SH Movers Inc

I've never used a moving company before, but we decided to call in the professionals for our last move (SoCal to Albuquerque.) The actual movers were fantastic! On time, friendly, skilled and competent. But the company? They wanted to charge us hundreds more than the estimate, until we came to a compromise. They came on June 9th, and our estimated arrival was for July 2nd. Today is July 16th. We've called several times to get an ETA, with absolutely no response. A simple call back is all we want! I'm hoping that this review will accomplish that. We shall see.

BEWARE: I hired supposed "SH" moving company who promised me they were not brokers and would personally provide us with a professional move at a guaranteed price on a guaranteed day. I gave a substantial downpayment through VENMO with an agreed upon 50% of total amount due upon load in and the balance upon delivery, all which was outlined in our signed contract. Movers came a day -1/2 early, they were subcontractors in a budget rental truck and told me I had to pay twice as much as I had contracted for 400 cubic ft of furniture and had to pay 75% upon pick up. No one will answer my calls or text messages. I believe this is a fake company. Please beware. I lost my deposit and no one will answer my calls or texts. Lucas Wood was my contact.

If you want an inaccurate estimate and pay a thousand more than you are promised, by all means use this company. They'll tell you if you add a couple things the price won't change. Once you pay the initial payment and your stuff is on the move, the operator will not respond to you anymore. Especially that guy Blake. He's a scam artist. I tried calling with a different number and they blatantly hung up. By the time they are ready to deliver, they told me the street is too narrow and tried to charge me 500 more. The street was wide enough cause it had 2 lanes. Then when it came to the destination they left my stuff in the lobby of the building and didn't bother to deliver it to my apartment. Awful company. Use a different company! I couldn't stress it enough.

I am currently waiting for SH movers to deliver my furniture, They picked up my furniture on Nov/19, and today 2 weeks later I am still waiting for the delivery (expected Dec-1st). It has been incredibly hard to reach out to them, I wrote several emails, they don't answer calls et al. The only email reply I got, is that the standard time they take for delivery is 4 weeks after the expected delivery day (Means after Dec-1st). So basically I have to wait 4 weeks more!!! They wouldn’t give me any more information, like an approximate delivery day. I had to just wait at home, this is highly inconvenient since I work and need to travel for work sometimes. Also, Be aware of the initial quote. They give me an inicial quote of $2100, but the day of the loading, they applied gasoline and materials fees, the bill came up to $3200 (that is a 50% increase). I would update this review once I get my furniture, and talk about the state of my furniture.

If it's too good to be true, it is. Be prepared to pay 50% more than what you're initially quoted. They try to extort you for more every step of the way. Want the full-pack option? Be prepared to have your stuff thrown in unlabeled boxes.

Their subcontracted crew's #1 goal is to get out of there as quickly as possible and they're not going to let keeping your stuff intact or damaging your house get in their way. Even the movers at pick-up and drop-off went on and on about how much they hate this company.

Yes, it's a scam company. Be smarter than me and read the specifics of the negative review instead of the cookie cutter positive reviews.

If I could give this company a rating of -10 it wouldn’t be enough to relay how unhappy I am with the service I received moving from Buffalo, New York to Mims, Florida. I initially contracted Fidelity Van Lines for my move. At no time in my several conversations with one of their representatives did they mention that they would be contracting my move out to another company. I secured their services with a down payment of $1500.00. When a date was decided upon for the move, I paid an additional $1250.00. It was my understanding at that time that when moving day arrived, I was to give them a check for $1200.00 and that another $1200.00 would be due upon delivery for a total of $5150.00. I would like to note that there were NO appliances, NO bedroom sets, NO dining set, NO couch, chair, or loveseat. There were approximately 12 pieces of furniture such as a trunk, a grandfather curio cabinet, 2 bookcases, a recliner, a small type of entrance bench and several accent tables as well as totes and boxes.

When the moving truck arrived, it was from SH Movers. The paperwork was filled out and was presented to me showed that the amount of the check I was to give them was not $1200.00 as the contract I signed stated, but $3783.75. Being that the closing for my home was for that same day, just hours away, what was a person to do? From the time the paperwork was being done when they arrived until they were done loading the person that seemed to be the lead person suggested to me that they would be expecting a tip. This was mentioned not once but at least a half dozen times.

When the moving truck arrived at my new residence many of the new totes, I had purchased for the move had damaged lids and missing clamps on the ends. Many of the heavy-duty boxes I had purchased also had damage. I’m still unpacking and so far, have found a several broken pieces and boxes that seem to have been gone through. BEWARE!
