    I used this moving company on 11/18/18, the 2 guys who showed up were friendly enough. I had every intention of rating them well, hoping the owner would make good on returning the stolen property his employees took from me and overages that I was charged. Unfortunately neither concern has been resolved, and I'm forced to share this cautionary tale. I am extremely disappointed in the way this transaction has planned out. See notes and pics to substantiate my concerns: *Originally overcharged for mileage, challenged the movers on the spot, and they corrected the issue. Also overcharged for labor, which they would not correct. Provided exact mileage documentation to Hi Desert Moving Co. owners, Joe & Meagan, via email & proof of actual labor hours earned based on text messages from his employees upon arrival/departure at each location. --Spoke with owner Joe approximately 6 times out of the 10+ attempts to contact him. Each time we did actually speak, he acknowledged the invoicing errors, considering my detailed documentation of the transaction. He assured me he would reimburse the labor overage - which I have not yet received, six weeks after the fact (approx $180 owed to me). *My new Queen box spring was taken by his employee the day of the move. When I discovered the box spring had not been returned to my home as discussed, I reached out several times to find out where it was. After many attempts, I finally made contact with Joe, and he confirmed he did in fact still have the box spring in his moving truck. He apologized and assured me he would return it immediately. I had concerns with the storage and sanitation of the box spring after being out of my possession and in his truck for so long (at that point it had been 2+ weeks), so he offered to sanitize and return it right away. That was OVER SIX WEEKS AGO. At this point, the box spring has been STOLEN. I have basically begged to have this item returned, to no avail (see pics). I find it absolutely unacceptable, and consider it theft at this point, that this company can keep my belongings with no consequence. *Movers carelessly damaged the wall of the home I moved out of with a simple plastic edge of a box spring (see pics). The landlord charged me for this drywall damage, and the owner of Hi Desert Moving Co. conceded to reimburse me for this cost. I have yet to receive the reimbursement. I fully understand that my move took place a week before Thanksgiving and heading into a busy holiday season, but I find it absolutely unreasonable to allow 6+ weeks to go by without returning my property to me or reimbursing the monies owed. Really hope this is helpful and nobody else out there has to go through a similar experience. I love supporting small and local businesses, very bummed about this whole thing. Super disappointing, to say the least.

    This was the guy that Mark Anthony that moved all her furniture awesome awesome guy

    Abe and his Team are as Professional as it comes. I would refer them to anyone that I know that is…read moreready or even considering moving. They make it easy on you throughout the entire difficult process. Thank you again Abe, you are the best and I wish you and your team all the success. I hope I don't have to move again in the near future but if I do you will be the first person I contact.

    BEWARE‼ DO NOT USE THIS MOVNG COMPANY…read more I was in contact with Ibrahim, the owner. He sounds nice, but don't be fooled. He is far from honest. He sent two inexperienced workers to help move my furniture. I have expensive furniture they completely damaged due to their carelessness and negligence (see attached pictures). They also did not hook up my washer and dryer properly. The gas nozzle that connects to the dryer was not tightened and caused a gas leak. Leading me to call the fire department to help assist me considering I have a small baby in my household. The water pipes connecting to the washer were not properly tightened as well, as when I turned the water on to use my washer water was sprayed all over my wash room. To add even more insult to injury I expressed my concerns to Ibrahim about the lack of experience his workers had in removing my door off the hinges to which he said was an "easy job" but when it came time to install the door back in place they were not able to do so. In addition, they do not have their own moving truck. They rent from U-Haul (undisclosed at the time I booked their services). They charge for the truck rental and per hour. What was supposed to be a 3 to possibly 4 hour job turned into an absolute nightmare ending in a 9 hour job. The movers got to my house without any wrap for my furniture. I had to ask them to buy wrap. The wrap they purchased was the cheapest wrap providing no protection for my furniture. They also did not have enough moving blankets to protect my big items from getting damaged in transit. I was in contact with Ibrahim from the beginning. I expressed my concerns to him and he kept assuring me they would take care of moving my furniture safely. That never happened. The movers arrived at 2 pm and did not finish the job until close to midnight. After telling Ibrahim of all the damages he said he would pay to get them repaired. He lied. The next day I called numerous times, also texted and he never responded. Days later, he still hasn't responded. Please think twice before using them to help you move. Response to owner (considering I've been blocked from adding another comment): Christina, Ibrahim Dababneh goes by Abe and is your husband. I Zelle'd him the deposit for this move. He's also on social media reflecting his full name and company name (see attached pictures). I did not get the wrong company. It is obvious your company does not want to take responsibility for the damages. Raul was one of the movers he sent to me along with Aaron. Raul is also mentioned in some of the reviews on yelp. It doesn't surprise me that you would lie and act like you did not work with me. It is a shame that you would use God's name in your response. Shame on you and your company. The company does not live up to its name. I would also like a refund for the deposit of $125.00. Please google this company. They are also on U-Hauls website as a listed moving company. Beware of this company they are liars and unethical.
