Customer Highlights

Jun 04, 2026

The experience was disappointing.

I expected a smoother process, but there were several issues along the way. Customer support was difficult to reach, and concerns were not addressed promptly. The experience was disappointing.

extremely helpful and pleasant

From the first phone call, James explained the whole process in a way that made sense. There were no surprises and no hidden costs. The crew worked steadily and treated my furniture like it belonged to them. I would not think twice about using their service again.

It was a relief that all went so smoothly.

I had a lot of items to move into my new apartment yesterday. This team stayed busy the entire time and handled my belongings with care. They were easy to talk to and followed the plan we discussed at the start of the day. No items were lost during the transition, which was my main concern. It was a productive day, and I am satisfied with the service provided. This company is a great option for a local move in this city.

10/10 would use again.

10/10 would use again. We were moving my daughter into a 3rd-floor apartment with no elevator. The guys from M Company carried every box and piece of furniture up all those stairs. They never slowed down or complained. They even helped her unpack the heaviest boxes. The whole job took about 5 hours, which was less than they quoted.

No complaints at all.

I highly recommend asking for Zachary if you book here. We had a tricky move with a narrow basement staircase. He measured everything first and had a plan. He guided his team perfectly, getting our freezer and washing machine up without a hitch. They were done in under 4 hours.

I hope improvements are made in the future.

The overall experience was disappointing. Customer service was not as responsive as expected, and several issues remained unresolved. I hope improvements are made in the future.

Overall, not very reliable.

Communication was difficult from the beginning. Calls and messages were not returned promptly, and I had trouble getting updates about my move. Overall, not very reliable.

I would not use this service again.

The process felt unorganized and lacked proper coordination. Customer support was slow to respond, and the delays created unnecessary stress. I would not use this service again.

This is going to be the only moving company we'll ever use!

Honestly, I booked the wrong date online. Showed up at the old house ready to go, and nobody came. Checked my email, and sure enough, I put the wrong day. Called them embarrassed, and they said, " Hold on, let us see what we can do. They had a team at my place within two hours. I know that messed up their schedule, but they never made me feel stupid about it.

I was impressed by how smoothly everything.

I was impressed by how smoothly everything went during my move. The crew arrived right on time and knew exactly what to do from the start. They handled parking, paperwork, and unloading without needing any help from me. Everything was done quietly and efficiently. It’s rare to see that kind of preparation and teamwork these days.
