***DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY***
I had an extremely negative experience with Affordable Movers and would strongly caution anyone considering hiring this company.
I hired Affordable Movers for a local move on June 7, 2026, based on an estimate of approximately $2,070 for three movers, one truck, and seven hours of service, including furniture disassembly/reassembly and protective wrapping. Despite requesting a copy of my estimate multiple times before moving day, I was never provided one until after the move had already begun and my belongings were already being loaded onto the truck.
The problems started immediately. The movers arrived late, initially with only two movers and a smaller truck than expected. A third mover and second truck arrived later. The movers brought no tools to perform the furniture disassembly services included in the estimate, and many of my belongings were not wrapped or protected as promised. Aside from a few rubber bands placed on some items, there was little effort made to protect my furniture and household items.
As a result, many of my belongings sustained damage during the move. Two items were damaged beyond repair and can no longer be used. My daughter's vanity was completely destroyed during the loading process and was then placed behind other discarded items at my former residence, which appeared to be an attempt to prevent me from seeing the damage. Fortunately, I did discover it. Additionally, my dining sideboard was damaged to the point that it is no longer usable. Numerous other items and pieces of furniture also sustained various types of damage.
After loading all of my belongings and transporting them to my new residence, I was informed that payment would be required before unloading. When I requested to speak with a manager regarding my concerns about the services provided, staffing issues, missing equipment, damage to my belongings, and the charges being claimed, the movers left with all of my possessions still on their trucks.
What followed was one of the most stressful experiences I have ever had. I repeatedly contacted the company by phone and email requesting the amount due, payment instructions, and information about when my belongings would be returned. I was not provided with clear payment instructions despite multiple requests, and I was left without my furniture, work equipment, clothing, and personal belongings. I was literally sleeping on the floor in my new home because my belongings had not been delivered.
I ultimately had to involve law enforcement due to the situation. Throughout this process, the company has continued to claim that I signed agreements and authorized certain terms; however, I never signed any documents related to these claims.
In my opinion, this experience was deceptive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. The services promised did not match the services provided, my belongings were damaged, and the entire experience caused significant financial and emotional distress. I strongly encourage anyone considering this company to document everything, insist on receiving all estimates and agreements in writing before moving day, and proceed with extreme caution. read more
