    I'm going to start by saying, do NOT believe these "amazing 5 star reviews". Unless you have a 1 bedroom house, don't expect this to get done in one day, or even in the estimated time frame. We have a single story 1,400 sqft house and our moving distance was 12 miles away. The two guys who showed up were nice enough but they looked like they had just graduated high school. They brought no tools whatsoever. They moved SO incredibly slow that they only got 1 truck moved (a truck that was not even fully loaded, we still had 10 PACKED boxes in our old home and a bunk bed). The two guys did EVERYTHING as a two man team and used the power lift on the truck, even when I myself, a 120 lb woman started grabbing stuff off the truck to get it moved at a faster pace, along with my husband and a friend we had over. At one point my husband and our friend had to dismantle our fridge to get it in the space and the two guys just sat and watched for a good 25 mins. I would say the workers did less work than we did combined. We did not want to push them and ask them to go faster while they were loading in fear of them breaking our goods or damaging our home(s). As they left my husband spoke to them about how it was it was not acceptable that it took them 6 hours to move 1 truck, taking 4 1/2 hours just to LOAD it. I gave my two cents (and not too nicely either as I had expected our new house to be full) to the two guys. They said that moving a house is hard work and we just don't know how hard it is. Excuse me? We have moved 6 times in the past 8 years and we have NEVER had it go this slowly. Our boxes were stacked in the garage, not put in the proper rooms, our bed was not constructed after unloading, our TV was still in the entry way not in the living room, our children's things were not in the proper rooms (and yes I have photos of all of this). With us going into "overtime" due to how slowly these guys moved we just wanted them gone at this point as they were absolutely a set back and not the help that was supposed to make this experience less stressful on us. If they had moved at an acceptable pace we would not have hit overtime, and if we had we would have been on our second+ load and been happy to pay the overtime fee. To make matters worse my husband tried to contact the Owner. He listened to our complaint and said he was going to speak with his guys then began texting us and would not answer our phone calls until I asked him to please call us directly. He kept defending his guys saying they deserve to take breaks and they can talk while they're working (during the phone call). After lots of arguing the Owner starts to act as if he is on our side and tells us that our card has already been charged the full amount but he will refund us the amount of overtime. Then proceeds to tell us in a text if we leave a bad review he will charge the full amount (see attached photo and the number on the text is the same number listed for this business). This guy needs to be reported to the BBB and yelp. You can't threaten your customers you'll charge full price just because they decide to leave a bad review, and to text it so we have proof?? Why on earth would we leave a good review? My husband still has to rent another truck and take more time off work to finish the move that should have been done in this time frame. Giving us a discount is okay but does nothing to restore our faith in this business. I guess this is what you get when you go with the cheapest guy around. He promises a whole lot but doesn't deliver.

    My husband doing all the moving. So why did I pay someone $1,400 to send three teenagers to move me? We got scammed for sure!

    Excellent work! Highly recommend!!…read more A female family member recently had a medical emergency. She is elderly and a also recent cancer survivor. Prior to the recent emergency, she was living independently with a friend. The friend is a male and is also elderly. He is a bit of a hoarder and it is now no longer safe for her to be living with him there. Brian and Jacob with Moving with Grace helped us move her out of the hoarder house and into her own apartment at an assisted living facility. The friend knew we were coming with movers at 0830 to move the furniture out. We rang the doorbell and there was no answer. It was so quiet, I thought the house was empty. So, we enter the house and they guys get right to work. Shortly after they had started wrapping up the furniture, the friend, walks out of the bathroom in a night dress!! So weird and creepy considering he knew we were coming. And very mortifying. The house itself is very filthy and disgusting. There is thick dust and clumps of cat hair everywhere!! Brian and Jacob were both very polite and friendly and pretended it was not disgusting. They were professional and worked diligently despite the filth. They wrapped everything up nicely and got everything loaded up quite quickly. At the apartment, they unloaded everything quickly and then helped us to figure out how to place the furniture to get it all to fit! They did a great job and it is well deserved 5 stars!!

    We had a short move (Sacramento to Elk Grove, CA) and Moving with Grace handled our move. It was a…read morelocal move but we lots of furniture and boxes - Small, medium, large, wardrobe boxes. Most of it was already packed and ready to go because of our previous move. I would like to thank Moving with Grace for packing and boxing loose items, lamps, etc. and getting the job done. Justin and I used facetime so he could get an idea of the number of boxes, the stairway, etc. A very nice moving team. thanks again!

    This is my impression of Tbow…read more This moving company is next to useless. I contracted with them through Nathan Tooke, employed by Tbow, who assured me several times that within a week after Tbow packed my possessions that there would be a driver available to drive my stuff across country. He assured me the drive would take no more than a week. This would have put my possessions in N Carolina by June 3. I have a witness to several of these conversations. I asked to speak with Tooke's manager. Maria at Tbow said his name was 'Art.' I called for a week and left messages daily. Art never called me. So Tbow presents bad information, demonstrates no initiative to live up to its commitments, and the owner Art is totally unresponsive. I told Tooke that I would retain an attorney, and Tooke said he felt threatened because I indicated one of my legal recourse. Amazingly, when my attorney sent Tbow a letter, Tbow failed to respond -- totally unprofessional. Neither Tbow nor its partner, North American Van Lines, found a driver until long after the promised date of June 3. I wouldn't use Tbow for anything, and recommend that you avoid them as well as National American Van Lines. My furniture was finally delivered July 9 -- almost five weeks late. They offered me a discount for the late delivery, but I would have much preferred the timely delivery of my possessions.

    I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU USE THIS COMPANY FOR A MOVE. I will say I gave the owner ample time to try…read moreand make things right, and take accountability, but he did absolutely NOTHING, so I will share my full experience. This company was used for a move we needed to do for the military. The military reached out to us prior to the move to see if we wanted another company. I wish we would have done more research, and requested to go with someone else. Not only were many items broken/damaged, missing AND stolen, but the owner did not do anything about it. I called to discuss my first issue with someone in charge on a Thursday. I spoke with Marie. She told me that the owner Art was out, and he would give me a call back the next day (Friday). She got some information as to what was going on. She lacked any type of empathy or at least customer service skills for speaking with a customer with concerns of a move that they had done. Close to the end of their business day on Friday, I called back since no one had called me. I spoke with Marie again. She told me she had left him a message and he was busy on a job. She assured me he would call me back on Monday. The same thing happened on Monday, so I called again. Once again I spoke with Marie. She said she had given him the message, and he said he would call me tomorrow (Tuesday). She told me she did all she can do, and she gave him the message. On Tuesday Art did call. He asked me what had happened, and got the details. I explained to him that my controlled prescription medication was empty, and the bottle was placed in a box from another room. Basically they took the bottle of medication from our kitchen, emptied it, and wrapped the bottle in their wrap, and put in a box of lightbulbs from our daughter's vanity. Art said he wanted to speak with his son- his son was one of the packers on the job at our house. He would get back to me after speaking with him. Art called me the next day and explains that his son and him spoke with their associate who packed up our bathroom. He claims that the associate denied taking anything from our bathroom. I asked him about his questioning as to who was in our bathroom. NO ONE was allowed in the bathroom during the move. The room was closed off. He then backtracked and said that his son probably misunderstood. At that moment, I felt as if he was just telling me something to make me think he did something. He told me this associate was now basically 'let go'. I explained to him that at this point that really meant nothing to me. I do not think people who steal things should be packing up homes, but it also does not replace my missing items. I had now also found that a whole bottle of my dog's prescription pain medication was also missing. Since we just have moved out of state, I will have to visit another vet to get more medication. That's an office visit and medication cost. He then said he would call his vet to get the medication filled for me. NO reputable vet would do that. Art went off on a tangent on how no one is punished as children, so this is why they grow up to behave this way. He stated that he does background checks, and there is 'ONLY SO MUCH HE CAN DO'. He then said that he tells his guys 'these things aren't yours. You can't take things that don't belong to you'. SO he is telling me he knows that they steal. He never once apologized and took responsibility. He made it seem like it was my fault for leaving something like that out. (For the record, they were told not to go into that specific cabinet). Art said he would speak with his vet and give me a call back. Art put his office manager Julie on the phone to get more information on the medication stolen. She seemed annoyed to be speaking with me. Again, HORRIBLE customer service all around. I'd expect a company to show some understanding and empathy for a customer who had prescription medication stolen. I did not hear back from him, and that was over 2 weeks ago now. I was hoping he would call back with some type resolution, but he didn't even give me the courtesy of a call back. The invoice was over $7,000 for packing our household, and my husband tipped each packer before they left. We will file the claims for the missing items, broken items and damaged items. I truly hope that anyone considering this company no longer does.
