Anthony, Logan and Steve came to move my washer/dryer from stacked on the first floor to the basement. Y'all it was an adventure culminating in them taking the door off to get the stupid things out. I suspect most moving companies would have been like "nope" when its wasn't easy but they spent an hour problem solving to get the job done. They charged me the quoted price. Floored by the excellent service. Would def hire them again. read more

Mike is not a man of his word. We have used Anchor for many years and the current operation is a joke compared to earlier moves. They treated our furniture with disregard and we have a broken dining table. Mike said he'd get it fixed but we don't think that's possible. Wood glue for a dining table leg isn't acceptable. He refused to compensate. He is a gas lighter it's Mike's version and no one else's. Movers are hard workers, but Mike treats them terribly, blaming and name calling, garnishing their wages not giving them proper equipment, like they had no tools. We requested two trucks and he sends one. Buyers beware!​ read more

This was my first time using this company and I will not use them again. Maybe it is miscommunication or misconception of mine that furniture be wrapped and secured or that boxes marked glass fragile actually have the warning heeded. Nothing was wrapped or secured to and from the truck. They had one person hand carry my tv disregarding me saying I had the original box with padding to protect it. They broke two pieces of furniture due to negligence. They sent someone to "fix" one item as the other was just straight up trash after, I would like to say this is not a reflection on the person who came to repair it. They did what they could and it was more than I expected but it did include spray painting in my apartment and the fumes of everything used became too much and did no favors to my asthma. Having to keep my windows open in the winter to air the area out was not ideal. The floors of the stairwell were cleaned with my cloth couch on move day as they had to drag and pivot it to get it up the stairs. Not once has someone from the company reached out and at this point I hope they never do because I want nothing to do with them. I specifically inquired about the level of service prior to the move about my expectations for the day and was lied to. Also the pricing was not transparent as I was charged for packing services when I can say with 100% certainty not one blessed thing was packed or wrapped. read more

I just finished a move to a storage locker with Anchor. The guys, Carlos and Dominic, showed up on time, were respectful and smart about the move, and worked REALLY fast. The bill was actually a little less than expected and I thought it was very reasonable. This was the 3rd move in my family in the last decade. Mike, the owner, has been really great too. I recommend them without reservation. read more

I have used Anchor Moving twice now with great results. Their manager is responsive and knowledgeable. Prior to the move, they collaborate about your needs, the appropriate staffing level, and how their team can help. They walked through an inventory of delicate items over the phone and advised on how we could help prepare those for safe transit. They provide a quote over the phone. I found their rates to be reasonable. On moving day, their manager called before the appointment time to let me know that a team member was running late due to an unexpected transportation issue. They did show up a bit late, but shortly after that, the manager personally dropped by with yet another extra team member who stayed with us throughout the day to make sure our move was completed promptly. They didn't charge for the extra team member. The movers were courteous and diligent. They exercised extreme care when handling delicate items, taking the time to meticulously wrap our furniture and to place everything in its desired location. I would use them again without hesitation. read more

I have used Anchor several times over the last seven years for moving my disabled son to helping move heavy furniture in my home. Mike, the owner of the company, is very understanding and helpful with his knowledge of what size moving truck and how many men you need to get your move done. Anchors very reasonably priced, Mike weill let you know upfront on pricing for how many men and the size of truck, very reasonable. Today Logan, Jeff, Mike and (Dean who has been with the Anchor for 46 years) did an excellent job with my sons furniture. Lots of heavy furniture and electronics that need extra care. Excellent job guys. read more

Don't even quote this company. Stay away. The anchor in their name they mean it, they will drown you with non-compliance on their own promised services that are contracted and will only bring calamity, issues, and problems your way. The owner, "Mike" is the worst business owner and person to do business with. Beyond his ignorance and lack of education and values, sadly, he is also a person who is completely reckless and inappropriate with his business dealings. They will show up 2 hours late at pickup and even worse and more late for delivery. In my case, they were 6 hours late for delivery. 8 hours late total. He takes a deposit and then you pay at delivery. He promises a full package for your move, even a good hourly rate to make it sound like a good deal - everything including disassembly at pickup and assemble at delivery, more than X years of experience, and a complete script full of lies that makes you think this would be a good moving company. Is not. The staff is inappropriately vetted and comes to work, and drives your truck with your belongings under the influence: they have a heavy smell of alcohol and marihuana, and they certainly don't take care of your belongings. They don't come prepared with even a roll of tape or proper pads. They come with a couple of dollys and two screwdrivers if you are lucky, like I was. It's truly insane and a complete waste of money because, in the end, it is a headache and an aggravation for you. Mike makes sure to take your money and not honor his side of the deal and instructs his crew of thugs to do the worst job possible in the longest time, most disorganized and chaotic way, and most disgustingly and disrespectfully possible. They don't follow any kind of best practice or standard for a moving company, it's the worst decision you can make: moving with Anchor Moving. Don't let them sink you into a scam. This business and it's very particular one-star, is a dishonor to any one-star business and to the star system itself. read more

I got three bids to move within St. Louis county. Anchor was the most reasonable but dealing with the owner was a real plus. I didn't feel they were in any hidden charges. The guys that actually moved us out on one day and in on another day worked really, really hard and we're continuously professional, friendly and courteous. I felt very confident the entire time. Very happy- would use them again and recommend them to anyone read more

Bad company don't use them. Drivers show up high and got high again while driving the truck. Owner quoted us 3 guys only 2 show up. Items were broken during the move. The owner sent his repair guy out who said some things could not be fixed. The owner then said just let him try even though the repair man said they will look worse. I asked the owner for his insurance information and he laughed. Now he wont call me back. Don't use these guys. They have been on the news for stealing from customers. They break items and wont fix it and they will not honor the agreement they had. Such a joke of a company. read more

Wonderful service, timely, efficient and courteous. Pricing was spot on. They knew their job, and didn't waste a step. The kindness of the men reflected well on the company. read more

Bikes just thrown on dinning room table. Skip this joke of a company and go with someone else. read more

Anchor Moving - Movers Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

See all

THEY DIDN'T SHOW UP ON MOVING DAY!!!! They were supposed to arrive at 8 am, at 9 am I spoke to the owner who was rather curt and said his driver had a family emergency he was getting a new driver. I pressed for a timeline since I have people waiting for the mover at the house and he said within the hour. 2 hours later no truck has arrived, they do NOT answer the phone, multiple calls & messages ZERO returned calls. DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY!!!!!! read more

Anchor Moving moved my things when I bought a house. They were great! Careful with everything...friendly and polite. Definitely would recommend them to anyone and have. read more

Horrible experience. Only 2 of the 3 scheduled movers arrived on time. The lead mover was very professional but the second and eventual third mover were very slow and less professional. The truck was not packed correctly causing a second trip to be necessary. The truck was larger than the one we used to put our items in storage, but they couldn't fit all of our items on the truck. One of the movers smelled strongly of illegal drugs after the first pick up and caused damage to one of our items. In speaking with the owner/ manager, he verbally threatened us when we refused to pay in full until the repairs were completed. The repairs were scheduled and then the owner cancelled the work because we would not pay the balance until the work was completed. Do yourself a favor and never use these movers. They are slow and unprofessional and the owner is verbally abusive. read more

In hindsight, I should have estimated that we had more stuff than I thought we had, but the problem was we needed to give them an estimate of the number of boxes we'd have 3 weeks out from the move, when most of our stuff still hadn't been packed yet. We guessed way too low, so they were not able to get all of our boxes on the two trucks and we were left to move a bunch of that stuff ourselves, but that was our fault, not Anchor's. I wish that they could have sent someone out to our house to give us a better estimate up front, but they don't do it that way. That's the only knock I have against them. As for the stuff they DID move, they did a great job. We were quoted one 35' truck, and they arrived with two trucks (about 22' each) and three men. They were able to get ALL of our big stuff (furniture and other large junk) on the two trucks, and they did it in less time than I was expecting. They were also very friendly, professional, and respectful, and as far as I can tell, they didn't damage anything(!!). And they did all of this at about a THIRD of the price that we were quoted by Two Men and a Truck. So overall we were very pleased with their service and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good, local budget moving company. read more

Just wanted to let you know what an incredible job they did on my move on 8/30/19. The lead guy was very nice and professional, and the other two were very nice and professional. I would highly recommend this company for all your moving needs. read more

We booked Anchor to move us from one house to another. I booked them several weeks before we needed them to assure they were available, which they were. I went over exactly what they would be moving so they knew how many men and trucks to provide. The day of the move they showed up 45 minutes late and short a truck and a guy. After speaking with the owner, Mike, he told me it was out of his control that a guy didn't show up to work that day. That was just the beginning. The second truck and extra guy showed up 4 hours later. They have a policy of whomever takes apart a piece of furniture has to put it back together. Well they had one guy doing all of the furniture. I collected all the screws from each piece of furniture and marked each bag where they came from. They lost half the screws for our couch and used the wrong screws for my sons crib. They dropped our washing machine on its side while moving it in our house right in front of me. I contacted the owner a day after we moved to tell him the washer doesn't work. He sent out a repairman which determined the bearings shifted and the owner wouldn't pay to repair this. The movers also damaged several pieces of furniture and put a few dents in the walls in our new house. They also failed to remove all of our property from our old house so my husband, father and myself filled three big SUVs/minivans several times to clear our old house out. It took them over 3 weeks to fix our couch that they lost half the screws for. Do yourself a favor and look for another moving company. This company is not worth the time nor the stress. read more

Anchor Moving - Damage on my sons crib from screwing the wrong sized screw. - Movers Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

I've used Anchor Moving for a few moves as well as referred them to friends and family. I do recommend requesting James to assist with your move. He's a natural leader of the group and was extremely professional in handling my items. I'm grateful for how easy Anchor help make my transition into my new place. read more

The moving guys were great!! Tony, Marco, and Kevin were efficient, courteous, and accommodating. They showed up right on time. Moving is a stressful time for anyone and Tony took charge and made the move somewhat less stressful. Thanks guys. read more

The movers arrived on time. They were very helpful and courteous. Had contemplated doing the move with help from friends but ended up not being able to facilitate the move because of health restrictions. In hindsight I would have greatly underestimated the size of the truck I would need. The three gentlemen from Anchor Moving really hustled and were very professional and knowledgeable. They extracted a very heavy reclining couch from our basement that I would have thought impossible. They filled the truck made the move and unloaded in record time. I would hire them again for my next move. P. S. I used Anchor Moving years ago and was very happy with them at that time too. read more

I used Anchor Moving for my in-town move and they were great. Kendrick, George and Carlos were professional, kind, helpful and efficient. From the first signature to the last, it took three hours (I moved from a one-story with basement/garage into a ranch and they assembled bunk beds!) They moved quickly and we even coordinated a Goodwill drop in the middle. The price was super affordable. Would highly recommend! read more

Movers showed up right on time, quickly moved everything, very courteous people.

Well they were hour an late which threw all of my plans off for that day. The company did call and tell me they were sending a different crew that would be there an hour later. One guy spent 3 hour taking a bed apart the other two moved everything. Then because he tried to take shortcuts, they ended up breaking the bed! The guys seemed overworked and done for the day when they showed up. The company we used previously moved us in 3 hours, these guys took 6 and a half! I should have read the reviews like I normally do, but I went for their price, which ended up costing me more money and more time. Don't do it, find a better company! read more

Maybe it's because there was some snow on the ground, or maybe it's because they don't get as many jobs in winter and didn't need to rush our move, but I've never seen movers work so slowly. We ended up asking them to drop things at the front of the house so we could carry them to the proper rooms, just to get the thing done. We could have done it just as quickly if we'd called up a few friends. Part of my disappointment is probably due to how highly recommended this company was by friends who had used them - in any case, we didn't have the A team and it cost us. I thought hiring movers was supposed to make it LESS stressful. read more

Loved them so much! Daniel, Kendricks ands Lamar worked so hard and were so nice. I highly recommend!!!

I used this company on a recommendation from a friend. I had an in-town move. Only 2 of the 3 scheduled movers arrived. The movers seemed professional, but it would have gone a lot quicker with a 3rd mover. It took a lot longer than I had anticipated. And not to accuse, but I had $100 cash for their tip in my wallet in the morning and when it came time to pay it was gone. Thinking I had misplaced it on accident, I got another $100 for the tip. Days later and still no cash found...so this moving experience cost way more than I thought it was going to be. read more

The guys that moved us were awesome! 1 was late getting there 1 was on his first day but they all seemed to really care about our stuff and making sure our move was painless. read more

I have nothing but praise for this company and its employees. When I moved was I was dealing with several stressful areas in my life, just one being MOVING from a 2600 sq foot house to a 1400 ft sq house with 26 years of "stuff." The movers came on time and were courteous, kind and picked up on my anxiety immediately. They told me that they were there to make my day a stressless one and I could just sit back and not worry. And I could. The move went very smoothly and professionally. They had their challenges with some of the items (a baby grand piano, for one), but it all went forth without a hitch. There was one issue that I reported after the move, and it was fixed and paid for without hassle or question by Mike. The price per hour was reasonable and the quality of service was excellent. I would definitely recommend Anchor Moving. Jane G read more

You pay for what you get, we spent 1000+ dollars for an in town move. They did a very half ass job of putting the furniture together, our bed frame broke a week in because they left 6 screws out. I would recommend looking elsewhere. read more

A friend used Anchor to move two years ago, so I checked their rates and decided to hire two trucks with four movers. They arrived right on time, and were done loading my two story home in 3 hours. We drove to the new home and everything was unloaded in less than 2 hours. Fantastic job, NOTHING damaged. Five stars and a high recommendation! read more

I used Anchor Moving 2 times in the last 6 months. Once to move my Mom out of her home into a retirement community and for local move. I couldn't have been happier. Professional, courteous, and reasonably priced. read more

This company has some very good people, but like any service company, there are shortcomings - like communication with customers. They really try to work with everyone, but it takes them awhile since they are so busy and are juggling schedules. The team that moved me in July was exceptional. I would use them again and would recommend them to anyone. The furniture repair person is awesome! read more

After being deemed as not necessary by the owner to come and view what I actually had to move and then calling twice more with information about a riding mower and a gym piece of equipment, one would hope an appropriate sized truck and staff number would arrive on moving day. Not the case. Not only was the truck too small and not enough employees provided but the owner suddenly had selective memory of my phone call enquiries about my belongings and didn't have any extra trucks or staff available to help. That was until I ended up having to rent a uhaul truck and ask my neighbors and their children to help me move my items. Then all of a sudden there was a truck and extra men available.Not professional. I would have given zero stars but it wasn't an option. I can not recommend this company. read more

I had an excellent experience with Anchor Moving over the weekend. The movers were so professional and courteous. They were there on time, were patient with me, moved everything perfectly and carefully. They communicated with me throughout the time at both residences with any concerns or questions. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Polite, careful, professional and fast. Definitely would use again and recommend. read more
