Fantastic. In every way. I have moved many times in my life and Prentiss and his crew were far and away the best I've worked with. They worked with me twice loading our stuff both into and then out of storage several months later. Able to meet our schedule, flexible, careful with our boxes and furniture, packed several storage units chock full and did the same when loading the trucks for our 400 mile trip to our new home. Highly recommend! read more

We were so glad we picked this company. Prentis was fantastic. We were moving boxes and a few furniture items from our Marietta storage locker to our the truck. We picked this company to call from the Uhaul list. The process could have been overwhelming but Prentis was clear and gave us assurance that his company was the right one for our job. Everything was clear. Both arrived on time, wanted to know any clarifications and we ready to go. Took great care for the items that were breakable and shared a understanding of passion for his work. Very personable which is needed when you are packing up family items. I would hire them again for any kind of moves. read more

Prentis was absolutely incredible in helping my mom's cross country move from Atlanta GA to New Mexico. They packed a very full 2 bedroom apartment into a 16 foot Penske truck perfectly! We just unpacked the truck with no broken items! The guys were very professional, great value, on time and did an amazing job. Couldn't recommend this company more! Next move we will absolutely call them. read more

100% would recommend! Reached out beforehand to confirm the moving details. Contacted me the day before to check in and clarify any questions regarding the location. Gave me ETAs before each arrival (using Uboxes). Incredibly skilled at packing things up safely and efficiently, true to the name! Left me with peace of mind that everything was handled so well. read more

Amazing service and friendly mover, had issues with timing which is why I take a star off, but I appreciate how "safe and efficient" it was!

At the mercy of Uhaul, I timidly selected this unknown company and trusted them to show up, unload a 26ft truck of all of my personal belongings and leave without breaking or taking anything. What I got was a professional mover with a great demeanor, a can do attitude and a relentless working motor named Prentiss Church and a young up and comer named Lamon Turner! They're was "0" wasted movement in this team and they exceeded my expectations in all matters. Not required, but very appreciated was that both of these fellas were very pleasant to work with and I would hire them again. Prentiss also had a knack for positively influencing his young apprentice Lamon that was neat thing to watch! read more

Safe and Efficient Moving - Prentiss and Lamon unloaded this 26ft truck in about 2 hours!!! - Movers Near Me

I had a U-Box that was shipped from New York to Atlanta and needed to be unloaded. I hired Safe and Efficient and was contacted by Prentiss who was communicative and professional throughout the entire process. On actual moving day (6/17), Prentiss arrived on time and worked so quickly. I'd recommend him to anyone who needs fast, reliable and safe moving services. The cost of the move matched the quality of service. Thank you Prentiss for making a hectic day very calm. read more

I used Safe and Efficient for my move on 5/2/2021, and they were quick, efficient, and very friendly. I called Prentiss a couple weeks ago, and I had to change my move dates a couple times, but he was still able to accommodate. I would recommend them to anyone in Atlanta. The one thing I really liked was that Safe and Efficient has multiple options on payment. read more

We called Safe and efficient moving as a last minute need for help moving a U-Haul box. Church answered our call immediately and was so accommodating to help us out of a difficult situation- another mover had promised to come and never showed up. Church was so helpful-contacted U-Haul who know him as the most reliable of movers. And he had the box delivered and moved to the apartment in super efficient and professional way. We booked Safe and Efficient again the same week for another moving need. We definitely highly recommend this company. Everyone are super professional and so kind and helpful in stressful moving situations. read more

I used Safe and Efficient moving 8 years ago when they were based in Saint Louis. It's been 8 years since then and every time I have to get movers I think of them because they were so excellent!! They went above and beyond to move me into my apartment when I moved to the city. I recall running into unforeseen circumstances when leaving Nashville, TN and therefore being very tardy on arrival, but they were so accommodating and kind throughout the whole process. I also remember how careful they were with all my boxes and most of all how professional they were. I am so happy to see the 5 star reviews for Prentiss and Corey and want to echo what others have said - they are the best of the best and I highly recommend!! read more

I needed some last minute moving help. Prentiss responded with a fair quote. Came the next day and moved my stuff. Great response time and did a great job. Highly recommend. read more

This is the third time we've used Prentiss and his team to move - once for us and twice for my mom. They are always on time and everyone is so polite and considerate! They take the time to carefully wrap breakables, and hand carry as many pieces as possible. They treated all my mom's fragile boxes of china as if they were theirs. I would not hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to others. Great job guys! read more

Terrible company to use for your move if you value your belongings. I made the mistake of using this company to pack my belongings for a coast to coast move. I treated my movers with the utmost respect and generosity the way of the move and I trusted their reviews. Two weeks later I get my stuff at the destination, and I am shocked by the state of my belongings. Furniture scratched beyond repair and disassembled without the screws secured. Most importantly thousands of dollars worth of suits dresses and other clothes crushed because the "professionals" hired by the company did not know that they are not supposed to pack garment boxes vertically. They put them horizontal and crushed them with heavy boxes. Company has been non responsive since they were paid. read more

See all

Prentiss and Michael (?) were the dream team. I requested help with loading a moving pod that was outside of my apartment. They arrived on time with their own equipment even without my request. They also protected my door frame with blankets, definitely true to their name of safe and efficient. Though I had two pods, they were able to fit everything in one to help me save money!!! I even had extra room leftover!! They finished in half the time and were so friendly. Though they have few reviews, they truly earned all of their 5 star ratings! read more

Safe and Efficient Moving - 700 sq ft apartment packed into one moving pod! Skill! - Movers Near Me

I cannot say enough about Prentiss and his staff! They were honest, kind, hard working and got the job done!!! We hired this business in 2020 and it is now 2022. Life happens, I just came to my mind and it dawned on me that I had not written a review about the excellent care given by this company!!! I give them six stars! Thank you again Prentiss! read more

WOW! Highly recommend Safe and Efficient Moving! They were polite, professional & knowledge. They took great care in packing our belongings. We've moved quite a lot & this was our best experience yet! You won't regrets hiring them for your move! (I'm particular, & I was REALLY impressed!) read more

I can't express how great Prentiss and his help Ty were on my move! My move was from Atlanta to Birmingham AL. I contacted Prentiss about a month out and he was extremely responsive and communicative. I spoke to a few big name moving companies in the area and their quotes, fees, and weird non guarantee same day delivery policies just didn't sit well with me. Talking to Prentiss on the phone the first time gave me a lot of comfort that he was the man for the job. He was very straightforward in his pricing and there was no hidden weird fees like the big companies slap on you. I had sent Prentiss pictures of items I had and he told me he would have me loaded up within 2 hours. They arrived at the scheduled time, and had me loaded up in 2 hours like he said! They wrap and protect your items like professionals, and they move very quick and efficiently. He's very genuine and deserves all the business he gets. Give the man your business!! Thank you so much Prentiss! read more

Wow! These guys are good! We moved across the country and were looking for a few movers to help us move our furniture out of a POD storage container. We called about a month or two in advance so that we would have everything setup by the time we got here to Georgia. On the day it was time to move in, their team was outside 30 minutes before and ready to go! Not even kidding, before I could even ask them how things were going, they were already done! What really through them over the top is that all of our furniture that was disassembled in the move was put together for us. Can't thank them enough and will hire them in a heart beat again! read more

My husband and i have moved across country twice in the past 12 months. I've used moving companies all over the United States- and i have to say, hands down S&E Movers have been the best. Nicest group of guys- very careful with our belongings. They knew what they were doing and it showed! I just can't say enough good things about them. I will definitely be a repeat customer. They are awesome! read more

One of the best movers ive hired ! They were very polite ,friendly, very efficient and most of all punctual. They had no issues with any requests at all that we made and kept asking if we needed anything more to be done. They were persistamt kn getting everything done and dusted and were gentle with all of the goods. They even helped fix and arrange everything in our new house that saved us a lot of time and energy ! The cherry on top was the minimal fee that they charge compared to other movers who boast bigger names. I would surely recommend these guys to anyone out there who needs to move . read more

10 minutes into Prentiss and his colleague being on site, my wife said that they were the most professional movers she's ever seen. They arrived 10 minutes early and wanted to get right to work. The two of them were beyond respectful (yes sir, yes ma'am with every sentence) and they were extremely efficient. We were moving out of a 2 story 3 bedroom house and into a 26' box truck with a ramp. They hand carried all items, including the washer, down the stairs, through the house and into the truck. They never used a hand-truck or dolly, and I didn't have 1 scratch because of it. They took immaculate care of our items. They paid such great attention to detail when it came to mattress covers, packing blankets, and plastic wrapping. We would definitely hire them back! read more

Movers asked for the payment code and bailed leaving the job unfinished. DON'T HIRE THEM they are SCAMMERS!!!

First, I want to say that I have NEVER used movers before and I have moved 7 times in the last 9 years. But after being married for a few years and accumulating a lot of big furniture, we decided it was best to hire movers. We only needed help moving the big furniture (including 3 regular sized couches) and I was not looking forward to paying someone else to do what I had been doing without movers for so long. I did a lot of research on yelp, and found most movers had the same complaints: people were charged more than they were quoted, furniture or walls were damaged and not reimbursed, movers were very late, or sometimes, did not show up at all! I got very anxious reading these reviews, and it almost made me reconsider hiring movers. But then I got to this page for Safe and Efficient Moving and saw all the glowing reviews and NONE of the complaints I mentioned above. I thought it was too good to be true. I even looked at the profiles of the reviewers to make sure they were real people and not fake reviews. (Yes, seriously). I figured that with reviews this good, they must be expensive. I was completely wrong. Out of all the quotes I received, Safe and Efficient Moving gave me the lowest quote, almost HALF the price of what other moving companies were quoting me, as well as HALF the time. Also, their one time fee was MUCH lower than most companies. Again, I thought it was too good to be true. But I decided to go ahead and book them. Flash forward to the day of the move: Prentiss and Corey not only showed up on time, but actually called me and said they could come earlier, as they had finished with their previous job early. This worked perfectly for us. They came, worked quickly and safely, did not damage a single thing and were very cautious with our furniture and the walls of the apartments. It took them almost exactly the time they said it would, even though we added a few items at the last minute. They were very polite and friendly and did not milk the clock at all. When they were done, I realized that I hadn't asked how they accept payment and asked if a check was okay. He said cash was better, which I think is reasonable, but our cash was back at the other apartment (about 10 min away). We asked if we could go get it and come back. They said that was fine. They waited patiently and hung out with our family while we went back. They did not charge us for the extra time it took for us to get cash. I would recommend these guys to anyone I know, and I believe they are the best movers in the St. Louis area! Thank you so much for making our move go smoothly! read more

Highly recommended! I had a last minute move and 2 weeks to prepare. They were able to help me with short notice. Out of all the companies I contacted, they gave me the lowest rate. AND what they quoted was what they billed me for. No hidden fees! Also, unlike other moving companies, they do not start the time from when they leave their headquarters. They were very careful with my items, and worked very quickly. Safe and Efficient Moving offers the best quality and price for the St. Louis and surrounding areas hands down. read more

Safe and efficient are only two of the words I would use to describe these guys! Prompt is another one. They showed up exactly on time, ready to start working. Efficient - they are what I call LEGO packers. They looked over what we had to move and made it fit together in the truck like LEGOs. We had rented our own truck and had no idea whether everything would fit but once they started packing it, it was easy to see that we had plenty of room. Safe - they advised us to have packing quilts, blankets and celophane wrap. They padded and wrapped everything and strapped it in place so it wouldn't shift during our 6 hour drive. Strong - they made the heavy furniture look like dollhouse furniture. They rarely used the handtruck that we provided and instead, lifted and carried each item to the truck. Friendly - they introduced themselves and talked to us about our move. Respectful - they called us ma'am and sir. Communicative - we sent texts back and forth to confirm the address, time, etc. I chose them because of the other excellent reviews they got on Yelp and I do not disagree with any of the reviews. I would use them again (although I hope to never move again!) read more

These guys moved me a few weeks back, and they were just perfect. Friends of mine had a poor experience with another moving company recently that they paid out the wazoo for, so I was soooo grateful to find an inexpensive option that didn't charge travel time or had a minimum on the time alotted. They were also super cool about the fact that I still needed to get some of the last things together while they were moving stuff out, and gamely dealt with my awful apartment complex. The two of them got me out of the one place and into the other in 3 hours flat. Nothing missing, nothing broken, not even my half-assed packing job on my dishes. Two thumbs way up! read more

Prentiss was fantastic. Had a move scheduled with them on a Monday, ended up having an emergency and needing them 2 days earlier. Called and he was there in less than an hour. Clean, courteous and quick. Will definitely use them again in the future read more

I hired these guys twice now for small load and unload jobs 2-3 hours. They are the best. Fast. They never milk the clock. They pack trucks and storage units like Russian intellectuals playing Tetrus. Punctual, courteous, and professional. They were able to help me with short notice. Very reasonably priced. read more

From answering my call right away, to fitting us into their schedule on short notice, to working straight through for six hours with no break, these guys are fantastic and highly recommended. Prentiss and Corey killed it and were professional, determined, and laser focused while remaining chill and friendly. They were careful, courteous, and the estimate was nearly spot on (within 30 minutes- on the short side). If you need to move, and you need help doing it, and you want personalized service, hire them and rest easy knowing you made the best choice. My referral won't stop here at yelp; I will tell all of my friends and family to hire S&E Moving because they earned the business. read more

I really wish that I could write a positive review about this company. Once the movers finally arrive to my apartment they were friendly, efficient, and quick. However, they were so late that I found their service not only annoying but also disrespectful. I solicited their services to move some bulky items from my old apartment in Urbana, Illinois to the house I currently rent in Urbana. I was told that the movers would meet me at my apartment once I retrieved the truck from U-Haul. My 9:30 appointment turned into my waiting most of the day for the movers to arrive. They finally showed up at 1:30 to move my belongings. They were so late that the manager stopped taking my calls and I had to try to struggle to move some of my items by myself until they arrived. NOT COOL! Use this company only if you have a very flexible schedule. read more

I wish I could give this company more than 5 stars. They were very prompt with communication and were able to help me with all of my moving needs. They were on time and worked so hard to get the job done. I will never use another company for moving services. A+ company!? read more

Where do I even start?! Safe and Efficient Movers were the best movers I've ever worked with! The team, Turran, Prentiss, and Corey, were professional, courteous, and calm. I was very stressed with the move and their calm demeanor and exceptional manners made the move a piece of cake. They were great with communication. Turran responded to my call on a Sunday and they were able to accommodate me with short notice. They even called when they were on their way and again just before they arrived. The prices were exactly as quoted and I didn't feel nickel and dimed at all. During the move my glass table broke. They were extremely careful with everything and this truly was an accident. They felt so bad and apologized over and over for it. I got two estimates for it and they reimbursed me within a week. They even downloaded Venmo because I use that instead of Paypal. They really are honest and do the right thing. I will definitely use them again for any future moves! read more

Hands down the best movers I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Efficient,courteous and a joy to be around . These guys would be star hires for any company. Their attitude and work ethic are not easily found in this day and age. The move went without a hitch. We have used them several times and they treat us like family and we we feel the same way. Keep them busy because they deserve all the business they can get. read more

Let me first say that I have never made the effort or time to write a review before, but I had such a good experience with Prentiss and Corey that I just had to. They not only were so pleasant to work with, but they were extremely careful with everything and really know what they are doing, making everything about the move truly safe and efficient! They were kind enough to help move a few difficult items that were not a part of the move itself at both the starting location and the destination. I really cannot recommend them more highly. read more

Prentiss leads a great team. All through the day they maintained their energy and took care with our things. He's gracious, earnest, and honest. Worth your trust. read more

While moving is usually a terrible and exhausting experience for everyone, Safe and Efficient Moving helped us get through it with ease. Prentiss and crew moved all of our large items with care, even in less than ideal conditions (rain, elevators, stairs, heat). I will absolutely call them again when the time comes and would recommend them to anyone! read more

My wife and I moved from 3 hours upstate IL to the Metro east area and Prentiss was immensely helpful. I had initial reservations as most my prior moves were either DITYs or through bidding sites e.g. Uship, but Safe and Efficient Moving had good reviews. Spoke to Prentiss 3-4 weeks before the scheduled move and he seemed upbeat, determined and confident. With good Yelp reviews behind him I took the plunge and we later agreed on an estimate. Prentiss and 2 of his workers drove the 3 hours from St. Louis day of the move, in a 26 footer; they packed up 10,000 lbs of goods, moved it all 3 hours south. Same day, they unpacked/reassembled everything we asked of his crew. Nothing broken; one small decorative piece with a backboard came loose and one of Prentiss' crew (both very respectful and hardworking) laid all out on the floor and spent ten minutes reassembling the piece. The weather was nail bitingly cold and the day did not finish until 1 a.m. Prentiss and his crew continued to work doggedly. It was an absolutely miserable day with the move, the work and the cold. But Prentiss and his crew were a tremendous blessing. They were awesome at a great price. He is on my personal contacts list and whatever my next move will be, my first shout out will be to him. read more

Highly recommended. Nice guys, very professional and courteous, were very careful with my furniture. These guys will be my go-to people for moving from here on out. read more

These guys are AMAZING! They showed up at our house on time, packed up the Uhaul we rented (even figured out how to get an impossibly large couch out of the house without a scratch), followed us 20 miles across town and got us moved in to our new place. With icy roads the night before, and rain turning to ice and sleet on moving day, our move would have been a disaster without Prentiss and Corey. They really are safe and efficient! read more
