I just got around to filing a complaint with the BBB & received a response from the California dept. of Consumer Affairs & Bureau of Household Goods. I attached an updated photo of the Bureau's email response; the Greek Movers don't even have a license to operate as a moving company in California. They are currently being investigated, and I'm in the process of taking them to civil court. This means that if they make a mistake, they ARE NOT REGULATED and can simply ghost you (like all of these other 1-star reviews say). There's no incentive for them to be accountable at all. I think they rely on the hope that nobody will go through the hassle of taking them to court for their mishaps. For your sake, please don't hire them. It's not worth the potential hassle and dealing with an illegitimate & unregulated company who doesn't care about your property. In the end, you might as well pay your friends to help you move. There'd be more accountability with them than with this company. I hope that taking Peter and the Greek Movers to court will be a significant step in helping others who had the same misfortune as I did. read more

Athena's Movers - Response from Wilson Luong of the Bureau of Household Goods & Services. - Movers Near Me - Redlands, California

We used YELP to acquire quotes for an office move. Within 5 minutes of inquiry, Peter from The Greek Mover's called me! Before hiring them, I received multiple quotes from other companies. Greek Movers are competitively priced, but their customer service went above & beyond. Our moving team consisted of two guys, Jacob & Ronan. They both worked diligently to get the job done. Both were kind, professional and helpful. From scheduling of the moving to placement of the last box, communication from corporate was on point, and the movers didn't miss a beat. I highly recommend them! read more

The moving is fast, and that's basically the only good thing. So my moving time window is 1pm to 5pm on that day, and they showed up at around 4:30pm, I'm ok with that because it's still in the time window. However, after moving, I found a big crack on my TV screen, and my massage gun was missing. So I called them, and they answered my phone fast, wrote down my name and phone number saying somebody would contact me and take care of it. However, I've called them like 10 times since then, and they replied me the same every time, just wrote down my phone number and name and somebody would take care of it. Now almost three weeks passed, nobody has contacted me, so I guess this might be their strategy when something breaks during the moving. I gave up for asking for the compensate, I don't even think there's anybody in their company taking care of this issue. Long story short, if you don't want your stuff break, don't choose this moving company. Spend a little bit more money on some other moving companies, at least they will keep your stuff in one piece. read more

They made moving as easy as it can be. Benny and Joe were life savers. They worked hard, were respectful and had a great attitude. They were very professional and friendly. I found Greek Movers on yelp and sent a message. They messaged and called me within 10mins to give me a quote. John was very nice on the phone and was willing to work with my needs. If I had to move again, this company would be my go to...and I'd definitely request Benny and Joe to be my movers. read more

I highly recommend this business. The owner Peter is amazing. Another place said that they couldn't move a new dresser upstairs that they just delivered and I paid extra for them to do so, so I called Greek Movers. I sent them pictures, video of my stairs and the dimensions of the dresser. They came out the next day and did the job with two men and it only took 10 minutes. Great service!!!! read more

Would highly recommend! They arrived on time, unhooked the appliances and easily moved them without damaging the items or the house. They were very friendly and communicated well from the scheduling and through the entire moving process. read more

Buddha, Chino, & Tyler came to our house on time, wrapped and padded all our furniture professionally and transported everything without a single scratch or scuff to the new house within their minimum time frame. These guys work hard, have great attitudes, and take care of all of your furniture as if it were their own. Not only did they work hard they were extremely friendly to everyone in our household and they fit in just like family. If we have to move again we'll be going with the Greeks. read more

Athena's Movers - They even moved our jacuzzi down a dirt hill with a steep incline. - Movers Near Me - Redlands, California

Hired these guys back in June to move my moms antique china cabinet and take some trash. They broke the original glass on the cabnet! Told me give him 2 weeks to get it repaired. I have called and messaged them with no response! We are now 12 weeks and still no china cabinet and no response! Very unprofessional! When he told me they broke the glass, I told him that was the original glass and has been in our family for over 50 years, he just laughed. All I want is either the cabnet or pay me for its value...no response. This is just making me sick! Would NEVER hire these guys again! read more

Great experience with Chino and David 3 hrs. Packed entire pod. Very happy. Communication was a little sketchy at times. But the guys were great read more

I used this company 2 weeks ago and am still finding things broken. I actually have more damaged items than not . Including large items like my couch , tv and dressers. Pictures the list goes in. When I confronted them I was told shit happens :( the one guy was very argumentative and disrespectful to myself and other family members. Who says that ? And to a customer who you just damaged or destroyed their personal items. I was shocked. I was offered a discount of $120.00. When the bill was well over 6 k. I ended up getting 300 off the bill but as anyone can imagine that is not even close to covering that kind of damage. And the attitude regarding it was just something I've never experienced so I had to share. read more

These guys were great! They came out to do an estimate, scheduled us promptly, and helped move my parents out of state with such ease. Benny and Chino were fantastic movers. So careful, helpful, and just a great team of guys. Peter helped the coordinate the entire move and help us be all at ease considering my parents are older and needed a lot of help with a heavy load of things. Would absolutely recommend them! If they could manage to help with our move so last minute, I'm sure they will be excellent at anything else. read more

When the move was done I had found a large area of damage to the stairs in my home, we had just installed flooring in our new home. When I contacted Peter (leadership of some kind) he was responsive at first but after time passed stopped responding all together. I have been trying to reach Peter for steps moving forward after he said he had a solution, but haven't heard back from him in a month. If I could I would give no stars. read more

Excellent team of young men who are friendly, efficient and honest. The Greek movers are very reasonable in cost and I highly recommend them for all your moving needs. Kevin and Mike worked as a team and they are super kind! And to say we live in a small town, Kevin's dad graduated with my husband! YHS Class of 76! read more

Peter came out to take a look. I showed him what was going 222 miles away. I had 4 quotes from movers. Peter was 2nd to lowest, I chose him because he did see what I had to move, along with my list. They called to let me know they were running behind. Not a problem with me, because my personal help bailed out on me; and I was behind packing one room. They more than made up for time. They loaded the truck up super fast. The truck was not large enough.....but my storage would not have been able to accommodate the stuff they left behind. So it all worked out. They loaded the storage fast and neatly. I left a 15% tip. Wish I could use them when I unload the storage.....but I'm too far. Glad it all worked out. Moving is stressful. read more

Greek Movers especially Peter is nothing but a bunch of guys pretending to be professional but aren't. I paid EXTRA to have my Mom's bed assembled, and the moment my 74 year old Mom laid down, the mattress fell through. And when I called Greek Movers especially Peter, he told me to F'*cal Off. read more

This was my second time using the Greek movers for a move. Both times they got me through my moves in an efficient manner. My contact, Peter, was very communicative open and honest with me regarding pricing, details of the day, scheduling etc. Day of --they had a few unexpected problems and while I was so overwhelmed the Greek movers kept moving along and made the whole thing very smooth. Their guys work really hard to keep organized, to ensure that your items are well wrapped, preserved, and not damaged in transit. My only note would be two out of the three movers were blaring music, and while I am a big supporter of putting music on to help the day go by, help keep your pace, they were completely conflicting genres of music and very loud which made things a little overwhelming for me. Again that might just be more of a "me" pet peeve. One last thing that I didn't note is that they left items that we had instructed them to take at the old location, and insured me when they arrived at the new location that everything was done. So I was left with taking a few heavy items by myself. I also color-coded each room with coinciding boxes/bags and quite a few boxes were miss placed in incorrect locations that's creating double work for myself. Super small- more inconvenient things. I wouldn't say this overall changed my opinion on them I would 1000% use them again! read more

The worse service imaginable, but a good sales pitch. A lot of my pieces of my furniture were broken and only some of the furniture was set up in the house, the rest left in the garage. I would never recommend this company to anyone! read more

I wanted to like this company and my experience, but I would never recommend them or use them again. The 2 young guys that came, showed up late but they did have positive attitudes and worked pretty hard. Their job was to help load our heavy/large items into our POD. When they showed up they said they could only take cash. My husband had to call me from my son's sporting event to go to the atm and bring the money by. They did not have plastic wrap at all. I asked them to use it and I could hear one guy asking the other if they had any. Then I contacted peter and he said they should have some and they know what furniture should be wrapped. I had to leave to go back to my kids' game and trusted they'd wrap items. Nope! They ripped a hole the middle of our queen size mattress. The queen mattress has black marks from them pushing it across the floor. Both my kids' mattresses have black dirty marks on them. The couches were also not wrapped. I got home toward the end of our service. As I did a walk around I found random screws and hardware that belonged to our beds in different rooms. They missed them and didn't put them in the bags when they disassembled. We unloaded the POD today. Spiders were found on the couch, which, if they were wrapped with plastic, could have been avoided. All the bed frames and parts were mixed up, so who knows how long it will take us to sort through this mess. I'm really disappointed with our experience. Our items should have been handled better, workers should have been on time, and items should have been organized for easy assembly. read more

These guys were great! They were quick to respond, very reasonable quote for my small job. They were able to get me scheduled and taken care of very quickly. A++ service read more

Greek movers did some junk removal for us. Great communication, prompt response time. Arranged a crew to assist us at the last minute when we needed help the most. Korie and Rafael were pleasant and professional. I am very impressed by their service and commitment to their clients. Definitely recommend this business and will use again in the future. read more

The actual moving crew was great. Super nice guys. Finished fast. Buuuuuuuuut, the administrative/ business end is no good. When I requested a quote I got phone calls and no estimate. I was verbally told the per hr price and the 3 hr minimum. The company sent me a bunch or unreliable emails and information. Took all day to get it scheduled and even that was up in the air. When the final bill came, there were two fees that were a surprise. And yes, I don't feel good about needing an hr of labor and paying for 3. I wish they had an alternative. Conclusion, great guys, bad administration of the business. read more

Greek Movers ruined our brand new home, causing thousands of dollars in damages. We hired Greek Movers to move our furniture into our new-build home. First, they arrived two hours late. We did the majority of the work for them by having all of our boxes in the front room of our house, all they had to do was move everything onto their truck, and then unload in the correct room in the new house. While delivering our furniture/boxes, they chipped our new front door, chipped our new staircase railings, lifted the new vinyl of the laundry room, and left our new walls filthy. Not only did they damage our new home, but they also left furniture in our old home that we had to go back and get ourselves. Upon discovering the damages, we texted the owner of Greek Movers, Peter, and he has been unresponsive. When he did finally respond, he gave us the incorrect phone number for their insurance company to file a claim. It has been over a week since this incident and we still haven't received a correct phone number. Hiring Greek Movers is the worst thing we could've done. We are so disappointed and heartbroken that our brand new home is now damaged. Please save your property and don't hire Greek Movers! read more

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY! I AM NOT ALONE, READ THE 1 STAR REVIEWS! *** we have called 3 times so far to get our complaints addressed and will continue to call near-hourly until we get a return call from the owner*** Worst experience I've ever had. We booked in April for our May move. I got a call asking to change my move date a few days prior which we couldn't do followed by a request to consolidate everything we could into boxes which we did since they would "just rent another truck" to move us since they had a truck going to Texas the same day. He was aware we had many abnormally shaped items like couches, outdoor furniture, a grill, and shop tools and stated at the time of booking that they could move that, as many professional movers I assume would. They show up and the lead mover says "oh we won't be able to move all of this" even though this is our agreed upon stuff and is nothing more than a standard amount of things for a family with two children and some power tools in a standard 4 bedroom home with a garage. BUT they stated they would be able to move them so we booked assuming they would do what they agreed: move our stuff from A to B. The lead mover (a 21 year old) who was in charge walked in and said "this all won't fit" and "sorry, my boss does this a lot. He should actually do walk throughs and see what needs to be moved and he would have seen this wasn't going to work". This was the DAY OF the move so there was no chance to book anyone else. He stated we would need another truck and it would be $2800+ more than what was originally agreed to AND we would have to go rent the truck ourselves AND we would have to drive it ourselves. I cried, I'll admit it. I had already worked so hard to "consolidate into boxes" as requested and now I would have to go through all of them to see what I actually had to have and what we could leave. They kept asking "oh we're taking that too?!" And it was a $1300 grill... of-F-ing-COURSE we are taking that! They were so proud of themselves that they were able to fit our kayak and was waiting for kudos having done so. That is when the truck was near "full" (even though there was plenty of space to be stacked to, they just didn't know how to actually pack correctly to make it work, maybe they should have actually disassembled everything like they said they would in the contract like my dining chairs they kept intact that got damaged). They were not really paying attention to the fact that we were leaving another 13 boxes, 5 of 8 chairs that matched my table, stools, outdoor furniture, the list goes on. They finally got all of our stuff up to our destination having left all of that. When we looked at nearly ALL of the things they "wrapped" they were all damaged in one way or another (see pictures). Not ONCE did the owner call me to make amends with how shitty they were or inexperienced or slow or how they honestly didn't seem like they were professional movers, just a bunch of 21 year olds doing an odd job. I had to fly down the next day and rent my own uhaul to get all of my meaningful stuff they left behind. It cost me another day of travel, another day not playing with my kids, and $750 in uhaul and gas. Just a disgusting experience that I will never go through again. After unpacking now I get to see that they lost half of the hardware to the things that were taken apart. Please don't hire these lying swindlers. They will quote cheaper than other companies but screw you hard in the end. read more

I used these guys to move into my house, and also move my office. I'm so glad I did! These guys work hard and take care of my furniture. They took apart my furniture and reassembled it at my new place. I'm so grateful for that! Who needs a boyfriend? Friendly and great energy, I will absolutely use them again! Thank you guys! read more

If I could leave less than one star this would be that time. WHAT A JOKE!! I made an appointment over a week early. The moving day comes and goes and not one explanation why they didn't show. Is this how to do business? Apparently this is how Greek Movers operates. If you don't want the business take your ad down. Cancel your number. Try to stop people from calling you! You don't deserve one star. Oh hi Peter thanks for responding. That's funny. We've tried calling four times. And not one person would return my calls. A little late on that one. Thank you Peter for contacting me and setting the record straight read more

These guys were GREAT!! It felt like they went out of their way to be the xtra careful with my things and in a very timely manner. I will use them again. read more

BUYER BEWARE, they canceled our move a week before our move date. During what is the most stressful time, a move into our 1st home they CANCELED A WEEK BEFORE. We had asked if boxes were provided with the move they said yes. When we asked for our boxes they brought about 15 out. When we asked for more peter called and canceled the entire appointment a week before the move because it was "to much work" I really do not understand how people like this stay in business. ___________________________________________________ In response to the reply. You gave us a military discount that your company advertises on your website. We offered to give you the deposit, today right before you canceled our move because it wasn't "cost effective" suddenly. You offered boxes as part of the move so we could pack our house. We made that very clear and you said "Not a problem" This was never non-negotiable this was simply a promise that you made as a part of the price. We even said, the moving boxes are not that big of a deal we can get some and you still canceled on us. you already had your mind made up. So dont lie in your reply and make it seem like we made a couple of boxes a big deal. You didn't communicate that the boxes are not something that you could accommodate. Next time just say that. Dont cancel a move on a couple buying there 1st home within a week of their move. I hope everyone reads this review because it really shows what kind of person you are and the company you represent. read more

The initial beginning of placing the order with Sarah and then being contacted when scheduled due to arrive time was good. After that point it went downhill. The two movers, Phillip and Joe were here for a period of 3 hours approximately to move a bed, a sofa, shelves and a few other items. They dropped furniture (seen done in the hallway), scraped dresser which has to be repaired, scraped the bed which cant be repaired, dinged another dresser. Another scrape on the new apartment door. They hit newly painted walls. Lost a carpet protector for the bed which they claimed wasn't there in the beginning which it was as the size is hard replace for the feet of the bed. These are supposed to be professionals, but our neighbors let us know that they overheard them seriously complaining about the work they had to do. There was a total of about 10 items. They also damaged the mattress by rolling it instead of carrying which damaged the internal springs. I was planning on offering water as a courtesy as it was a warm day, however, they asked for bottled water on numerous occasions which luckily we had since we were moving and have a few left in the house and continually asked for more bottled water at least every 1/2 hour (Professionals bring their own water). After having experienced the stress of seeing our furniture damaged and the door of our new apartment (which comes out of our deposit) we were asked to settle the bill whereupon they asked for a TIP? We originally planned a good tip, but after the inconsiderate and poor service and damage, we did not feel a tip was worthy. On top of the move and damage we have to pay to repair items. If asked if I would use their services in the future, - NO!! Be warned. read more

Beware of sticky fingers! I hired Greek Movers to move my furniture & things. Only to find out that my kitten went missing. She's an indoor cat who's never been outside since so many coyotes in the area. I figured she got out, but strange she was no where to be found. Today as I was cleaning, I found her collar, in corner floor...it was unsnapped so no way she would have taken off her own collar. I truly believe one of the movers (Maurice, Justin, Trent and Elijah) took my kitten. She's beige Siamese-Calico mix. Also missing is our gray hand truck (dolley). Peter (manager) offered no help. read more

Chino and Colby were great. They were hard workers and very professional. Would hire again!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! THEY DON'T EVEN DESERVE ONE STAR!!! Problem #1: UNRELIABLE The movers ran out of time and did not complete the move. They stated they'd return in the morning to finish the job, but they were a no-show (even though the owner assured us they were en route). This left us scrambling to find another moving company. Problem #2: CROOKS My parents (who are seniors) entrusted this company with their belongings, only to discover damaged furniture and a missing armoire. In addition, several small items have come up missing. Peter Kaffen (the owner), will not take our calls and sends us to a voicemail box that is full. Meanwhile, we have filed a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Save yourself the headache and find an honest and reliable company. This is not the one. read more

They did so much damage that we had everything picked up and taken to the dump. It would have cost more to have damaged things moved to the state we now live. Sent young people that were not trained properly. Thousands of dollars in loss. Extremely emotionally devastating. I would never use them again. read more

First off a huge shout out to Frankie and Maurice. They helped my mom move the day after Christmas on short notice from redlands to Beaumont. They were prompt and friendly. They called to give us a heads up when they were close. They greeted us with masks on, which was great because my mom is older and because of covid. They wrapped all of our furniture and safely moved a ton of fragile items. They got to the new house and unloaded everything quickly and safely. They even helped us by moving some heavy dressers that were in the garage. I would recommend Greek movers 100%! Their prices were great and just overall a great experience (considering moving is stressful). If you can ask for Frankie and Maurice they were the best! read more

Justin and Dwight were professional and did the job with ease. They were never assuming and I welcomed their questions. They have great chemistry and worked well together. Their partnership and may I add their friendship allowed them to handle various tasks apart easily. Their easy going manners reassured me that I didn't have to worry about anything. I would go with this company again and then request Justin and Dwight once again. Kudos to Greek Movers!! read more

The negative reviews are valid!!! Don't ignore them... Peter is completely unresponsive and will not reply to texts or answer your calls if you have any issues. Very unprofessional and honestly I feel scammed. We used them previously and it was great. Had two movers to move us from a 2 bd apt to another 2 bd apt and they were done in 3 hours total. Quick, easy and professional. So we decided to use them again. We were told get 3 movers so it will be even faster as they charge hourly. So we did. Kevin, Vince, Mike B Flash forward to moving day, they arrive 30 mins late, didn't even apologize. One mover would come and pick up a few boxes and casually stroll to the truck and then another would come after him. SLOWLY. They were on their phones, vaping and talking. The third hardly even made a trip. He stood in the truck on the phone. THREE hours later (to clear a 900 sq foot apartment) they take off for 1.5 hrs with our stuff and go on lunch. This is how valuables goes missing... very uncomfortable with this. We called the owner and expressed our concerns and of course nothing came of it. They took 3 hrs clear our 900 sq feet Apt. (2 bedrooms) and only 1.5 hrs at our 2000+ sq feet two story house (3 bedrooms) ..... that doesn't make sense. That goes to show how slowly they were going with the intention of racking up the time on the clock. At the end of the day, not only did they charge us for their leisure time, they over charged us $103. After many attempts to reach out to Peter, he's continued to ignore us and not help us with that. Wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Very disappointing. read more

I can't say enough good things about this moving company. The guys that moved my stuff were super polite, respectful, friendly, careful with my belongings, and got the job done quickly. Their prices are very good compared to other movers in the area as well. The only small complaint I have was that they were late. I had a start time slot scheduled between 10am-12pm and they didnt show up until around 2:30pm so they were not punctual. I personally was not rushing so it didn't bother me too much, but if you're on a tight schedule just know there is a possibility they might not be on time if they are running behind on a move scheduled before yours. With that being said, Dwight did call me to let me know they were going to be late at 10:51am and I appreciated that. I would definitely recommend this moving company to anyone looking for a job well done, and will use them again if I ever need to move. I will be recommending them to everyone I know that needs movers! read more

Good service and will use them again. Peter beat the competitor's price with same day service. Highly recommended.
