Long-distance move from Austin, TX to Williamsburg, VA

Move from Texas to Virginia

I wanted to write and offer you our most sincere thanks for a wonderful move from Austin, TX to Williamsburg, VA. The moving company you contracted, Arena Van Lines Inc, was professional, friendly, timely, hard working and most importantly....very careful with the packing of our HHG. Shout out to Alex and Serge...they did an amazing job. We packed out on a Saturday and they delivered our HHG the following Friday. As military personnel, we've moved many times, and this was without a doubt the best move ever. Thank you again to Safe Ship Moving Services and Arena Van Lines Inc for providing an outstanding move!!

Do not use

I selected Safe Ship based on their assurance of delivering my items within four days, coupled with a competitive price compared to other moving companies. However, during the pickup process, I encountered discrepancies. Despite having fewer boxes than initially estimated, I was informed that I would require more space and was asked to sign blank documents, with the promise that costs would be filled in later. I declined, leading to an "estimated" cost significantly higher than the original quote. Additionally, I was almost charged a 3.5% fee for using Cash App, which was later confirmed to be unauthorized by Safe Ship's customer support.

Contrary to the promised four-day delivery, my items were not delivered within this timeframe. I later learned that movers have up to two weeks to complete delivery after the specified date, a detail omitted during the initial quoting process. Despite my persistent inquiries, with customer service promising delivery "tomorrow" for a week, my items arrived a week after the intended delivery date.

Furthermore, upon delivery, I was unexpectedly charged an additional $500 for a shuttle service, a fee not disclosed during the quoting process. Customer service explained that such charges are at the "driver's discretion," meaning the driver could impose this fee arbitrarily.

The accumulation of these undisclosed charges and the need for constant communication with customer service caused significant inconvenience and frustration. Based on my experience, I strongly advise against using Safe Ship for moving services.

Official company response

Thank you for sharing your concerns and experience during your recent move. We deeply regret the inconvenience and frustration you encountered during your move. It's our priority to provide clear, transparent communication and services that meet the expectations set during the quoting process. We understand how vital timely and straightforward moving services are to our customers, and we apologize that your experience fell short.
Regarding the discrepancies in the estimated cost and the final charges, it's important to clarify that our initial quotes are based on the information provided at the time of estimation. However, actual space requirements or changes in inventory can affect the final cost. We strive to ensure all documents are completed accurately before moving forward and regret any misunderstanding regarding the signing of documents and the subsequent adjustment in estimated costs. We continually work to improve our estimation processes to avoid such discrepancies.

Concerning the delivery timeframe, we acknowledge that the initial assurance of a four-day delivery was not met. The standard window for delivery, as regulated, can extend up to two weeks from the agreed date to accommodate various logistical factors. We realize this was not communicated effectively at the outset, and we apologize for the oversight and any inconvenience it may have caused.
Regarding the additional charge for shuttle service, we understand this was unexpected. These charges are typically dependent on the specific requirements of the delivery location, such as accessibility for large trucks. We recognize that better communication about potential additional fees is necessary and are committed to improving transparency in this area.
Safe Ship Moving operates as a broker, coordinating with moving companies to provide the best possible service for our customers. While we endeavor to oversee a smooth and satisfactory moving process, aspects such as delivery times and additional fees can sometimes fall under the discretion of the moving company executing the move. However, it's our responsibility to ensure that our customers are well-informed about these possibilities and to advocate on their behalf for fair and reasonable treatment.
We take your feedback seriously and will use it to review and improve our practices and communication.

Moving out of state

Friendly but expensive. I thought the movers were going to be Veterans as well. They outsourced the actual moving company. Friendly movers. (Rigos Moving). Chris was nice, he was the team lead. Had 7 movers and done in 2.5 hrs. Did have some damage for my wooden stair case, got reimbursed only $200. Outsourced from Safe Ship Moving. The second half of my delivery will be today…

Our experience with Safe Ship was nothing short of a nightmare

We are utterly disappointed and disgusted by the appalling service provided by Safe Ship Moving Services. Two weeks have passed since I sent a detailed email outlining the traumatic experience my family endured during our cross-country move, and yet, we have not received a single response from the company. It's evident that they couldn't care less about their customers, and their disregard for our concerns is beyond infuriating.

From start to finish, our experience with Safe Ship was nothing short of a nightmare. We were promised professionalism and reliability, but what we got was the complete opposite. The misrepresentation during booking, the unprofessional behavior of the moving crew, the false promises, delayed delivery, and the damage to our belongings—all of it has left us feeling robbed and betrayed.

What adds insult to injury is the lack of accountability and responsiveness from Safe Ship. Despite reaching out to them in hopes of resolving the matter, they have chosen to ignore our pleas for help. It's as if they think they can get away with scamming their customers and leaving them to deal with the aftermath alone.

I cannot emphasize enough how frustrated and helpless we feel as victims of this scam. Safe Ship Moving Services has shown their true colors, and it's clear that they prioritize their profits over the well-being of their customers. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this company at all costs. They do not deserve your business.

Ugly and Disastrous

I booked my move with them(SafeShip, SS) and I am regretting (My book agent was Nick Cirnigliaro). Today, they sent the trucking company (Safe Bound, SB). SB charged me 300 USD extra, because SS told me stairs were covered, but they were not. Also, they did not include all items. DONT BOOK with SS. They are crap.

Long-distance move from Little Elm, TX to Olanta, SC

Absolute Worse

Ive moved across the country 4 times, its stressful. Its even worse when you accidentally hire a shit hole company that screws you over at every turn.

They doubled the price - i had to pay an additional $7k on top of the $6k i had already given them. There were four guys that came to pack and move my furniture. None could speak well enough English and they ended up leaving so many of my items behind, i had to ask neighbors to ship my remaining things. “Perfectly Fine Moving” was the name of the idiots they sent. Some Russian guy who was a complete dick.

ZERO COMMUNICATION on what time the move was happening prior to. I had to call them and email them for 3 days to get a response. I feel like every person there just flat out lies about everything.

I went through the list of my items TWICE. The first time was with this guy named Dustin & the second time with Tim. Then the Russian guy gets to my house and says all the things i have on my list “aren’t on his” so they charge me extra, SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS EXTRA. Mind you, I’m LEAVING to move right then.

They said they were going to be at my house at 11:00 AM to move & unpack. They showed up at 5:30 with ONE PERSON to help them move me. So on top of having to pay all that extra money I also had to UNLOAD my own stuff.

They left all of their garbage here for-me to clean up AND didn’t set anything up but the beds.

Soo many broken items… a 1920s antique desk of my grandmothers, ruined. My coffee maker, ruined. I’m sure there’s more, I’m still unpacking.

And what kind of company doesn’t take CREDIT CARDS???? Venmo or Cashiers check and they charged me 3.5% in Venmo.

These guys are the WORST I’ve even encountered. Don’t use this company!!!!

Long-distance move from Lewisville, PA to Sewell, NJ

HORRIBLE! DO NOT USE!

My elderly family member recently moved from a 600-square-foot home to a 640-square-foot apartment 53 miles away. They decided to hire a moving company independently, without any input or guidance from the family. Shockingly, they spent $5,000 for the service, which included packing, moving, delivering, and unpacking.

On the day of the move, three men arrived with a box truck and packed up almost everything in about three hours, leaving some items behind. We then waited over two hours for them to arrive at the new apartment and when they did they unloaded quickly. Another family member and I were at the new place to help unpack. To our dismay, none of the boxes were labeled, and they piled them up to the ceiling before leaving. Despite paying for unpacking services, the movers left us with a chaotic mess.

As my sister and I began opening the boxes, we discovered that nothing was wrapped properly. Drawers were dumped into boxes without any organization, and items like lamps were thrown together unwrapped, leading to numerous broken items. It took us weeks to sort everything out and clean up the mess.

This was the most disorganized and haphazard move I have ever witnessed. My family member even tipped these movers on top of the $5,000 fee. The damage is done on our end, but I strongly urge you to avoid using Safe Ship Moving. They outsource to local movers, and the people who showed up were clearly not professionals. We even found trash packed in the boxes. Spare yourself the headache and avoid Safe Ship Moving at all costs.
