In their own words
Absolutely horrible service and would not recommend! It took 7 hours for 3 men to move an apartment with minimal furniture 20min away. I had minimum furniture bc I purchased new furniture to be delivered to my new place. I had an item that was broke and also had missing things. I later got a charge for a purchase that was taken from my home. It took 50min to drive to my new apartment which is exactly 18min away, while paying an hourly fee & transportation fee.
Updated Response: We again apologize for your dissatisfaction with your move. The owner had personally texted and reached out to you to discuss and apologize for your dissatisfaction and concerns.
If I could give zero stars I would. This was hands down one of the worst moving experiences I have ever had. I hired this company expecting professionalism, communication, and efficiency and instead I got a nine and a half hour disaster for a one bedroom apartment that was already fully packed and prepped. The movers spent nearly six hours just at the apartment which makes absolutely no sense. Everything was boxed, bagged, and stacked in the middle of the unit.
We understand that moving can be a stressful experience, and we never like to hear that a customer is upset with our service. However, we would like to provide some clarity regarding your recent move under extremely challenging conditions, including 110° weather.
Do not use this company, first they said they charge 145 per hour for a minimum of 2 hours and they make you give a Deposit who goes towards the two hours , we'll thats a lie because they later charge you 290 plus your deposit with excuses, and they keep your 145 usd and still pay 290 use, they were supposed to get my home at 5- 6 pm and they delayed me like 3 times because they had a flat tire, they got here at 8:45 pm ( they were here to just take all the stuff down from my u haul) everything was going well and…
Subject: Clarification on Pricing and Services for Your Recent U-Haul Unloading I am writing to address the concerns you raised regarding the recent unloading service provided by our team for your U-Haul.
I normally do not leave negative reviews, but after seven months of trying to resolve this situation, I feel it is necessary. The actual move itself went smoothly. We moved about 100 miles from a 2,400 square foot home, and the crew worked quickly and efficiently. However, when it came time to pay, I went to my purse to get the white envelope containing the cash I had set aside, and 1,000 dollars was missing.
This customer is now having family and friends write reviews under our company. The latest review by Rebekah Aaserud is not a valid review and was convinced by this reviewer to write a fake review on our company.
I called and scheduled a move for May 31st after I found a rental that would allow me to move in early because my house sold, and I needed to be out by the 1st of June. I was told Arizona Discount Movers that the movers would be at my house on May 31st, and I was given a three-hour window. I was then told that I would get a courtesy call when the movers were thirty minutes away and I needed to reserve the movers with a $190.00 dollar payment which they put on my credit card.
We are sorry if there was any misunderstanding during our booking process. When we booked your move, we made it very clear that we would call you 30 minutes prior to arrival to let you know that we were on our way and that we would need to get a hold of you before we dispatch the movers to your…
First time using movers, called around and got a few different quotes from different places and this place seemed the most realistic with the good reviews. This was the worst experience overall. I schedule 3 movers for the morning time frame about a month before the move. Two days before moving they says “we need to move your time slot back from 8am to 11-3”. Begrudgingly, I agreed since it’s too late to find another company short notice and if they come at 11 then it’s not too bad.
We’re sorry to hear that your experience with our moving service did not meet your expectations regarding the timeframe. On the day of your move, we arrived with a U-Haul instead of our branded moving truck because our regular truck was unexpectedly in the shop and unavailable.
Now that I’ve re-packed the storage I found my brand new broom disassembled and the handle is bent so badly I don’t even know why they did that and they definitely didn’t tell me. And overall the move just didn’t go smoothly. They seem cool, they packed up things I didn’t want packed but most importantly I don’t like that stuff was damaged and they just tossed it in the storage. They were well compensated for this move and I am utterly bummed they did me like this.
Updated reply 01/24/23: we unfortunately are not able to process a claim, or take care of a customers concerns if we don’t know about them. Unfortunately, we were not aware of any of this until you wrote your review and all I was doing was responding with some kind of solution to try to take care…
If I can give this place 0 stars I would . I should’ve took note with the initial red flags that I got with them, but I wanted to give them a chance. Not only were they changing my start time all the way up to the night before . At first, I was being kind and understanding and then after the sixth time, they changed my move time I was over it but Had no other option, but to continue to move forward with it.
We are very sorry that you were not happy with your moving service. Upon researching we found that we did email you a claim form on December 27. Your move took place on December 23. So we sent the claim form quickly and as soon as we were notified of the missing rug.

In their own words
I needed to hire movers for a short move across town to a different apartment. I called several companies to get quotes and AZ Discount was the most responsive and had great pricing. Booking was super simple and they were able to accommodate my move date. My movers were on time and I can’t say enough great things about them! They were personable and respectful, they did an excellent job of wrapping and moving my things with care.
Thank you for the 5 star rating! We truly appreciate your positive feedback and are thrilled to hear that our team exceeded your expectations. We are glad the booking process was smooth, and that our movers were on time, personable, and respectful.
When I called there, I got a person, named Stephanie that was really helpful and courteous with me. I used these movers for the first time to move my things to a home that had other furniture in. They not only moved my stuff; but, also, moved the other furniture out of the home to make room for mine. The two young men, Shoff (not sure of the spelling) and Marvin, that work for them were very polite and made sure I didn't do too much. I had just got out of the hospital from a heart attack.
I am sorry to hear that you did not come across your Christmas bins. We do have tracking on our trucks, and we also have cameras. We checked both the cameras and the tracking, and nothing was taken off the truck by the movers, and when the truck was checked in there were no boxes or bins found in…
Arizona Discount Movers were polite, professional, responsive, careful, and communicated frequently before and on the day of the move. The really went above and beyond to move my elderly sister from Prescott to the valley. We had to change the date, had a huge storm causing delays the day of the move, we had some not boxed items when they showed up and the movers were calm, polite and hardworking every step of the way. They wrapped furniture with blankets and plastic wrap from top to bottom.
We are happy to hear the movers were polite, professional, and careful. We strive to be all that and more. So to hear that in your review is so great. We are very thankful you chose our company over all the other companies out there.
Moving is terrible. Moving in the summer on a 110 degree day is even worse. AZ Discount Movers made it SO MUCH BETTER! Their communication prior to moving was fabulous. They were completely transparent about pricing with no hidden costs or additional add-ons at the end. Chris and Aaron arrived within the 1 hour time window we scheduled and worked so so efficiently. They had all the supplies they needed to protect my items and were incredibly professional.
Thank you for the 5 star rating. We are thrilled to hear that your moving experience with our company exceeded your expectations. We appreciate your kind words about our transparent pricing efficient and professional movers, and attention to detailing handling your belongings.
