In their own words
Unprofessional and rude owner. Main sticking point is the owners handling of business. He didnt take responsibility for the packaging and handling of a sentimental guitar. The guitar was missing its case, and was placed in a "speed pack". There were damages (cracks and scratching). We spoke and both of us agreed to resolve this by taking it to his resources for repair. A few hours later he claimed to have gone to 2 repair shops and feedback was it was not his fault.
Rob, we want to give the full picture here, because we worked hard on your move. When your belongings didn't fit the first truck, we sent a second 26-ft truck the same day at no charge and supplied over $300 in packing materials you requested for free.
We had a easy move from a two bedroom apartment, to a single level home 5 miles down the street. Went bad from the get go when Starving Students were suppose to do the job, but they sub-contracted out to these guys. Oh, no. The start time was 8 a.m. and they didn't show up till 2:30. A three man crew altogether, and no shrink wrap, or tape. One started complaining already, and the other not fit to move "himself". After the Owner had to be called, and had to come out to rescue his unfit "mover" things got worse.
I will preface by stating that the foreman was extremely friendly and polite, and communication was for the most part prompt and concise. Nothing large was damaged or broken in the move. However, the rest was a bit of a nightmare. One of the employees approached me while I was alone and behaved extremely inappropriately. I called the foreman to complain and that employee did not assist with the remaining move.
Grace, Thank you for reviewing us and for your honest opinion of our services. There’s a lot to unpack in your review (pun intended) however I want to point out a few things. In the preface of your review you stated nothing was damaged or broken in the move but your next paragraph said tools and…
This could have easily been a 5 star rating and I would’ve loved to give a higher rating however the way my concerns were handled was not acceptable. I scheduled my move with Abba and sons on January 22nd for Saturday, March 2nd at noon and was quoted $178. On Friday, March 1st I reached out and confirmed my move for the Saturday at noon. I scheduled for noon because I wouldn’t have the keys to my new place until around 10 a.m. when the office at my new complax opened.
WORTH THE READ! UPDATE: Ze've, the owner, stored ALL of my belongs in his storage facility (they did all of the packing, my apartment was completely empty when they were done). He held my things until he had other deliveries out of state as my belongs were being delivered to Spokane WA. Once he had sufficient deliveries he brought mine to Spokane. When I arrived at my storage unit in Spokane on the day.of delivery, they had arrived early and unloaded my things. I , again trusted them and signed off.
Thank you very much for your support local business ze’ev
Called to schedule a move and was told they would send 2 men and a 26 foot truck, but on moving day they arrived in a 17 foot truck which is 1/2 the cubic feet as a 26 foot truck. The 2 guys were great , worked hard and fast but we were forced to make 3 trips instead of 1 or possibly 2 which added a lot of time to my move. I email the office to inquire about it and was told the bigger trucks had been given to other jobs and while they were sorry for my inconvenience no refund or credit would be made.
Moved in May of 2014 out of Tucson. Sales person who came to my house was nice, friendly, and seemed knowledgeable. After calling around, I decided to go with Abba and Sons. She and I set a date for me to make a deposit. That day came and went and I called her and she told me that she would call me back. She did, a week or two later, and asked if I had ever made my deposit. After giving her my credit card number, she told me that there was a service fee for using my card.
Worst moving company in the city of Tucson .. inexperienced movers seem to be totally clueless about everything ..I believe that these guys are just simply hired off the street randomly.. a lot of my items were damaged by carelessness and most of the movers were young, seemingly , and rude.. inexperienced... They start their clock before they leave the gate of the company and when they arrive at your destination they stand around talking doing nothing I think it's just a gimmick built-in to extract extra time and…
Hi, my name is Zeev the owner. I know my customers very well and unfortunately you are not one of them. My company never moved you. Thank you have a good day.

In their own words
Abba & Sons Moving offered not only a great deal, but provided excellent service for a difficult two-part out of state move. There was a mis-communication regarding our terms for the second part of our move and in accommodating our needs and resolving the issue, owner Zeev was apologetic and reasonable. Movers Ashley, Warren and Chris or Travis (I forget the third gentleman's name) were on time, careful, efficient and very fast in unloading and placing our items.
I used Abba & Sons for moving my office and then again a few months later to move my entire house to a different state. I have no complaints and would recommend this company highly. Zeev and his crew made the process of moving as stress free and pleasant as possible. They were very professional, packed everything up in a timely fashion, loaded and unloaded everything without damage (Other than big Ikea pieces which are impossible to move!).
I recently used Abba & Sons for my move, and I am beyond impressed with the level of service and professionalism they provided. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, and I couldn't have asked for a smoother move. The booking process was easy, and Zeev was incredibly helpful, answering all my questions and ensuring I had all the information I needed. On moving day, the crew arrived on time and got straight to work.
Thank you very much for your support local business over the 22 year ze’ev K
My wife and I did our best to check reviews on just about every moving company in Tucson via Yelp, Google and the BBB before choosing Abba and Sons Moving...but even after that lengthy due diligence, we really couldn’t feel confident that we’d chosen well. My wife and I are both disabled, and felt vulnerable to being taken advantage of. The morning of our move, the Abba and Sons crew arrived exactly on the agreed upon time - 8am.
Thank you for leaving a review!
