Review Analysis

Customers searching for swift, reliable movers often find Pinky's Moving Service a top local choice—out of 247 reviews, nearly 80% praised their work. Most feedback highlights efficient service, courtesy, and careful handling; the team stands out for working quickly while respecting property. Many customers note the movers' helpfulness under tight deadlines and their ability to resolve last-minute moving crises with professionalism. Pricing gets positive remarks for being fair and transparent, especially compared to larger competitors. On the downside, about one in five reviews points to serious customer service issues, often describing clashes with management, accusations of unprofessional conduct, and disrespectful communication. The main complaints center on rude or threatening behavior from the owner, recurring damage to belongings, and unexpected upcharges. Rare feedback sits in between: neutral reviews suggest moves go well but follow-up on damage claims is lacking. Compared to other movers, Pinky's offers faster and more attentive moving crews, but falls short on complaint handling and professionalism when challenges arise. Those considering Pinky's Moving Service can expect hard-working movers and fast, budget-friendly service, but should clarify all terms up front and exercise caution if problems arise later.
