Broken heaps of Children's toys are and dining room decor dumped in huge ruined piles
Diane M.

Horrible, just horrible. We feel 'soul crushed' after what they did to our belongings. We hired them to help unpack our 5 bedroom home. They sent one person who claimed he was only there to pick up empty boxes. His manager told him to open and dump our stuff, get as many boxes as possible. We should have never agreed to let Johnson Storage and Moving into our home. The hasty mover dumped and broke most of children's belongings. Johnson Storage and Moving left our belongings in careless broken heaps all over the house. I was out with our 2 year old and after 2 hours my husband had to ask the crewman to leave. I came home to this.. I don't see any way to message you. Do you have an email ? I tried calling the company but a woman named Savanna says you don't exist and they will most likely not resolve what happened here. I left a detailed message with a 'GM' but have not had a return phone call.

We were given this moving company through the military. We've done overseas moves, moves on our own and this company is definitely at the bottom of our list. 1. They sent one guy and had to wait for 2 more. They started at 10:30AM, but DRAGGED. The 2 other people who arrived were a young man and his girlfriend, fiancé, wife... whatever she was. The older man was the father to the young man. Anyway, the older man was ok, but doing my bedroom on his own. The two young couple were doing one of my children's room and would not stop talking the whole time. We needed them done so the property manager could have her cleaning crew clean the apartment. These people were moving stuff still until like 9PM. I am heavily pregnant and got annoyed that I made my husband switch places with me (he was with our children out of the house). My husband was getting frustrated with how much they were dragging. 2. How they packed some stuff is UNACCEPTABLE. I hope they never have to trust someone with their most prized possessions and have them completely disgusting upon arrival. The first thing they packed that I was pretty upset about was how my wedge pillow for my HG and GERD (in pregnancy) was just thrown in a laundry basket with a DIRTY TOILET WAND. WHO DOES THAT?! I got it back covered in dirt on top of a dirty toilet wand. Great. I hope they enjoy their pillows covered in fecal matter. Two, I told them one of the children's big wooden, custom made toys was high valued & it was two pieces. They took care of the first piece but completely gave ZERO care about the second piece. Wasn't wrapped or anything, despite the fact that it was inventoried as high value. It was delivered with scratches and a knick. The toy isn't even a year old. The third thing. My holiday decor signs. One is a Fall sign that is white and they handled it with dirty, gross hands and got dirty hand prints all over. Fourth, they didn't take the shelf pegs out of our bookcase and now we're missing a peg. 3. Aside from all of that, we're missing items. We're missing an end table, a Graco Pack and Play, brooms, mop, the bookcase shelves. 4. The younger man was honestly kind of careless. He turned the stove on with packing paper on it. I'm just done. Im so done dealing with moving companies who give zero cares about people's household goods. The younger two people have a pretty poor work ethic, clearly shouldn't work together because they end up doing more talking than working, and obviously are careless with packing some items. I really hope the military stops using this company. This was the biggest headache of a move, but the first close distance move we did. Make it make sense. And get better workers.

A picture speaks a thousand words...

Extreeeemmmeelllyyy UNPROFESSIONAL This is our fifth time using movers and second cross country move. I have never in my life seen such unprofessional packing. They used less packing paper for our entire 4,500lb, 2,000 mile move than our last movers used to pack about five boxes. All of our items made it to San Diego fine from 3,000 miles away, but this company couldn't get even half of our furniture back east without significant damage to many of our belongings. It is essentially like I hired random people off the street and told them to dump drawers and push things off counters into boxes. It's not the money wasted and lost that is so terrible, it is the blatant disrespect for you and your belongings. It's opening a box to find a hand carved souvenir buried and crushed under 80lbs of books. As we unpacked we kept a running list of the results of their inexcusable behavior... - All desks and bookshelves damaged -Didn't plastic wrap most furniture. -Didn't use wardrobe boxes to hang clothes (broke hangers) -Used paper almost exclusively for dishes. -Things that weren't paper wrapped: appliances, picture frames, electronics -Ruined our art supplies to use as packing materials for a portable AC. -$300 headphones underneath 50lbs of weights in small box -1 bookshelf nearly broken in half (damaged beyond repair) - hard guitar case punctured by improperly packed lamp (broken) -Broke handmade table we told them was fragile (it's actually sturdier than most furniture but we wanted them to treat it right. Arrived with a broken leg.) -Disassembled $3000 dollar exercise equipment we told them cannot be disassembled (voids warranty). They put it on the truck whole and disassembled it out of sight -Packed foods and liquids (never seen that done) -Didn't number many items -Of three yoga mats, not one survived (folded and squished under heavy items) -Did not pack any plastic totes so almost all of them were crushed beyond recognition. -Picture frames all in one improper box with no paper, one destroyed, others scratched. This experience was so bad it convinced our friend moving from California to Texas to move herself. They may think they save money with this terrible behavior but that's one $4,000 referral they lost already. I wish I'd never allowed these people near my things and I certainly wouldn't have tipped them had I been aware what disrespect they have for their customers.

Here's half of my sectional being delivered. They lost the other half. What am I supposed to do with half of a couch?

WORST moving experience ever. I had to relocate for work from San Diego to Salt Lake City in January. My company paid for it, so it should have been stress-free. It was the exact opposite. The packing guys came and packed everything, then took inventory. If you ignorantly still choose Johnson for your moving... My suggestion is to actually notate EXACTLY what is in each box because they will not. They will only mark your furniture and the # of boxes they pack. ALSO notate ALL high value items because they will LOSE IT! I purchased a brand new 60 inch LED 4K TV right before getting the news I was moving, so the Johnson told me to keep it in the original box. I didn't even open it and it was a birthday gift to myself. When my belongings came to my new place almost 2 weeks later, the TV box was delivered WITH THE TV MISSING! How ridiculous is that?! It is obvious that one of the movers from Johnson saw an opportunity to steal it and off they went. I regret tipping those shady a holes. In addition to the missing TV, my wardrobe boxes with ALL OF MY SUITS was missing. Half of my sectional, my watches and wallets, my desktop computer + monitor, lamps, and two other boxes of clothes were also never located. Thankfully, I work for a great company that assisted me in this time of need. I would never recommend Johnson even to my worst enemy as they will make moving a living hell. It is evident they employ incompetent, shady people with no ethics in their business. Look at their reviews... save your time, your money, and your own soul and choose ANYONE else but JOHNSON.

Their reliability and ease of setting up the packing and move when I was not even able to be present and the timing was truly helpful. It was more expensive than I had ever paid for movers, even without the packing, and that's honestly why I could not give them full 5 stars. As a military member going through an honorable discharge to help my family in crisis while already injured myself, I had to empty out my own savings and my children's I had saved up over a 9-month deployment in the combat zone to move back to my family when they needed my help, not even sure if I could then provide for them. So while I really thank them for the job they did, I never financially recovered from that and I do ask Rock Movers to consider the vets or military members in San Diego and to complete a weight estimate for them to be reimbursed.

Peter was warm, welcoming, and professional from our very first consultation. He took the time to thoroughly explain everything, ensuring complete transparency throughout the process with no surprise fees. He was also incredibly patient and understanding regarding the moving situation we were dealing with, which helped ease a lot of our stress. We were especially grateful for the excellent availability--Peter was able to arrange a moving team for us on short notice. On moving day, the three movers who assisted us were polite, courteous, and respectful. They handled our belongings with care and took extra precautions when shrink-wrapping our furniture to ensure everything was properly protected during the move. Even in the truck, items were secured tight to ensure a safe travel to our destination Overall, the entire experience--from the initial consultation to the final box being moved--was smooth, professional, and pleasant. I highly recommend Packing Bees to anyone, especially first-time movers looking for a reliable company and a stress-free moving experience. Thank you to Peter, the moving team and Packing Bees for making our move such a positive one!

We didn't quite hit that, but at no point did it feel like anyone was wasting time. The crew hustled the entire job. They listened to how I wanted to prioritize the move. We focused on large furniture first, got all the key items handled, then worked through the rest. Communication was constant. They asked questions, followed direction, and adjusted quickly without any pushback. The team was professional the whole time. No hesitation, even with heavy items or sending things upstairs. Everything was wrapped appropriately, not overdone, just done right. Nothing was damaged, and they were careful with walls and flooring throughout. We had discussed heavier items and drive time ahead of time, and everything was handled fairly. No surprises. I also compared pricing beforehand, and their rate of $199/hour (cash) plus the $60 truck fee was in line with what I was seeing. We ended up at about 3 hours 45 minutes total and paid $825, which felt great for the level of effort and coordination involved. Every move is different, but there were no surprises. Vladimir, Dima, Greg, and Aibek were a great team. They worked hard, communicated well, and stayed professional throughout. Overall, a hardworking, professional crew that provides solid value and takes care of your belongings. I would definitely recommend them.

Booked 24/7 to do the work. They showed up on the scheduled day about 8:30 am and we did a walk thru, showing them what was going and what was not. moving from a 4 bdrm to a 2 bdrm takes some downsizing. They started right in, wrapping, filling boxes and moving them out to the truck. Taking apart the furniture that needed it and moving it out to the truck. They are definitely good at their job. It took them till 10:30 at night to get it all packed and stowed in the truck. They were prompt on delivery day too.

Our experience with Rapid Packout went from inconvenient to unacceptable very quickly…read more First, during pack-out, the crew left boxes and belongings scattered around the house, including items from an upstairs bathroom dumped on our bedroom floor instead of being properly packed and removed. The work was sloppy from the start and created more work for us, not less. Then Rapid Packout demanded payment before the pack-back was completed. Once they had been paid, the quality inevitably got even worse, since there was no longer any motivation to do good work. Figures. When the pack-back crew arrived, they actually asked whether putting the items back was their responsibility. That should tell you everything. Pack-back was literally part of the service we paid for. From there, they rushed through the job, put things wherever was convenient, left items sitting out on counters and tables, and did not complete the bathroom pack-back at all. The end result was so poor that we had to redo much of the work ourselves. Add broken items and the company's refusal to properly address reimbursement or refunds, and the pattern is pretty clear: careless work, terrible execution, and seemingly no concern whatsoever for whether the job was done properly once payment had been collected. For a company handling people's homes and personal belongings after a flood or fire, the standard should be far higher than this.
