    Nate S.

    It takes a truly horrible experience for me to leave a review on anything, but I feel like it is my duty as a human to share our experience with Royal Movers today. After a verbal estimate of a particular hourly rate, and plenty of sweet talking of discounts from the owner Chaz (real piece of work this guy), the price we were required to pay was not what was agreed to at first estimate. I'm sure there was no estimate put in writing by design, for this purpose. The three men that helped us move today were incredibly slow and complained more than I have ever heard movers complain in my life. These guys were fully prepared to charge over $3000 to move a 1200 SF bungalow with no couches, appliances, or other large items to move, 15 minutes down the road. They watched myself and another gentleman carry the heaviest couches out the front door from the comfort of their work truck. To top it all off, after about 45 seconds of conversation to try and understand why the hourly rate was suddenly increased (through foreman Mike to Chaz), Chaz refused to honor the originally agreed upon hourly rate and flat out called my mom a f***kin b**ch to Mike, not realizing he was on speaker phone and we could clearly plainly hear him. Mike was immediately embarrassed and quickly changed his tone for the rest of the day, profusely apologizing and talking down on Chaz ("I'm certainly not working here for the ownership", etc.). I have never seen anyone, let alone the owner of a company, so unprofessional in my entire life and I work in construction! I will be telling everyone as long as I live to not use this company. Save 50% of your money and use college hunks and be done in 60% of the time with no grumbling or babysitting. These guys rob you blind and then disrespect you right to your face. I can't wait for Chaz to reply to this review. I wonder what he will call us next! Ha!

    I'm sure this review comes as no surprise to Chaz, the owner. A local family member who knew Chaz was the one who decided to give our moving job to Royal Movers (had I read the reviews before the contract was signed, I would have preferred we gave our business elsewhere). That family member would not be on site nor point of contact the day of the move because she was working. Another curveball thrown by us was after we had finished packing the night before the day of our move, we realized since we were downsizing from a two bedroom to a one bedroom, it would be better to utilize a storage unit temporarily. My cousin asked me not to try contacting the movers about the change of adding additional drop-off locations as it was late on a Sunday night and it was an hourly job so adding destinations shouldn't be an issue in her opinion but she would give him a heads up in the morning. Chaz told me when we met the next day, he is available to be contacted 24/7. I became the point of contact on the day of the move as my mother is 74 years old and a slow walker and didn't get to the phone fast enough when he tried calling the first time. I theorize it was all our last minute changes that put him in a bad mood. For all the years in business, I was surprised at his inability of rolling with the flow and lack of expertise. If you have a simple, pick up ideally packed boxes and smaller lighter furniture from Point A with a short walk and dedicated service elevator and deposit them randomly at Point B also with a short walk and dedicated service elevator then this might be the right company to choose because Chaz and his co-worker Ace definitely worked hard. But according to Chaz, he hadn't been to this senior apartment building pickup location in 10 years and verbally shared his aggravation to learn there would be so much walking to the truck and waiting for the shared elevator. I believe he thought me rude by responding that is where the property manager told me he could park, what is the alternative he suggests to improve that situation, and also I'm the one it's going to cost more to move as it was an hourly rate job. The contract apart from having addresses, does not have detailed description of the job so may be add that so the movers know upfront the size of the move and amenities at the locations. Despite skipping their lunch break, this job took almost 8 hours to move a 2 bedroom from one senior living apartment complex to another (10 minute drive) plus a 20-minute stop at a storage unit (10 minute drive) and 10-minute stop at a personal residence to deliver a couch (less than 10 minute drive). Make sure you discuss how you'll be billed for less than hour increments. They charge a service fee for paying by credit card and don't accept personal checks and wouldn't accept a cashiers checks (though invoice states otherwise). They will disconnect electronic equipment but will not re-connect it so I recommend having that all packed up yourself and transporting it yourself so it's organized in a way for you to know how to reconnect. I did not communicate, I would be reconnecting the equipment first thing at the destination location but I assumed with so many years of moving experience Chaz would know I'd have to since I couldn't move the 70" television and the wood cabinet it sits on by myself once everything was reconnected. Another tip he shared upon arrival for making his part of the job easier, was to have all the items going to each location in one room. I hired movers to do the heavy lifting and packing of the truck. There simply wasn't enough room in one room to stage all of it. Instead, I pre-made areas in each room for each location and had marked each box/item with which location it was going to. I stayed on site, while they were loading and unloading in case they had questions. While he found me to be rude, I found him to be very derogatory toward me as a woman and I felt bullied by him. Had I read the reviews after the contract was signed, I would have requested a different pair of moving team that excluded Chaz as Ace provided respectful customer service aiming for 100% customer satisfaction and the destination location property manager even shared he thought Royal Movers was one of the better moving companies he'd seen do moving jobs there. I am very grateful they completed the job with everything in one piece and in the same condition but cannot say it was a pleasant experience for anyone involved.

    Edit on 11/25/2023 - @ Chaz accused me of being a fake reviser from another moving company. I am not a FAKE reviewer; this is how he treats people! I attached the "contract" that you wrote to my parents and blocked out their names and signatures to protect their privacy. You managed to steal $1,500 in cash from them for work that you did not do. I was nice in my review below. If any potential customers would like to reach out to me, please do. Sadly, my dad passed away in July and was unable to post this review. I was at their house the day that Chaz and his packers showed up to pack on day 2 and demanded cash up front, prior to work being done. Chaz screamed and yelled at my 84- & 87-year-old parents and walked out and never returned. I would give a zero if it were possible. Do your homework and check all of their reviews and complaints at the BBB. Experienced first-hand how my elderly parents were treated. Cash payment demanded upfront, prior to work being done. They swore and yelled at my parents and left without packing or moving them.

    Three pieces in the basement. We had it move out the back door and to the trailer in minutes
    John J.

    Hired to move furniture from basement, upstairs and main floor. We wanted to stay within 4 hour window of time and maybe another oh our if needed. Basically, three dressers, a bed, three couches and some cabinets. They scheduled the job and showed up at our house to review the lay of the house. Basement furniture easy (right out the back door and to truck. Main floor easy (right out the front door). Up stairs would be most difficult but not complicated and smaller dressers and a bed. I explained that we tried to minimize the difficulty for them and thought they would be happy! Well when hours got discussed (originally 3 hours at $185.00 an hour plus we were to pay an additional bonus hour for the no less than 4 hour time they required. We agreed to pay $185.00 x 4 hours. They said wait, we need to call dispatch and came back with a new plan of no less than 7 hours. I questioned the additional 3 hours that were just added on and the crew got upset that I questioned the hours. The owner revealed himself and started to tell us he didn't need the job an we were going to pay 7 hours or nothing. Again I didn't understand how the hours changed and the fact that we were only going 10 miles down the road and they had three large grown men there to work. Owner Chas came unglued and started using profanity and I tried to calm him down. He used the F word and would'nt even agree to meet in the middle. In a rage he did not start the job and walked over to talk to one of my neighbors. I asked to please do not leave and let's talk work it out. He MFed me and left us with no way to move and seem so happy that he screwed us over. I wish I would have got him on camera. Well, thank god for UHaul, I called them and picked up a 6x12' trailer hooked to my F150. Called a couple nephews and paid them rack $100.00 an hour. We move that "so called difficult and time consuming stuff" in a few hour and they aren't even professional movers. This Chad guy is an aggressive vulgar man that has issues with anger. I found that UHaul has movers for hire when you rent from them. The nicest people and an alternative solution so you don't ever have to call Chad's arrogant personality.

    AAA QUALITY MOVING should be your only choice of movers as they are mine…read more My first move with them was in 2013 and they have moved me atleast 10 times since. Twice I've had to use two other companies and not only did neither show up on time but they did a horrible job, broke my things and one company even damaged my father in laws house and refused to take anything off the extremely high price I was paying. AAA QUALITY MOVING not only cares about the people they move but they move your item's as of it were their own. So weather you a person moving home to home or into or out of Storage or a Small or Even Large Company looking for the Best Movers at The BEST PRICES...MAKE AAA QUALITY MOVING YOUR ONLY WAY TO MOVE!

    Absolutely the worst experience moving ever! Everything seemed great until they showed up. We had…read morephone calls, texts and even a walk through where John even took notes. We felt confident. Boy were we wrong! $15k down the drain. Everything became a complaint or an argument. We had picked them specifically because they said they would build a crate for the lathe and charged another $1000 to do it. On the day John argued he would not move it and had never agreed to. Much less build a crate for it. I ended up providing makeshift materials and show them how to safely move it. When it got here things were bent and broken. While getting boxes in the truck two of them kept pushing each other around like two little kids. They eventually dropped a bed frame on the hardwood floor and then one pretended to be hurt. We saw it. It never touched him but he screamed it broke his foot and was bleeding. Yet somehow he had no issues moving boxes. The same two guys kept pushing each other around until finally one was thrown right where a snow plow was being moved. The plow flipped over and narrowly missed his foot! I turned white. The truck they brought was not big enough. They had to go and offload it and return. That took them 4 hours. We had to walk behind them around the house because they would constantly not grab all the boxes from rooms but close the door and say it was all done. Always an argument ensued. Things like yard equipment, glass and awkwardly shaped things were taken separately on the truck. When these guys arrived they had two trucks and just 3 people. As they opened the truck I saw one of my generators sitting upside down! The lathe was loosely strapped to the side of the truck sitting on the same material I provided. Things on it were bent and broken from bouncing around. All the yard equipment and awkwardly shaped items were just stuck in tall garment boxes. Trim pieces from my truck I had just painted were scratched and rubbed through. Ruined. Boxes were crushed. The guy with the "broken foot" kept limping around. John hardly did anything. Boxes were placed any which way pretty much anywhere. We had to insist and argue for boxes to be taken where they belonged. Things that went into storage were just chucked in and boxes placed right at the entrance. It was a mess. We gave up on having the furniture put back together as we just wanted them to leave.

    I had to think long and hard about writing this review because I grew up with the philosophy "if…read moreyou don't have anything nice to say - then don't say anything at all". That being said - I don't want others to fall into the trap I did. My experience was similar to the many other voices here on yelp. I was provided with an "estimated hours time" to complete my move . . . everything in the house was packed and ready to load. Three men showed up late. One young guy was on his phone every time I walked outside to check progress on loading. A completely rude man kept asking to use my bathroom and then informed me I was out of toilet paper and did I have more. Needless to say I had a clogged toilet. They took more than twice the anticipated time to load the truck and behaved outrageously when I said I didn't have enough cash to pay them (since I planned for half the time). The man wanted to stay (alone) in my empty house while I went to the bank to get money. What kind of legitimate business demands payment in cash?! But the real reason I am writing this review is because most of what I loaded into the truck went into storage for a year. I just moved again and was able to unpack my things......crushed storage boxes, soo many broken items I can't even count, damaged furniture AND my very expensive commercial sized treadmill is broken. The day of the move I watched the bathroom idiot try to pick up the console by himself and as I was beginning to say, "don't....." - he dropped it upside down on my concrete drive. I was hopeful that since it was wrapped in foam and moving blankets it would be safe - but I should have known better. When I called the owner he started swearing at me and insisting everything was my fault and his men told him I was "difficult". Don't trust this man/company with your possessions! The clowns he hires to do the moving are unprofessional, rude, lazy and don't give a poo about how they treat your items.

    Had a very smooth and professional communication with the owner, John. And got quoted for a more…read morethan reasonable price for my move. The move itself went way smoother than I anticipated. My crew, Derek and Justin were extremely efficient and communicative. They always asked me where and how I would like to have the things unloaded and placed, and were very respectful of my apartment. Ended up finishing everything and more than what I have asked for to unload in less than the quoted 2 hours! Would definitely consider using them again if needed to move. In a word: Don't sweat, leave it to the Big Guys!

Two guys showed up with a huge truck; took about 2 hours to load and drove the 60+ miles to my new home. I explained that I would have to leave before they finished, so I could drive back to Dearborn in the daylight (eyesight issues). That's when it all fell apart. I went back the next day to find plastic wrap strewn around the house, leaves all over the inside of the house, items left wrapped, a dirty bathroom and smoke smell. I contacted Fordson, and was told a slew of lies the worker told him; He said I told them not to enter the garage, FALSE. He said he couldn't find anywhere to dispose of the plastic wrap - THERE WAS A GARBAGE CAN IN THE DRIVEWAY NEXT TO THEIR TRUCK, I was told they aren't responsible for cleaning up after the job. I told Fordson I felt taken advantage of, being alone and older, and that his employee was lying. They made no accommodation and essentially blew me off once they were paid.

In fact, I'm on Yelp right now looking up their information to hire them again and realizing I forgot to submit this well-deserved review from back in April.
