Negative Merit Moving Systems Reviews
Sean C., Yelp
I was misled about the company's practices and paid for a significant overage despite moving about 50% of the volume I was quoted. Days later, I got a bill exceeding the 'firm' quote.
Andrew P., Yelp
After the move, I noticed a watch was gone from my mother's jewelry box. I will leave it up to the public to draw their own conclusions. I would never use this company again.
J C., Yelp
Missing or damaged items are valued only by weight. A 50-inch TV was refunded at $48, and a few boxes went missing. Just be aware of the coverage and storage charges.

Our summary of Merit Moving Systems
Smooth moves, strong follow-through. Customer feedback from 233 reviews shows 223 positive experiences, or 95.7%, while 9 were negative, or 3.9%, and 1 was neutral, or 0.4%. Positive input repeatedly praises consistent follow-up, clear communication, organized packing, flexible scheduling, and efficient crews. Customers often compare Merit favorably with other movers, citing competitive quotes, on-time delivery, careful handling, and easier moves than past or competing companies. Negative feedback centers on misleading pricing or business claims, missing items, damage, storage limits, and unexpected charges. One neutral review links late contractors and an underestimated survey to planning problems. Merit’s strong rating stands out against customers’ prior horror stories, but clearer quotes, inventory checks, and billing would reduce avoidable disputes.
