    Kept calling me over and over. I couldn't reach Erika or anyone I had spoken to before.

    Worst Nightmare! This company presents itself as professional, takes your deposit, and once they have your furniture demands a much higher price! I had communicated thoroughly and clearly. Sent pictures of all items. Counted boxes, gave the final count and got a final price from Erika. Today the movers (5 men) arrived at my house, loaded everything into their truck that already had someone else's items in the back, and called me. They said that instead of my move costing the original $2967, or the updated $3604, it was going to be over $6000. "Will" with his extremely strong Hispanic accent, wanted me to ok this or he was going to unload my stuff back into the house. With it being the end of the month they may have thought that I was under pressure to move out right away. Nope. I had already agreed to pay the month of February rent, so I told them to unload it. Id rather find new movers who have integrity and do what they say they're going to do, and don't try to hold their clients personal items hostage. They didn't put my belongings back into the house, but left them out in my garage to the rats and exposure to weather.

    I cannot say enough horrible things about our experience with Bison Relocation. We reached out after seeing an ad on Facebook. The initial quote was given after we went over everything in the house to be moved. We added a few things to the estimate a few days before moving day and the estimate was adequately adjusted. We were told that the crew would disassemble all furniture, TV's etc and wrap and load and would then unload and reassemble at our new home. I On moving day 6 guys showed up, one clearly in charge and 5 other workers. They began to disassemble and wrap everything. One worker had his music blaring on his phone while he sang along. Several of the workers only spoke Spanish, they had no clue that I also speak Spanish and they 'joked' and made disparaging remarks about my husband as they packed up our house (my husband does not speak Spanish and I did not tell him what they were saying until they were gone because I didn't need him confronting them). After everything was moved out of the house and onto the driveway the guy in charge came in and asked us to step outside. Half of our stuff was on the truck, many things still remained to be loaded, all of which were on our inventory list. He told us that we had reached our limit and anything further loaded on the truck would cost extra. Of course we needed all of our stuff, washer/dryer etc so we did the only thing we could do and told him to load it. After they finished loading he informed us that we owed an EXTRA $3,000 for going over our estimated space. Again, every single thing they hauled was on our inventory list prior to moving day. They know they have you by the short hairs because you need you stuff and have not made any arrangements for a Uhaul or other form of transport because we hired them to move all of our stuff. He then told us they would be leaving that same day, delivery was marked ASAP, it would be hauled in the truck they loaded it on and no other customers would have stuff on that truck. Fast forward to the day he said it would arrive, we called the moving company since we hadn't heard anything and were advised it would be another 5-6 days before our stuff arrived. We waited a couple days and called again, dispatch had the driver call us directly to answer our question of arrival date, he said he was in New Mexico and wouldn't arrive for 3-4 more days. He also informed us he was in an 18 wheeler (our stuff was originally loaded onto a 32' truck and we were told that's what it would stay and what it would be delivered in). Another lie. The driver told us it didn't look like we could handle a semi delivery to our home without blocking the road (not many people can if you live in a neighborhood) however we had no idea the delivery would be in a semi. The driver told us that if he couldn't pull up to the house it would be an additional $1000 for them to rent a smaller truck, move our things to that truck and deliver it. We told them we would not be paying any additional money, he would have to block the road and unload at our driveway. When he finally arrived he VERY begrudgingly blocked the road and unloaded along with 3 other guys. There had been an add placed on Craigslist giving our address looking for help to unload and those were the helpers that arrived. They brought things inside and assembled some things but the driver refused to reassemble several items even though we were told the price included reassembly at the new home. All the knobs on our washer AND dryer were broken off and both machines unusable. Our roll top desk was caved in and would no longer roll open. They stripped the screws on our bed frame during disassembly, every box I have unpacked so far has had something broken in it. Too many things broken to list here. The driver spoke to everyone very aggressively and made snide comments about the helpers and the State we live in. He had me write down the things I had seen that were broken and was discouraging me from marking all of the items that were broken saying that I have a better chance of my claim being processed if I only put the most important items down. He said that the people that packed up our home were just 'telling us what we wanted to hear' when asked why they weren't reassembling all items as agreed. He refused to take away the cardboard and plastic the company had used to wrap our furniture. There are just so many things I could go on and on. If you value your items and your money DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They are clearly running a racket and out to grab money from families who are in a tough spot knowing they need all of their stuff hauled and unable to make other arrangements on moving day.

    First of all, pre-sales pitch was okay. Then you entrust them with everything. Before realizing that this company doesn't really care about your things. Whether everything is delivered or not. When you call them back to ask for receipt after money is given they'll promise to call you back and take care of your concern. But that's gonna take forever. Sometimes they answer your call, and voila! They're talking to somebody from another phone for their next client. Three boxes didn't arrive. They said they still have it in their possession. They don't know when to deliver it.

    The police got involved so we can get our stuff off the truck.

    Don't be scammed by this company, the price more than doubled from the initial quote. The gentleman in charge added a $3500 cancellation fee to the signed contract after my daughter signed it and tried to say it was done before. The photos speak for themselves. It is though they think they have you by the balls because you're moving that you'll just sign it and pay the extra they quote you. He also called me crazy because he didn't know my name. I was not mean or crazy. He needs some Jesus in his life!

Thank you so much Ross and crew!! I HIGHLY recommend Roadway Moving! The experience with Roadway started off great! They were attentive, and the personal care for our move was so nice. We loved our movers and they took amazing care of our belongings! UNTIL... the moving truck hit the gate at my boyfriends apartment building. At first they were great about it. Someone reached out and took all the information, reached out to the management company of the building etc. The management company sent a quote to Roadway for the damage, and we thought everything was in the works, and all would be taken care of. Well, its been over a month since our move, and after MANY emails, texts and phone calls we have not heard a PEEP from Roadway. This is unbelievably unprofessional, frustrating, and SO disappointing after the move itself was such a great experience. I am writing this review to hopefully get the attention of someone at Roadway, and get this taken care of immediately. Understandably the building wants to get this fixed, and supposedly someone from Roadway is suppose to come and asses the damage...but we have never heard from anyone. They are holding my boyfriends security deposit, and now I am afraid that if they get it fixed without roadways physical assessment of the damage, that roadway won't cover the damages at all and we will get stuck paying for it. THIS SUCKS. Time to step up Roadway! ....and step up they did! Great customer service!

    I contacted NorthStar about three weeks before I was set to move. The entire pre-moving process was…read moreeasy and efficient. We set up a video call to review the pieces of furniture that needed to be moved and number of boxes. They sent over an estimate which was reasonable. When the day of the move came, I was shocked at how careful and quickly the guys wrapped and loaded the truck. They treated everything with more care than some of my junky stuff deserved. It was a hot day (90+) but the guys didn't let that slow them down. They packed up a two bedroom apartment in a little under 3 hours. When I met them at the new place they put everything in the right place and reassembled tables and desks. Moving is always stressful so I'm incredibly happy I called NorthStar!

At the beginning of the process, I worked with Anna to do a video walkthrough of my space and I showed her what we would be moving. She took down inventory and within a few hours gave me a quote. She was very easy to work with and got me scheduled for a move the following week. I was given a 2 hour time frame that the guys would show up and we got a call right at the beginning of the window with their ETA. We had a wall of boxes packed up and I left the room for ~10 minutes and came back to see they had packed up all of it into the truck! That would have taken me weeks! They were careful to wrap our furniture and handled it well when getting it out. I was nervous about moving our fridge but it was like nothing for them. (Tip: you do have to empty your fridge to move it so have some coolers and ice ready to transport your food!) Once we arrived at the new place, they showed the same care with unpacking and made sure we were happy with the placement of each item. They reassembled our bed and it feels more sturdy than I had it before the move so I know they did it right. Moving is so stressful and being able to trust a team to handle the heavy lifting is the way to go. They are truly professionals! I will be using them again for any future move!

They were friendly and respectful, so patient with our kids as they wandered a little too close to the action, and handled everything with care.

Honestly, I barely broke a sweat all day because they were so efficient! They took what would have been a very stressful move and made it feel organized and manageable. I'd absolutely hire them again and highly recommend them to anyone planning a move!

Gregory, our onsite lead, was responsive, well organized, and his four-person crew worked very hard. My advice to anyone moving is to be realistic about how much stuff you have. I got three quotes. One company estimated one-and-a-half 27-foot trucks, while Royal and another company estimated one 27-foot truck. My move-out apartment was 895 sq ft with a large patio. Before moving day, I made two 10-foot Home Depot truck trips myself with the delicate and bulky items: my electric bike, Peloton, and other things that don't stack well. Royal filled a 27-foot truck with everything else, efficiently using all the available space. We did go a little over the estimate because of rush-hour traffic. The only part I didn't enjoy was the payment app prompting for a tip at checkout. After a long moving day, that was one unnecessary stress point because I never know what's considered an appropriate tip for professional movers. Fortunately, I had already planned ahead with cash tips and cold Gatorades for the crew throughout the day. I highly recommend Royal Movers. They made a difficult move much easier. I also gained a whole new respect for my son, his friend, and my old girlfriend, who helped me move the last time. And ChatGPT-5.5, who helped me figure out which movers to get an estimate from, the tip beforehand, and helped edit this review

The problem? I made this decision a week before my lease was up! I was scrambling to figure out my plans--what to do with my dog, where I'd go next, and what to do with all my stuff. My original movers fell through, but thankfully, I found 4US Moving Company at the last minute. From the moment I called, their team was incredibly understanding and helpful. They booked me for exactly when I needed, even with short notice. Alan and Akzhol showed up right on time with a great attitude and got straight to work. They brought their own tools, helped disassemble furniture, and even used shrink wrap to protect my bed frame and couches. I appreciated how calm, patient, and respectful they were throughout the process. Their communication was excellent, and I felt like I could trust them with my belongings. By the time the last item was loaded, I was beyond impressed. They worked so hard and made a stressful situation feel manageable. I'll definitely be using 4US Moving Company again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone who needs efficient and reliable movers.
