Upon my husband getting a new job we needed to hire movers to take our entire life 6.5 hours away. Meant2Be was fantastic. They were responsive and quick - and picked up belongings from my husbands aunts house ahead of time, stored them for us, then brought them when they came to our apartment. They loaded the truck with everything in 2.5-3 hours. Literally no issues or concerns. The next day we headed to NY and they got there the same time we did. They were done unloading quickly - maybe four hours? And they were super friendly. When we realized later that they missed an item that they stored they made plans to take a trip, 6.5 hours away, to deliver it relatively quickly. They were very affordable too. We can't recommend them enough! read more

Due to the chaotic conditions when the Covid pandemic first came out, I wound up moving twice in a span of five months, first temporarily into an apartment, and then into a permanent home. The first move went flawlessly. Their crew was clearly experienced and efficient. The second move resulted in some cosmetic damage to some furniture. To their great credit as professionals, Susan and Steve, the owners of Meant2BMovers, offered to repair the damage and, when their usual restorer was unable to take care of the matter, they came over themselves and did a fine job. Good movers who are good on follow through. read more

Very disappointed by their services. Out of the three moves I had over the past four years, this company was unreliable and unprofessional. I will never use this company again and will let all of my friends and family know how they were deceptive and unreasonable. Please choose a different company that will actually stay true to their word. read more

Very positive experience from start to finish. I called a few days before we needed to move in a panic and they were able to accommodate us. The price was fair and the staff were incredibly friendly and easy to work with. I would definitely use them again! read more

They had to go to two locations for us because we had a storage unit as well as our apartment we were moving out of. The three gentlemen that came were not only friendly but efficient. They took care of our things like it was theirs making sure it was wrapped properly and didn't touch the ground of the truck. Highly recommend!!!!!! read more

I had such a great experience with this company! The movers were courteous, professional, and did a great job. Would highly recommend this company. read more

May 2018- Their experienced moving crew Damaged my ceiling by putting a hole in it with my grandmother's antique dresser. The dresser also bears a paint mark from the damage. They Didn't wrap the weights to my antique grandfather clock and transported them in an open box; rendering them damaged. Drivers made off with the key to the clock leaving the grandfather clock locked and not set up. So much for paying extra for their "experienced crew" to service the I got my key back 8 days later. Don't trust them with your belongings. January 2019--Update: After several complaints to the company and eventually the better business bureau; the new office manager contacted me and told me the owners wanted to come out and "make it right". I did my best to make them welcome in my home. I was surprised to find that their version of "making it right" included screaming at me about how they fired the gentleman who arranged the details of my move and sharing details about how he became employed in their company. They lamented about damages he caused their company and a terrible yelp review they got as a result of the way he treated customers. I had to ask them to speak calmly, as I do not appreciate being screamed at. The grandfather clock is functioning but is not keeping time correctly. They gave me a partial refund which I will use to have the clock serviced and replace the damaged weights if needed. read more

We decided just a few days ago that we needed help loading our U-pack pod so We called our usual movers and they weren't available so they recommended Meant to Be. I called and they were able to accommodate us. The 2 men showed up on time, worked really well together and packed everything and more into this pod. We couldn't be happier! It was worth every penny. We would highly recommend Meant to Be Movers. read more

We dealt with a man named Al. He spoke to my sister and estimated a 4 hour move from a local storage area to our condo. He said he would "take care of us" as he is a veteran, and we moved to CT with my 4 severely disabled children after my veteran husband of 22 years committed suicide in our home in FL due to severe PTSD, with my children in the home. In FL, we hired a moving company to move more items in to a temporary apartment, and had more items, and the movers completed the job in 2 hours. We then hired a company when I saved enough, to complete the cross country move with all our belongings AND a car on a hitch for 5k (so add in a 24 hour drive). Meant2Be movers and Al, the "veteran who promised to help out the widow and disabled family of a deceased veteran" completely screwed us. $1200 to move our belongings from a local storage area, with 99% of our belongings dumped in the first floor living room. The movers charged for an hour they didn't work at all, and another hour the lead said he was giving his men a break (who would assume I was paying for their break??) They complained about the 3 appliances that needed to go to the basement - yes, that's why I hired movers, because I can not physically carry a washer/dryer and freezer to the basement, and that's where the washer and dryer hook ups are!! They spent the majority of the time talking in Spanish, or talking about their greedy boss Al, when they weren't wandering in circles doing nothing. We even went out to buy them Gatorade! The majority of the heavy items got moved to the top floor and finished basement by myself and disabled 17 year old daughter!!! He offered me a one hour refund if I would agree not to write a review. I paid over $1200 for 8 hours and declined - $137 was not worth it to me. I would rather warn would be customers that this moving company is a scam. When I told him that his offer wasn't acceptable, and I'd rather write a review, he started screaming at the top of his lungs and became belligerent. I had to hang up as I could not even comprehend all his ranting and profanities. Most reputable movers come with power tools, can take doors off, can put simple furniture (bunk beds!) together, very very quickly. I got charged for 8 hours, $1200, they didn't even come with a drill or screw driver, put anything together properly (again mom and daughter did that), and in response to a respectful complaint and request to find a solution, got yelled and sweared at by an employee named Al. (No wonder his poor, slow movers resent the man). So, if you want weak, lazy guys to Veeeerrryy slowly shove all your belongings in your living room for a fortune so you can then carry all the stuff to the correct room and floor, and pay a fortune for it, Meant2Be Movers is the company for you. If you want competent movers who know what they are doing, work fast, have a team leader instead of sitting around looking confused and texting/talking on their phones and actually do a good job, don't make the same mistake I did and trust this company. Estimate - 4 hours Charge - 8 hours (including their texting, talking, wandering, complaining and break time). $1200 for stuff moved from a storage area down the street mostly all in to the living room of my condo. Getting scammed and taken advantage of like this caused great harm to my family, and the belligerent, attempting to con me in to writing a good review, "veteran, who promised to take care of us" was over the top rude, yelling, swearing, etc. And he knew very well he was doing this to a family of disabled children who just lost their veteran father. If that doesn't show his moral compass crystal clearly, I don't know what else would. I honestly feel sorry for him and his employees. read more

See all

These people are liars and crooks. They damaged my furniture charged me over $1800 to move from the Pavilion in Manchester to a place near Nevers Park, South Windsor. I called owner and she said that after vacation she would have someone repair them. Not only did she not show up but still have not fixed the damages. They are swindlers and crooks. Very dishonest company. Would never recommend them. read more

I was so happy that I chose Meant2Be Movers to help my husband and I load a 16' Penske truck to drive across the country. We were worried that we rented a truck that was too small, but that was not an issue for these guys. What can I say, great service, very friendly people, awesome movers. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for movers. read more

My son needed help unloading two Upack cubes. 3 men arrived on time and did a wonderful job of unpacking the cubes and also helped move in some recently purchased furniture. This is a professional and friendly family owned company that takes pride in their service and offer a fair price and abide by their original quote. I highly recommend that you consider them for your upcoming move. read more

These guys restored my faith in moving companies. 3 man crew, very polite, very professional. Covered the floors and stairs, wrapped all the furniture, nothing broken or lost. No down time at all. These guys busted their butts. Would recommend and use again read more

NOT RECOMMENDED. These were the slowest movers. They moved a 2 bedroom condo for a family of 4 (a 2 year old, a 7 year old, and my wife and I) in 10 hours, even though I ended up taking 3 SUV-loads of stuff myself, and there was really only 1 bed to disassemble and reassemble. One of them was a rookie who slowed down the others. They damaged the bed rails while reassembling, and left out a lot of the screws. They didn't hook up the washer correctly, either. They really took their sweet time to do everything. It was very obvious that they were working slowly because they wanted to bill for the maximum hours possible. The owners are very rude. Don't let them deceive you; they talk nicely to get your business, tempt you with free boxes, saying they're church people and all, but don't fall for it. They didn't listen to one issue I reported, they were very adamant about charging for the full number of hours without any concession for anything, and they screamed and yelled on the phone instead of being professional as a company. All in all, the worst moving experience I have ever had. Go with Woodland, they seemed fair and extremely professional. read more

5 Stars! Trustworthy. Reliable. Fair. Goes out if their way to please the customer. Have used for several moves and would highly recommend. read more

I have used these movers twice, once just to unload and once for a move from CT to Boston. Both times they were prompt, efficient, friendly, and very careful with my stuff. I would definitely recommend them. read more

I chose Meant to be Movers based on favorable reviews online and a favorable impression we had of the owner, Susan Lepack, when she came to our house to do a survey. I totally regretted this decision. They are incompetent, lackadaisical and unprofessional. The survey called for two trucks and five people but they showed up with one truck and three movers. The truck was a rental and did not have a functioning ramp or lift and could not negotiate our steep driveway. Predictably, the crew was completely overtaxed and unable to complete the move. Even worse, the driver and the movers ended up quarreling and eventually the driver just walked off. Later, I discovered that he had done a poor job packing, and as a result, many pieces of furniture were damaged or wrecked. After frantic calls, they eventually dispatched a second truck with additional crew. All told, the move of only about 10 miles required 13 hours. Dealing with the company was equally frustrating in the aftermath of the move when I attempted to have them replace or repair the damaged furniture. The process involved innumerable trips to our house and scheduling errors that forced me to leave work early many times. Although I was not satisfied with the repairs and the cheesy replacements that they provided, I gave up fighting because I could not stand to deal with them anymore. Although it is typically for some glitches to occur and to have some minor damage when moving, I have never experienced such a poorly-executed move nor have I ever encountered so much damage. read more

Beware! Wish we never used them. They showed up an hour late. It then took them another hour to pick up and move the first item. They never covered one item while they were in the truck. I was at the site he entire time and nothing was covered. They shattered two legs of our couch and then used packaging tape to piece it all together in hopes we wouldn't find out. There was a large red stain on one of our pieces of furniture that we discovered the next day. They stated that they didn't do it because their employee is a good person and wouldn't lie. They stated that the stain was caused by my son spilling kool aid. This is what was determined by their "investigator." However, my son wasn't anywhere near the movers or furniture, everything was moved out already other than bottled water, my child doesn't drink kool aid, and best of all the "investigator" never came out to view the stain or even saw a photo of it ! True story! Anyways they stated they would send someone out to view the damage but they have already made their decision? Uhh what? They then stated that if later they decided to cover the damage they would pay sixty cents a pound. Which wouldn't cover the cost of the upholstery cleaner we purchased to try to fix the stain. Very poor decision on using them. Wish we didn't. read more
