Safe Ship Moving Services

This is not a reputable company and you should avoid them. They offer an “expedited” service for you to schedule the exact date your delivery but it’s a total scam. They are a broker that subcontracts to other movers and you have no idea who is in possession of your belongings. I paid an extra $1000 and my stuff was not delivered on the specified date. They require Zelle or cash at pickup and drop off and add in bogus charges to drain your wallet. If this company is truly owned and operated by veterans, they should be ashamed of themselves for such dishonorable behavior.

Move size: 2 Bedroom Home Service cost: $5400

Official company response

We sincerely apologize for the experience you've described, and we want to address your concerns directly. Safe Ship Moving Services strives to provide clear communication and reliable service, and it’s disappointing to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.

We disclose this information upfront to ensure transparency, and we aim to partner only with reputable carriers. However, we understand the importance of knowing who is handling your belongings, and we regret any uncertainty or dissatisfaction you experienced regarding this.

Regarding the expedited service, we offer this option to help accommodate specific scheduling needs, but we recognize that unforeseen circumstances can sometimes cause delays. This is certainly not the experience we want for our customers, and we apologize if your delivery did not occur on the expected date. The additional cost associated with expedited service is intended to reflect the extra resources required to prioritize and expedite a move, not to mislead or inconvenience our customers.

The payment methods we use, including Zelle or cash, are common practices in the moving industry to ensure secure and efficient transactions. However, we understand your concerns about this and the charges you encountered.

Lastly, Safe Ship Moving Services takes pride in being a veteran-owned and operated company.

Unreliable and Unprofessional

I had a disappointing experience with Safe Ship Moving Services during my recent move on August 26th, 2024. I was quoted $5,400 for a three-bedroom apartment, but the final cost ballooned to $6,200 with hidden fees. The crew arrived three hours late, and they were careless with my belongings—several items were damaged, including a family heirloom. Communication was poor, and I was left feeling frustrated and unsupported. I would not recommend Safe Ship Moving Services.

Move size: 3 Bedroom Home Service cost: $5400

Official company response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Safe Ship Moving Services. We sincerely apologize for the challenges you encountered during your move, as this is not the experience we aim to provide our customers.

Regarding the increase in cost, we understand how frustrating unexpected fees can be. The initial quote provided is based on the information given to us, and any adjustments in the final cost typically result from additional items, changes in the volume of goods, or specific services required during the move. However, we strive to be as transparent as possible, and we're sorry if there were any misunderstandings or if these changes were not communicated clearly.

The delay in the crew's arrival and the mishandling of your belongings, especially something as irreplaceable as a family heirloom, is deeply concerning. We hold our moving partners to high standards, and we regret that this was not reflected in your experience. We are committed to addressing such issues and will work with our partners to ensure they meet the expectations we set for them.

Your concerns about communication are also noted, and we understand the frustration that comes from feeling unsupported, especially during such a significant event as a move. We will review our communication processes to ensure that future customers receive the timely and effective support they deserve.

While we regret that your experience was not what you expected, we appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our services. If you would like to discuss this matter further or need assistance in filing a claim for the damages, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service team. We are here to help and want to ensure that your concerns are addressed.

Long-distance move from Houston, TX to Norfolk, VA

Wish We'd Never Used Safe Ship Moving

We are working with Safe Ship as broker for daughter's interstate move from Texas to Virginia, and its been an absolute nightmare.

We had immediate delivery date of August 1 in estimate, and importance was repeatedly confirmed by the Safe Ship sales rep. Long story short - items picked up in Houston, Texas at noon on Saturday, July 27th, and as of late afternoon on Friday, August 2nd, they were still sitting in a warehouse a few miles away.

I have no idea if/when delivery will occur. All Safe Ship will says is that it should be there at some point point on or before August 13th. They have been shockingly ambivalent to our frustrations, unprofessional and unresponsive.

My daughter starts classes as first year med student this week. I've put her up in a hotel for the time being. I will probably have her buy sleeping bag and an air mattress in otherwise empty apartment, and some business casual close for beginning of school. When I raised these out-of-pocket expenses with Safe Ship, they were insultingly dismissive.

Terrible experience, and still not over. Cannot imagine why anyone would use Safe Ship, or how they stay in business. Wish we had done more diligence on front end, and used someone reputable.

Move size: 1 Bedroom Home Service cost: $2600

Official company response

We deeply regret the distress and inconvenience you and your daughter have experienced with your recent move. We understand how crucial timely delivery is, especially given the significant life event of starting medical school. Your frustration is entirely understandable, and we sincerely apologize for the delays and the impact they have had on your plans.

As a broker, Safe Ship Moving Services coordinates with various carriers to facilitate moves, but we recognize that this does not alleviate your immediate concerns. The delivery window you mentioned should have been more accurately communicated, and we apologize if our initial estimates gave a different impression. The new delivery date provided by the carrier falls within their standard transit time, but we understand this is little consolation given your current situation.

Regarding your daughter's start of school and the related out-of-pocket expenses, we empathize with your position. While Safe Ship's primary role is to coordinate the logistics of the move, we are committed to working with our carrier partners to ensure that they are aware of the urgency and need for timely communication and action.

We encourage you to keep in close contact with our customer service team, who can provide updates as they become available and assist in expediting the process where possible.

If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Long-distance move from Irving, TX to Denver, CO

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.

Across country move

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.

Long-distance move from Snowflake, AZ to Mount Vernon, IN

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.

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.

We deeply apologize for your recent experience. Your feedback highlights several areas where we fell short, and we take it very seriously. We aim to provide exceptional service to all our customers, especially our valued military personnel, and it’s clear we did not meet your expectations.

The lack of timely response from our customer service team is unacceptable, and we are committed to improving our response times and ensuring representatives are available to assist you throughout the entire moving process.
The issues with the movers and the lack of packing materials are not representative of our service standards.

We apologize for the damage to your items and the mess left behind, as this is not the level of service we strive to provide.

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.

Moving help today

Excellent service! Guys wee GREAT! Only reason not 6 stars because I wasn't today about potential extra cost for packing materials.Cost me over $1,000 more. I thought ALL packing materials were included in the price I was quoted. Not the movers fault though. That's on the person who arranged things with me.

Again, movers were excellent!
