Safe Ship Moving Services

DO NOT USE THEM! STAY AWAY AT ALL COST! You will get damaged goods and lost items. I had my mover cancel at last moment. I had to look for anyone. Safe Ship agreed and I signed without reading any reviews as I had no time. I had everything paced, wrapped marked with my name and address. They took my stuff and put it in storage. I finally got it after 30 days. I do not know how many times it must of went in and out of different trucks to get to my house. My boxes looked like they were picked up from the garbage. Smashed, upside down, damaged. Some stuff was put in different boxes that I didn't pack. Because they must have got ripped open. The driver asked if this was my stuff over here in the truck? Then gave me stuff that was not even mine. Had a TV that was wrapped in a blanket, then put in a TV box. Was no way it could get broke. It was on the truck bed with two bikes on top of the TV. All my boxes and stuff were free to slide around in the truck. It was a mess in that truck. Nother was tied down. People stuff was mixed upped with other stuff. Only one guy was there to unload it. He didn't care about nothing. I asked where his help was, and he said I'm it. I had to help him unload the truck and bring my stuff in. I filed a claim for the broken stuff and lost boxes. Was told that they didn't pack any boxes. so, they are not liable. Case closed. If you ship anything that can break, it will if you ship with them. I really feel that they know that they can toss, smash, misplace any box if they didn't pack it. Because they can. I will never use them ever again and I plan on making sure that I let everyone and anyone know.

When I first reached Safe Ship Moving Service, I thought I had selected a moving company with a catchy name. I admit that we were wary, especially since we’d had a very bad experience in our last move with a distance involved, so we didn’t want to have a similar experience.

But this time, during that initial call, I got annoyed when I found out that Safe Ship Moving Service was exactly that—a moving service/broker, not a mover. Suddenly, I was being asked to tell and describe to the initial person the items we would be moving, which kind of put me on the spot. However, I did the best I could and was given a tentative quote. The rep told me that a QC staffer would call me closer to our pick-up date to verify the list of items to be shipped and that I could call back with questions. In previous moves, a rep had come to our home instead of handling everything by phone. Knowing all that, I still decided to give them a chance.

Deon was great and so reassuring that we figured we would be just fine. Safe Ship knew that we wanted moving services but also car-moving services, so not being able to provide firm dates was problematic. Every representative with whom I spoke seemed to really care and have a vested interest in our success.

In the end, we came to value the Safe Ship reps, who were with us every step of the way, especially when we had to repeatedly change dates. I had also been so impressed with United National Movers and its rep, Benny, when they picked up our belongings and wrapped up and packaged our kitchen items so carefully. However, there had been only one wrinkle during the pre-mover stage: I found out rather late, while packing, the moving company’s basis for costs. Then I was more self-assured than before and ready to recalibrate for a more cost-effective outcome.

Everything fell into place. Benny’s team delivered and placed all our belongings successfully, and Richard delivered our car successfully too. I would say it was a win-win for all of us!

This is not an honest company. Do not trust them. They are a broker, not a mover. They will give you a low quote and ask for a deposit. Then when it’s time to move, they double or even triple the cost of the move. I ended up canceling my move with them because they were so shady and untrustworthy. Go directly to a verified mover (not a broker) and get a firm quote in writing. Safe ship even deleted their original low quote from the emails they sent me so that I could not refer back to them after they raised the price. I can not emphasize this enough, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

Terrible. A lot of hidden fees attached. Its a Broker company that uses 3rd parties that cannot be trusted. They charge per cubic feet. and when providing an estimate over the phone, PURPOSELY underestimate the amount of space your items will take to give you a good quote, and once the movers get there, they take a quick look at your stuff and give you a new quote that is vastly more than the original quote although I had clearly stated the items I had. I ended up leaving a lot of it behind to stay at the same price. Regarding hidden fees- I was charged extra for a flight of stairs EVEN after being specifically told I wouldnt be for one flight. Be wary that they may also charge extra if you live in an apartment and they use an elevator.

To top that, the movers that did come also STOLE money I had kept in one of the containers. Additionally, delivery was delayed, they stated it would be done in 2 days to a maximum to 7 days, however after constantly following up with them, finally got it in about 2 weeks. I honestly was worried I would never see my items again.

Please do not trust this company or any other company that work as brokers for money.
