I used Zapt’s local moving service for a two-bedroom apartment. The third-floor move had no elevator, but the movers worked efficiently and carefully. Everything arrived safely, the move was faster than expected, and pricing was more reasonable than other companies.
This was the best moving experience I have ever had. They were fast and efficient, with incredible communication. They stuck to the estimated cost and were kind throughout the process.

Easy to book, and movers were right on time. They did the job expediently and even beat the estimated price. These are reliable and professional movers.
Negative Zapt Movers Reviews
Kodi Hudson, Google
Numerous items arrived damaged, and at least one box was missing. The move was disorganized, with items from another customer included. Customer service offered excuses rather than meaningful assistance or accountability.
Deja Tate, Google
They quoted around $750, but the price rose to $1,241 before arrival. I was charged for both driving and labor, and the front desk was rude when I questioned the increase.
Ashlea H., Yelp
Our move was scheduled for 1 p.m., but the arrival time kept moving to 3, 4, and 5 p.m. We received no proactive updates, and the company canceled after 6 p.m.
Neutral Zapt Movers Reviews
Ashwini Kurady, Google
Management coordination caused a delay: the movers arrived around 5 p.m. for a 1–4 p.m. slot, with no update. Once they arrived, they packed efficiently and moved everything carefully and quickly.
John Dixon, Google
Zapt gave us a great quote, but the movers slowed down, an expensive item was lost, and communication required Google Translate. The move could have gone much more smoothly.
François CHALLET, Google
The move was well managed, but missing protection on two bookshelf legs led to scratches on the wood floor, discovered two days later.
