Swift Movers - TV Stand Assembled and TV - Movers Near Me

Swift Movers showed up a hour and a half wait. They wouldnt answer or return our calls beforehand. The movers dragged our bed frames across our hardwood (right in front of me!) and put permanent scratches in our floors on the second and first floor. Swift movers broke our daughter's desk, our dishes, and put gauges in our walls. They also ripped the trim out of our upstairs and didn't mention it to us. They ignored us when we told them about it and could care less that this may drive our buyers away from the house we moved out of. They also left behind two full pick up truck loads of stuff which didn't include our stand up freezer which we couldn't go back and get b/c we couldn't fit it in our car. Austin said they were coming with two trucks, but they showed up with one. Besides getting high every other hour in our driveway, they charged us $400 more even after we bought them lunch and gave them an $80 tip. After Loading from our old house, they disappeared for a couple of hours. The house they were meeting us at took them an extra 1 1/2 to make it too. Talk about a total disaster. read more

Be warned. I'm not sure how else to get a hold of Austin because they don't answer the phone and have no voicemail. He took our money as a down payment but never showed up to move the furniture. I had to scramble to find someone else. Now it's been months and he stills owes us hundreds of dollars. He said his band account was empty and a family member just died and he lost his keys .... Not a professional. read more

Requested 4 guys for two hours. Basically Austin and one other guy worked. The other ones played or were on their phone. We had set a time at 3pm. Austin text to say they would be here at 5pm because another job went late. At 5:15pm I had to text and ask what time they would be here. He said they were 25 minutes out. At 6pm they finally showed up. By 6:30 they all started working after their bathroom breaks. At 7:15 they all went on break for 20 minutes. I get it's a long day. It if you can't handle a job please don't schedule it. They also tried to finish loading the truck but didn't even get close to getting everything in. Thoroughly disappointed in the work or lack thereof and I would not recommend Swift Movers. read more

Moved my son and his roommate within 24 hours of my phone call from one dorm to another. They then moved other kids too without any notice. They were super nice and accommodating. Definitely use them. read more

Moved us from the suburbs to downtown Syracuse. Everything was great about our move; nothing missed, nothing broken Guys worked hard and always hustled. Everybody was polite, helpful, and fun to work with. Prices are competitive, especially since they are well staffed. I would hire them again. read more

Austin priced us quite reasonably and was well under some competitors. I knew he was a small business person getting started, so took a risk after reading some good reviews (skipped over the bad ones) and speaking with him over the phone. I did have some concerns when I tried to reach out to confirm the week of the move and there was no voicemail setup and I had already given him a large deposit. But he responded to texts. The next red flag was when he asked again for the addresses, even after exchanging emails with all the pertinent information. The day of the move he was supposed to arrive at 9 am in Ithaca to my in-laws who had organized everything for the movers. Our contents were a small bedroom set and boxes that needed to arrive at my place in Harrisburg that afternoon. No show at 10, 11, and so on. No response to texts or calls. Finally he got back to me at 1:15 pm that day. Here is his response: "I am so sorry. I locked my house keys, phone and everything in my car late last night. I just got to my belonging. I can give you your money back or we can be there to load in a hour." I don't know if any of that was true, but he did not meet his end of the obligation that I paid for. I no longer trusted him and also I had prior engagements that I could not accommodate the new moving time. He proceeded to beg me over texts with over 20 messages to let him make it right. He even mentioned that a family member just died, which is what I saw in another review on the site. Red flag again. But if that was true, I am truly sorry for the loss; however I just wanted my refund. After accepting the fact that I no longer wanted his services, he has gone back to ghosting me. NO refund in sight and no response to calls or texts. This was a highly unprofessional experience and I hope that he is able to take responsibility, refund the money, and have better success down the road, should he decide to stay in the business. But I will not work with this company again. I would warm you to be cautious as well. read more

Overall, I was super-pleased. They're fast, they're strong, they're upbeat and fun guys, and sometimes it seems like they can bend the laws of physics when moving stuff around. The booking stage *was* a little rough. Austin was slow to respond for like, three days in a row, and that rubbed me the wrong way at first. HOWEVER, once we confirmed, everything from that point forward was aces. What I didn't realize is that Austin is not only the business owner (in charge of booking)... he's also out there loading and driving the truck every day. While I respect his hustle, he's *got* to get a dedicated booking person on his team, because that's the only thing in the way of him taking over the region. If I'd felt as great about it at the beginning as I did at the end, this would've been a no-brainer five star experience. read more

The three young folks they sent to move our stuff worked their butts off! They were polite, respectful, and careful with our stuff. Got an entire large POD unloaded in less than two hours. They did a great job. Note, though: please make sure your employees are provided with masks? I'm immunocompromised, and I had to give two of them masks. We wore ours to protect them, but it works best when everybody has one. I know it's hard when people are doing heavy manual labor, but we have to keep each other safe! read more

I'm in the middle of the move right now, and if it improves, I'll change my rating and review. I chose these movers because they had great reviews, but so far I'm not impressed. Booking was easy and quick, and Austin was very responsive, so far that's all that's been going well. He said they'd be here at 9 this morning. At 9:15 there's no one here, so I text to ask if they're coming. Austin said "Yes I apologize My brother died and I had to move a lot of things around The guys are grabbing some last minute supplies at uhaul and will be there I am also working on getting 4or 5 movers for that your move took two truck loads and I want everything to go smooth." If that's true, it sucks I caught him on a real bad day, but this is still our life here they're moving. The movers eventually show up at 10:45am. There's two guys and one truck. They start working, but it's a little slow. A third guy comes about an hour later and they continue to work slowly. They're not being real careful and have already broken a mirror. Then they break for lunch at 1, less than two hours later, and leave with less than half the truck loaded and all our things out of the storage unit and just lying in the street. I talked to Austin, he said he's gonna have a "halftime speech" with his guys to get them straight, but he's not here. So we'll see. And that's where I am right now. They've been gone for about an hour for lunch. Austin knew we had two storage units to move today, but at this rate, we'll be lucky to finish one. As I said, I'll update this if things change and improve. read more

I have moved it by means of this company before 20days ago. After finishing it, I asked for the receipt for move-in fee. But, this company is not still response it. I can not understand it. If the manager of Swift movers sees this message, I will wait for your response asap!! Let me know the your email address asap!! read more

Spoke with Austin and he was helpful and flexible so I hired him for my small move. I had an issue and had to slightly change the time. Swift was right there exactly on time. They made quick work of the job and always wore their masks. Delivery at the new location was just as efficient. They do whole house and long-distance moves, too. You can't do better than hiring Swift! read more

These folks are amazing!! Really great service and people. Can say enough good about Swift movers!!! You won't be disappointed!

This is an update to a one star review. I tried to edit. The customer service level of this business is extremely good. From top to bottom, I was treated with respect, and my needs met quickly. The service was excellent, the movers exceeded my expectations. The lack of a five star comes from a billing issue which was resolved within one hour. read more

Did a great job moving in the furniture. Appreciated the help especially during this time. read more

Swift Movers - Movers Near Me

These guys are great. Thanks for the help. After a long trip these guys were there to help me unload my truck. They were courteous and on time. Experts at what they do. Thanks guys. read more

I would never recommend this company to anyone. We had a number of issues with damage to our furniture, appliances and damage to our new neighbors lawn that Austin the owner of Swift was going to resolve. He was suppose to call the owner of the damage lawn to repair the damage his truck caused, but never made any attempt to contact them. Swift damaged our washing machine and our new leather love seat and couch and never made any offer to reimburse us for damages his company caused. Austin talks a big game but he's small time. Austin, and his company Swift Movers are terrible, worst moving company in the Syracuse area. Stay away from them. read more

Austin and Noel did an excellent job moving a very heavy and awkward family heirloom out of one tight space and into another. They were professional and got the job done without any damage to the piece. Would absolutely hire them again. read more

Zero stars if possible because THEY DIDN'T SHOW UP. We emailed, spoke on the phone, texted, and confirmed the move time both by email and text. I texted four times checking in, got no response. It sounds like these guys do a decent job sometimes but they can't if they don't show up. This is the single most unprofessional and irresponsible moving company anyone could possibly imagine. Edit/add: eight hours after missing our confirmed appointment I have gotten no information, acknowledgment, explanation, or apology. Very unprofessional. read more

Swift Movers - Email confirmation of move date and time. - Movers Near Me

See all

I just moved today and this was my first time hiring movers. I have moved quite a few times in the last few years and I will never do it without movers again! They ran a little bit behind but communicated about it early and consistently. When they arrived they got all of my stuff loaded up in less than half an hour and unloaded at my new place very quickly as well. They were professional and super friendly throughout the process. Their price was significantly lower than any of the other moving places that I got quotes from. I will use these guys for any future moves and I will recommend them to friends and family without hesitation. (Plus they were unfazed by my crazy barking dogs. They even said it was ok to uncrate them. And if someone is nice to my dogs they are instantly on my "you have my business forever" list) read more

DO NOT HIRE SWIFT MOVERS #GHOSTED #UNPROFESSIONAL #UNRELIABLE I booked my moving with Austin from Swift Movers more than a month in advance. One week from the move in date, I called to reconfirm the booking and I am reassured the moving guys will be there on the said date and time. However he raised the truck charges by $20 this time. I let it pass and shared the address and other details. One day before the moving date I text for a final conformation and I am assured everything is on track and the moving guys will be there next morning. The day of moving he never showed up and ghosted on me. Didn't pick my calls and no response to messages. I tried calling from a different phone no. which he picked up and gave a lame excuse of "No available trucks". I ended up doing the whole moving in myself as this useless, highly unprofessional joke of a company never showed up. I implore you to not trust this guy and make your moving experience more difficult than it is supposed to be. Hire someone who is more reliable and shows up. read more

Austin and his crew were very courteous and professional. They came masked and followed Covid protocol. We were very happy with the move and would recommend them highly. read more

Trust your gut. Super cheap compared to everyone else, but there is a reason why. It's a toss up if you're stuff is going to get moved on time. read more

I'll be honest I was a little nervous booking then because they only require 2hr minimum. Most movers require 4. I had booked early and would check in with Austin over the time leading up to the move. They were late but they explained they had a late job last night that ended at 2:30am. They were extremely efficient and professional. Very friendly and work really hard. I've used other moving companies and they spend most of their time on their phone and smoking. Not these guys. They were absolutely amazing and I highly recommend them!! Excellent work!! I wish I could give them 10 stars !! read more

Austin and crew was able to help me out on short notice and was flexible on when my moving pods were delivered. They unloaded the pods quickly but safely. They also put my bed together and were professional and friendly. I'd highly recommend them. read more

I called and spoked with someone, they told me they would have gotten back to me that they got me . And no one did i called on two different occasions using different numbers because i taught they were blocking my Calls from my cell phone and nothing..So yeah Thanks for nothing. A simple i can not do the job would have been the better way to handle the situation . read more

Gave me one flat rate price over Yelp and then when I called to confirm he increased the price by $1000! I asked for an itemize list of the new increased price breakdown, since no details from my Yelp estimate had change to require such a ridiculous price increase. After saying he would send it to me the same day, it's been two weeks and no word. At the end of the day I'm glad I trusted my gut and knew this company was just trying to get the most money out of me. If I can't trust your word why would I ever trust you with my stuff. Extremely disappointed read more

These guys are the absolute greatest . I tried and tried to find a company to move us . They either needed way too much lead time or they were outrageously priced . When we suddenly had to cancel and reschedule due to a medical emergency , Austin said it was no problem and we did it the next day These guys are the only moving company I will ever use . They were fast , efficient , Covid compliant , and the nicest people you could ask for They get 10+ stars from me ! read more

These guys were amazing. I called them last minute as I was moving from CT to Ithaca and had pulled out my back. I decided it was a smart idea to have someone there when we pulled up with the 20ft uhaul to help unload it up 2 flights of stairs. They worked their ass off and were able to finish everything within an hour. Good guys, efficient, strong, and hard working. Highly recommend!! read more

All were great to work with! Austin returned every phone call and text in a timely fashion, kept every promise and executed the job to perfection! Highly recommend and will definitely use again when the need arises! read more

I don't usually write reviews but I felt so impressed by Swift Movers that I am. They were great!! So nice and professional and trustworthy too. We were very impressed with their nice and professional team. They handled our furnishings with care and were fair with a price. We would definitely use them again. read more

Excellent experience using these young men. Prompt, professional, courteous, cordial, timely, great attention to detail !! Great experience !! Thank you Austin to you and your great team !!! :-) read more

I would give Austin a thousand stars if i could!! He and his team work over and beyond. They are very hard working, honest, respectful and don't give up when something doesn't fit because the homeowner didn't measure. Very reasonable. And they come with a really good attitude, humor and are personable. Highly recommend and would Def use them again!! Thank you Austin and your team read more

We needed to move some heavy furniture in a hurry. Austin was able to assembly a team quickly, within 48 hours, and get everything moved for us. The team was great! And then we found out we needed them again, and they got us a team together with less than 24 hours and did the additional job. We were very pleased with their ability to help us. read more

We moved from Texas and had Swift Movers unload our vans. It was a tough job with heavy lifting but those men did a great job . They are hard working, very pleasant and professional. Austin the owner was honest and his quote was accurate. I am very pleased with Swift Movers. read more

Super friendly, super quick, very reliable. Made moving so much easier. Highly recommend.

Highly unprofessional. The owner took days to respond and turned his phone off without a voicemail message box. He said he would deliver our couch within a half hour time window. Fifteen minutes after he was scheduled to arrive, we try to call for an ETA but we were sent directly to voicemail. We called the furniture store to see if the couch had been picked up only to discover that they don't allow for furniture pick-ups on that day. I would not recommend this business. We took time off of work to meet the movers and were highly dissatisfied that we couldn't get in touch with them. Unprofessional business that should not be used. Glad we didn't pay the deposit. read more

They were the best! Very professional and very accommodating. Kept me informed every step of the way concerning my delivery. Will definitely hire again. read more

Had a treadmill delivered and the guys were not able to get it upstairs where I wanted it. Austin responded the same day, moved it up the stairs with no problem at all. Great service and hustle! read more
