- he then told me that it was going to cost me more because it was going to take up more cubic feet in the truck than they had expected.

  Be careful scam!! will send you copy of all documents upon request.
  
  Emailed me three different "binding estimates" all with different charges per cut. The balance I agreed to was totally a lie. Driver loaded furniture and refused to unload and drove off after he wrote double the balance than agreed. Company would not return calls. I was then told if I want my stuff to be dropped off at pick up I have to pay $600. They charged me extra for fuel surcharge $97. They charged me $75 dollars for extra/split pick up or delivery that was also a lie. I sent them emails asking for correction and explanation of balance. They say they never received it. Received an email with a balance 3x the correct remaining balance from Yury. Very aggressive liars and they keep transferring my call to different people who knew nothing about the load that was picked up. 26 days later they sent me an email to have a different balance that was higher than the one they previously emailed me.
- Quote was completely inaccurate and once they moved me, they added "Extra" costs and the bill was almost doubled

  The Worst!
  
  Where to begin---the experience with this company was HORRIBLE! Please avoide them at all costs! Lack of follow up (I had to call again and again to get my stuff.) Quote was completely inaccurate and once they moved me, they added "Extra" costs and the bill was almost doubled Lack of professionalism on the phone and in person Please save yourself the pain.

  Why not to use Sunshine State Movers.
  
  Sunshine State Movers not only caused a burden to our Georgia out of state move, but they took priceless items that were never delivered: I flew to my destination to wait for them and they did not show up. They didn't respond to my phone calls and when they did, I was on my way back to the Georgia, where I was moving from. They were almost 30 days late while my wife and I slept on the floor waiting on their false promises. Customer service did not respond to phone calls. When we received our household items, they were damaged and some were lost. After our claim, they’re only reimbursing us $160.50, which will cover less than 10% of the damages and loses. Our antique piano was badly damaged to name a few. This alone will cost us one thousand dollars to fix. Moving to customer service; representative Tysh promised me to communicate and to help us through the tough times of moving, but as soon as the items were picked up, she never returned my phone calls or emails. I was being directed to different people at different times. We trusted this company and have lost money because of that trust, but most important the household items that they never delivered. They were family items…

  Very Bad Moving Company!!
  
  I spent months shopping around for a moving company and when I finally decided to go with Sunshine State Moving it was becasue they always followed up with me, their prices were lower and their promises to do an efficient job came up at every conversation we had. I first spoke to a Rodger who sent me the quote then spoke to Anthony who was handling my account going forward. A day before the move things started to change but it was too late to shop around for another moving company..I left several messages for Anthony to have the details of the move like time, details on when my boxes would be delivered well I just had questions any typical customer would have when doing a long distance move for the first time. To make a long story short..my things were picked up! I thought the crew was reliable and that they knew what they were doing they told me my goods would be safe. Upon delivery in NY which by the way was with another company..my goods were transferred from one moving company to another I started noticing some of my items were damaged, my dresser was broken, my table had scartches all over my screws were missing for my bed and some other furniture. One of straw chairs was…

  Don't pursue business with them!
  
  Fraudulent and misleading. I got a quote only for them to arrive at my doorstep late and quote DOUBLE the amount that was quoted, and then when I was shocked at this (later got movers that moved me for the actual quote) they charged me a $200 cancellation fee. They didn't even have necessary packing materials when they arrived and wanted me to go SOMEWHERE to go hunt them down. Now won't answer any of my phone calls/ emails, including a manager. Ridiculous!

  Stay Away From Them!
  
  In the beginning, before they picked up my property I paid them, they had called me very often The company promised delivery on 07/19/2015, but failed. They neither have delivered nor even communicated; I was unable to reach anybody within last week. I sent to them 3 messages by email, but did not receive any answer; also left numerous of voicemail messages, they neither pick up phone nor call back. It looks like they disappeared. I desperately looking for my property, and do not know how to recover it. In addition, they under-quoted me and ended up spending $2,000 more.
- they promised they would have it shipped to us. It has been several weeks now and no tool chest.

  The worst moving company.
  
  I used this company to move me from Ga to Va, they broke quite a few pieces, like my couch legs, the coffee table, glass tables and dressers. Offered me $160.00 for $3,000 worth of 1 1/12 year old furniture. They took apart everything and didn't put anything back together. I've never experienced such service and being military, moving is something we did often. Never against!

  Horrible Experience, DON'T USE THEM!
  
  Took a whole day to load all of my already packed things into the van, then charged double what the estimated the cost once everything was already loaded. They then told me that my things would be delivered no later than April 28th which gave them a full ten days to get everything to its destination, I drove to the same place in three, they did not actually deliver my items until seventeen days after it was picked up. They then tried to charge us a "late" payment fee because apparently we didn't have the type of money order they wanted, which was not specified at all. They also charged us another fee because they couldn't park close enough. I went into my storage unit after they had everything packed in there and the majority of my furniture is broken now, also boxes clearly marked "GLASS" had heavy items stacked on top of them. The whole experience was highly dissatisfying and I am disgusted that they charge so much for breaking my furniture. I HIGHLY recommend not using this company and not letting your friends us them either!

  Horrible dishonest company
  
  First too small a truck n only 2 movers / promised3-4. Quoted one price then doubled . It took a entire day past midnight to move our belonging to storage n days to move us in. Broke, scratched n destroyed over $2000 in furniture . Totally destroyed my brand new dinning table n guy who did wasn't even sorry just complained he needed help and didn't have any. Their insurance co. was going to give me a check $300 but the company stopped them saying they were going to pay me instead, however never heard from them again. Almost a year ago and still fighting for a measly $300 for $2000 damages. The company preys on their customers at their most vulnerable . Very very dishonest !
- they are only offering us $10.20 as settlement for the roughly $1600 worth of items lost.

  Go with another company if you can..
  
  I moved from FL to Michigan. The movers were courteous and prompt. My items arrived on time in Michigan, however very damaged. The movers that delivered my items broke a box that was labeled FRAGILE in front of me. However, with any long distance move items such as glassware, vases, and glasses can be expected to be damaged. I can handle those items being broke those are replaceable. Sunshine broke my Samsung flatscreen and a dresser. I filed a claim and I failed to realize my insurance was only for $.60 per lb. PLEASE PAY FOR EXTRA COVERAGE.. I settled for $66.72 on May 7 and as of today they have failed to pay me my $66.72. I paid $5k to move and they are making me beg for $66.72. I have called and left several messages for Yuri and no response. If a company can't pay out a lousy $66.72 settlement, don't use this company. The kicker is Yuri said I will try to get you more money, really I just want my settlement amount and call it a day. Movers beware stick to the well known moving companies, I chose this company for their cheap price and it cost me more at the end.

Long-distance move from Florida to Maryland

Great movers.

Sunshine state moving and it's crew did an excellent job for me period. From the packing of my items to loading the truck. I was impressed by the way They work. If you want a solid company the performs well sunshine state get's my vote.
i received more than 100 calls from movers and somehow chad stood out. They pretty much all have me teethe same sales approach, bashing each other and trying to place fear in me about using the other company. Chad took a different a approach and kept our phone conversations business and professional. some of these moving companies even place bad reviews on each other as a form or retribution for losing the job. Truly, if a moving company didn't havTate least some unhappy clients I wouldn't believe they were real.
Thanks chad for the honest no b.s. approach.

Rease.
