Within an hour of calling Affordable Movers, Bola and Dan showed up smiling, focused, and ready to work. They handled my things with care and made a last-minute Sunday move smooth and affordable.
Negative Affordable Moving Reviews
Michael Ramirez, Google
Alex and his team were slow and damaged my piano. They took double the time of the last two companies I used.
Jesse Li, Google
Most of my belongings were damaged during an interstate move, including my PC, desk, coffee table, and furniture. Communication stopped after payment, and the company disputed photo and video evidence.
Kristy McFarland, Google
The company canceled less than 48 hours before my move because of a scheduling error. Afterward, staff were rude and accusatory instead of helping correct the problem.
Neutral Affordable Moving Reviews
Yelp
Fast, efficient, and arrived on time. Multiple items were broken or scratched, with no apology or discussion of resolution.

Although the movers arrived on time and worked diligently, the bill was $300 above the quote. A courtesy discount eventually returned the charge to the original price.
Yelp
Salvador and Demis worked quickly and cared for our furniture, but a $150 heavy-item fee for each item made a five-mile move cost $1,625.
