    Wrapped and stacked

    I cannot say enough good things about iron back movers. Their team showed up and went right to work. They wrapped everything and took such good care of everything it was amazing. They took stuff from my house to my storage room. I had stuff in there already. They move stuff around. Wrapped stuff I already had to ensure nothing would get damaged. They will be my go to for anything else I need. Just amazing to work with.

    I tried using the Yelp bidding and availability feature for our move from Greenway to Woodlands. But I found it better to just do a search instead as the responses seemed all automated and not customized. We moved on a Saturday morning and the move time was 2:47 minutes including drive time. Rounded up to the nearest quarter hour (ah so close to 2:45) clocked us in at 3 hours even for a 2 bedroom apartment. The 3 man movers were fast and friendly. Ben and crew - FF3. FYI We had everything ready for them so I think that always helps. Destination was on 2nd floor but the truck was able to pull right in front of the stairwell so it was a straight shot up 1 flight of stairs. 1 roll of shrink wrap is included but we only used like a fraction of that. There's a $10 surcharge for weekend help on a 3 man crew which comes with 26 foot truck. Plus a flat $100 truck/fuel charge for the drive. Drive is supposedly based on GPS direct drive time ignoring traffic conditions so you're not penalized for accidents and traffic but for us I think because there were none on a Saturday morning so it was just straight time which worked well as they arrived to the destination not long after I did. As for the initial meet they came right in the middle of the 2 hour window that I was slotted for, and called me when they were headed over which was nice so I wasn't just waiting around. Abner is an owner operator and was responsive. Main reason why I picked him. It was a young crew. One looked like a teenager maybe. Very polite. Observant and considerate. They looked on the smaller side but I think that was good because they could lift and move quickly. Also they are the only ones I saw who takes credit card without surcharge. You can tip on the card but I did cash as I think these guys prefer that. The last movers I hired the first thing out of their mouth when they arrived was "I heard Mr W. is a big tipper". Real turn off. But these guys were anything but that. Very humble and soft spoken. Highly recommend them if you're in need of some help. Best decision ever because I'd be dead in this June heat.

    The Iron-Back moving crew that did our move from Houston to the Hill Country were top notch! Abner the owner was flexible on our scheduling when it came to a change we had to make concerning the weather. I thought it was a good value too! Abner was even available on the load up side and they went above and beyond. They wrapped up some things that needed the extra protection. Even used one of their own large boxes for some odds and ends that couldn't be boxed up. Hopefully all is well when we go to move out of storage as they packed it in there using space as they could so it would all fit. OH and be sure to tip your movers too! I forgot to at first and had to send the tip separately.

    I had a great experience with Iron-Back movers. I moved from Houston to New Orleans. The movers showed up in the promised time-frame window. They were very careful with all the items, wrapped everything that needed it with blankets and plastic wrap, and worked quickly to load up the truck. They arrived promptly to the new location. The unload went very smooth as well. None of my items were damaged. I was nervous about moving my glass display case, and it arrived in perfect condition. They put all the furniture in the appropriate rooms and rebuilt any items that needed it. I was so impressed and happy that it could all be done in one day. I was sleeping in my bed that night!! It went so fast that I didn't even take any pictures but I put a picture of the glass case for reference.

    There were red flags I ignored and shouldn't have. We called twice and got two different rates…read morewithin the same day. 100/hr cash 120/hr card first rate we received, these rates hiked up to 135 cash 175 card. We did a video call so they can give an estimate, we never received an estimate. The movers came to pack move and unpack. They didn't know they were supposed to be packing/unpacking. I had to call and confirm instead of them. They left my front door wide open and never turned the gate back on so if I hadn't gone back for cleaning supplies my door would've been left open over night. When I told the only guy who spoke English he said "I wasn't the last one out" no apologies just a lazy answer. They never unpacked properly. I started unpacking the kitchen, so they had an idea of where things went. They didn't try, they just unpacked random stuff and threw it in places. Appliances were disassembled which could have easily been put together. My cake stand was in two thrown on the counter top with a box over the glass in an unsafe manner. They said they were scheduled to come back tomorrow and when I called to complain about how the place left they said the job was done and I should've said something before they left. I told them they should leave instead of waiting for me to return after picking up my daughter they told me had to pay. Which understood I'll pay for the day, but the packing job was not done. These are scammers. It's been a long time since I dealt with a business like this but this one beware.

    The worst experience EVER. A simple local move turned into a nightmare. How does a mover lose sofa…read morecushions????? The company was useless when I begged them to ask the 3 men who moved me. No help. All I got for my custom cushions was $75. Just say No! Not worth one star!

    we got a quote right away and set the move up, thought there might be a better quote and it didn't…read morehappen. After canceling the initial move, we had no one for the move. I called at 2:00PM and they were here at 3:00 PM for the move. The man was so accommodating and very careful with all of the furniture, they wrapped everything and took it off after relocating it. They were efficient, professional, had all needed equipment for the move and listened to directions on the placement of the pieces. I have moved over 17 times in my life and this was the best experience of all. The men are respectful and friendly.

    To anyone considering Square Cow Movers: do yourself a favor and look elsewhere…read more I did my homework. I spoke with multiple moving companies. In the end, it was Square Cow's overly confident answering service that convinced me to go with them. Big mistake. I hired them to move a large bedroom set from a second-floor bedroom to the garage--something I clearly communicated was not a simple task. I had over four phone calls, sent multiple photos, and explicitly discussed the risks and challenges involved. Each time, I was told everything was "in the notes" and the movers would be properly equipped with straps and the right tools. I even spoke directly with the operations manager the day before the move. He reassured me--again--that his crew would be fully prepared. He even advised me not to purchase additional insurance, claiming it was an easy job and not worth the extra cost. Then moving day arrived. The crew showed up completely unprepared. No straps. No proper equipment. Within minutes, they dropped the first piece of furniture, severely damaging it. The rest of the move was borderline reckless. The crew themselves admitted that Square Cow doesn't provide them with tools or care about their safety--or the customers' belongings. According to them, "Square Cow only cares about making money." After my experience, I believe it. I filed a damage claim, and now I'm stuck in their slow, unresponsive process that may take up to 90 days to maybe--maybe--get a fraction of what the damage is worth. Bottom line: they talk a good game on the phone, but they have zero follow-through. The left hand has no clue what the right is doing, and they clearly don't equip their crews to do the job safely or professionally. Their so-called claims department is a joke. Don't fall for the sales pitch. There are better, more honest companies out there. Square Cow Movers is not one of them.
