The Village Movers and Storage deserve more than 5 stars because of the wonderful job that they did. They were professional and competent. Dominic and Nate did everything and more than expected. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants fair and honest movers. read more

This is my experience with Village Movers and Storage. I would only recommend this company to someone I absolutely despise. My parents hired them to move their home and items in their storage unit from Florida to Texas. According to constant updates throughout the process from my parents it went poorly from the start. I also have my own experience with the company once they got to Texas. They showed up hours late to my parents' new home. We didn't realize how badly they would treat my parents' things until they arrived in Texas. It became evident very quickly that they did not organize anything that was packed. We also started seeing items come in broken in pieces. They ruined family heirlooms. Childhood pictures were scattered on the floor of the moving truck. Chunks and scrapes were all over multiple pieces of furniture. Shards of glass were lying in the bottom of boxes. I have plenty of pictures and video evidence of the treatment of all of the boxes and furniture. The men packing and moving clearly threw boxes wherever they would fit on the truck (have more picture evidence). We found a solid wood headboard on the floor of the moving truck with dollies and boxes lying on top haphazardly. The men also carried in pieces of beds taped to random boxes. Rugs have stains on them and my parents' beautiful fabric bed frame is covered in black marks. A big canvas piece of art has finger prints stretched into it with brown marks from dirt. I'm not sure that we will ever find all of the pieces to put everything back together because everything was left in complete disarray. Now that I have painted a picture of the treatment of my parents' things I will describe the way they were treated by everyone in the company. The owner of the company called my mom a liar for being upset and letting him know that the movers were late on arrival. The son of the owner called my mom a smarta$$ for getting upset about the treatment of their things. He refused to allow his men to unload the rest of their trucks and held my parents' things hostage while demanding that they get cash to complete the payment outside of the contract agreement. My parents had to go to the local police department. The police department contacted the owner of the company who claimed that he had directed his men to take my parents' things to a separate storage unit until they procured a money order with the rest of payment before they had completed the terms of the contract. The treatment was absolutely despicable and disgusting considering the condition of their furniture. The movers cursed at my parents and ended up almost getting in a fist fight with each other before they were kicked off of the property. I am only thankful that we were able to get the rest of the boxes off of the truck and nobody got hurt. Also the movers smelled overwhelmingly of weed and should not be operating moving vehicles. This company is a sham and nobody wants to hire them to move. It will cost you far more in replacing your furniture and many personal items will be damaged. read more

Wow! Honest friendly customer service! Went above and beyond any other companies to answer my questions and provide ballpark quote. Unlike other companies wanting way too much info and hoop jumping!!! When I'm ready to plan the move Nate and Village movers will be my absolute first choice! Thank you Nate ! Your customer service is above and beyond! read more

Virtually every piece of furniture was damaged. If it was wood, it was scratched or broken. If it was fabric, it looked like it was dragged across a filthy floor. A cordless vacuum and several boxes with family heirlooms were stolen. On delivery they tried to jack up the price that was given beforehand. They refuse to repair the damage. You've been warned. read more

The issue with Village Movers and Storage is not with it's hard working movers. Devin and his crew were awesome. I rated the leadership/owner and their lack of training of young staff 2-stars. What should have been a 3-hour job turned into a 9-hour job. Instead of accepting responsibility for their error the owner blamed it on me and charged me $300 additional plus my inconvenience. Lack of accountability in communication between company and customer was evident! read more

I reached out for last minute unloading services and Nate was very helpful. The previous company I booked never showed up. I jumped online and found these guys. He understood my situation and got right back to me with a quote and time they would be able to unload my U-Haul. Fast and reliable read more

When my home sold in 2 days with about 3 weeks to move out I became so overwhelmed at what needed to be done. I just can't say enough positive comments about how Nate assured me that his company would get my home packed up, stored before I left for Michigan in September. He organized a team to pack one day and another team to deliver boxes the following day to this storage company. He. kept me up to date on times, details, etc. He contacted me about a week ago to let me know that my stored items would soon be coming to Portage, Mi. The truck of 80+ boxes arrived right on schedule. The storage unit is the perfect size! The driver even dropped off my china cabinet and grandfather clock at my home separately! I was very pleased at the care my things were packed. I feel that Nate showed exceptional organization skills on this project. read more

I would have given NO stars if that was a possibility! It is said that the only thing people remember is the first and last part of whatever it is they read. With that in mind, the only good thing I will start off saying about Village Movers and Storage is Devin Sherwood. As soon as he was made aware of the issue, he went into action to try and rectify it as quickly as possible. I apologize for the length of this review, but there is much to be said. I'm happy to hear that others had a good experience. However, in my case I would NEVER recommend Village Movers and Storage to anyone even if the only thing they wanted to move was a doghouse! Nate was very personable when we first met; I was (locally) moving from a 2br apartment in Wildwood to a small house in Ocala. I was sent the price quote via email for $2300-2400 dollars for the move which I thought was reasonable after my move the year before being $2200. The two men who did the initial packing were personable and I asked for them to be the ones who did the actual moving. But boy am I ever sorry I did!!! When the furniture was delivered and they were leaving, I was given the bill, it was $3140 - supposedly due to extra "labor" charges. How could he have given such a poor estimate to begin with? It's his business to know, even if it would have been a ballpark figure, maybe an additional $200-$300 but NOT $740-$840 difference. Oh, and before I forget, one of the movers actually came back after I'd given him the check and asked if the amount included a TIP? That was the first issue. The second was the movers rolled my Tempur-Pedic bed up like a rug and taped it. When I saw it later that evening, it looked like there was a body INSIDE the mattress. There was nothing wrong with that mattress before the move. Nate came over the next day to try and stretch it back to normal - part of the lump was gone; but anyone who knows Tempur-Pedic knows the damage was done. I told him I wanted a new mattress. Let's jump to 5 weeks later and there STILL had not been a resolution to getting a new one. Never once did Dominic, who I believe is the owner of the company, reach out to me. I was given his number by Nate and told to contact him. Whatever happened to customer service? Without question, HE should have called ME as soon as it happened to fix this by replacing the damaged one. I waited as long as I could but with company coming, I needed a bed. By this time, Nate said he was no longer involved, telling me that damage wasn't his department, and he turned me over to Devin. Not his department??? Shouldn't he have done that 5 weeks before?? So much time wasted and stress I should have NEVER been put under. So I went out and bought a new Tempur-Pedic (on sale, floor model originally $4200 for $2400). As I told Nate, I wasn't a greedy person; I simply wanted the bed replaced as it should have been in the beginning. So Devin was now involved; but because I'd gone out and purchased the new mattress, it apparently changed what he could do. So now he asked me what I would accept as fair monetary compensation. I said I wanted the cost of the mattress - $2400 - which he said the owner wouldn't do. I told him I'd settle for half. Now here's the bad news folks, not only did the moving company stiff me on the actual move, they didn't want to pay for the mattress. Dominic started with an offer of $500 (insulting) but Devin was able to get $850 - still insulting as far as I'm concerned. I live on a fixed income and relied on this company to take care of me and my things - THEY DID NOT DO EITHER! It is stated that hindsight is great, and this whole NEGATIVE experience is a perfect example of that! Not one piece of my furniture wasn't damaged in some way from light scratching to small gouges; unwrapped light bulbs rolling around in boxes. And it goes on and on...REMINDER: THEY ASKED FOR A TIP... So, the bottom line here, is that a 21-mile local move which should have cost me no more than $2400 or a little bit more ended up costing me $4690 and Village Movers and Storage simply didn't care. read more

Village Movers were fantastic. Called a different companies initially. I not only had my questions answered the first call but Nate followed up with me. Very proffessional and communicative. Our closing was delayed and the initial company I hired fell thru.. in a pinch I called Nate back. He made it happen without blinking an eye. And the guys Darell and Chris were right on time, unpacked everything very thoroughly and worked fast. Nate also showed up and helped unload 6 upack pods.. I cant imagine a smoother experience. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. read more

Amateur job. Warning! DO NOT USE. I have a 3,000sq house. Only moving big items like bed and couches no boxes at all. They pull up in a ram truck with a trailer. 2 guys smaller than me show up and barley had the strength to move the items. I had to help them out because they were dropping the items with a dolly not being careful with the items either they didnt care or was too much for them. Many scratches and many damages. They dropped the sewing machines and never fixed the damages. Only gave me $170 off because they had to make two trips with the trailer when they said they were going to bring the big truck. Should have used 2 men and a truck because the damages were a lot more than what they were quoting. read more

The name is deceptive. Same name as company in The Villages. Hired for a full house move - March , 2022. The guys are hard workers and did a good job. The truck and trailer have seen better days. Price was reasonable. read more

BEWARE!!! Biggest SHYSTERS ever!!!! This company lies, cost us so much money. Packers never finished packing, movers came and moved 40% of belongings unpacked, including all TV's. Broke $4000 worth of our tvs. Broke jewelry box and lost half of jewelry. Damaged every piece of furniture we own. Threw our belongs in storage unit like trash. Packed propane tank, guns and ammunition in the truck to storage. One of the movers was under the influence of something. They forgot to pack one of our garages, came back the next day and charged us more money for that. Owner (from New York)would not help me rectify situation at move. Point of contact Nate would not call me back. When they finally did, first they promised us a new tv, after weeks of putting me off they reneged that statement. Then owner said he would send me $500 a month ago. Never happened. These are the biggest LIARS I have ever met. Worst moving experience of my life and I've moved 18 times!!! read more

This company moved a jacuzzi for a friend and damaged their pool deck in the process. During the transport and up until they got paid, they promised to repair the damages but as soon as they were paid, they refused. They were very rude and insisted they were movers, not repairmen. read more

It was a long day but the service was friendly, reliable, and careful. The price was very reasonable and the communication with Nate was excellent! He followed up promptly and made sure everything was taken care of. read more

After speaking with Dominick at Village storage and movers I had my questions answered. Dominick gave me his phone number and offered great advice about moving cross country. We moved from California and had 2 -16 foot pods shipped. We hired Village movers and storage to unpack our pods and move things into our new home. Wayne and another gentleman showed up to unpack our pods, they did so efficiently and respectfully and as a result earn this five star review. Even the owner Nate came back the following week to help me set up a piece of furniture that I couldn't find the parts to previously . All around a great experience, and I would highly recommend.. read more

Village Movers and Storage - Movers Near Me - Ocala, Florida

Courteous, punctual and reliable movers. They were on time with great attitudes and suggestions.

Please read the reviews before using this group. Dint get them confused with the Villages movers located in Fruitland Park. This is not the right one. I thought this was who I hired until the day of the move and there were no black trucks.. they took two days to pack due having a jacuzzi in the truck from a previous move. You could accomplish the same getting a truck and day laborers. Look up John Dominic Sullivan on Google. Lil John movers = Village Movers and Storage. No DOT number available for you to check. No customer service whatsoever. You will get to hear about his daughter, grandma and parents but he isn't going to pay for any damages. The Villages is filled with parasitic contractors who file bankruptcy and come back under another name to continue scamming seniors. We are preyed upon as seniors and JDS is just another vulture. He won't file a claim probably because he has intermittent or no insurance coverage on his business. He promises but if something is damaged you are on your own. I wish the Villages could prohibit vulture contractors. read more

Village Movers was wonderful. I spoke with Nate to arrange my mom's dining room table, chairs, and other miscellaneous things. They moved the stuff from my mom's house to the storage unit.

DO NOT STORE ANYTHING WITH THEM!!! They stored my boxes for 9 months and they were FULL OF ROACHES! They literally ate the top layer off artificial plant leaves. We brought the boxes into the house to unpack and they moved into my brand new house. What a mess. Of course, there is no recourse for rodent or insect damage (back side of contract in very small print). They take no measures to keep your boxes safe. read more

Management is the worst problem of this company. If I was a moving and I needed help. I would go with someone else! This place may be cheap, but you get what you pay for!! By the looks of their reviews. I'm not the only one they screwed! Have a great day! read more

Let me encourage you to DEFINATELY use The Village Movers for any moving needs. They have done two small pickups and deliveries for me and one whole house move. They are phenomenal! A different crew each time and each one spectacular. Pardon my flowery terms, but in today's world of mediocre if you're lucky service levels, Nate and TVM team is just a breath of fresh air. They are well priced, with NO SURPRISES. They are prompt, courteous, careful, and polite. They catered to the special needs of my mother during this virus and did it with a smile on their faces. I will not consider using anyone else! Call Nate. He ANSWERS the phone and gives amazing customer service. Great communication, great value, great effort. What more could you ask for. read more

If I ever need to move again, John and The Village Movers will definitely get my business! No job is to big, small or too far away! Professional, positive attitude is just what you need when moving! read more

They say moving is one of the most stressful event. Truth. However, from Nate the manager who streamlined the move to Jacob and Keegan did the heavy lifting they made it much less stressful. Professional team read more

I too hired these guys thinking it was the villages movers we had used before from Fruitland Park. Were suppose to show at 8:30 am, but only 2 packers showed up at noon, no trailer. Then at 1pm the trailer shows up, not a black villages movers trailer so we asked about it and Dominic said they had so much business they had to get additional equipment! Trailer showed up with no dollys or 4 wheelers, so let them use mine until some were delivered later. Packers all worked hard and were courteous, no complaints with the packets. Was scheduled to be delivered to Texas on Monday, but 2 break downs and a third truck later we received the delivery on Friday afternoon, but without my OLED tv that got left hind. Said they ship it and have it to me by Monday! Nope didn't get delivery until Saturday! And of course it was damaged. Furniture damaged were recorded and sent to both Nate and Dominic, but they would not file the claim, obviously they say they have insurance that covers 60%, but I doubt they actually have insurance. read more

The team we had today lead by Dominic show up on time to move us. The team all worked very hard and were extremely polite. Nate knew what he was doing when he sent them to us. Thank you for the excellent experience. read more

I called for 1 item to be moved and Nat was courteous and professional .. he worked with us to coordinate ever changing schedules and a difficult pick up spot.. finally three very polite men arrived with my desk..triple wrapped and they gently unwrapped it like the precious item it is.. they spirited it into it's proper location and made sure to go over it to make sure I was satisfied with its condition. They were all so wonderful and I would recommend them to anyone. read more

Great job by the staff. They were polite, professional and fast. I couldn't be happier.

We moved from Ocala to Orlando. John and his team were a great company to work with. Couldn't be any more happy with the service. Thanks again for a great move! read more

We had just moved into town and needed someone quickly to help us unload a moving truck. They had someone there the very next day and did a great job. read more

I wish I had seen these reviews before I booked this "company." Completely unprofessional. No written contract. Did not show up when they said they would. Damaged my home. Unorganized. Wanted full payment before items were delivered. I said I would pay after items were delivered and then John threatened to not release my things. Demanded cash only and wanted to increase the quote given after the fact. They are not trustworthy to say the least. Stay away from Villages Movers and Storage. They also have an F rating on BBB where you can see the different names they have used over the years. read more

Do not get confused with Village Mover (without the S). Read the reviews here.. Dominick ripped my mom off on a recent move. No inventory was taken so they sent a much smaller truck and things were left behind because they didn't fit in the truck. Nothing was wrapped so many things were damaged or destroyed. When Dominick finally answered the phone (since he never responds to texts or calls once he has your money) he said he would refund my mom $500. No money has been sent. Stay away from this company and read the reviews they are horrible. read more

First my husband and I had a consultation with Nate the General Manager and Sales Logistics. We just moved from NY to Florida and my husband has this over a 1000lbs gym equipment that we needed to be moved from storage to our new home. We provided the name of the equipment to Nate and he immediately looked it up to get an idea of the size and info to quote us a price and to determine if it was something his guys can do. Most companies don't even take that step and send guys and they're not prepared for what they have to move so that was a plus for me. I must say, Nate was exceptionally professional and was able to provide a smart and detail way of how to safely move that expensive piece of equipment and he assured us his guys would be fast efficient and smart. We were able to schedule the move by the next day and the price Nate quoted was perfect. The movers were exactly as Nate said smart and efficient and quick. What took almost 6 guys to move this equipment into the truck from New York which took a while, these guys from Village Movers & Storage of Fl, Jacob and the crew of 2 so a total of 3 was able to move it quickly, smart and no damage was done and it was perfect. By far the best moving experience we've had from sales to the overall experience. I would recommend this company to anyone. Very professional and fast and smart. The most important thing when moving is being smart and efficient so your furniture, equipment or anything doesn't get damaged. Thank you very much Nate and mostly thank you to Jacob and the crew. They may not be huge guys but their expertise and being smart is stronger than you think! Thanks again. Best Movers and I've had over 10 years experience with moving so trust me when I say these guys are the best! read more

If I could have given them a "0" star I would have. Such a terrible move I can't even write all they ruined. Did NOT wrap anything, mattresses torn and really dirty. All the black fabric under the bottom of chairs and footstools was ripped and torn. Garbage bags full of broken dishes and kitchen stuff, even bent a stainless steel bowl. A white two seat couch with black footprints on the cushions. Banged every wall in our new house. Had to give the drivers gas money for their rented moving truck to bring my second load. NO returned phone calls and of course no restitution on damages. I have no idea where to positive comments come from after what I've went through. Wife and I cried for days as we were throwing away some of our memories that were broken beyond repair. read more

Had a HORRIBLE experience with these people! I am five states away, a 15 hour drive, and really needed to be able to count on VMS doing what they said they would do. At first they seemed very customer service oriented. Two people met me at my storage unit and loaded boxes from the unit into a trailer I had brought down. However, there were big items that i was not going to be able to take with me and the owner of VMS told me that they would take these items and sell what they could and keep at least some of the proceeds. I had to be out by a certain date so as not to incur additional charges. They did not move the items on the day I was in town, because the owner did not show as he said he would. Instead the young guy that was helping with the boxes said he would do it within the next few days. A few days later, I received a photo from him of the emptied unit and was so excited to be done with it! But the day after receiving the photo, I received a call from the storage facility that there were items piled outside my unit in the driving lane of the facility. The moving company hadn't hauled all the items away after all. They took the items they wanted, washer/dryer, mattress and box spring, sofa sleeper, and then moved the rest of the items out of the unit and took a photo, leading me to believe all was well. The girl at the front desk of the storage facility had to drag the stuff back into the unit and then she placed their lock on the door. I explained to the her what the situation was, but there wasn't a lot she could do for me. So, I called John at VMS and worked it out so they would finish things up on Monday. But nobody showed. The storage facility then called John and he told her that it was ME who left the stuff out of the unit, not his guys! Anyway... he told her they would come on Tuesday. Again... nobody showed. Here it is Wednesday and he won't return my calls. This has been nothing but a headache and they are not willing to make it right. They already got my money, so what do they care if I'm unhappy! As I said: DO NOT USE THIS MOVING COMPANY! They over promise and under deliver! RUN AWAY! RUN FAR, FAR AWAY from them and tell everyone you know that they are crooks and jerks! If you do not heed my warning and use them anyway, DO NOT PAY THEM UNTIL THEY HAVE DONE EVERY LAST THING THEY SAID THEY WOULD! Otherwise, as soon as they have your money, they will disappear! And I couldn't even get a receipt! I called three times asking for that, but no one returned my call. What a dick! If I could have put ZERO stars, that's what i would have selected. They don't really even warrant a 1-star rating! I ended up having to call another company (Go2Guys), and after telling Albert my story, he had everything taken care of within an hour and a half. He even sent me a receipt within 15 minutes of payment! I hated having to pay even more money. But at least this guy did what he said he would! DO NOT USE THE VILLAGES MOVING AND STORAGE!!! read more

Nightmare to deal with. John Dominick Sullivan pretends he is two people. Doesn't follow through on his promises to make good on missing pieces of furniture. Promises reimbursement and doesn't follow through. RUN FROM THIS COMPANY. Bad business practices and showed up with a haul truck for the move. read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY for moving any of your furniture!!! I called mid June 2017 and spoke to a John who claimed to be the owner. I got a quote for moving my mother-in-law from The Villages to her new home 15 minutes away. The move took place on July 1, 2017. When it came time to write the check my husband was told by Tom (the mover) to write it out to Zip Ship Movers not Village Movers, which he did. A floor lamp was broken during the move so I called John (sometimes it's a Bill .....I think it's the same guy) and was told to send a picture so that he could replace it. After several calls every week I was told they would just send me a check for replacement. ALL LIES. I've been calling weekly since July and have been getting the run around. The last few weeks he hasn't answer at all and his voice mail is full on both cell numbers 352-812-6981 and 352-812-4889 SO PLEASE save yourself the aggravation that we have been going through and hire a trustworthy company. read more

I'm so glad I found this site with this company on it! I, too, have a horror story created by Dominic! I had thought I'd hired Village Mover (the REAL good guys!) but when the U-Haul truck with no lift gate arrived 2 hours late, with not 3 experienced movers as promised, but 1 big brute and a skinny dude half his size (horribly mismatched for lifting) red flags went up all over the place! They had one broken furniture dolly and no pads/blankets with which to protect my solid oak furniture. After manhandling and damaging all they managed to get on their truck, there was no room left for items from the garage, which had been listed to move...those ended up being moved in our F150 pickup in 5 trips from Ocala to Fruitland Park! My brand new Tempurpedic mattress was literally dragged out of the truck and across the driveway, becoming a filthy mess! When getting the furniture to Fruitland Park, and I voiced my displeasure with the pathetic move, threatening to withhold the amount due, I was told my things would remain on the truck until I paid the bill. By this time, it was almost 10 pm so I felt I had to ransom my things! I called Dominic the next day to no avail. I emailed him complaining about the sorry experience and had no response. It's people like that who make the world a sad place to live and he should be ashamed of himself, but apparently he's still up to his shenanigans. My story happened 3 years ago and I just realized Village Mover is NOT the same company who ripped me off! read more

Missing boxes...lack of response...as if they don't care. Great at first with kind, friendly conversation and movers. Put our stuff into storage for a couple of months and arranged for delivery at the new location. Once they were done and we started to unpack we noticed numerous missing boxes. Called and left numerous messages. Today we finally got a hold of James and he acted as if we never conversed before. Until we find our personal belongings and have a better outcome I have to rate this firm as a DO NOT USE. Find another firm and count your boxes when they load and when they unload. read more
