    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

    We just had Athena's Movers help us out today in Crestline and have absolutely no complains(the…read morehighest compliment there is.) They gave me a call roughly an hour before they came so we could prep for them and didn't complain at all when they couldn't get their truck up our steep driveway(not their fault, it's a VERY steep driveway and a VERY big truck). They were quick, prompt, professional, and very friendly. They also were quick to adapt when there was a last minute change in where we were going to meet and were easy to communicate with both via yelp and phone. 10/10, would and will be using these guys again in the future and would recommend them to anyone looking for movers; especially up here on the mountain.

    I chose Athena's based on reviews. I've learned quite a few costly mistakes which I need to share…read more Knowing I have to close escrow and vacate my property by 8/15, I was assured by Peter (owner, senior level point of contact), not to worry. Based on reviews, I trusted. Initially, movers were to be there between 12:00pm and 12:30pm. Once they were late I called and was told that they got tied up on the move before mine and were running late. Ok. Things happen and that's reasonable. But was still assured not to worry. They eventually arrived at 8PM. Now I was worried. Towards the end of loading (which I and my son helped with, even though we were paying for it), I was told that they could hold my stuff overnight and deliver first thing in the morning since it was already 10:45PM. I knew I should've trusted my gut. All in all, I was quoted initially $1,000 and ended up paying just shy of $2,000 (including tips for the movers who were very good) Not vacating the property cost me another $500 because my escrow contract dictated a $500 penalty per day. Peter assured me not to worry. Two dining room chairs were broken by one of the movers. That's ok, these things happen especially during a household move. My calls and voicemails to Peter were never returned on how I can file a claim. Well, I guess I have to eat that cost as well. Lessons for others: 1) Don't accept or agree to an afternoon move. Try for a morning one. So in case you want your washer and dryer hooked up, fridges, etc. All these ancillary items will push back the afternoon appointments. 2) Understand the difference between binding and non-binding estimates. 3) Review the option for insurance and also consider third party insurance The good part about this were the actual movers. These guys all hustled. Carlos (seemed to be the supervisor of the other 3 guys) was awesome. Nothing but kudos to the guys that did the actual heavy lifting and moving.
