Shrink wrap roll

I previously used this company Jan. 2024 for unloading a move and I've referred others to their company as well based on that experience and they did not have a good experience. During my recent move, I decided to give them my repeat business. Huge mistake. You get what you pay for. They quoted $110 per hour plus $70 admin fee, minimum 2 hours. That was fine. However, when they showed up, they advised that they charge $15 per roll for shrink wrap. I was in agreement with using the shrink wrap and blankets but they advised they were not sure how many rolls they would use. Then it was changed to 3 rolls. I've used movers in the past and they have always included shrink wrap and blankets in their pricing. However, I've also seen how the shrink wrap is used and 3 rolls is grossly overestimated. I've included a picture of the shrink wrap roll for reference. After signing for them to start the job, a never ending agreement about the number of shrink wrap rolls they would use, and the clock already ticking, I agreed for them to move forward with the additional $45 scam. Instead, they went outside, spoke amongst themselves and someone on the phone and advised that they would not be completing the job and left. I called the primary phone number and spoke with the owner who advised me that I should have accepted the scam pricing from the beginning and then disconnected the phone call. Cancelling a job because you don't want to be called out for overcharging for shrink wrap that should be included in your job is ridiculous. Moving is stressful. To walk out on someone during a time like that is not someone that deserves your business. The bright side is that I had another moving company's card on my door. I contacted them and they were available in the late afternoon. They ended up coming a few hours earlier. The price included the shrink wrap and blankets. They completed a HUGE job in 2.5 hours. I paid more per hour and tipped the 3 movers well. The fact that Astros Moving Company attempted to ruin my day over $45 is ridiculous. They would have made much more than that in tips and repeat business. Edit as of 05/09/25. In response to the owner. I NEVER advised them that I did not have the money to pay the ridiculous $45 for three rolls that were clearly not going to be used. After agreeing to disagree, I actually advised them to move forward. They chose to walk away instead. Not only did I pay more than the $45 with the other moving company, I tipped them generously. In business, some things are about the principle, not the money.

My answer to Santos' privatemessage on Yelp.

I absolutely do not recommend this business. Do not be mislead by the slightly lower hourly rate. The movers work at sluggish pace and you will definitely pay more than hiring true professionals like three men movers or other honest companies. Santos, the scheduler, is unprofessional and disorganized. He thinks nothing of missing an appointment with the excuse that on his calendar he had a date other than what he actually agreed to over the phone. He gets defensive when customers ask for their money's worth as far as asking the movers to pick up the pace and stop wasting time while on the clock. The movers spend excessive time overwrapping pieces just to make the owner the most money. That is dishonest! The truck driver takes the longest, slowest route to the destination. But if you talk to Santos, he answers "no one else has complained before." But he lies if he opens his mouth. He speaks despectively of customers who reach out to him to address these issues. Even when customers hear him on the speaker talking to the movers, he won't apologize and carry on as if nothing. A bedroom set and a sofa took three hours and 20 minutes to load and unload due to the molasses-pace of the movers. Yet, Santos told the mover over loud speaker that the customer had been b!tching. He didn't address the issues because the movers did what they are trained to do. Obviously, Santos was pleased to make over $500 regardless of the time the movers wasted repeatedly answering personal calls, hanging around in the truck unnecessarily, and taking the long route to the destination.

Downtown, Fourth Ward

There were red flags I ignored and shouldn't have. We called twice and got two different rates…read morewithin the same day. 100/hr cash 120/hr card first rate we received, these rates hiked up to 135 cash 175 card. We did a video call so they can give an estimate, we never received an estimate. The movers came to pack move and unpack. They didn't know they were supposed to be packing/unpacking. I had to call and confirm instead of them. They left my front door wide open and never turned the gate back on so if I hadn't gone back for cleaning supplies my door would've been left open over night. When I told the only guy who spoke English he said "I wasn't the last one out" no apologies just a lazy answer. They never unpacked properly. I started unpacking the kitchen, so they had an idea of where things went. They didn't try, they just unpacked random stuff and threw it in places. Appliances were disassembled which could have easily been put together. My cake stand was in two thrown on the counter top with a box over the glass in an unsafe manner. They said they were scheduled to come back tomorrow and when I called to complain about how the place left they said the job was done and I should've said something before they left. I told them they should leave instead of waiting for me to return after picking up my daughter they told me had to pay. Which understood I'll pay for the day, but the packing job was not done. These are scammers. It's been a long time since I dealt with a business like this but this one beware.

Crew did not do as I asked to cover my chair when moving it. They seemed to complain and unhappy…read moreabout moving my items. Didn't appreciate the attitude

I cannot say enough good things about this company! we've used them several times over the years…read more Abner is the most professional, kindest hard working owner! they are fully insured, prompt, clean, respectful, attention to detail, etc. I wish I could give 1mm stars! Debbie Pakzaban And the best value and incredible employees!

I cannot reccomend this moving company enough. We just used ironback movers for a full service move…read morefrom Houston to San Fransisco. I interviewed about 6 moving companies and right away from talking with Abner I felt comfortable. Other moving companies were very persistent, trying to sell me, and seemed dishonest. Abner was very responsive and straight forward but did not contact me again after initial quote until I decided to go with him. He garunteed pick up date and arrival date (and time and was 10 minutes early each time!) which was huge for us as our move had to be very scheduled and other companies quoted us a 2 week interval (or more!) of when our items would be delivered. His crew in Houston arrived and packed our entire apartment, included disassembling basic items. They were extremely professional and efficient. Every item even valuable and breakable items arrived in perfect condition. He met us in San Fransisco 5 days later and him and two others unloaded all our boxes and assembled any dissassembled items. Again very professional and efficient. Iron back movers turned what could have been a very stressful move into 0 stress. Abner was extremely hardworking, professional, and easy to work with as was every member of his team. We hope we can use him for any future moves even though we are no longer in Houston!

Updated Review - June 2026…read more I am updating my previous five-star review from August 2025 because my experience on June 19, 2026 was dramatically different. As a widow and parent of a medically fragile daughter, I chose this company specifically because of the excellent service I received last year. This time, the crew worked for approximately five hours with no complaints. The lead driver performed a walkthrough, used my bathroom, and the team packed and loaded belongings without raising any concerns about the condition of the home. Everything changed when it came time to move our stacked washer and dryer unit (329 lbs). Suddenly, the lead driver claimed the apartment was so filthy it was making him sick and they could no longer continue. This was the first time any issue was mentioned. Two days prior, maintenance workers had been in the same apartment and specifically commented on how clean it was. I was left with furniture, beds, and belongings still in the old apartment while the crew stopped for about an hour before disappearing. I had to scramble to figure out what happened to my possessions. Since arriving at the new place, we have also discovered multiple damaged items (couch, end table, broken patio chair, etc.) that were not damaged prior to the move. This experience was incredibly stressful and disappointing. I have no problem leaving glowing feedback when a company performs well -- I did so previously. Unfortunately, this move fell far short of the professional service I expected and paid for. I would not recommend or use this company again. And they still charged me $825 for half a move. --------------- Previous review from August 2025: I cannot say enough nice things about Ethan, Patrick and Chrisean who helped me and my daughter move. We could NOT have done it without them. That's the truth. They were the nicest guys and so efficient. I just unpacked all the china they packed for me and I'm amazed at how quickly they were able to do that and with such care and precision. I will only ever use this company for my moving needs. That's the truth. Services Senior moving, Local moving, Moving-related packing, Oversized-item moving
