EXCELLENT SERVICE

It’s my first time using Safe Ship and was honestly impressed from the initial phone call, all the way through the moving process. The movers were on time, gave me texts updates of their arrival, and were very nice and easy to work with.. They got everything done so quickly and with highest level of attention and care.

Thank you for such a great experience!

Overall great experience!

Overall had a good experience. Booking was easy and fast. I needed movers at a fairly short notice and was worried I wouldn’t find anyone or it would be crazy expensive but it was a lot smoother of a process than I expected. My only complaint is I didn’t get a call telling me when the movers would be there until 10:30pm the day before the move so that was a little annoying. I was told they would call the day before, but expected it to be earlier than that. But the actual day of the move went great. The movers showed up around 1pm, packed everything up nicely, and got all my stuff to the new place and unloaded by 9pm. Overall, very happy I booked these movers and saved myself time and sanity!

We’re really glad to hear the overall experience was a positive one and that the move itself went smoothly from start to finish. It’s understandable to feel frustrated about the late confirmation call, and we appreciate you sharing that—it’s helpful feedback we’ll use to improve. Most importantly, we’re happy everything came together on moving day and that the process helped save you time and stress. Thank you for choosing us and for taking the time to share your experience.

Fast and professional

You never realize how much stuff you have until it's time to move! My apartment was a bit of a mess when the movers arrived but they where helpful, quick, and efficient. They clearly communicated their fees upon assessing the volume of stuff I needed to move, along with the additional costs associated with stairs/long walks from truck to apartment.

I was originally estimated ~$2000 but the total came to ~$3000. This was explained in detail , which again, was from stairs, more volume than I expected, and the long walks. Be a as precise as you can with your situation for an accurate estimate!

When things were settled, All of the large furniture were carefully covered in blankets and swifty moved to the van. And they were accomodsting with some last minute panic packing and disassembly.

From then on, it was time to drive across Texas, and they made a beeline for the destination. They were able to arrive just as fast in their large truck as my compact car!

Moving from Houston to Chicago

Im writing this review only halfway through my move—the truck came just this morning and to pick up all my things. Cesar, Javier, and Rolando from Cobra Van Lines were fantastic! They were friendly, careful, and crazy efficient, even able to squeeze in a few extra items within my cubic feet allotment when I asked. While I haven’t experienced drop off yet, I felt the Cobra Van Lines team (who SafeShip contracted) deserved some love for the pick up.

Great job moving to a house and a storage unit

I just moved into a smaller house and had a lot of stuff, so I moved some of my stuff into a storage unit and the rest to my new house. The movers from Safe Ship Moving Services did a great job! They planned the move well so we had the stuff going to the house in the front of the truck and the stuff going to the storage unit at the end of the truck, so we could unload to the storage unit first. They were polite and managed to move big items that I did not think could be moved.

Move size: 2 Bedroom Home Service cost: $3100

Official company response

Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience! We're delighted to hear that the the moving team helped make your transition to a smaller home smooth and well-organized. Coordinating a move where items are split between a storage unit and a new residence can be challenging, and it’s wonderful to know the team planned efficiently to ensure everything was unloaded in the right order.

It’s also great to hear they were polite and managed those big, tricky items with care and expertise. We strive to partner with carriers who uphold professionalism and go the extra mile for our customers. If you have any additional feedback or need assistance in the future, we’re here to help. Best wishes as you settle into your new home!

DONT EVER BOOK THEM

DONT EVEN BOOK THEM. FIND SOMEONE ELSE. THIS IS A BROKER COMPANY. GO DIRECTLY TO A MOVING COMPANY AND BOOK THROUGH THEM. They will come upon here and defend themselves but honestly, trust me, please go with anyone else! Let them say what they want but the money trail we are about to lay out for you everything you need to know. They originally quoted us about $6000 for our move from Texas to Colorado, I chose them because they were the least expensive out of all of the companies but that was my mistake. They did it by “cubic feet”.

After the quality assurance call we were increased to $13000. Because APPARENTLY our cubic feet needs went from 700 to 1500 cubic feet. WHO THE HEK HAS THAT MUCH MONEY LAYING AROUND FOR A MOVE? I was sobbing so much every day. My husband and I were extremely stressed out, we were losing our hair! How are we able to come up with that much money and WE CANT CHARGE IT. 4 DAYS before our move and we had NO time to find another company and they had required us to put down a non refundable $5900 deposit. They contract the move out to some random companies that are all monopolized by Russians. YOU CAN ONLY PAY WITH DEBIT CARD. DELIVERY is CASH. If you want to go with them, accurate count of everything BEFORE YOU PACK UP AND MOVE because not only will they screw you, they will screw you several times. Because after that $13000 jump increase we were not able to buy ANYTHING ANYMORE and on top of that, after the guys loaded everything into our truck they had to increase it to $15000 because our things filled up the truck (Perfectly Fast Moving Co). After this fiasco, I called other moving companies and I found out it probably would have been cheaper to be charged the whole entire truck instead VS just PER CUBIC feet. WE FEEL SO CHEATED. BAIT AND SWITCH COMPANY 100%. THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT THIS COMPANY IS THEIR SWEET CUSTOMER SERVICE, I CRIED SO MANY TIMES TO THEM BECAUSE WHO THE HELL HAS $8000 OUT OF THEIR POCKET TO PAY THESE PEOPLE?? I hope the people and owners of this company have karma come back to them because they screwed my little family. ALSO SOME OF OUR STUFF IS BROKEN & THEY DAMAGED MY NEW WALLS.

Move size: 2 Bedroom Home Service cost: $15010

Official company response

We are genuinely sorry to hear about the experience you and your family went through during your move. Moving can be an incredibly stressful event, and it sounds like your situation was particularly challenging. I appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and want to address some of the key points you've raised to provide clarity.

Safe Ship Moving Services is indeed a broker, not a moving company. As a broker, our role is to connect customers with moving companies that can meet their needs, and we work diligently to ensure that the moving companies we partner with are reliable and professional. We aim to provide accurate estimates based on the information provided during the initial calls, including the cubic footage of the items to be moved. However, sometimes changes in the inventory or additional items can lead to adjustments in the final cost.

Regarding the increase in your moving cost, unfortunately, this can sometimes happen if all items are not accounted for or if there are changes in the move plan. We always encourage customers to provide the most accurate inventory possible to avoid such situations, but I understand how upsetting it can be when the cost increases.

As for the payment methods, the companies we partner with typically have their own policies regarding payment types, and we try to communicate these clearly. I understand that requiring a large payment on short notice, especially in a way that limits your options, can be incredibly stressful.

I also want to sincerely apologize for the damage to your belongings and your new walls. This is not the outcome we strive for, and I encourage you to reach out to our customer service team for the claims information to file a claim for these damages. We take these issues seriously and want to ensure that you are compensated fairly.

If there’s anything further we can do to assist you, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly. We genuinely regret the distress this move has caused your family, and we want to help make things right where we can.

I would recommend these guys to others. They showed up on time and got right to work. They were very quick with the process while also making sure to take the extra time to properly wrapped all my items with both blankets and plastic. They all were very friendly and maintained a professional sense while working. I feel lucky that I had these guys come to my place to move my things. I know that they were handled properly and are in good hands. Once again I would recommend them to anyone looking for any type of move, whether it be across the country like me or just a local move.

Good moving company

When they picked up, there was clear evidence of miscommunication between what we thought we were paying for and how they ended up charging. We did end up paying, I would say, substantially more. But maybe that is just how the cost of services were initially communicated.

However, the people we dealt with both with management and with the actual movers were polite and did a great job with our belongings. I would still give a good recommendation to others considering using their services. We were very happy with the delivery and their professionalism.

Move size: 2 Bedroom Home Service cost: $5943

Official company response

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're glad to hear that despite the challenges with the cost, you were pleased with the professionalism and care shown by both our management team and the movers during your relocation. We understand that unexpected changes in pricing can be frustrating, and we appreciate your understanding that this might stem from how the cost of services was communicated initially.

As a broker, we work hard to provide accurate estimates based on the information available at the time of booking. However, there are times when unforeseen factors, such as additional items or services required, can lead to adjustments in the final cost.

Your positive feedback about the team's politeness and the care taken with your belongings is greatly appreciated. We're happy that the overall experience was positive and that you would recommend our services to others. If you ever need assistance in the future, we're here to help!

Long-distance move from Houston, TX to Scotch Plains, NJ

Terrible experience

Words cannot begin to describe the disappointment I have with this company. It was a disaster from start to finish. I was originally quoted $12,000 for the move over the phone, and on the day of, I was told $23,000. What are you supposed to do when half of your items are already on the truck?! It was very frustrating. By way of background, no one at Safe Ship explained to me that they were using subcontractors. Also, they told me I could pay with credit card. I did upon initial deposit and at pick-up. Upon delivery, I get a call late afternoon Sunday that they were coming with my stuff the next morning at 9am, and I needed $8k cash. It was infuriating.

As for the quality of their subcontractor, the packers did not label any of the boxes, so it was total chaos when the boxes arrived because it was impossible to tell what went where. At the end of packing, the driver literally made me write a positive review on BBB for Safe Ship. He told me what to write and even typed part himself. I felt so uncomfortable. He then said that my items would be arriving by the following Thursday (one week from pickup). They showed up two and half weeks later. Of course, they demanded payment in full in cash before unloading, but what they did not tell me is that half my items were not there and would be coming by separate delivery. The next delivery did not take place until almost a full month after pickup! Mind you, I moved two bedrooms, a living room, dining room and study. After the first delivery, I had one bedroom with no footboard or mattress, one bedroom entirely missing and no dining room table or hutch. Living a whole month without these things after paying $23,000 felt like highway robbery. Also, for both deliveries, the driver hired guys off Crgslist, which made me feel super uncomfortable, as they had no background checks or qualifications for moving expensive furniture, nor were they likely insured. As for the second delivery, he said he would arrive next day at 9am. 11am, I texted him, and he said he would be there shortly. He did not show up until almost 7pm, demanded full payment again (despite having already paid), and he had no help until one guy from Crgslist showed up 30 minutes later. Tons of damage to furniture, missing pieces, including original artwork done by my deceased mother. Stay far away from this company! When I reported all of this to them, they just kept saying they were the middle-man and not responsible. I did not hire their subcontrator; they did! I wanted to deal with the company that sold me their services and that I had been able to research; not strangers!

Official company response

We sincerely apologize for the distressing experience you’ve described. Moving is already a challenging process, and it’s clear that the issues you faced added unnecessary frustration and discomfort. We deeply regret that the service did not meet your expectations.

Regarding the price increase on the day of your move, we understand how shocking and frustrating this must have been, especially when your items were already loaded onto the truck. Safe Ship Moving Services provides initial estimates based on the information given during the booking process. However, if there are discrepancies in inventory or unforeseen complexities, the final cost can differ. That said, this increase should have been communicated transparently and in advance, and we regret it if it wasn’t.

As a brokerage, Safe Ship Moving Services works with third-party carriers, and we clearly state our role as a broker in multiple places throughout our communications and documentation. This includes our website, where we outline our services and the nature of our business, as well as in the terms and conditions provided to you during the booking process. Additionally, this information is included in the contract that you sign, ensuring transparency about our role from the outset. Your feedback regarding the conduct and professionalism of the subcontractors is deeply concerning. The behavior you described, including pressuring you to write a positive review, is completely unacceptable and does not reflect the standards we expect from the carriers we work with.

The demand for cash payments upon delivery is also troubling. While some carriers have different payment policies, this too should have been communicated clearly at the outset to avoid such stressful situations. The fact that you were not informed properly and felt pressured to pay in cash is something we take seriously, and we will be addressing this issue with the carrier involved.

The disorganization of your boxes, the delays in delivery, and the handling of your belongings, particularly the damage to your furniture and the loss of sentimental items, are deeply regrettable. The use of unverified labor from platforms like Craigslist is highly concerning and not aligned with the professional standards we strive to uphold. We will be thoroughly reviewing the conduct of the subcontractor involved in your move.

Lastly, we understand your frustration with the response you received when you reported these issues. While Safe Ship Moving Services acts as a broker, we are committed to standing by our customers and addressing issues with the carriers we partner with. We apologize if this was not your experience, and we are committed to making improvements based on your feedback.

We know that no explanation can fully repair the frustration and inconvenience you’ve experienced, but please know that your feedback is invaluable.

Unfulfilled Promises

Safe Ship Moving Services left us stranded in a maze of delays and broken commitments. What was supposed to be a seamless move became a nightmare of missing items and zero accountability.

We apologize for the delays, miscommunication, and the handling of your items.

Awful Service

My experience with Safe Ship Moving Services was an absolute disaster. The crew was completely unprofessional, arriving late and damaging multiple items during the move. Their lack of care was evident, and communication throughout the process was almost nonexistent. They even tried to charge extra fees that weren’t disclosed upfront. I would strongly advise against using this company. Total Disappointment.!

Unreliable Service

I had a very disappointing experience with Safe Ship Moving Services. They were unprofessional and unreliable throughout the entire process. First, they missed the scheduled pickup date without notifying me, which was incredibly frustrating. When they finally arrived, they rushed through packing and mishandled my belongings. Several items arrived damaged, and it was clear they didn’t handle anything with care. To make matters worse, their customer service was unresponsive when I tried to address these issues. I wouldn’t recommend Safe Ship Moving Services to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy moving company.

We sincerely apologize for the frustrating experience you had with Safe Ship Moving Services. We understand how important it is for a move to go smoothly, and it’s upsetting to hear that we fell short of your expectations.

Long-distance move from Memphis, TN to Sacramento, CA

Expensive, unapologetic, substandard, lack of accountability

Unprofessional, Disrespectful, Borderline scam, Extremely expensive for substandard service. Lack of promised support and communication for military as was promised.

The sales pitch is understandable and straight forward. A little expensive but I am paying white glove, so proceed. I set up my move more than a month prior so relatively radio silent.

The week prior they confirm date range and review inventory determining that cost of the move is now 2k more... So i decide to leave some things behind but still roughly 10 k now in cost. 24 hrs prior they confirm address and movers are dispatched and i am given a time and date. However, noone comes, no calls and i cant get a hold of customer service for hours. Turns out they sent them to NC while i am waiting in TN on a specific timeline now that was confirmed 24 hrs prior. They refuse to give deposit back or offer any compensation when they dispatch an inexperienced crew (promised experienced) to a different state outside of the date window. I could have packed my small stuff myself and abandoned my large items for less grief and mental stress. I am out 5k for the deposit, so I am committed to the sinking ship.

I finally get pickup scheduled outside of dates window and 2 hrs after the NEW promised time window of the day. Customer service does not answer or call back or leaves on hold for over an hour. On day of the move my crew had no packing or padding materials materials and was 2 of the 4 men promised. The specialty boxes for paintings mirrors, wardrobe or lamps were not there despite the high cost of deposit of the itemized list. The movers have a verbal argument for most of the move and then they get in a fight with 2 other movers that were dispatched to help them so they left. Customer service yet again does not pickup or answer or check in on me during this ordeal. This is despite a confirmed direct line with a verbal promise that she would be available should anything go wrong during the moving day. My glassware is broken immediately. Glass pictures just placed loosely together in a box. I paid for a white glove and had to step in and help pack. It was chaos, they did not know how to organize boxes, left things that were supposed to be packed. Packed things that were supposed to be left (and told to leave them).Chaos. They left glass and trash strewn about the front of my house and the stoop for me to deal with afterwards.

Customer service continues to be unapologetic and at times defensive. For the most part they simply do not call or check in on you at all. They have your money and expect you to now communicate with the movers despite prior instruction. I paid 5k dollar deposit on a 10k service that was not rendered nor delivered. They hang up on me, do not call me back, and gaslight me as if I was supposed to have organized the "experienced" movers or packed things differently.

I am awaiting drop off now and hoping for minimal damage, but considering I watched boxes be dropped and kicked and items broken, my hopes are not high. They have told me that they are my strong advocate, I am hoping for them to pull through because it is 0% right now.

Compensation so far was 300$ off the pickup for being an entire day outside a confirmed time window under 24 hrs. Hoping for a big improvement and money back in the next week with pending meetings with management.

I cannot believe this is a recommended company. Veteran-run company with a promise to look after active service member? The work done at this company is nothing to be proud of so far.

I would love to amend this review if someone would please reach out and we can get some answers and real customer service and compensation back my way. This has been abysmal.

DO NOT USE THIS ETHICALLY AND MORALLY CORRUPT COMPANY! They will bait and switch you, they will hold your things hostage and will even try to make you feel like it's your fault your shipment is delayed because you decided to move during the busiest time of year! What?? You will be lied to and become exhausted trying to find out what has happened to your belongings even though you have paid them a lot of money to do that job! Save yourself a lot of money and headaches and STAY AWAY from them. I could list all the things that happened to me but it is all in the other's reviews. My goal is to warn everyone and anyone about this company so that they go out of business.

Moving Mess

They didn’t mark the boxes of what was in the box, so on delivery you end up with a pile of unmarked boxes. They give no indication of what was inside or where it goes. A disaster!!!!! What should be quick and efficient process became a laborious and a weeks long effort. They said they aren’t required to mark the boxes. REAL moving companies do!!!

Move size: 2 Bedroom Home Service cost: $8000

Official company response

We are truly sorry to hear about your experience with the unmarked boxes during your move. We understand how frustrating and time-consuming it can be to unpack without clear indications of the contents or their designated rooms. As a brokerage company, we partner with various carriers who manage the packing and transportation of your items. While some carriers may not mark boxes as part of their standard service, we always recommend discussing these preferences and any specific packing needs with your assigned carrier beforehand.

We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our communication and services. Our goal is to ensure that every move is as seamless as possible. Please reach out to our customer service team if you need further assistance or if there are any other issues we can help resolve. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Worst company!

Avoid Safe Ship Moving Company at All Costs

My experience with Safe Ship Moving Company has been an absolute nightmare from start to finish. They market themselves as a reliable broker, but in reality, their service is deceptive, unprofessional, and exploitative. Here’s why:

Manipulative Estimates: I originally had a signed contract with PODS for $6,000 but was persuaded by Safe Ship to switch after being promised a "special discount." This so-called discount turned out to be fraudulent—my estimate was manipulated by removing key items from the list to keep the quote artificially low. When the truth came to light, I was already bound by their contract, leaving me no choice but to proceed and ultimately pay over $10,000.

Last-Minute Price Hike: Days before the move, they claimed my volume estimate had increased and inflated the price. I was pressured to accept the new estimate or risk losing my initial deposit and being left without movers, jeopardizing my ability to relocate for a new job.

Horrific Delivery Experience: The movers arrived late, unprepared, and with the wrong truck, forcing me to do much of the work myself, including loading and unloading my car. They also charged me extra for "long-range delivery," a completely avoidable situation caused by their failure to communicate or plan properly.

Damaged and Missing Items: Upon delivery, I found several pieces of furniture damaged, plastic bins destroyed, and part of my shipment missing—including a mattress and boxes that the movers promised to deliver later. To top it off, I ended up with an iron table that wasn’t even mine.

Theft of Personal Belongings: Most infuriatingly, some of my personal items that were in my apartment—not part of the move—were stolen during the delivery. A drone worth $1,000, portable speakers worth $200, and cash hidden in a drawer were taken. A plastic bin had been suspiciously opened, making it clear that one of the movers was deliberately looking for valuables. Safe Ship has denied all responsibility for the theft, despite these actions being carried out by movers they contracted.

Zero Accountability: Safe Ship claims they "never had physical possession" of my items and refuses to take any responsibility for the actions of their subcontractors. Their emails show a complete lack of remorse, support, or willingness to resolve these issues. They seem to view their role as simply taking your money and then washing their hands of everything else.

This company preys on vulnerable customers, exploiting the stress and urgency of moving to inflate costs and avoid accountability. They create a façade of professionalism but are nothing more than professional scammers. I wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone.

If you value your time, money, and sanity, DO NOT USE SAFE SHIP MOVING COMPANY. I am pursuing all possible legal avenues to seek reparations, and I strongly urge anyone else scammed by this company to do the same. Safe Ship’s business practices are unacceptable and must be stopped.

Official company response

Thank you for sharing your concerns about your experience with Safe Ship Moving Services. We sincerely regret to hear about the difficulties you encountered during your move. We want to address your concerns transparently, clarify Safe Ship’s role as a broker, and provide explanations for some of the issues you’ve raised.

First, we deeply empathize with the frustration and stress caused by the challenges you described. Moving is inherently a significant and sometimes overwhelming life event, and it’s our goal to ease, not amplify, the stress involved. We understand your disappointment, especially regarding the pricing, delivery, and damages.

As a broker, Safe Ship Moving Services facilitates connections between customers and licensed moving carriers. We are upfront about our role in this process and emphasize that we do not own trucks or employ the movers directly. We make every effort to ensure that the carriers we work with provide reliable, professional service. However, as we do not have physical custody of your belongings at any point, we cannot directly control the carriers’ operations during the move. If the carrier failed to meet your expectations, we’d like to assist you in addressing this with the carrier directly.

Regarding the cost adjustments you mentioned, it’s important to clarify how pricing works. The initial estimate is based on the inventory provided during the booking process. If the inventory list changes—whether additional items are added or the volume/weight increases—the carrier may require an adjustment to the estimate to reflect the updated scope of the move. We strive to communicate this clearly from the outset to avoid surprises, and we regret if this was not your experience.

The concerns about damages, missing items, or alleged theft are incredibly serious. We urge you to file a claim with the carrier, as they are required to provide specific coverage for your belongings during transit. We’re here to guide you through that process, and our team can provide the necessary documentation to facilitate the claim. While we understand the sense of injustice when items are damaged or lost, it’s vital to address these issues directly with the carrier handling the move, as they are ultimately responsible.

As for allegations of high-pressure tactics, we absolutely do not condone such behavior from anyone within our organization. If you felt pressured or misled, we would like to investigate this matter thoroughly. Customer trust is paramount, and any instance of miscommunication or improper conduct is taken very seriously.

Finally, we regret if you felt our team lacked empathy or accountability in resolving your concerns. We always aim to assist customers in navigating challenges, even when the issues fall outside our direct control. Please reach out to our customer care team with more details so we can review your case further and advocate on your behalf with the carrier.

We value your feedback and use it to improve our processes and partnerships. We remain committed to providing fair and transparent service, and we would like to work toward a resolution. If you wish to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly.
