Loved our movers! Only giving a four star rating is because I was a little disappointed with one aspect: Justin came out to my house and gave me a quote for our move day. He told me there would be three movers coming on move day and on the day of, only two showed up which caused these two guys to work way harder than they would have if there had been three of them. Isaac and Kyle were our movers and did a great job, especially for only being two of them for all of the big furniture we had. They were professional, personable, and literally ran back and forth from the moving truck! They were also accommodating as we had to drive to two different places to drop off furniture. Everything was wrapped, disassembled, and then reassembled when it got to it's destination. Price was reasonable as we rented the U-haul ourselves and just used the movers. We will be moving again in August and I will definitely use them again, but with more movers :) read more

They damaged walls and our refrigerator no longer works after they dropped it. We were also missing a very important sentimental box. They did not do the check offs like they were supposed too. We were also supposed to have them set up and unpack everything. They kept complaining about it and also damaged a bedframe. In the end they did not unpack everything like they said and damaged a bunch of things. We are now pending reimbursement through their slow insurance process. The owners comment is just proof of one more of their lies. I have been trying to work with them but they're basically telling me that I'm lying but their employees didn't inventory the boxes like they were supposed to, so it's their fault.they were also supposed to know any damage made by the other company which they did not therefore it is in their hands. That still doesn't explain why they didn't unpack everything and damaged the walls and bed frame. read more

This was my first time really moving, and I am SO glad I went with Meathead movers. I had been on the fence, lots of friends and family telling me that I should just do it myself, but with work and contractors working on the house there wasn't enough time. The estimate on the phone was clear and easy, they were pleasant and professional and upfront about the cost of everything. My three Meatheads, Jose, Brian and Sam showed up on time. Jose outlined the costs again for me at the start, and they worked hard to get my home moved quickly and efficiently. No dilly dallying or wasting time to pad the clock. They took care to wrap up my items, such as my tv and musical keyboard. They took my bed frame apart and put it back together perfectly. Very pleasant and professional, nothing shady about them (which is why I decided to go with a reputable moving company that does background checks). They DID jog back and forth, although I felt a little bad because it was probably 95F that day. To the Meathead movers management, these three guys are awesome and are a real asset to your business. If I do happen to move again, I will use Meathad Movers. read more

Romy, Tiago, Damian, and Daniel were efficient, polite and all around great movers. We moved my parents (who kept getting in the way) and the guys were super patient with them. :) My parents were impressed with their work ethic and willingness to move things around when needed. If needed we would definitely use Meathead Movers again. Thank you so much! Heidi, Terry & Mona read more

We used Meathead Movers to move our office this week. We purchased the "Whole" package, to our knowledge. Packing, moving and unpacking. Well on moving day the packers showed up and went over paperwork, that is when they told us that we did not have the unpacking services too. We needed the move to go smoothly due to the fact that we are a business and are still conducting business during our move. Our packers Kayla and Tiffany were nice. They packed the office in about 3 hours (that is what we paid for). They wrapped fragile items and packed them carefully, but when it came to packing the computers, and electronics they just unplugged everything and threw it in a box. I told them that we needed to keep all the wires to the computers together but they did not do that. When we got to the new office and started to unpack and put the computers together, all the wires were mixed up and not even in the box with the computer. I could go on and on about all the stuff that was packed in complete different boxes. We moved in 3 days ago and just found one of the mouse to the computer in a box that was in a box with odds and ends. Overall the packing service was just ok. I probably would not use this service in the future. The movers did a good job. It was hot that day and they still hustled. The only complaint that I have with them is that they moved our desks with all the drawers in them, so everything was all upside down and spilled everywhere. Overall a decent moving experience, but overpriced! read more

This business is a scam and needs to be investigated 1. They over charge you 2. They will steal from you and lie about it 3. They take advantage of there workers Now I'm being persecuted about my review. I ask to be left alone and to no longer be bother as you can see I'm being harassed. Yes I've done business with these scammers I've ask to be anonymous in fear of being further attacked or possibly hurt. read more

Absolutely horrible attitude over the phone. My husband and I are unable to move a display cabinet in our living room. Rather than inconvenience friends, I was willing to pay someone to come over to move it a few feet (it's newly purchased and empty). I explained I am unavailable in the mornings, but they could by come any day, any time, in the afternoons or evening. Their response was rather snarky, and basically said since it was just a one hour minimum they could not accommodate any time requests other than the day. I had to be available on-call with a 30 minute notice the entire day. So in other words, if I'm not making them a ton of money I have no value to them. Certainly no customer service here. Update: As stated in Allison's response, they are not accommodating if you have a smaller job. I don't believe my asking them to provide service on any day they wish, and any time they wish, except mornings (we have other commitments), is unreasonable. In fact, it's pretty darned open-ended and flexible. They respond as if I'm an inconvenience. No worries, we'll go elsewhere.. read more

Really enjoyed our experience with Meathead movers. Orlando and his team of athletes were courteous, professional, and extremely fast! They would literally jog between dropping off new loads on the truck and grabbing more things in the house. A bit pricey for the whole move, but in the end the convenience and enjoyable experience made this decision to use Meathead Movers totally worth it! read more

Honestly I would give 3.5 stars but am bumping it up to 4 based on the effort made to try to fix things after my move. The estimate process was awesome. My representative was easy to talk to and personable. We did a video walk-through via FaceTime. The packing services was where it fell apart. I packed some before the move because the estimate guy told me it was about 5-6 hours of work at minimum. I used packing and moving services so they gave me 3 hours of packing so I figured I would pay for 3 more. Half off for packing seemed like a good deal...except when you feel like the packers are there and "doing you a favor". They are college students. They were friendly. My team had a dynamic that was off so they didn't work as well as a "team". After 3 hours, they asked what else I wanted. I suggested packing things up and the guy says "oh they can shrink wrap that" ... and "that". So ultimately I only paid for 1 extra hour. Then packed more on my own cause I got the sense they weren't there to help and just wanted to go home. Now moving day, well that was a total screw up. First I was informed the Fresno crew could do my "move" so we got the SLO team. Unfortunately they showed up late because of traffic. The actual move took forever - more than 6 hours because after the got to our house they had to take an obligatory break. I get it but slow start. In reality if the packing had been better the move would have been more successful. I don't fault the crew driving with traffic. I changed move day from Sat to Monday a few weeks prior so part of not having the Fresno crew could be on me for making that change. I did speak to management and was offered an hour of free unpacking but didn't use it due to having such a bad taste in my mouth from the packing experience. I would recommend the movers. I would NOT recommend the packers. Who cares if you get 3 free hours, I would rather 6 paid hours and having it done right. ETA: my move was 4 bedroom house, single story and the move distance was 3 miles. They started at 11:30, worked some, then had a break which was required then worked more. They didn't finish packing the truck until after 6pm! I attribute this to all the stuff I think should have been packed and wasn't. read more

Great moving company!! Movers were polite and their goal was to leave my residence with my furniture exactly where I wanted it....numerous times they mentioned they wanted me to be happy. Such a great experience! Price was good and they were very careful when they moved my items into my home. Can't go wrong with Meatheads!! read more

My review was removed. Original had way more detail, reposting. It is against the law to temove this review in California (where I am). They charged me $4700 to move a one bed apartment. Not a hoarder. Reasonable amount of stuff. Don't use them, they'll overcharge you too. read more

We used Meathead movers on our move out state. The price was expensive but the seemed legit and were available when we needs them with a firm delivery date. The truck and the team shirts were so great, what a great idea and marketing set up. Curtis, Diego and Jason were absolutely nice and professional. There are a lot of scams out there, so unfortunately, I felt the need to overpay. Had a few other issues with one of the movers, but I'm told he no longer works for the company. read more

Meathead Movers - Movers Near Me - Madera, California

My daughter and I had to move to another apartment due to health and safety issues, and we were so frazzled and stressed out, just counting the days until the movers came to "rescue" us. These guys are wonderful from start to finish. Easy to do business with and very professional, but the true gems were the movers themselves. I wish I could remember their names. They were so fast, efficient, and friendly. I wish them the best, and thanks so much for the laughs! We will never forget you! read more

These guys are the real deal! Not only was the pricing very affordable -- but the two gents they sent out were above and beyond. They were able to get our move done ahead of schedule and arrived right on time. I will 110% recommend anyone on the fence to give this moving company a go, because they absolutely HUSTLE! read more

So expensive! I have used in the past and recommended to my client for her move and this is the estimate. The home is under 2000 sq ft. Would not recommend. read more

Meathead Movers - Estimate for two weeks. I have to box everything and they are moving approximately 4 miles within Fresno. - Movers Near Me - Madera, California

We hired Meathead Movers for our move and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for help with their move. They were on time, friendly and careful with all of our belongings. They wrapped everything up professionally, unwrapped it and moved it to place on arrival. They checked-in periodically throughout the process. They were fast, efficient and very capable of moving the heavy stuff. Thank you Meathead Movers for taking the stress out of our move and doing the heavy lifting! We will be giving you a call on our next move for sure. read more

I had a similar bad experience with Meathead Movers 1.5 years ago. I was told they would bring their biggest truck. The guys showed up 15 minutes late in a rented 15 ft Uhaul. The team lead spent more time trying to figure out how to make it all fit. It took 4 hours to load and 45 min to unload. He said unload time is usually 1/4 of time load time. After the move, when I called to complain they said they couldn't do anything bc I had refused for them to make a second trip so he had to make it all fit. Mind you we were up against rain that was coming. Sure enough, it started raining late in the process. They even had me utilize my friends truck to move and credited me $50 for gas. They said it's it normal practice, but asked me to use my friends truck and sent one of the movers with me to unload the truck. They did not fit all items in the truck. My elliptical which was on the move list and had been discussed was not moved. The intake person failed to ask the right questions. Unbeknownst to me, If it has to be taken apart they can't move it. One piece of furniture was slightly damaged. He took a report and I never heard anymore. I was giving them the opportunity to make the experience better and waiting to write a review. Here I am ready to move again and realized I never went back to review. I guess I didn't want to relive that horrible experience. Unfortunately it's comforting to see that others have had a bad experience bc everyone seems to rant and rave about Meathead Movers. My 7 year old boos them every time we see a Meathead truck You will see in their feedback to negative reviews "we have tried to reach this customer..." I haven't seen one where they confirm reaching the customer and making it right. If they do reach you they just defend their point. They do not care after they have their $. I will be interested to see what response I get from them on this review. Move date 2/19/17 they should have no trouble finding my info about this move. However, I do not wish to hear from them personally. I just want to warn others to stay away. If anyone can recommend a great local (Fresno/Clovis) moving company please let me know. I will be moving again soon. read more

Meathead Movers - "Their biggest truck" - Movers Near Me - Madera, California

See all

When I moved from Southern California to Clovis, I used Meathead Movers. My sister moved to Fresno from Lodi and Meathead Movers helped her. And this week, Meathead Movers helped to move my elderly mom into a residential facility. All three moves were handled great. My mom's movers were Brandon and Kyle. Even with the Covid pandemic, they were professional, adequetely protected, and completed the move on time and within budget. Our thanks to Meathead Movers and to Brandon and Kyle for making what could have been a very stressful event into a perfectly executed transition for our mom. read more

Asher and Kyle were absolutely amazing! They really went above and beyond..my moms bed is awful to put together and take apart but they did it and with no complaints. They were fast and efficient! Thank you so much for your work and professionalism. read more

Highly recommend them!! We had many setbacks and delays on getting escrow closed. ALL of the people on the phone were so kind, so understanding and so helpful. So, today was FINALLY our moving day! They sent us 6 young men I wish I could remember all their names...Rick, Nick, Ashe, Carlos omg I am so sorry to the other 2... they filled 2 trucks faster than I thought possible, Drove to the new place and unloaded everything, set up beds, put everything where we wanted. You 6 were truly a blessing to us, we never could have made this move on our own. Thank you all again so very very much!! read more

My house/move was not unsanitary. I think they saw how much i had and didnt want to do it. My house smelled a little of cat but it was not unsanitary. Fuck u people, u snobby assholes! read more

We did our long distance move from Fresno to the Bay area with meathead movers. The process was smooth from start to finish. We were able to have their guys come out for an estimate within a week. Their estimators came and documented what we needed moved and what was going to stay. Throughout the walk-through he was explaining everything and making sure I understood the process. I had used them in the past for my move from an apartment to that home so I basically knew what had to be done. But now 2 kids later things needed to be more detailed for me. Both Taylor and Daniel were extremely patient and great with my kids. On move day we had four guys come and start packing their truck. They padded the floors and walls to protect from scuffs. They worked efficiently and professionally - you could tell they took pride in their work. I was happy that none of them took part in personal conversations and their tone was always courteous. On the day of delivery in our new home there were two guys helping us. They made sure we had everything where we wanted and our furniture was placed just right. Again, they protected the walls and floors. Nick made sure to go through everything with me and my husband to ensure we were happy with how things ran. My only concern was that during the walk-through, I was told that because our move took two days the truck would be kept in a locked facility until the following day. On the second day the movers would drive up to our new home and unpack at that time. But Nick and Brandon drove up immediately after loading their truck and said that they would be at our house at 9am. That put a wrench in our plans because we counted on them being there in the afternoon. Unfortunately, our in-laws also had an emergency come up where we wouldn't be able to leave until the following day anyway. So when I attempted to contact the movers directly he didn't return my calls or texts. It was a hassle calling the main line to tell them we needed to push the start time out. Overall this is a great company. I wish they were in our new city! read more

I had 3 great great guys move my furniture for me. I couldn't ask for a better group. Thank you for your help. You went above my expectations. Again thank you read more

Pathetic. Money hungry. Estimates was $1000 UNDER what it came out to. Packers are slow so they can charge extra for "additional" hours. Movers tried to take stuff we were leaving behind for the new home owners. Outrageous customer service. Couldn't "help" and finally after days of charging told me they had a unit down south where I could store my belongings until the house closes. Never recommending! If anyone every says this name in front of me I'll tell them it's a scam. read more

My wife and I were very happy with our movers Colin C. and Thomas C. We were only moving from a POD into a storage unit. We booked for two hours and they came right in the time frame. They were there early and ready to go. Unfortunately the POD driver thought he was picking up the POD. He was supposed to pick it up and deliver it to Darell's storage. But no problem when he got there the guys unloaded it fast. They were running back and forth. They loaded everything well and did a great job. They were polite and friendly. I will definitely hire them again when we have a place to move to. I called around about price and they were able to bring it in for 300.00 The other movers were 428.00. I would recommend Colin and Thomas C and Meathead movers any day. read more

We moved on the hottest day of the year from a 2 story apartment to a house. Brett and the other 2 guys were efficient, hardworking, polite and respectful. They hustled but still were careful with all of our furniture. I highly recommend them. read more

The service was absolutely amazing. Evan and David did an excellent job. They HANDLED our move. We received multiple email reminders starting from two weeks before our scheduled date to confirm our move and what to expect. They called about 30-45 minutes before our scheduled time to ensure the appointment still worked for us and they were AT our door on the dot. ( not pulling in or on their way - ON TIME) Evan took the time to explain all of the paperwork and anything that was included in our quote and how that might change depending on our items fragility. They exercised the BEST hustle. Evan and David were extremely friendly, personable and polite. I appreciated their work ethic, efficiency and the care they used with our items. We had a lot of really large items for them to move, they took apart our bed frame for us and whenever their hands were free, they were jogging back for another item. We had only the two associates for all the furniture and they made sure they kept the work under the 3 hours as requested. All of our furniture made it here without any damage and there was no damage done to our old apartment or our new house either. Payment for the move was super easy. We got our receipt immediately before they even left. We also had the opportunity to complete an open feedback form regarding our service. A week later we received a phone call regarding the quality of the move and anything they may be able to improve upon. Overall, I would 100% recommend using meatheads for your move! Evan and David are awesome and if they are a reflection of all of the movers at meathead, you are in great hands! read more

I would never use this company again. Not only was my furniture damaged they tore the walls up as well with furniture hitting the walls. Please save yourself and use someone else read more

Meathead was amazing, hands down. We made the decision to handpack all small items and leave larger furniture items for Meathead to move. We had the inspector come and give us an estimated time of 4-5 hours. Our movers, Branden Larrogoitiy, Frank Leal, Brian Montgomery, and Christian Morales got it done in 3. That saved us cash and time. They handled everything with care, no walls hit or scratched, no damaged furniture. On top of that, when I had last minute changes to the interior design, they graciously helped me move things to new spots within the rooms. I had Meathead recommended to me, and I am glad I decided to go with them for my move. All inspections and walk throughs were done as expected and not a single step was missed. read more

I do not recommend using Meathead Movers. They did not send a person to my home to develop the estimate for the move which resulted in serious issues on moving day. The lead mover informed me that many items were not included in the estimate so the cost would be increased. About an hour later he told me he didn't think all of my belongings would fit in the truck they sent and there was not another truck available so they would move the rest of my stuff the next day. I told him I needed everything out of the house that day since escrow was closing the next day. A couple of hours later the lead told me they had secured another truck so everything could be moved. This was hardly the stress free senior citizen move I had been promised. When the trucks arrived at my moving destination, there were 6 movers and two trucks. Because the lower level of the house was being remodeled, everything needed to be placed on the second floor or in the garage. It was impossible for me to monitor all 6 movers to ensure boxes and furniture were placed appropriately. The trucks were emptied, my belongings stacked 3-4 boxes high in a bedroom with one pathway so I could not access most of the boxes. Multiple boxes marked fragile had one or two other boxes stacked on top of them. The garage was a disorganized mess. For example, next day I discovered my dvd player sideways in a plastic trash can in the garage along with a pair of gardening loppers and a dust pan. I was exhausted and frustrated by the time the trucks were emptied and just wanted the moving team gone. The lead did not suggest that we walk through my home to ensure everything was placed appropriately and at that point I did not think to request that. I knew it was a mess and knew that at that hour of the evening, it wasn't going to get fixed. After the movers left, I went to make my bed. I discovered the frame was not fully assembled and that the adjustable mattress had been placed upside down so it could not be plugged in. I called the next day, sending pictures to the gentleman I spoke with, to demonstrate the problems. I was treated as if I was being unreasonable but it was agreed a team would be sent the following afternoon to fix the bed/mattress issue and spend no more than 15 minutes rearranging boxes so that I could access them which was done. I ended up hiring someone to come in to help me with lifting and moving the boxes/items I couldn't lift since the company felt no responsibility to remedy the situation. I know this is a long review but the move was a nightmare experience for me. I sent an e mail and hard copy letter to the company CEO about the problems I experienced and received no reply. Hire someone else! read more

I was referred to Meathead Movers by a family member. I'm so glad they did refer me because I was making a long-distance move across the state from NorCal to SoCal. Meathead Movers made my move easy and stress-free. They were open and transparent with their prices and what I should expect during my move. I loved how seamless their process is and appreciate they actually took card payments. I had a 2-persons team helping me move. They were quick, professional, and careful with my items. When it came time to my new place, they even made sure I had small items (e.g., trash bags and pegboard tacks). I have never worked with a moving company so thorough and cautious with my items. I highly recommend Meathead Movers. read more

Needed to move a relative from one residential care home to another with very short notice to find movers. Luckily, The Meathead Movers were available. The 2 movers Anthony Aldape and Hilario Garcia were on time, efficient and very nice. I would have given an excellent mark, but felt that since it took less than an hour to move the very few items that we had to move, the price was very high because of their 2 hour minimum pricing. But then again, in a bind, you do what you have to do. read more

I was worried about moving my appliances and big items to my new home. Meathead Movers was able to get them there safely! The men that came were super respectful and did a great job moving the items. When a few minor issues came up, customer service was able to work with me to come up with a solution. They had a very busy schedule and were able to fit me into their schedule last minute. Thank you! read more

The packing ws decent. Most things were packed....we found some drawers in the kitchen that were not packed...no biggie. Day 2 Loading went smooth. There were 4 very professional young men who arrived and knocked the job out within 4 hours (not bad for the amount of stuff we had). HOWEVER!!!!! Shame on MHM for only sending only 2 guys to unload a 4 bedroom house at an apartment complex with 4 flights to go up and down. These guys struggled and it took them all day. NOT becuase of them...but rather poor planning on the company end. The 2 guys who arrived worked their asses off. We helped too to unload. I threw out my back helping. My having a bad back is the reason i hire movers. I will be putting this review on YELP and GOOGLE and My social media platforms as well. read more

So back in November 2019 I contacted Meathead Movers for a quote to move our household belongings to a new home. Typically I've spearheaded all of our moves with help from family and U-Haul rentals. However this time I was fresh out of spine surgery and was useless so I figured it would be wise to get major help. Unfortunately we also had to move immediately due to housing / plumbing issues. When I contacted the Froffice they set up an appointment to have someone come out and evaluate our belongings to better quote us. After expressing our urgent needs they assured me someone would be at our home at the agreed upon time and date. One day before the set appointment day I was contacted and informed that the "person" who would be going to do the evaluation was not available and the appointment would need to be canceled. I asked if there was anyone available due to our urgent needs but I was told there was not. I was definitely not happy because this truly threw off the game plan. Now I'm not knocking the company I'm aware of all the good work they do with assisting victims of domestic violence. I definitely feel that was down right unprofessional. Update: Thank you for reaching out to me Allison however your information is incorrect. I recall so vividly because I had just undergone back surgery and I thought the move would go seamlessly hiring your company, according to the information I received from who I thought was a professional employee. To be clear you canceled on me the same week it was within a day or so of the appointment date. Plus there was no need to call me back after I made it clear to you on the day your company canceled on me that I would no longer use your business. It's unfortunate your system and or employees are logging false information. What I can see from your Yelp review history YOU pick and choose what Yelp reviews you want to respond to with what I see are poor practices of justifying your errors by providing excuses for your lack of keeping commitments being professional and providing good customer service! It might be time for some accounting and customer service training. read more

I'm not one to write reviews, but I was SO pleased with my experience with Meathead Movers. The meatheads were professional, yet personable and made the whole process an absolute breeze! They also sent me guitar strings in the mail as a housewarming present after my move. Can you really get better customer service than that!? :) Thank you guys! read more

We have used Meathead Movers several times for company and personal services and always had a great experience, until now. There were no visible stains on our mattress topper when the bedding was removed, but the day it arrived there was damp stain that looked and felt fresh and smelled of vomit. We didn't notice it until after they left as it was rolled up. After unrolling it is when we found the stain. We immediately contacted Meathead Movers and their response was if it was them there would been splatters. I don't if it happened from something in the truck, dropping it on the ground etc but it was fine when we left it. It took them two weeks to respond to us, and we asked for the owner to get back to us and instead he had a newly employee call. Never again will we recommend Meathead or use them. read more

I recently had to move. Its definitely a stressful time. My experience with this company I wish I could give them more then 5 stars. It was incredible from start to finish. Breanna was who I spoke with. Kind friendly and put a smile on my face over the phone call. Alexis, Marco, and hernan were my movers and being my family is out of state and couldn't help. I truly felt like they were family. They were kind extremely respectful and did an amazing job. They flipped my stressful time into a wonderful day. Thank you staff. It means more then you know. read more

Contacted Meathead for phase 2 of my move (storage to new home). Team arrived in time and ready to work. Everything was loaded safely and unloaded in the rooms requested. Thanks Meathead! read more

Meathead movers was the first professional movers I have ever hired. All I can say is that they were extremely professional, punctual, and very personable. They took great care to maintain social distancing norms, and making the who process as low contact as possible. They had our entire apartment loaded up in 90 minutes and were able to unload in about 2 hrs. I hope I do not have to move anytime soon, but if I do, I will be hiring Meathead movers again. read more
