I used Moving of America again for my brother’s move. Humberto, Leo and Josue were professional, careful, and efficient both times. The pricing was very fair.
Negative Moving of America Reviews
Yelp
MOA charged me more than $13,000 to move 800 miles, then lost over $2,000 of my possessions and damaged much more.
I was charged almost $150 more than quoted. The representative cited a fuel surcharge that no one had mentioned, and a large mirror was chipped.
Yelp
First they nearly doubled the quote. They broke containers, a ceiling fan, and a desk chair, then failed to replace the chair wheel.
Neutral Moving of America Reviews
Yelp
The movers were courteous, professional, and quick, and everything arrived without damage or loss. The company charged $500 for a truck switch that the movers said never occurred.
Yelp
They gave a competitive quote after rough initial emails. They were referred by a friend, so I will probably use them when I need a mover.
They surprised me with a $179 fuel surcharge not included in the original quote. A fine-print sentence mentioned it, and they partially addressed the issue.
