Review Analysis
Student Movers earns strong praise for their efficient moves, friendly and professional staff, and consistently careful handling of customers’ items. Feedback highlights their ability to move quickly—even on short notice—and their movers’ helpfulness, which helps reduce moving-day stress for many clients. Most describe the team as hardworking and reliable, noting that property is protected during the process. On the other hand, a significant portion of customer feedback points to poor experiences with phone staff, citing rudeness and lack of professionalism as serious concerns. Unexpected charges and occasional reports of damaged belongings also surface frequently, sometimes leading customers to warn others about billing practices. While the company’s movers typically get high marks for attitude and execution, the issues with customer service and billing resemble patterns seen at other budget movers, where strong field teams can be overshadowed by office or management problems. Of the 191 reviews assessed, nearly 73% were positive, making Student Movers’ performance notably better than many competitors, but improvements in office conduct and price transparency would further strengthen their reputation.
