My mom is a senior citizen, and they were so incredibly respectful, kind, and patient with her throughout the day. They carefully wrapped all of her belongings to ensure nothing was damaged.
The movers were on time, efficient, careful with my furniture, and communicated with us through the whole process. The office staff were extremely helpful and explained every step.
Negative Economy Movers Reviews
Unfortunately, I did not have a positive experience. The men moved a 6 month old refrigerator/freezer and badly scratched it. When they took the fridge out of the truck, there were no pads or anything on it.
Yelp
My parents' truck finally arrived 23 days late. On the plus side, everything was there and the moving crews on both ends were friendly and professional. They spent hours trying to track down their stuff.
Yelp
Received an in-house estimate that came with some crucial errors. I called the office two days in a row and left repeated messages; still no word from them.
Neutral Economy Movers Reviews
Extremely tight getting in and out of.

I was then told Saturday has a four hour minimum! This wasn't mentioned at all when I called to change the original appointment. I canceled my appointment and now have to find a new company.
Yelp
Economy movers reached out to me the following Monday and scheduled my move, for a discounted price for my inconvenience. The crew was very nice and careful with our things, and everything went fine.
