We've moved six times in the last twelve years (yes, really), so when I say Budget Movers and Haulers were the best, I truly mean it. From start to finish, they were quick, efficient, professional, and somehow still managed to be genuinely fun to be around--which is saying a lot during a move. They worked with care, stayed on task, and kept a positive attitude the entire time. The team was friendly, easygoing, and just awesome people to be around. For the first time in a long time, the moving process felt smooth and low-stress. If you're looking for movers who get the job done right and make the experience better than you'd expect, Budget Movers and Haulers are it. Highly recommend. read more

Movers never showed up at the appointed time. When I called, they said the truck was in the shop and they had no movers. All my boxes were on the sidewalk waiting for them to load and move. I prepaid and am still waiting for the return of my money, which they promised on the day they were a no-show. It's been 2 weeks. read more

DO NOT USE THEIR SERVICE! They will purposely take their time to accumulate your bill. They take constant brakes in between each item. They come unprepared and blame their boss. And they charge you the 30 minutes they use for a lunch break! read more

Very unsatisfied! Feel like I got ripped off! The team spent more time wrapping the furniture than actually moving the furniture and getting into place! When I placed a call into the owner, he said he was gonna call me back in an hour and well next day I had to call him! When we spoke, his response was have you ever moved anything? That's probably why you don't understand. Save your money & frustration and do not go with budget, movers and hauling! read more

This was my first time hiring a moving service and am happy I chose Budget. Calling and getting a quote was fast and simple as well as booking my appointment. However the day before moving, I did not get a call to confirm moving for the next day so I ended up calling myself to confirm. On the day of moving, movers were suppose to arrive at 9:30am but didn't show up until 40 minutes later. I did receive a call from the owner saying they were running behind and needed gas but 40 minutes is quite a long time. I'm giving 4 stars for the overall experience but would give 5 stars to the movers themselves. Both Anthony and Robert were excellent! Very nice, super helpful and careful with all my stuff. Their service was beyond expectation! read more

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY!!! Super unprofessional. Mike, the supposed owner, had a appointment with us scheduled on a Friday and called with some issue but eventually no showed. He rescheduled to move a piano for this Sunday. He shows up with a terrible cocky attitude and without a piano dolly then proceeds to try and up the price with on my mother-in-law. This guy should not own a business he's unreliable and terrible and he is incapable of taking responsibility for any error on his part and he is looking to take advantage of people. Be warned and do it use this company. We kicked him out of the house and he did not do the work. read more

My one star review for the moving co owner: The owner understaffed a 1bdrm apt move. The two guys that did the work, worked hard and were friendly and professional. No shame in their game. The owner told me he'd be there to do the move too, but did a quick walk through then left only 2 guys to do the job. I was pretty shocked, and so were my Folks. My Dad who ran construction crews his whole life said you've got to be kidding, where's the rest of this guy's crew? I had all my stuff packed labeled and ready to go. Its the most expensive move I've ever had! Utterly ridiculous. It was a 1 bdrm, 700 sq ft apt no major appliances, 1st floor apt. Moving 3 min away to another 1st floor 1bdrm apt It took 4:15 hrs with me moving stuff the whole time too! It cost me 961. This drained my bank account and I had to use my credit card to pay the rest. My family and friends said the owner took advantage of me and ripped me off, because he was more interested in drinking green beer on St Patrick's Day, while he inflated my bill. The movers that did the work, worked hard. Its not their fault the owner runs his business dirty and crooked. My best friend had different movers to move her 1500 sq ft home and it only cost them$1200. When I told her I paid 961. For a one bedroom apt she said that dude ripped you off. Hope you enjoyed the green beer that I paid for asshole. read more

Looking for the best, well look no further! Mike and his team are unbelievably professional, respectful, and diligent. Once they arrived the team went straight to work. Every piece of furniture was brought into the house with zero damages to the walls, flooring or furniture itself. I highly recommend them for future moving needs! read more

At the time they had a Groupon deal going. I called and asked if the would have availability for the next day, I was pleased to hear that they did and scheduled our time for 12. The next day I rented a uhaul and waited for my appointment. Fifteen minutes before the agreed upon time I get a text message saying they won't be able to be at my house for 2 1/2 hours. There was no way we would have been done before I had to return the truck so I canceled. I understand that some times things come up but to notify me fifteen minutes before? They knew well before then that they wouldn't be able to make it on time especially if they were 2 1/2 hours behind. That's not just running late it's bad business management. Because we were informed so last minute we didn't have time to contact anyone else and were forced to do it ourselves. In regards to the comment left by the owner, I can assure you I'm not being paid by another company. He's right, he didn't move me, had he read the review he would have realized that. He doesn't need to worry about other companies ruining his reputation, he's doing fine all by himself in that department. read more

Don't waste your budget!!! My mom is moving to AZ, was very specific on moving her piano from right inside her house to a moving pod 50ft, no steps, these guys first of all no-showed on Friday and left people who took time out of their day to help her move hanging, they rescheduled for Sunday then complained about having to be there on a weekend, showed up with an immediate disrespectful attitude/chip on his shoulder and very quickly started saying he's charging her more because of the size which she had sent pictures and was very specific on the job she was hiring them to do. The guy was so incredibly rude, do not waste your time!!! He was a hothead and left without doing the job and some very nice Clovis Firemen stepped up to help her out He didn't even have dollys to move the piano and asked us if we had some, booooo read more

They overcharged me 100 bucks back in May. Owner confirmed. Never refunded. They were 2 hours late also which i overlooked at the time. If i get my refund, i will revise. read more

Budget Moving & Hauling - Still no refund... - Movers Near Me - Clovis, California

Budget Moving and Hauling is a great and reliable company! I've actually used them on 3 different occasions and each time the movers have been professional, gracious and very careful with my items. They are clean cut, hard working guys and great at moving anything from boxes to furniture to glass items. They allow you to book jobs in advance and they follow up the day before to confirm the job and time. They always show up on time which is a huge plus. Anyone looking to pack or move things from their home, office, or storage should definitely call Budget Moving! They exceeded my expectations and I will certainly use them again! read more

Im still waiting for my items that were left on the truck & sent to someone elses storage facility returned back to me. I cant give a good review. My things were broken. My boxes were clearly labeled (china, breakable, or fragile) I didnt realize I had to watch and make sure every box was put onto the truck carefully one by one and take pictures to prove what the boxes said what they said. I would have just done everything by myself and save all that money. I might change my review when I get my stuff back and replaced. I dont have pictures of the other stuff. read more

Not the best movers out there. I have had other moving companies take better care of my items. The guys we're friendly but not professional and didn't pay attention to detail. read more

DO NOT USE THESE MOVERS!!! unless you don't care how your stuff is treated, then by all means, go for it! I purchased the Groupon, which seemed like a great deal, at first... I got scheduled right away, for the day I needed, so that was the easy part. the movers showed up on time, but took about a half an hour putting their shoes on and getting their "equipment" out of the truck. when they finally got started they realized they forgot their plastic wrap and blankets. I offered the humongous roll of bubble wrap I had, but they refused, said they'd be careful. long story short...they weren't. they didn't make a call to the office about it, they just continued their job, very very VERY slowly. granted I lived in an upstairs apartment, but it took them over two hours to move my "big furniture" (which didn't include any appliances...and I lived in an apartment...my "big furniture" isn't "big" or in over abundance). but you would've guessed that I was moving an entire mansion. and you could tell they didn't want to be there... one of them would disappear for awhile, leaving the little guy running up and down the stairs, over working himself, grabbing things that were too big for one person. not handling anything with very much care. low and behold, they ended up going over time before they were halfway done. so I had to have them leave all of the boxes, and I had to end up scrambling to find another way to get the rest of my belongings moved. when we finally got to my new house (after they hopped a curb or two on the drive there...which was only about 3 miles). they started the unload, I got instructions on where I wanted everything. the house as empty so it was quick and painless... when I got the final total I was told I could only pay with cash...which should've been a red flag in itself. so I had to scramble to get someone to run an atm for me. I asked to have a receipt emailed to me immediately. I have a home based business, so for business purposes I need one. the email never came, of course. it was getting late, so by the time the movers left there wasn't much time to unpack anything that night. the next day we awoke and started unpacking. I noticed some rather large gashes in the top of my work table... but figure it was just the one thing, it wasn't THAT big of a deal. we took about two weeks to really start noticing the rest. I work 12 hour shifts and was on a seven day stretch, and had a family member in the hospital, so I was keeping busy, but my roommate kept telling me to look at the couch, it had some big scratches in the leather. we had another couch, so I told her not to sit on it until I had a chance to check it out. when I looked at it my stomach turned. my beautiful leather couch was wrecked! it's a sectional and only one of the sections was damaged. front and back. ripped in the back and snagged all the way down the front. I had also started to notice my bed felt like it had sunk in the middle. noticed a lot of the cover on the box spring was ripped. I finally pulled the mattress off and my expensive tempurpedic box spring was falling apart. had damage from being dropped on one end and all of the support boards were separate and broken. I called the phone number listed to speak with an owner. told him all of the damage. he seemed like he really wanted to work with me. seemed legitimately concerned with the damage they'd caused. he informed me that one of the guys who had moved me had been terminated from the company and he'd check with the other guy and get back to me. so I took pictures of the damages and forwarded them to him. he asked me for my name and move date. immediately after receiving the pictures from me he started making excuses. saying it was caused by "normal wear and tear". came up with an excuse saying his movers told him my family unloaded the truck, so being that me and my family touched the stuff while the movers were there, then they were no longer liable for any damages. I informed him that he didn't have the right person... first of all...I'm disabled. I am unable to move anything myself, which is why I had to hire movers in the first place. second of all...I didn't have ANY family there the entire move. no one, except the movers touched anything. then he asked me for my name again....because he just for some reason couldn't remember, or go back in text messages to read them...so I have him my name again. and then he disappeared. I've tried calling multiple times. no answer. and tried text multiple times as well. I literally just sent another text, hoping he responds. anyway, this is my horrible experience with this company. I don't recommend them at all. ...did I mention shady movers, shady people? ugh. now I'm frustrated again read more

The WORST experience I have ever ever had. They were 4 hours late to their appointment with me. The guy Ray that I was dealing with would not answer my phone call and kept ignoring me. Then my friend with a different area code called him and he finally answered and said he would be at my house in 30 minutes and he wasn't there. They gave me a discount then two hours they left they decided to call me and tell me I screwed them money. They counted the cash in front of me and everything was perfect, plus I even tipped them to be nice (even though they were 4 hours late). One guy basically moved me while the other one just stood around talking to my dad. He then called me and threatened me and told me that he knows where I live and that he will come get his money. I filed a police report to protect myself. I would NEVER recommend this awful company. So disrespectful and unprofessional. read more

If I could give them zero I would. I have to say this was the worst experience ever. I never write reviews but felt like this one needed to be done. First scheduled my move 2 weeks in advance. Appointment was scheduled for 1:00 pm. Got phone call at 1115 saying they were running late, would be there at 2:00. 2pm came and they called and said they would be there in a hour. About 40 mins later I called just to get an eta and they said we are 15 mins away. 50 mins later they pulled up. We got things loaded then went to new house. Unloaded and then the owner told my boyfriend that he forgot the screws to my bed at his house. Now why are the screws to my bed even at his house? The owner Mike said he would be back never came back. I texted him because I needed somewhere to sleep. Said he would be here at 830 in the am. Didn't show up till almost 10. Very disrespectful my time is important too. read more

Guys showed up on time. Quickly moved my items to the truck. Wrapped the furniture and electronics in blankets and cellphone wrap. Unloaded quickly and professionally. I'd use them again if I ever need to! read more

I was scheduled a 8:30 AM move today January 13, 2018. I called on Thursday the day before the move to confirm; no answer, left a message. Saturday the day of the schedule move I called at 8:40, after they failed to arrive at 8:30. I waited until 9:00 AM and called for a second time, no answer. After 9:15 I received a text stating "sorry we will not be able to move you today ,I've got pneumonia and have been admitted to the hospital" . Now you all know that if you're that sick, you knew you were going down a couple of days ahead of time that your body was not up to part. I don't know what to say about these movers, please do not use them. Totally unprofessional. Who text the person that they are not able to make it , on the day of the schedule move; I guess they do. Lack of professionalism. read more

Mike and his guys are fantastic! They helped me move last Saturday and we're very safe with my furniture and protective of it. They were professional, efficient and got me finished right at four hours! They even helped put some furniture back together including an incredibly complicated bed that I bought and I would've been in such a mess had they not come through for me and gave me a hand with it (thank God I found the legs to it)! I can't recommend Mike and his team enough! Thanks so much! read more

I made a great choice ! Professional and funny guys! Got my move done with no problems and I'm a very happy person... thanks !

These guys are the best. Came in and discussed if I wanted flat rate or by the hour. I took the flat rate which saved me lots. They packed the truck full and we were off to Coalinga. They were able to bring everything in and put it just were i wanted it. Including a 8ft entertainment center. I definitely will be calling them again. Thanks for every thing. read more

Budget Moving & Hauling - Full service putting the refrigerator back together after getting it through the very small door. - Movers Near Me - Clovis, California

I'd give zero stars if I could. Scheduled a date, they never called to confirm the day before as he stated he would. When I attempted to reach out, the phone went straight to voicemail. Obviously they never showed up. Terrible customer service, don't waste your time. Go with someone more reputable. read more

Worst place for moving services. I called on monday May 25, 2020 at 1:10 pm to confirm for friday May 29, 2020 at 4 pm. Friday came by and i had to hurry from the bay to clovis, just to find out whoever answer the phone that monday did not record my moving date for friday and i called to confirm it and not answer and later when this guy answer he was blaming me for not getting the guy name when it is not me. I am customer and he was blaming me for that so whoever needs to move from a place please do not go for this business. read more

We hired these guys and they were ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!! They broke nothing and were very respective and efficient with our property and time!!! We have some furniture made of logs that is very, very large and heavy and still they never once complained or scratched anything!! I never thought moving could be so simple!! read more

I honestly think these guys are trying their hardest to do a good job. They are a small local company and want to do right by their customers. We started off having a rough experience. Moving day didn't go as planned and a lot of stuff got left behind at the other house. I had to leave for work in the middle of moving day and my husband had to handle our 8 month old baby and work with the movers for the rest of the day. When I got off work at 8:00 PM that night, I was disappointing to hear about my husband's experience after I left. Long story short, we were left trying to rent a moving truck to finish the move ourselves. Right before I booked the truck, the owners called to ask about my experience. They really took the time to listen to what went on (they weren't there during the move, their employees were). I explained what happened and where we were at with trying to finish the move ourselves. They wouldn't have that! Mike and his wife went out of their way to make sure everything was done properly! They both showed up with two other movers to help finish the move on my next day off! They even helped me take a load of boxes over to the storage unit! There were some bumps along the way, but I think they have great intentions and really want to do right by people! If something happens during your move, call the owners the next day and explain everything to them. Try to be calm and nice and understanding from their point of view. Give them a chance to redeem themselves! They really came through for me in the end, and that's all I can ask for! =) read more

Actually if there was an option to give these guys a MINUS 100 stars, that's what I would rate this EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL (? business?) OWNER named MIKE. We had SOOO MANY HORRIBLE ISSUES with our move that it's almost impossible to explain everything in the space allowed for this review, but I will report the highlights I hope will convince anyone reading this to CALL ANYBODY ELSE!!! #1. Mike has 2 different ads with 2 different phone numbers on Craigslist: one ad is listed as Affordable Moving with ph#559-776-1697, then there are several other ads listed as Budget Moving - Reliable Movers - Quality Movers - AAA+ Moving plus many more with ph#559-940-9471. When I called the first number, I was given a quote of $130. per hr for 3 men which included a 26' box truck and everything needed to complete our move should take 5-6 hrs. Then as I continued shopping by calling different ads, I was quoted $150. per hr for 2 men with 26' box truck and 7-8 hrs for our move based on sq ft of house. The next day our landlord called to say she was willing to help us get moved by paying for a mover she had contacted, which ended up being Mike. When his workers finally showed up later than scheduled, we were given a much higher quote for the job, which would've caused us to cancel their services on the spot. However our landlord agreed to pay the increased amount. From that point on, we were skeptical about this guy, so we randomly engaged the workers in conversations which finally revealed these questionable business practices of listing several ads under separate phone numbers and giving out differing quotes in order to make a customer believe they are getting a better deal. This is NOT the definition of an HONEST person, since he is basically running a scam on unknowing customers by making them believe they have received 2 separate quotes by competing businesses. #2. During the course of the 8 hrs it took them to complete our move there were only 2 men working 80% of the time with the 3rd guy standing around talking to my mother. But when the charges were added up at the end of the day, they charged for 3 men 100% of the time! #3. Several pieces of our furniture was broken, scratched & irreparably destroyed from just being thrown into the garage at our new house. Things were piled on top of each other to the point we had to completely move everything out onto the driveway just to get to the drawers of the dressers & desks they did actually bother to put inside the house. #4. When Mike originally quoted a total of $650. for our entire move, our landlord said she would be willing to split this cost with us. Then when we were told the job would cost much more, our landlord said she would pay anything over the $325. we had originally expected to pay. However, at the end of the job our landlord paid Mike's workers for the entire job by giving them $1275. in cash, which included a $100 bonus tip. However, to this day Mike continues to harass us for $325. which we DO NOT OWE. Furthermore he has come to our new house on several occasions and sent us numerous text messages & voicemail calls THREATENING US by saying, "I will get my money one way or another, and it won't be pretty because I know where you live." So we have filed a police report to protect ourselves if he tries to make good on the numerous THREATS AGAINST OUR FAMILY. I sincerely hope I have made it abundantly clear to anyone looking to hire a moving company - DO NOT CALL MIKE IF YOU CHERISH YOUR FAMILY'S SAFETY, NOT TO MENTION YOUR BELONGINGS!!! read more

Mike and his crew were great! We bought a bbq island from a store and needed assistance in getting it to our home. They were on it the next day and delivered it with ease. It was definitely bulky and heavy and they moved it with ease. They made sure they were careful and took their time. They also made sure exactly where I wanted it and didnt rush me. Overall it was a great experience. read more

Do not purchase the Groupon it is misrepresented it should be titled loaders not moving and hauling. I bought the Groupon for two hours of moving and Budget will only agree to three hours so you pay their regular hourly fee additional to the Groupon fee and if that is not enough they do not have a truck so you have to pay for a truck as well. Groupon will not refund the money. read more

Amazing!!! These guys worked really hard in the heat to get my house loaded up! It was no easy task let me tell you...very professional and they both had a great attitude. I would recommend these guys to anyone!!! read more

The moving crew works with efficiency, they don't waste time and move each item with care. Their hourly rate is a fair price because it includes the work of three men and the large moving truck. I was very pleased with their services. read more

We had a challenging move in that there was multiple parts to it and needed to get our stuff to the central coast which made for a very long day. The crew showed up on time, communicated very well, and handled our items with care. The overall cost was very reasonable given the multi-stop move. We have periodic needs for our business purposes, and I will be using Mike and his company in the future. Great job. read more

I found the experience working with Mike very good. He was responsive to my request for help. He follows the guide of the PUC, the organization that monitors the moving industry for California. I would recommend Mike and his team. read more

On time and professional. Moved heavy furniture up and down stairs fast and efficiently. Wrapped everything, were careful, and did not damage any of my furniture. Would highly recommend them and use again in the future. read more

Positive reviews on this company are fake and phony. They have different phone numbers and play games with you to get you for the most money. Take your eyes off of them for a few seconds and they will steal you stuff and then get mad that you are implying that they steal. This is a warning but be careful. Check the listed address it doesn't exist. An apartment complex!! Ha! Ha! read more

First of all, the movers Anthony & is friend were awesome, they really took care of me. They worked hard, were respectful with my things. I would highly recommend this company. The only improvement could have been to get a receipt from the owner and on top of that, he only wanted cash. I'm not sure how difficult it is to give a receipt for services rendered. I'm sure you have to have invoices on hand for business accounting purposes. read more

Anthony and Mike are amazing!! They moved my sister and did it such an excellent job!! They have such a positive and respectful attitude, work rediculously hard, and took extra care of her things. They kept the vibe so happy and positive while we were moving and we were all laughing and cracking jokes the whole time. We will definitely use them again!! read more

The movers themselves did a great job, they were a couple of guys who worked hard and did as instructed while respecting our items. The owner on the other hand, moved my moving time 2 hours ahead with a 20 minute warning, via text message. When speaking to him on the phone he was quite unprofessional. They only take cash, and DO NOT issue receipts. I asked the owner on multiple occasions to issue me a receipt, however he ignored my messages. Whatever legal obligations he is attempting to ignore, are not my problem, but I should have been issued a receipt upon request. I will NEVER EVER use this company again. If you do use them, make sure you DO NOT pay unless you receive your receipt. read more

Hate to be the person to write a bad review but I feel I have to. I made the mistake of going with what I thought was the cheaper route as I was quoted 300-400 for move however after it was all said and done I paid 700 for 5 hours of work in which that time there truck broke down twice and was stranded with all my belongings. They arrived 3 hours late in a beat up truck that barely ran. They basically shoved my furniture in the truck which ever way it would fit and as a result they damaged my brand new $800 kitchen table along with my brand new $400 tv stand. When I told them this they stated it was an easy fix. Yet didn't offer to fix it. Very disappointed. Wish I would of paid the extra money and went with a reputable company. Outside of that I do feel that they worked very hard it was well over 100 that day and they were definitely working hard. All in all I would not recommend for large move. read more

Do not use these movers!! I told the owner when I scheduled, that I was on a budget and could only afford two movers and the day of he brought three and charged me $35 an hour for nine hours for the extra guy they brought after I told him specifically I could only afford two. They ruined my daughters bookcase, they nicked all of mine and my sons black bedroom furniture and I just found out yesterday when I went to move a rug that they broke a leg off of my dining room table and it looks like someone just put it back where it was supposed to go to keep the table stable. To make matters worse they showed up over an hour late and then after I confirmed the address with the owner and a worker, they showed up almost 2 hours late to where my furniture was supposed to go saying they didn't have my address which was a complete lie. I used the Groupon to save some money, but for what he charged me was the most expensive anyone has ever even heard of and he charged me for all of his play around hours of pretending to not have my address. It's also very funny that one of them actually went home and changed his clothes first. I was so decent throughout the entire day - I gave them food, drinks and ice cream and I gave them a bunch of stuff that I was going to sell. The owner wanted to argue about the time that they showed up and then when I told him about my daughters bookies he only offered me $15. When I looked into them through the Better Business Bureau they have an awful rating. Do not use these people. read more
