The movers greeted us with a Welcome Pineapple :)
Jolene L.

Oh the journey this has been! We moved back to Honolulu in April 2024. Our belongings were packed up nicely and crossed the Pacific Ocean. The 6 crates made it safely to the dock in May 2024 and then our journey really began. We had tenants from hell that didn't want to leave our house. So instead of being able to receive our things, we had to have Royal Hawaiian Movers keep it in their temporary storage. Week after week, we kept in communication with them regarding the formal eviction of the former tenants and fortunately we were able to keep penciling in a delivery date. Well, weeks turned into months of temporary storage and Royal Hawaiian Movers were so understanding to push back the delivery date with every unfortunate update I had. Not only is a formal eviction a long process, but the former tenant left our house totally TRASHED!!! Here we are in August 2024, after a full house restoration, yes...BIOHAZARD was involved...the house is now our home again. Royal Hawaiian Movers arrived as scheduled. The driver checked in with us the day before delivery and the morning of delivery. Three men showed up in uniform and we did a quick walk through to show them the different rooms. They laid down a protective runner from our front door through the living room to the kitchen. My easy task was to check off the item number from the inventory sheets as they unloaded 147 pieces from 6 crates. They were very careful not to drop anything. They were very efficient in the way they took our things off the truck and unwrapped things in our garage. They were very strong and carried everything inside without scratching the walls or floors. And, they were very tidy in removing all packing material before they left. Big Mahalo to Royal Hawaiian Movers for the Welcome Pineapple and a complete professional move in. Our family is extremely grateful for their patience and understanding through our ordeal with the former tenant and constantly changing the delivery date. It is SO good to be reunited with our things and being able to fill our home....finally :)

We moved from LA back to Honolulu. We've spent tens of thousands of dollars for their services, but it was so worth it. They wrapped our things in LA and while they were here, their Hawaii workers were strong, professional and efficient. They brought our things to every room we wanted and removed packaging for us and disposed of it. The workers listened to what we wanted and were respectful. With the exception of one broken leg of a desk, there wasn't anything else broken. I hate moving and never want to do it again, but I must admit, this company made it easier for us. They moved a 40 ft container full of items into our house within 4 hours. We offered water to the movers, but they declined. However, poor guys had their work truck break down on them when it was time to leave. All they asked us was to take a quick nap in our garage while they waited for a tow. Being a mover is so physically demanding on your body so of course we said yes! They worked quickly and very hard, no way would I say no. They are full service and offered to help us unpack our things and to remove all of the cardboard. Thank you! You made our lives easier and less stressful with moving.

file cabinet- came from Maui to Aiea office.

This review was based on the small inter island move job my company did with this week. WOW! AMAZING SERVICE I have dealt with many moving companies in the past and usually the sales/office staff of course are great and provide good customer service. That tends to change once the work crew actually arrives to do the work. Not in this case! 1) The follow up from this company is amazing! One of our items they took it upon themselves to measure before arriving to our office and informed us it would not fit in the elevator. Luckily we were able to re-route it to another office. 2) The crew that arrived to delivery the file cabinet were SO professional! They were even in nice aloha shirts~ get out!!! Movers??? That is awesome!! It is very easy to just "go to work for a paycheck" and not really "care" about your job. We truly felt that this crew took pride in what they do and how they interact with their customers. It was evident they value their working relationship with Royal Hawaiian Movers and valued us as a customer. They went over and beyond just to deliver this one file cabinet. Thank you guys so much!!!

Plunger with waterpik - teeth cleaner with poop cleaner

Gone is my love affair with Royal Hawaiian - where I previously sung their praises from the rafters, I just receive my shipment in Virginia and realized exactly how poorly they performed. When we left Hawaii, Royal Hawaiian had scheduled 4 days to perform our pack and load of ~10,000 pounds of HHG. On the evening of Day 1 they stated they were going to get us packed and loaded the next day (Day 2 of 4). We didn't request this and asked them not to rush - we didn't want our belongings damaged. They assured us it wasn't an issue and would be done very easily. At 5 pm on Day 2 they still had significant work to do and surged an additional 3 people to complete the job - which at 9 pm they finally accomplished. The next day we found several oil spots on our driveway left by their moving truck - although they promised to correct this issue, they never did and left us in a lurch with our landlord. Then our household goods arrived today - where do I begin. How about they packed my Waterpik in the same box with the toilet bowl cleaner and toilet plunger - no paper separating anything, just the thing I clean my teeth with laying with the thing I clean poop with. Boxes were overpacked, light boxes placed on the bottom of the stack and crushed, boxes ripped by the poor crate construction, furniture not wrapped and subsequently scratch beyond repair. Let's not forget - that picture of the hand weights are weights just rolling around in the bottom of the crate - they labeled these as being in a box, but no - just rolling around in the crate. Dishonesty abounds. And now I have to clean up the filth they made on my clean belongings. This is just the first 6 crates - we've got 6 more arriving tomorrow so I'll provide an update on how they performed in round 2 - I'm not holding out any high hopes for improved performance. We specifically requested Royal Hawaiian - they were supposed to be the best on the island but I can not and will not endorse Royal Hawaiian - if you see my name attached to a favorable review it was prior to this debacle.

Royal Hawaiian Movers! Such a great experience using this company! Mahalo!

I really appreciated the fact that they helped me to sort out the boxes and assemble the furniture and set up the apartment nicely just like I wanted. If I will be using movers again, I know where to come back since they have return customer deals and pretty good prices for expensive state like Hawaii.

I needed a full-service move: packing, moving furniture, handling arcade cabinets/TVs, and the disassembly/assembly of three desks. They recommended a 3-man crew, and while I knew the 2-hour base rate was optimistic, I didn't expect the experience to go downhill so fast. The Pros: * They were flexible with timing. * They quickly disassembled and assembled my desk. * They were willing to work past their standard service hours, staying until 9:30 PM to finish the job. The Cons: * Extreme Disrespect: Despite specifically hiring and paying for packing services, we overheard the crew complaining about having to pack. Even worse, they were caught calling me "incompetent" and saying I didn't know what I was doing while I was in my own home. We addressed it on the spot, but the atmosphere was incredibly hostile and soured the entire day. * Poor Workmanship: We had already pre-packed many of our own boxes, but the items they handled were treated with zero care. * Major Damages: The total cost of the move was $1,195 for 5+ hours of work. However, the day after the move, I discovered over $2,000 worth of items, some irreplaceable, were damaged due to their poor packing. While I appreciate that they stayed late until 9:30 PM to get the furniture moved, the verbal abuse and the destruction of my property made the "cheap" rate a total illusion. Bottom Line: My lesson was learned--don't go cheap. Between the insults and the $2k+ in damages, this was a bad experience. Do not use for FULL SERVICE.

Not only did they provide the lowest price point but they also made me feel truly cared for. My initial call was with Paige. She was lovely, upbeat and helpful. She calmed my concerns and helped me de-stress. I felt my family was in good hands after a few minutes of talking. Paige is great at what she does! My next few calls were with Jordan who seemingly was available 24/7. He never missed a call and helped me navigate a tricky move. He was transparent and realistic about what expectations my family and I should have. He went above and beyond to take care of my family as if they were his own relatives. On moving day, Ty and Brandon were unbelievably efficient, hardworking, thorough and kind. My grandma doesn't speak much English but the language barrier proved no problem in the face of Ty and Brandon's kindness. Ty and Brandon were undoubtedly impressive. Professional from start to finish. Crazy strong and fast. They were efficient yet careful. No damage to any of our belongings. Ty and Brandon worked quickly in order to help my family save costs--even doing extra things to help like move a whole fridge to make my life easier. What was estimated to take 3.5-5 hours took the pair of them 2.5 hours. This is with one tall flight of stairs at the old apartment and FOUR flights of winding stairs at the new. Unreal. My family has moved twice before but no other moving company left anywhere near the same positive impression as YouMoveMe. Tyron and Brandon left quite the impression on my family--so much so that they know who they want to call for their next move. YouMoveMe humanizes the moving experience and actually makes it enjoyable. They offer the best prices and best service. They don't charge for the walkthrough like many other companies, and charge by 15-min increments after the first hour. Please be sure to tip your movers. They work hard and their jobs are not easy--though Ty and Brandon make it seem like it. Highly recommend YouMoveMe! The most professional moving company yet.

If you use them, make sure you protect your own furniture by wrapping it well. This is the mistake I made. Also our tv was damaged, no cracked screen, we just have a vertical line during certain images on the left edge of the screen now. It was an expensive oled, we spent over 4k for it. They didn't use the box I purchased and assured me would be better out of the box. My fault for not insisting on using the box. Our tv stand suffered minor dings, like paint chips, I was able to cover it up with some touch up paint so no big deal. I would recommend them if you protect your own items well.

They loaded up half because their "largest" truck couldn't do the complete move knowing full well it was 2 completely filled storage units. They finally got to my new home at 6:20p. They were supposed to set things up with what they had. Instead they left it in the garage. When I informed the owner his response was "Ok whatever we didn't finish, XXXXXXX will complete" Wow - lack of professionalism. He made it seem like it was my fault. As a customer I shouldn't have to be making endless phone calls & chasing down movers. This was a contracted move through a moving company. Even they were surprised at the attitude. I cannot ever recommend a company that treats their customers this way. Martin (the owner) says they do a lot of military moves. I'd think twice if they treat locals this way. *The rating would be a No Star but that's not an option.
