Review Analysis
Moving with MicroShip, Inc. often means peace of mind, as 57 out of 83 customer reports (nearly 69%) praise their professionalism, careful handling, and efficient, affordable service. Many praise the staff’s polite attitude, attention to detail, clear communication, and budget-friendly pricing, making them a standout among moving companies. Customers highlight the team’s ability to handle valuable or delicate items with care and conduct moves smoothly across long distances, frequently describing the process as stress-free.
On the flip side, some clients share accounts of damaged or missing belongings, delayed deliveries, and weak follow-up, which are more common than with top national chains. Negative feedback also calls out poor communication, especially regarding delivery updates and price adjustments. Compared with many movers, MicroShip is lauded for genuinely helpful staff and low incident rates, but feedback warns to clarify logistics and insurance before hiring. Most people report hassle-free moves, but those with unresolved issues caution others to confirm details and stay proactive.
