Speedy Movers

I hired this company after seeing such great reviews online.  The "binding" estimate was anything but..I was charged for tape that they used to wrap the larger items.  I subtracted a few things and added a few to my order when they arrived at the house for pick up.  I had a very small load as I was doing a partial move while the house was on the market to sell.  I expected that I may have to pay a little extra, but was charged over $600 extra for adding a recliner and a small table and 2 chairs (and subtracting a table).
The real fun came when they got to my house in Seattle (from Oklahoma).  They claimed that the truck would not fit on my road (many other moving trucks have fit there) and said they would charge over $400 to carry my things to the house.  They also claimed that the truck wouldn't fit on the road behind my house (there is an entry there) and then they pulled into that road to turn around when they left!!  I refused to pay the additional $400, it was a long process and they finally agreed to carry in the 3 heaviest items (couch, chair, and part of the bed) for $50.  The rest of my things were left on the side of the road!  I was alone (51 yo woman) and carried each item (22 boxes, rest of the bed, 2 tables, trunk, etc) to the house myself.
I have moved around the country many times and have never had such bad service.  They also told me they don't use subcontractors, but an Enterprise truck picked up my load and a United Van Lines deliverred.
The rest of the move is being done by Allied and they have assured me they can get in our road with THEIR truck and if they can't, they transfer the items to a smaller truck and deliver at no additional charge.  Allied says we pay for the delivery and it is their responsibility to get it there (as it shoudl be.) 
I called Speedy Movers to complain, sent pictures of the damaged boxes, and an email and have not heard back in over a week.  DO NOT use this company!

We moved with speedy movers and to my pleasant surprise my furniture arrived a day early. Matthew in sales was really helpful, patient and detailed. Jonathan and the movers were really swift, yet careful when needed with my paintings. I recommend this company for anyone who is looking to move. They treated me like a first class customer. The only complain I have is that we only had a day before notice on what time they were coming the following day and would've like a slightly earlier heads up but over all I am very satisfied with their service.

Pick-up was early and I had no choice about it, as they require a 2-day window. So I slept in an empty apt on an air mattress for 2 days. They are very shady about how they determine square footage. It's not based on what you have, but on the "markings on the truck walls". I ended up paying over 24k for a studio apt and only two large peices of furniture and a bike. I have the feeling it will never be what they tell you on the phone. As for delivery, I had no work from the my driver until 2 days before. The customer service insisted I call him directly on his cell, which he didn't answer the first day with no voicemail set up. They said their customers apprecaited it that way.. Wow.. On delivery day, he was 90 min late and didn't bother to call. He said he had a flat tire. He overcharged me for being over 75 ft from the truck, but never wrote it down on any paperwork so I'ma guessing that was his "cut". I was exhausted enough not to protest much. At least one thing they delivered wasn't mine, and another box (at least) is missing. They wait until the end for you to sign the inventory, so it's very rushed. My floor lamp, chest of drawers, and (only) two diing chairs are ruined. I'm still digging through to see what else is missing or broken. Not a good experience. I wish I'd done my homework. .

The salesman told me he would have my stuff to me the day I moved into my apartment in Texas. They picked up my things out of storage three days late and then held them in an LA warehouse for more than a month. The first driver they hired picked up the wrong trailer. So my stuff was delivered a week later. The driver didn't think he could drive his trailer into my place and I had to rent a UHaul truck. Under duress, he got me to pay him $300 extra for extra labor, and the deal was that he would have men with him who would help him unload. He did not. They lost a couch and a recliner of mine that I have not yet recovered and they broke a platform bed frame and a lamp. I wish I had done it all myself. This was a nighmare.

NOT RECOMMENDED.  I agree with other recent posts.  Customer service was terrible and you would get no answers regarding the status of you things or the move when calling.  Many things damaged, motorcycle not secured at all and with thousands of $ in damage, brokered out movers making many false statements, movers applying tape directly to our furniture, extra fees, no accountability, false representation as speedy movers never told us they use brokers, may conflicting statements from different people you talk to on the phone, the list goes on and on.  I have moved over 12 times in my adult life, and this was by far the worst move hands down.     We are going through the claims process, and they force you to use their chosen claim review company.  This company takes months to go through the paperwork you have painstakenly created, and gives you a one page pre-fabricated email.  It looks like they just plug your name into some template, and they don't address any of your specific concerns.  HAVE CAUTION.    I have many pictures and would be willing to talk to someone seriously considering using this company in order to give you a better understanding of our undesireable experience.

Horrible experience with speedy movers. Could never get the representative to call back after the deposit. The quote they gave was 1500 and by the time they delivered they demanded 3700. I dealt with 3 different people the representative, the mover and the delivery person. None of them had the city address right even after telling the representative to correct it and He assured me he had. I told them I couldn't have delivery for 2 days after pickup since I had to stay an extra day in Colorado. The driver started calling me threatening me the following day he would drop the load in Chicago if I didn't have someone there at the delivery location. When I tried to explain to him I told them ahead of time about the Friday delivery they had said no problem, he said he had to go he was busy and hung up. The quote should have included 3rd floor delivery. When they got to the condo they refused to carry the items unless I paid an extra $150. I was told by the movers I could write a check but at delivery I had to pay cash and they would give me my check back. The driver did not have my check upon arrival. He said I would have to call my bank and stop payment. That was an additional charge I had to pay the bank. I tried calling the 800 number to get help but no one ever answered the phone. The boxes arrived damaged. They threw my tv and computer monitor into large boxes without wrapping of any kind.

This is by far the most unprofessional company to work for. They will sell you on the move by giving you a low quote, smooth talking you (even lying and say they were Marines, or people of high respect). You will never talk to the salesperson again after confirming. You will talk to different people every time you call. Basically, long story short, the move took forever, they lost many items including irreplacable personal items, and even a loveseat. The moving was done through a third party mover who even said that Speedy Movers was by far the worst, most unorganized moving service they have worked with. I never recieved my loveseat or any other items. By the time you deal with this company you will be so exausted that you will not pusue legal action. I don't know how people who work with this company live with themselves.  Thanks a lot, Speedy Movers. .

This was the worst company I have ever dealt with and provided the worst moving experience I've ever had, and I have moved many times. I entrusted them with my furniture and unfortunately some treasured photos and letters. The salesman lied to me to get my business and had left or been fired by the time my stuff was supposed to be delivered. After making numerous calls and sending faxes and being on hold for hours, I was told that my furniture was on its way--nearly a month late. They gave the wrong trailer to the driver who had my account information, so my things were still back in California. When the delivery was finally made, the driver said he didn't want to drive his truck into my condo complex (there was plenty of room) and wouldn't deliver my belongings unless I paid him an extra $300 cash (I had been assured that delivery of furniture into my place was part of the contract). This company had lost a couch, a futon, a reclining chair, damaged lamps, and lost treasured photos going back to my childhood. The salesman had told me that his company had its own equipment, but it only has trailers and has to contract with god knows who to haul it with their tractors. The truck in which my stuff was delivered was in such disarray that the driver couldn't find where most of the stuff was. He was horrible and the company was horrible. And their offer to reimburse me for my thousands of dollars in losses (plus the furniture I had to rent because they were a month late)..$74. Don't ever use SPEEDY MOVERS. They are dishonest and disorganized.
