"The team at Oscars exceeded our expectations! The movers were incredibly efficient, careful, and had fantastic attention to detail.

"Oscar's is extremely responsive via both email and the phone. They were very patient with us when we had to change our moving date 3 or 4 times. On moving day, the crew showed up right on time and were quick and efficient disassembling and then assembling furniture in the new home. There was not a dent or a ding anywhere! I hope we never have to move again, but we'll use Oscar's if we do."

"Arrived promptly and ready to work. The team was professional, friendly and conscientious. We've used Oscar's Moving Company in the past and have always had good results. I'm sorry I don't have the names of the two people who worked with us- but they were hard workers and got the job done quickly."
Negative Oscar's Moving Company Reviews
"I would absolutely avoid using Oscar's moving...many items were broken...calls and emails were ignored until I cold called the owner...very expensive, to the tune of multiple thousands of dollars more than what others cost."
"My wife scheduled a move...On the day of the move we received an email saying that movers would be there between 4-5pm. We waited and waited…ultimately resorting to calling the main line...They never showed up. Zero communication and no show."
Yelp
"Watch out for this company...Yes, they move fast, but with the speed comes accidents and damage. I had to write a $1100 check to cover the damages that they caused to the property...Things were destroyed, and I was told that because I didn't pay for extra insurance...I never would have used them, and saved myself this expensive problem."
Neutral Oscar's Moving Company Reviews
Yelp
"I moved on September 1st and while the lead mover was detail oriented, quick, and efficient, the rest of the crew were new and needed lots of guidance. Several glass shelves were broken and none of the movers said anything to me about it...had to wait for another employee to arrive to help, extending the hourly rate."
