"Movetastic are great - this is the second time we used them. The movers were friendly and professional. They moved us within the agreed time and made sure everything was in place before leaving."
"The crew was efficient, organized, careful, and friendly to boot. Booking was easy and communication before and during the move was super clear. Would definitely recommend."
Negative Move-tastic Reviews
"One of the worst experiences I’ve had: damaged furniture, lying, poor packing, and dismissive communication. All three valuable furniture pieces were damaged. Claim process was a nightmare and they tried to silence complaints with a settlement offer."
"A 4-hour move took over 7 hours due to incompetence and inefficiency. The lead was vulgar and volatile. Multiple items damaged and not all was delivered. Loss and damage over $2,000."
Yelp
"Our move ended up being ridiculously expensive and stressful because they brought a small truck despite an updated estimate. They left half our stuff behind, and we had to call for another crew. The total was about $2,400—way past the estimate."
Neutral Move-tastic Reviews
Yelp
"Overall was happy with the process but they lost two bags and part of my steamer was missing. The movers were friendly and efficient, but made no real effort to make amends. Items were eventually found and returned."
Yelp
"We were happy to be using move-tastic again after so many years. Still very friendly. The move was much more expensive than before, with extra truck fees and materials charges I wasn’t expecting. Will shop around next time."
Yelp
"I've used hear guys three times. First two times, awesome. This last time, they arrived late and were tough to reach. After the move, discovered boxes labeled fragile were buried or crushed, leading to broken items."
