Move On Moving

Moving is very stressful and expensive. MoveOn Moving was a huge mistake for many reasons. The day before the movers were to arrive, I get a call from Michelle, the "office/dispatch manager". I was told I needed to have a third party piano mover to prepare my baby grand piano; their movers would not move the piano without that in place. Imagine the difficult if not impossible task of finding someone within one day. Luckily a buyer came through that same day to buy the piano. Given the treatment of my other belongings, I strongly doubt the baby grand would have survived the moving by MoveOn Moving. My household needed to be stored in Las Vegas for a month while I settled the rest of my move. Apparently, everything is offloaded to pallets and shoved into a warehouse, along with who knows how many other households, then reloaded for delivery. Upon eventual delivery, it was clear that there was no care taken with my belongings. Things had been smashed and destroyed. A covered mattress (recently purchased) had been undone and obviously walked on; it was filthy. Small things were missing. Most upsetting was the loss of an expensive, large, carved stone Buddha Meditating statue. It was heavy, 3+ feet high, 2+ feet wide and 12-15 inches deep. How do you "lose" something of that nature? I was told they would find it that day and deliver it to me directly. Michelle never called. I called back and Michelle said they did not find it. Over the course of several weeks, my efforts to get my statue returned were met with no response or rudeness. Eventually Michelle quit answering my calls and I could not get information for management to work with them. I have filed a claim with the third party insurance company, but am in a long line of other claims. As an aside, the company charged an extra fee for the piano. They kept the fee for the statue, which was no more complicated than any other large furniture piece. The insurance claim does not cover this "fee", but MoveOn Moving refuses to refund this fee. The company will only take cash transfers and USPS money orders (paid before they will unload the truck), so I do not believe I have recourse via my bank. I have also filed a complaint with the United States Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, 1-888-DOTSAFT, NCCDB@dot.gov. I will be filing with the BBB and any other applicable agency.

SCAM!! I was quoted one rate over the phone. Then they call 6 days prior to pick up to re-go over the item list, they had a whole month to do this. 7 days prior is the cut off for a full refund by the way. Well after going over the list some how there's another $300 tacked on. On the day of pick up the driver tries to get me to not pay the weight estimate but a cubic foot estimate. I say ok thinking they would measure, NOPE. I point it out and I'm told "well we already started." one box had been loaded and if I cancel I'm out $700. They cram your stuff in and stack so much on top that the stuff below does not stand a chance. By the end of loading they dropped multiple boxes marked fragile. Many items came out broken, including two 4K TVs, nearly all the furniture had damage or gouges. When delivery was set up they couldn't fit a semi truck in like most public places so they wanted to charge me another $300 for a U-haul, the u-haul truck rents for $75. And you have to pay cash which is sketchy on its own. And when unloading they take other peoples stuff out and put it on the ground, exposing it to the elements (snowing the whole time during unload.) Read the contract, pay $1200 for full value insurance or they give you poor coverage - $0.60 cents per pound of damaged items. Got a $1000 radio they broke only weighs 10lbs you get $6. Yep, $6. The movers are not professional, not careful and will rush you through signing a contract to keep you from noticing how you are about to get screwed. And good luck with the customer service, they treat you like you are an inconvenience to them. Save your money get a U-haul or a Pod, the price you are quoted will not be that once you are past the full refund cancellation window, tack on another $1000 if you are lucky. And delivery windows are a 24hr notice so hopefully you have a job that will understand you needing to bail on short notice. Do yourself a favor avoid this company at all costs.

I have moved 6 times in the past 14 years, 4 of them interstate. MoveON was not just the worst, it was the worst by far. A look at their ratings and BBB standing is enough to scare anyone off. Unfortunately, I booked this move with a move broker (if you are planning a move, be *sure* you understand the difference!), BIMS, and BIMS shopped my move to these guys.
We will be months recovering from this move. The team, contracted for a full pack and move, simply crammed stuff into boxes. When packing up my workbench, they simply shoveled the tools, neatly arranged in drawers, into a huge box. This included the the things I'd carefully separated out, because they were sharp. In order to unpack I'm going to have to root around in heavy sharps.
The wardrobes from our bedrooms were not used to hang clothes. Instead the clothes were pulled will-ye nil-ye from their hangars and stuffed. One box was half clothing, then all of the open bottles from the bath. The open hydrogen peroxide, of course, leaked, and ruined 7 or 8 shirts
Our china has been smashed, our paintings scraped and torn and our clothing ruined. And for this they demanded an extra $6K, in cash, before they would unload the truck.
When these guys showed up with their rental trucks and practically no packing material we should have run away. Learn from our mistakes! Stay away from Best Interstate and MoveON.

If I could give this "company" NO stars, I would!! Please ignore the LIES of the highly rated reviews - the business obviously enlisted FRIENDS and FAMILY to LIE in order to SCAM more consumers.

They flat-out lied to me, as did the BROKER (We Pack) who should also be put out of business! It started with the broker lying about the delivery dates, the ability to purchase full-value insurance (but were closed when I called, then said "too late"). This company is heartless, telling me "Go to the Salvation Army" to buy clothes for my new job since they couldn't deliver my things on time as promised.

They demanded CASH before they would unload anything and EXTRA for a U-Haul they didn't need since the big truck would fit in the loading dock but they called me a liar over the phone, then switched the dates after promising deliver on X-mas Day afer my mom and I ran all over town to ATMs so we wouldn't go over our limits (I had to borrow cash from her - it was a joint effort to have enough cash for these crooks to pay all the extra $$ they demanded to deliver my things - all broken in pieces! And now they offer $16 for smashed china and china cabinet shelves, destroyed leather desk chair, etc.

I've moved MANY times with my ex in the military but this was the WORST, a total NIGHTMARE!

My items were packed on March 20th. I said first delivery could be accepted was March 31st. My items are still sitting in NV and there was no plans to move them to TX. Move on Moving said they they had 30 days from the 31st to get them to me and they don't have it scheduled yet to move (today is April 9th). Which is extremely inconvenient not to live without your stuff for up to 4 weeks especially when you run a business from the items packed. Plus have no idea when it will arrive.

We really had a great experience with this move. We originally booked though a broker named Best Interstate and they had Move On Moving do the job relocating us to Houston.The moving team was great, they showed up on time and got straight to work. They packed up the whole house for us and boxed all of our things very nicely. It took around 10 wardrobe boxes just to get my wifes clothes out of the closet. They packed up the kids room nice and disassembled all the beds to get them into the moving truck.They finished in around 6 hours and worked non stop. We gave them a nice tip for their hard work.%0d%0aThey Delivered 4 days later. I guess the government only allows the truck drivers to drive a certain amount of miles per day. They took a little longer unloading the truck but the foreman made sure that they placed all of our furniture exactly where we wanted it. A great experience for a stressful time in our lives. A+ for Move On Moving and Best Interstate.

I called Move On Moving on a Monday afternoon really desperate after making a last minute decision to move out of self storage ASAP. I had the ability to get a relocation time for the next day from the very nice salesman Ron over the phone. Having called around a bunch of moving companies in the past, I was happily surprised Move On Moving had an opening, but also had the best rate in town, seriously.

I was happy to get a pickup window for Tuesday afternoon, however I was happy to get a call early Tuesday morning stating that in fact they were able to get to my area practically within the hour, Great with me !! Henry and his partner Russ actually got there a couple of minutes prior to me. They were completely incredible and friendly, and all set to go.

Given, I didn't actually have a great deal of stuff, but these guys were lightning fast and amazing and completely considerate with my things. I have some difficult to deal with, heavy precious jewelry equipment that can be hazardous and quickly damaged if not handled right.

Move On Moving made my day!! Having anticipated to be grinding away in the miserable desert heat up until well after 2pm, we were completely done with my move and my storage unit was completely empty not long after their office opened at 9:30 am - with a huge, not even that sweaty, smile. Thanks guys!

First off, I was kind of grumpy on the phone. The stress from moving was really getting to me. The girl on the phone was really great to talk to because she took my tude in a manner and seemingly, she calmed me down. I was quite satisfied after booking with them because they took the time to wrap my things properly making sure it was done right and loaded their truck. At that point when I was ready to have the delivery to the new house, I had given them a call and told them my availability to see if it could also work with their schedule. Once I set that up, they gave me a timeframe for them to arrive with my belongings. At the time of delivery, the stuff was good and the took the time to unload without damaging my stuff. I hope I don't have to move again but, if I do, I will definitely be calling move on moving again.
