    I am a non-profit leader in Abilene. Our non profit acquired 6 executive bookcases. The owner was selling them at $250 each. He sold two of them for $100 each as a token payment and donated the remaining 4. The value of the 6 bookcases was $1,500. Our organization bought and had these bookcases donated in order to put a library in a small school for foster kids in Abilene. I hired The Moving Guys over the phone. No one told me that I had to sign a contract. I texted the pick up address and the delivery address. I was quoted $150 an hour for 2 guys. I asked if they wrapped furniture and was assured that they wrapped each piece in blankets. I also asked that the non fixed shelves be removed so they did not fall out during transport and break. Was assured that was normal. Next day, got a call and an hour later got another of a frantic driver. He had picked up the bookcases and used ONE strap to hold them up in the truck.He hit a bump or a dip in the road and the strap snapped. As a result 3 of the book cases were "smashed" as he said on the phone. He arrived 30 minutes later and when I demanded compensation he said they do 60 cents per pound per USDOT rules. I fought. He offered me $200 cash from his wallet "cause that is what the owner said you paid for them." I explained that it was mostly a donation. He accused me of lying and told me he called the previous owner and I only paid him $200. I explained that the owner got a tax receipt, etc. for the value. I asked to take photos of the stuff in the truck. He refused and closed the truck door. I told him to call the owner. He refused. I asked for the number. he refused. He asked if I wanted it unloaded and I said not until we resolve compensation. He eventually drove off around 930 AM. He ghosted me the rest of the day till around 130 I text AGAIN and said that if the owner did not call me immediately I was going to the BBB and police. Owner called 10 minutes later. She was angry and rude. Deflected everything. Called me a liar. Told me to accept the $200 and move on. Thy could not wrap their mind around the fact that just because they were donated to our organization that does not mean they have zero value. She said they had no value cause I paid nothing for them. They were free. However, value is not calculated like that...value is what it would be to replace them. We committed these to the school. We told the school. Now, we will have to fundraise to buy new bookcases. It is obvious that the owner has zero business skill or knowledge. Definitely not a spirit of compassion. Finally, she agreed to come with driver and deliver the bookcases and discuss reimbursement. She arrived and got out and was immediately rude. Terry Fields is by far the most unprofessional and rudest woman I have ever met. I had my phone in my hand and she immediately asked if I was recording. I said I was not. She said, "I dont care what you post online. " Driver and owner both told me that they had been in business for 20 years and had a great reputation in Abilene. Their trucks are falling apart, peeled paid...honestly, it appears that the owner just doesn't care about her business. In the end, I was not charged for delivery and I accepted the $200. Half of the bookcases were destroyed. So, here I am posting online. They are frauds. They are liars. They are deflectors.

    Scratched up door frame.

    Agreed to show up at 1 pm. Showed up at 8:30 am, when we weren't ready for them. Broke several of the lids on our storage totes. Scratched up the door frame of our front door pretty bad while moving furniture into our house. Had a friend use them shortly after and had a similar experience. When I called to tell them about the issues, I got told they would check into it and get back to me, then I got ignored every subsequent time after that when I tried to get in touch with them. The movers were friendly, and I know things happen sometimes during a move, but they didn't even offer to make it right. Left us feeling frustrated and upset that we used them. Absolutely would steer everyone away from this company.

    Damage on furniture.
    Queen W.

    "The Abilenian Effect Series: The Moving Guys" I was referred to the Moving Guys. First, I called to schedule service. The person on the other end stated the more guys we hire, the cheaper it'll be because it'll take less time. So, my husband and I agreed to 4 guys for $150/hr. They arrived with only 3 guys because one called out. I was at our new residence and my husband was at the previous residence. We only wanted one heavy box moved (books) and all furniture, as we were moving everything else with our cars. We only needed hands for the heavy stuff. To my mistake, I tipped each of them as gratuity for their service before my husband brought my attention to one of the pieces of furniture with multiple ding marks and a chip in the same place that wasn't there before. The "team lead" got on the phone with his boss and vehemently denied they did damage--this was after I tipped them! The boss offered a nominal amount to pay for the damage. The amount they gave for the damage would only hide the damage by a marker. If we want permanent recourse, we'd pay for a replacement ourselves. Why would I trump up allegations for damage if I tipped gratuity? Later that day, we saw a chip on another furniture piece that wasn't there before, but we had already paid and they were long gone. Angering and disappointing. You'd think we should get a discount because with it being 3 guys, the job took longer, which in effect costs more money. All in all, we paid $400 plus tips for damages on 2 pieces of furniture. Rating: They get two stars because they were on time and one of the guys admitted to the damage we saw on the dining table and was sounded empathetic. But, we were told 4 guys, not 3, and so that was more expensive. Also, they seem overworked and have no days off we were told by one of them. My take is this: if you have expensive furniture, like, furniture you bought from a reputable furniture store (and not something you got from a department store and had to assemble yourself) The Moving Guys WILL NOT be the company to go to.

We messaged him, called him, then he blocked all of our numbers, Made only excuses said he would send us a contact saying that he would pay to have it fixed, then 5 days later hasn't sent anything then said he isn't going to sign anything because he doesn't know if the damage was done before the move then told us that it was a side gig even though we called during business hours and he came during business hours, and he told us that he brought "Random people from Home Depot that needed work" he never notified that this wasn't his business, nor that he wasn't bringing professional help. We are suing for damages. He would not give Insurance, an email, and blocked the numbers. He told us that he didn't sign a contract even though we have Verbal and text messages which is a contract. I highly doubt he has insurance because he refused to hand it over but we will find that out in court. We had more blankets and were extremely thick that they didn't use. This is our dog going up the same ramp he blamed. If you want any video, phone audio, text message screen shots contact me and I will send them over. Facebook: Isaac Hoyle

    Joe Jr. and Andrew were very helpful and reasonably priced. I would recommend…read more I was able to schedule last minute when I saw the weather was good. Thank you Joe.

    Would give it zero stars if I could…read more.. Absolutely would not recommend Joe's Movers after this experience. If not for the experience itself but the lack of transparency, respect and urgency towards their customers. I booked Joe's Movers through Facebook Messenger on July 5, at 1438. I explained to whomever runs the page that I needed Movers for about 2 hours in order to load a 22ft. Penske truck on base at Dyess Air Force Base. My husband just had a hernia repair and is on a lifting restriction and was unable to help. I wanted to book these Movers so my dad who traveled 23 hours didn't have to break his back moving boxes after he traveled so hard to help us move. He successfully booked us for 2 hours on July 24th at 9 am. He assured me on many occasions that his people have been on base before without a problem and that they would be willing to meet me at the Dyess VCC for a visitors pass. With that being said, for those who don't know military families are OFTEN on tight moving schedules and plan their moves wildly in advance to accommodate a certain number of travel days. The first red flag should have been zero confirmation the night before. I reached back out to said Facebook page and asked for confirmation morning of that we still had Movers. I received a call from who I assume to be Joe stating that he found out a few days prior that he had a gentleman lose his id and could no longer get on base. He also mentioned he had a few people quit and he himself was out of town. He only had one mover for us and was having issues finding anymore. He understood my frustration and even though it was crappy we were willing to work with it in exchange for a drop in price. I was told that the one guy would come and meet at the VCC like planned. I waited at the VCC with no responses to multiple texts, fb messages and a call. Joe called back and let me know that even though he was already late our mover was picking up a uhaul for the next move, dollys, and a company vehicle. I explained to Joe I was very frustrated about the fact we booked them at 9 am and it was close to 10:00 I explained that we were on a tight schedule as cleaners were to be coming at 12. Joe showed zero sympathy, urgency or understanding in the matter and shoved it off as being one of those days. I understand that matra but try being the military couple far from home, on a moving schedule, standing in front of a 22 ft truck you have tp fill yourself as your movers backed out. Joe's movers never called, he never showed up and Joe left my text messages on read knowing exactly I'm sure the limbo situation they left us in. Do not expect reliability or communication from this company. Deeply disappointed in the whole experience and not even as much of an explanation from the company.
