I was moving from Joplin to NW Arkansas and needed items moved to a Joplin storage facility and my…read morenew place in NW AR. 5 Star Moving did great with the local move to the storage facility. 5 stars. The problems began with the move to AR. Four men showed up to pack up my stuff in Joplin. They underestimated the amount so had to wait for an additional trailer to pack most of the rest, this caused their truck to have issues climbing hills so it was over 2.5 hours to drive the 1.5 hour trip (I took a load in my truck too). For some reason, they decided to only send three men to unload! So after 12 hours they finally "finished" unloading. 5 Star did cap my rate at the maximum they estimated, but it could have been much less, I believe. The reason for the one star is that because of the delays and length of time for the three men unloading, they weren't able to reassembly the beds and furniture as they included in the estimate, and 50+% of my items are scratched, dented, missing parts, or broken! I would only use this company for local moves...nothing outside of the Joplin metro. Todd J

It is not too much to ask of a business owner to care about what his employee did to a client. My…read moregoal with this review has always been to warn all women to RECORD EVERYTHING and do not be alone if you can help it anytime you have strange men in your home. Bison was hired by DVIS (Domestic Violence Intervention Services) to get me safely out of my home last August 2025 and Bison failed to provide this. I did everything I was supposed to do and reported what happened to DVIS. That former case mgr told me to call Bison. This in the middle of an out-of-town relocation for my own safety and during recovery from two illnesses while experiencing DV. The owner has the audacity to suggest on Yelp 2 things: That I was reaching out to him (reframing) and that I was somehow responsible for what took place, which is a very interesting way to look at things. In truth, I reached out to the business the week before moving day because I knew I wasn't going to be ready for them to move everything by that Friday. The DVIS case manager, who is a good friend of the business owner (her words) told me to call them and asked for extra help. I have chronic Lyme disease and was recovering from mononucleosis (reactivated Epstein Barr virus due to extreme stress). I'm also a senior. Bison Moving said they had no availability. I was left with no one to turn to for help. The business owner has recently stated on here that he fired his employee, J, over the incident. Good to know -- when I called to speak to the owner in Sept 2025, I was met with hostility and no update. But this predator is still out there somewhere, stated to me that he'd worked there for 5 years, and was 27 at the time. He still felt comfortable enough to text me a week after the move "to check on me and see if I needed any more help". It was scary. He showed no anxiety while in my home on that Friday and Saturday, was very superficially charming and arrogant. He had likely done this before and will likely do it again, only next time it may be worse. Women -- take precautions with all strange men coming into your home. You must protect yourselves from these types because they're everywhere right now. Bison Moving's crew walked into my home knowing why they were there -- J expressed his sympathy and asked for a hug first thing, and it felt icky. He knew I was vulnerable, exhausted, and desperate because he knew DVIS had contracted the move. They all knew. He later asked if he could take his shirt off. I fed two of the crew members because one of them told me he had not even eaten before showing up to work and responded that he was hungry when I asked. And I worked right alongside them, even though I was very ill. At the end of that day when we were all on the elevator, J asked me if I was going to give them a big tip. It was a horrible experience all around. And then J showed up the next day since he just happened to be free on Saturday -- to use more coercive control and assault me, and make some good cash. He told me it was fine with Bison and he did it all the time. He was the team leader and the other two guys said nothing. Fortunately, another company was hired to finish the job at a later date by moving me to my actual new city, and they were fantastic. Zero issues, I felt safe and they exhibited total professionalism, so it is possible.

Worst moving experience of my life. Misquoted grossly, ended up paying about $400 more than quoted…read more Was told I needed 2 guys at $80 an hour for about four hours, at 8:30pm the night before my move I got an EMAIL saying they were sending 3 guys at $120 an hour. My move took from 9:45am- 3pm with those guys. 5 hours. My bed frame and bookshelf are completely broken, and my dresser damaged. Holes in boxes marked fragile. Go with a company that will come give you a free estimate after looking at your home. Don't use these guys. I've moved a lot and this was terrible. Waiting to see how long the claim takes, will update review with how the claims process goes. Edit (5/16): claim submitted on May 11th. Will update when I have more information. Currently sleeping on a mattress on the floor due to having a broken bed. Edit (8/20): They finally got back to me on my claim. Denied. They sent me an addendum to the contract. The fine print says they literally don't cover anything. No wood, no glass, no electronics, no appliances...so your "insured" move is a scam. They also claim to hire veterans, but the guys they sent out to me were most definitely not.

Being a military veteran myself, a moving company that specifically brags about hiring veterans and sending them to help you move seemed like a great idea! I tried to go to their website... my anti-virus software warned me that it was listed as a "compromised" site. Hmmm... I tried calling them... no answer. Hmmm... Then I noticed that Yelp has them as located in... Mexico?? That can't be right, since they are a Denver based moving company! Luckily, I happen to have a bit of knowledge about how the government works, as well as some past experience working with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC). My good buddies over at Ramblin' Express bus company know all about how much I love filing complaints with the PUC! And a few tow truck companies have encountered some trouble thanks to me as well... So I head over to the PUC website and look up Special Ops Moving's license number... low and behold, it has been REVOKED! It is currently illegal for Special Ops Moving to conduct any business in the state of Colorado! Guess that explains why they don't want to answer their phones, huh?

This included packing, disassembling furniture and moving everything from one 2nd floor unit to another 2nd floor unit, the second of which they were not allowed access to the elevator. We hired a crew of 3 for the day. They worked hard and were very helpful. We did end up paying more than planned, but I chalk that up to the fact my in laws had done even less packing than we had expected, and they had more items than we realized, so time added up. They also came back at the end of the week to move a handful of things from storage, including very heavy, full filing cabinets of genealogy paperwork that is important to my FIL.

They never once made me feel rushed or like I was inconveniencing them, and they stayed so positive, kind, and helpful the entire time. They went above and beyond, helping me with every random little thing that came up like finding me a stand on amazon that would fit my tv and giving me opinions on my decor when I needed advice. Just genuinely such nice people and such a great experience. I'm incredibly grateful for how accommodating and helpful they were, especially on such short notice. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone and would use them again in a heartbeat!

We requested two trucks and four movers. They initially could not get the contract correct and it…read morehad conflicting information where we were getting one truck and two movers on one side of the document and two trucks and two movers document and they tried to reassure me that I was actually getting two trucks and four movers and I was trying to clearly communicate that this is a contractual agreement and that there's conflicting information and the contract needs to be correct. It took three attempts before the contract was actually written correct correctly. But that didn't matter because they were supposed to be there between six and 630 on a hot August day and they arrived at about 640 with one truck. I specifically asked if they were full-time workers or hired and they shared with me they were full-time and they also shared that they had their own moving trucks and they actually showed up in a U-Haul truck. Of course at this point when you're ready to move an entire house they kind of have you over a bend and they realize this so I had three movers and one truck and I made a phone call and I talked with the Oklahoma City manager, not the initial person out of Tulsa and he was very like well things happen, you know we're doing our best we have to pivot, blah, blah, blah blah blah, and they can go get another truck you know, U-Haul doesn't open until seven. They had a truck breakdown and they knew they didn't have their own moving truck last week. So again he kept saying well we can go wait at U-Haul but it's gonna slow down your move and we could get started and go ahead and get them going. Yada yada yada basically blew us off so we had one truck and three guys they started and they did move at a fairly consistent, slow pace. So they filled up one truck and if they would've had the second truck there we could've kept going. But what they had to do was they had to take an hour and 25 minutes to go get the second truck and they acted like well. it's really not a big deal but it actually is because if they would've had the second truck, they could've taken their hour lunch and then we could've gotten ahead of the game by 25 extra minutes. They were one supervisor type person and two younger guys, and then the third younger guy came along at 9:15. I called the owner Corey and all I got was things happen and we have to pivot and protocol this and protocol that and protocol this and he said they should communicate with you when the fourth guy is coming and there was no communication and he said well our protocol says this there is no communication. One of the young men dinged our Wall my husband ended up, going to Walmart to get some plaster and fixing it and painting it Someone else broke a lamp. And then one of the gentlemen opened our glass door too hard and the little thing that you slide to keep the glass door open broke. At this point, we just wanted them to leave. We did get a $100 discount for the hole in the wall and they are "ordering a lamp that should be there Tuesday or Wednesday we shall see. I really liked Corey the one from Tulsa, but he's a salesman and just be mindful of that. Jacob in Oklahoma City could give a rats behind. It was a debacle from the start. I had one young man who was dropping the F bomb in my home the other one his pants were literally falling down because he forgot to wear a belt. It just wasn't a great experience at all moving as stressful enough, but they certainly knew they had you over the barrel and when they just act like they don't care and that's my opinion, it makes it even worse. We end up tipping the movers. It's a hot August day over 100° took him a long time but my point being they knew they weren't gonna have two trucks for the contract and I think that's just shady. I would not recommend them based on my experience and my personal opinions .
