For a local move I cant recommend anyone higher than Fordson Movers. They moved our two homes into…read moreone new home and were efficient, affordable and most of all respectful of our property's.

I'm a single senior citizen moving for the first time in 25 years, with no help. I explained all…read moreof this when I called Fordson, and they were super accommodating and friendly. Two guys showed up with a huge truck; took about 2 hours to load and drove the 60+ miles to my new home. I explained that I would have to leave before they finished, so I could drive back to Dearborn in the daylight (eyesight issues). That's when it all fell apart. I went back the next day to find plastic wrap strewn around the house, leaves all over the inside of the house, items left wrapped, a dirty bathroom and smoke smell. I contacted Fordson, and was told a slew of lies the worker told him; He said I told them not to enter the garage, FALSE. He said he couldn't find anywhere to dispose of the plastic wrap - THERE WAS A GARBAGE CAN IN THE DRIVEWAY NEXT TO THEIR TRUCK, I was told they aren't responsible for cleaning up after the job. I told Fordson I felt taken advantage of, being alone and older, and that his employee was lying. They made no accommodation and essentially blew me off once they were paid. My Advise: WATCH THEM EVERY MINUTE and make sure a man is around. They will lie and cheat and take advantage of a single woman. BEWARE.

We have a local move coming up so I used Yelp to check out moving companies and pick one with great…read morereviews. Patriot Moving Systems caught my attention so I called them to get more information. I talked with Dennis to get answers to my questions. He told me they are full service, meaning they will pack as well as move your household contents. You also have the option to do your own packing. One place I called pretty much only loads and moves your stuff so you have to do your own packing. Patriot sells boxes and packing materials but also suggested Home Depot or Lowe's but said he actually prefers and recommends getting these from U-Haul as he thinks theirs are better quality and sturdier. What I like is the way Dennis explained our options without overly promoting materials through Patriot. He also explained the rates for their services. Basically it is an hourly rate per person plus a trip charge and cost of the truck usage. He came out and walked through or house and then was able to give us a rough estimate of the number of hours we would likely need. We planned to use a staging company so we needed to pack some things to thin out certain areas like closets and kitchen countertops. So we arranged for Patriot to send out three people to box and move things into the garage for three hours and that was a big help. They were focused and hard working guys who went practically non-stop for the time scheduled. Whenever there was a question about packing certain items they asked about it. I could tell that they all knew what they were doing, their experience showed and they treated our things as if they were theirs. Delicate items were wrapped well for protection. Our move is currently on hold as we continue to pursue selling our home but Dennis checks in with me periodically to see how things are going. I will update this review once we actually complete our move but we know who we trust with packing and moving our property.

Another mover showed up and tried to gouge me and tell me my move would take twice as long and they…read morecould only move 2/3 of my stuff. Fired them on the spot, but still needed to move ASAP. Same day I called around and Patriot managed to help me out. Efficient, friendly, and hard-working. We beat the initial quoted time (before the gouging) by a good 30 minutes. I would call them again in an instant.

U-Haul Moving & Storage of New Center

U-Haul Moving & Storage of New Center

This is a place where dreams go to die. That's a hell of a sentence to start a Yelp review with,…read moreespecially one with a semi-positive three stars. I can't speak to how well this place handles truck rentals, the thing U-Haul is most known for. Hell, the term U-Haul is a common synonym for rental truck. Nope, never rented a truck from here, but I did have a storage unit in this former Nabisco factory in Detroit's New Center for three long years. It's a beautiful, imposing building and a definite landmark but is there ever a depressing feeling inside. Not really their fault. It's my personal feelings about having to have a storage unit combined with the vibes I caught off other people. Nobody really wants to have a storage unit but sometimes they're necessary, even if it's for three trips around the sun and U-Haul performs a valuable service here. Fortunately, my rent at home was very reasonable, which kind of took some of the sting out of being forced to rent a storage unit since my space there was very limited. Eventually I managed to downsize from a 5 x 10 to a 5 x 5 but by that point prices here had inflated to the point I was paying nearly as much as I was when I originally leased the 5 x 10! The elevator broke down a couple times here during my three years. Once I was able to use a backup elevator and the other time I just needed to wait a whole day to be able to bring stuff down from my unit. My buddy Aaron also had a unit here before I did and he got inconvenienced worse than that. My pass card was also very finicky when it came to swiping at the after hours entrance. It would work fine inside and in the elevator though which made the problems at the after hours entrance even more frustrating. I once saw someone sleeping in their storage unit here with the door pulled 3/4 of the way down and their legs sticking out. Like I said, it's pretty depressing here. If you don't swipe out they won't let you access your unit the next time you try to get in, which I figure is a way of putting a stop to this sort of thing but desperate times, I guess.... I never had any problems with the employees here. After I downsized my unit my dumb ass forgot to take the old key off my keychain and I ended up breaking that key off in the new padlock. Well, it set me back $50 but maintenance buzzsawed that lock off in a prompt fashion and supplied me with a new one. It was a horrible time last year when my mom died and I made the decision to move in with my elderly father. The only good thing I can honestly say came from that was being able to finally put the U-Haul storage unit chapter of my life behind me. My belongings were kept safe and sound for three years but I don't ever want to set foot in this building again.

Service. Money grabbing business where the left hand doesn't talk to right hand. They will charge…read moreyou for everything in pieces. Ie. Need a trailer. Ok. Oh you need to buy straps. Oh.
