Review Analysis

Moving of America garners glowing feedback for prompt, efficient service from highly professional and courteous teams. Customers repeatedly praise careful handling of belongings, transparent communication, and smooth, well-organized moves—qualities often missing from other moving companies. Quick-moving crews and reliable staff make the process easy, while many highlight that prices match quotes and there’s genuine respect for property. A standout is the staff’s attention to detailed communication and proactive problem-solving, creating stress-free experiences for even urgent and complex moves. On the downside, some customers encounter unexpected or hidden charges and are frustrated by discrepancies between quotes and final bills. A significant number report items lost or missing—especially with stored possessions—or specific damage to furniture and electronics. Compared to other movers, Moving of America sets itself apart for its consistency, but hidden fees and mishandled items dent trust for some. With 258 reviews analyzed and over 82% featuring positive input, the company earns high marks for reliability and professionalism but should improve billing transparency and item security to match top industry standards.
