Review Analysis
1st Choice Movers draws strong praise for sending professional, careful crews who handle items with respect and speed. Out of 250 feedback entries, 82% reported positive experiences, often noting staff courtesy, fast job completion, and good rates. Many appreciate their attention to detail and efficient service, setting them a step above typical moving firms.
Customers frequently highlight the company’s consistent punctuality and clear communication. Some even mention the extra care provided to pets and property and how well the team followed up, which is rare among moving companies. While most trust their belongings to arrive intact, some customers faced damaged items or missed delivery schedules, with the main complaints being damages, delayed arrivals, and poor communication after issues arose. A few found reaching customer service difficult or weren’t satisfied with response times regarding loss or damage claims. The reviews make it clear: 1st Choice Movers excels at courteous, quick, and affordable service, even for complex moves, but anyone concerned with strict timelines or potential follow-up support after incidents should weigh these risks.
