Review Analysis
Ray the Mover shines with prompt, professional crews and outstanding communication, supported by input from 257 customers, nearly 80% of whom praised their experience. The team’s attention to detail, careful handling, and consistent follow-through stand out, winning customer confidence in both local and cross-country moves. Many cited efficient service, friendly staff, and damage-free delivery that set the company apart from competitors. Yet not every move goes perfectly—close to 20% of input reveals a pattern of damaged belongings, unexpected fees, or delivery delays.
Some customers reported a lack of accountability after issues arose, especially when damage occurred or timelines slipped. Despite these negatives, Ray the Mover’s positive feedback volume is higher than the service industry average. While most find their efficiency, communication, and respectful crews justify the cost, those prioritizing absolute safety and full transparency in pricing may want to clarify expectations upfront.
