Negative Simple Moves Reviews

"Crew arrived late and damaged several pieces of my white furniture. Broke a family heirloom dresser and left with a table for repair—haven't heard anything despite calling multiple times. Terrible follow-up."
Yelp
"Movers came late, worked slowly, some spent time on the phone. Bill higher than quote. Some items moved that should've stayed. Would not recommend."
Neutral Simple Moves Reviews
"Initial scheduling was great, but the crew rarely used provided packing materials and new damage occurred to some furniture. Felt like only two men were working at points. Not the best, not the worst."
Yelp
"My experience ranged from awesome to ok to could've been better. Movers sometimes removed protective blankets, some items got dirty or damaged, and the crew wasn't always working together."
Yelp
"If you have a SIMPLE MOVE, they are worthy of 4 stars. With complex needs, some items were left for day two, despite an hour credit. You get what you pay for."

Our summary of Simple Moves
Simple Moves racks up an impressive 82% positive feedback across 450 customer reviews, with just under 17% reporting negative experiences. Clients praise the company’s efficient service, careful handling of belongings, professional and polite staff, quick moving times, and affordable rates. Many remark on how the team completes moves swiftly while maintaining great care and friendliness, often outperforming bigger-name competitors on both price and customer service. On the downside, the majority of criticisms mention damage to furniture or property, delayed arrivals or missed time windows, and a lack of follow-up or response from management when issues arose. While most find the moving crews helpful and reliable, those with more complex moves or high-value items should note the feedback on inconsistent packing quality and rare breakdowns in communication. Compared to other movers, Simple Moves stands out for affordability and efficiency but, like most budget-friendly services, careful attention to special handling details may require clear advance coordination.
