Email confirmation that my apt was scheduled.
Beth L.

This company stood me up!!! They didn't even have the decency to call me. They ignored my calls, email and FB message is how you treat your customers?! On 12/8/20 I scheduled their services for today, 12/18/20. They gave me an ETA of between 10-2pm and said I'd get a call an hour before arrival. When I didn't get a call by 2:15 I started to worry why that was so I tried calling. No answer. I attempted to call a few more times. When no one answered and there's no option to leave a VM, I sent an email. No reply. Called again. Messaged through FB. It's after 6pm now and I still haven't heard a word. They have left me high and dry. When I was getting estimates from multiple companies, they sure were quick to reply to emails and leave me a couple messages wanting my business. Now they are no where to be seen or heard from.

This is the 2nd time I've used Paul and his crew! On time, fast, trustworthy, honest, Dan not say enough great things about these guys! The 1st time they saved me from the horrible moving company in Vegas now they just moved my entire house!l and I feel bad had way more than I thought and my beds are super heavy and had to take downstairs ! God forbid I EVER move again this is who I will definitely use! And the price is sooo reasonable !' Thanks again Paul and crew!!

If I could give this organization a zero star rating I would. And to the folks that rated it a 5 star your relatives most own the place. There are many issues with this outfit and I would agree with one of the previous posters comments about the lack of professional dress of the movers. They look like they were picked up right off the street. First impression was HORRIBLE. I've used 1st Choice movers in the past and I love that they had embroidered shirts and looked professional. Second, this was supposed to be a full service move. They talked with my pregnant wife and she told them they would be packing all our dishes everything. Well, they came to the house without ANY boxes. No dish pack. No wardrobe boxes. No tape. NOTHING but blankets and a truck. When we advised them of the issue the "team leader" (for lack of a better term) said "oh yeah, we've had this issue before". I ended up helping the movers even though that wasnt the plan at all, and they ended up packing our items in every suitcase and box they could find. Then, even though we outlined everything we had in our house, they didnt have enough room in their truck for our items. They had to leave the donation items back at the house and pick them up at a later time. The truck they came with appeared to be a rental from Budget and not their own which was another sign of their lack of professionalism. Finally, when they moved our items from Chandler to North Phoenix, they broke one picture frame, got black stains on our $1500 couch and brown stains on some of our clothes. My wife called the owner about the issues the next day and he responded promptly with a voicemail but after multiple attempts to reach him since that voicemail we have been unsuccessful. He gave the initial response as if he did care about the poor service but clearly he did not because he failed to follow up. Another issue is that we have not received a donation receipt indicating the items that were ultimately - hopefully - donated.

Their motto is "Trust Our Family To Move Yours!" Let me tell you I will not trust these guys to do anything for me ever again!!! They have a nice web site, and when I called them based on a buddy's recommendation the owner wanted me to go on the web site & fill out questionnaire to give me an estimate. It sounded fair enough. After the formalities were over he & I talked on the phone & he explained: he had one apartment move ahead of me and he would send a crew of three over & based on my apt. size & furniture pieces it should take between 2-3 hours. Up to this point everything seemed very professional, & I felt good about using these guys... Well moving day came & I had everything boxed up. I was expecting these guys @ noon. They did not show up till 5PM!!! There was a four man crew instead of three, & the kids working for this outfit are more like skateboard hooligans than professional movers (they horsed around & were full of wise cracks!!!!) Also I was told I'm to pay per guy not by the hour@ the end of the day not before getting started! (Not what I was quoted via internet, email, & phone!!!) I started moving all of the boxes outside so when they got there they would worry more about the big pieces inside & would just need to dolly the boxes in the truck! So when they started things were moving along well the first half hour! Then one of the guys asked me for water which I had a 24 pack in fridge & I obliged... Then another asked me if I could run to store & p/u some Gatorade, with hot summer months in Phoenix this was a reasonable request. I was gone for 15 minutes, and I swear to you these guys got nothing done during this duration! After this break the horseplay, wise cracking, complaining about how this was their third move for the day & how tiered they were, & generally bad attitude by one of these guys started! At first the crew leader told him to knock it off, but like a virus the general behavior grew. I called the owner, Paul Schmitt, & complained. I guess he called the culprit and ripped him a new one, because his attitude went from being a wise ass to very negative and don't give a crap about this job! Well 2 1/2 hours later we slammed the truck door shot & rolled down the street to my new place... The electricity was shot down & things the sun was going down fast... The kid with the wonderful attitude was trying to get the crew to dump my stuff on the street & leave. After talking to the owner Paul & the crew leader Adam they agreed to put everything down stairs in living room & kitchen, and come back the next day to complete job. By 9pm everything was cramped downstairs and I was told to pay them a $100 more than I was quoted for based on having the fourth man in the crew, after an argument I agreed since I needed these guys back to help move my stuff upstairs the next day! Well they said they be there @ noon tomorrow, & never showed up! I even left messages with no reply!!! Also after I got everything situated I discovered a glass top on my side table was never unloaded from their truck, which I never got back! I guess that was my other donation to Donation Movers, LLC!

The book case..... Black tape, really!!???!!!???

For the past decades I've lived in the Valley we've always used Two Men and A Truck when we move…read moreand they do a perfectly fine job. This month we needed someone to do a crosstown move for our son. Two Men's quote was extremely high so I researched a bit and found the stellar reviews of Just-In Time Moving. Since their quote was almost half the price (!) we decided to give them a try. You wonder if paying less means inferior service or other problems. That wasn't the case at all. Communication was great. Eric and Miguel showed up right on time (one of those dreadful 110° Phoenix heat advisory days) and worked quickly and carefully. We were very happy to have found this company and are pleased to say they'll be our local movers going forward.

I hired movers from this company who originally had a 2.0/5.0 rating. I had the worst experience. I…read morewas quoted $415 for a 2 bedroom with one bed, no dressers, the other room was used as an office. I was quoted a minimum of $415 which included 3 hours and a $40 surcharge. First, the owner never sent me a written quote. They were fast; however, one of the movers whose name was Miles, scared me by yelling to the top of his lungs out of frustration because he couldn't get the bed together because he had all of the screws tightened and anyone who puts together anything would know bit to tighten the screws all the way until those screws are in the correct holes and then you screw them in. I went in the room to give him that tip but was scared the entire time he was in my house due to his behavior. Then when they got done, the paperwork showed that I was being charged an extra hour of travel time when my move was less than 15 minutes apart and I was told that they needed to stop at Walmart to get T-shirts. I made the payment in full along with an additional $60 because I just believe in tipping and always have, besides the other guy was excellent. Great customer service and he was friendly the entire time. Any way, I went through the contract after they had left and noticed that there was nothing in the contract that stated that I would owe a 1 hour transportation fee now was I ever told this verbally. So, a day after the move, I sent the owner a message and he proceeded to go back and forth with me. However the most disturbing message was the one below verbatim: "I'm so sorry you're so broke that you can't pay the movers for a move that they did well for you. Send me your address. I'll bring you cash next week. I would love to meet you." This company is way to green and they need to learn some customer service skills before doing business with the public. I wouldn't recommend them at all.

So happy we went with B Line Movers for our move! We moved from a second floor apartment to a…read morehouse, and Bobby and his crew took a lot of stress off this move for us. His guys were polite, quick, and handled our items with care! They boxed our large TV, bagged out mattresses, and added extra protection to our dressers. We even had a few things that needed to go in the dumpster and they took care of that for us as well. The biggest thing was communication, Bobby was always available in case we had questions or needed details as this was our first time hiring movers. We treated our selves with a moving company so expected to pay a pretty penny but the price ended up being VERY reasonable for everything they offered. 10/10 would recommend!

Disgusting. Im glad I left this review to expose your vile behavior. That wasnt the original comment, he actually told me to go F myself. I should've taken a screenshot. VILE! Your performance speaks for itself, if you think this is a proper way to speak to your customers, youre clearly the weirdo! Ill be sure to share this on all platforms. Have a better day, Bobby!

In addition to their amazing services, I really love the company's mission, which made selecting John Volken Academy an easier decision. 100% worth the value! I highly recommend using John Volken Academy for your next move!

Short and sweet:…read more HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Great movers, great communicators, very accommodating, reasonably priced, and their mission is something to get behind!! The deets: Took me a minute to write this as I've been unpacking.. but couldn't keep my experience a secret because I want to see this business thrive!! I was probably one of the worst clients.. I called late to schedule, I asked to move our "move time" like 4 or more times.. my house was not as organized as I had hoped.. I almost forgot to tell them about a room until they were already almost half way done... ‍‍ never a frustrated peep coming out of them..instead they were nice, accommodating and super understanding. I'll spare the details for the changes.. moves are stressful enough, but they made it so easy!! The guys showed up right on time and even gave me a 15 minute courtesy call to let me know they were on their way! They move quick and when some embarrassing things happened (to me) they were kind and told me no need to apologize.. they were here to help me. Super reassuring considering the situation I was in! The weather wasn't the best and they protected my things.. wrapped dressers so the drawers didn't go flying.. put a moving blanket on the ground so things didn't get wet.. like I said, these movers were AWESOME! They help me set up my bedframe at my place and get things in quick.. even up flights of stairs! Was also super impressed they bring 3 guys to the job! I think that's what made it go so quick - great teamwork!! Was debating on whether to share: but it truly stands out on why you can TRUST this moving company: I had to dip out for an appointment and again.. SUPER accommodating! I'll spare the details.. but the point is, they will work with you! Don't know if they saw me as a problem child, but I wouldn't have known with how nice, efficient, and good at what they do!! The last thing I want to call out and another reason why you should definitely hire them: their mission!! I offered them something to drink.. energy drink??no ma'am, we don't drink that.. and shared how they came to be and what John Volken Ranch is doing for those that need help/guidance to thrive in the world. Teaches them hard work, team work, and how to live a clean/good life! I hired them because there are so many spammy companies out there and the reviews and the photos looked legit.. the cost helped too! What I didn't know was their mission and the difference they are making in these men's lives - it's AMAZING!! And if I can help get more people to use this company, then I'll feel like I've done some justice and hopefully reduced the pain I was for the move. Thanks guys! Wish I could remember their names (shaved blonde hair - ring leader and the MOST accommodating - thank you! Appreciate you telling me y'all's story.. Probably helped me from breaking down in tears; strawberry blonde, used to do tech/software - here if you have any questions! And the new guy.. didn't say much, but was super nice and a hard worker!) Appreciate yall!! And BEST OF LUCK!!

They then said that even if it was approved, I "wouldn't be reimbursed much, only like $60 dollars, based on the $/lb rate." Thanks, I already knew the reimbursement rates were pathetic, that's not the point. Your company value of "customer-focused solutions" is literally worth less than $60. Your movers broke our stuff, hid all the evidence, and did not inform us of any damage. The claims department then strings us along for months saying they "will make it right", and, "someone will be in contact to fix this", only to play hard to catch, deny it and say it will stay denied, and then tell me it's not a big deal. My fault for believing the verbiage on your website. I thought the "professional movers" would at least be honest enough to speak up when they broke something and I didn't need to babysit or record them every step of the way. Also my fault for not making them unload furniture from the fully loaded truck when they finished; so I could climb in and inspect underneath every protective cover for evidence of damage intentionally hidden by the movers. Completely my fault. Thank you for your understanding of my situation. Good job on pretending to be helpful while saving your company $60 and costing me an extra $600.

Pearson Moving - They damaged the trim

Pearson Moving

I haven't paid for mover in ages and found the search for quality movers overwhelming…read more Ages ago I used a large competitor that lied and stole my stuff, needless yo say I was less than enthusiastic about trusting another company. Regardless, I took to my local FB group and Pearson came highly recommended on multiple occasions. The two young men were beyond professional, courteous, aware, respectful, they communicated well and timely, I'd say that Pearson Movers customer service completely redeemed my faith in movers, but now I'm partial and bias to them. I can't say it's the cheapest company on the planet, but fair and transparent, so regardless of cost, it's worth every penny without hidden fees or tricks. I'd say I'm pretty satisfied and should I need to move anywhere again, will call Pearson again!!!

As a guy who just sold a business after 12 years, I'm not fond of giving negative reviews but I…read morewould be doing people a huge disservice if I didn't do all I could to make sure you do NOT use Pearson (aka Lucky Day) Moving and Storage. They had four movers come over (all nice enough people) but they broke several things, the most important being a Terra Cotta soldier I had purchased in Xi'an, China, made from the same clay as the world famous archeological find. They had wrapped it up, so I never saw the damage, but they assured me they would have it fixed and redeliver it to me. The person I've been dealing with, Brock, ultimately has chosen not to have it fixed and offered me $1000, which is 1/4th of what a replacement would cost, and the replacement probably would not come from the same clay. In the several months since the move, Brock's responses to my emails have been slower and slower to come to the point he no longer bothers to return my emails. I have asked him where the statue is now -- no response. I honestly don't know that it was actually damaged, perhaps they just stole it by telling me it was damaged hoping they could keep it for $1000. I'm not accusing them of that, but as I've been ghosted, the thought has crossed my mind. I have now had to retain a lawyer in hopes of getting my statue back, or getting a replacement. Other things were broken such as a handle to a new dresser drawer and a few small less significant things, but obviously the terra cotta soldier is my main concern. Breakage on a move is something that's going to happen. But when a company won't stand up to their mistakes and make things right, they're a company you want to steer clear of so you don't have the same experience. When it comes to moving, please do better research picking a company than I did.
