In their own words
UPDATE: They replied on here for me to give them a call and they never answered when we called them and left messages. Zero customer service. We never got the $103 back that they overcharged us... The negative reviews are valid!!! Don’t ignore them… I tried to give it a few days before reviewing to see if Peter would make it right and Peter is completely unresponsive and will not reply to texts or answer your calls if you have any issues. Very unprofessional and honestly I feel scammed.
Sorry for the bad experience K S. Please give us a call or email so we can ensure you are properly taken care of, because your business and satisfaction is important to us.
I was scheduled a move 2 weeks ahead, then the day of the move I received a call that they would need to reschedule my move to the next day. They booked for the next day and gave me a time frame of arrival. At the last minute of that time frame I get a call that their truck broke down and they will be late. They said they would provide and additional move at no extra cost to make up the time. They showed up 4 hours later and didn't have the extra guy to help move.
Again sorry Brent, it was an unlucky couple days. If you ever need us again in the future we’ll add an extra guy for free plus give you a 10% discount. And we’ll make sure to start you in the morning.
Update: They replied and said to reach out to them directly regarding my concerns. So once again, I did so and they did not answer their phone, return my call, or respond to the text. First, they couldn’t come on the day I had reserved and I agreed to have them come the next day. They arrived on time and the guys were nice. I only wanted one trip, but they didn’t load the items that were most important to me in that first trip, so we had to do two, which cost a fortune.

I appreciate the movers for their hard work and dedication — they didn’t take any breaks and worked tirelessly throughout the day. However, their planning and execution left much to be desired. Poor Prioritization: I clearly instructed them to start with the large items I couldn’t transport myself, then move on to the boxes. Unfortunately, they did the opposite. As a result, there was no space left in the truck for major items like the fridge, washer/dryer, couch, dining table, and 86" TV.
Thank you so much Krishna for such a lovely review!
Horrible experience. Various family members have used this company over the past 3 years and were pleased with our experiences. Our most recent move was very different. Movers were high-school aged boys and although they were friendly and courteous, they were very inexperienced. The move took much longer than it should have, thus several hundred more dollars than originally estimated. In fact, they were not able to complete the job and wanted to return the next day for one more hour.

UPDATE: To address their reply to this review, as a matter of fact we have called and texted several times with the repair invoice that you stated you would reimburse us for. STILL WAITING. Anyone home?? At least we know your Google account works. Should we communicate through this review? We hired Greek Movers for a move in September. They broke the power cord right out of our Peloton Treadmill and the mover casually mentioned it to us, stating he ‘Googled it and it should be $50-$100 to fix’.

Movers’ slow pace, caused 1/2 hour overtime, move was from one apartment to another in same complex, we were given the total without the change and were blamed for having insufficient funds. I helped with the entire move otherwise less would have been moved, but they still didn’t finish moving the larger items from a two- bedroom apartment (they left 2 desks, bed frame, 3 each exercise equipment, shelves, etc.) and refrigerator and stove were already gone.

Tossed my personal belongings like trash. One mover would not help the other no teamwork. Lazy irresponsible not professional. I had to move my beds and mattresses with one mover while the other mover talked on cell walked around smoked pot. they unpacked at my storage unit threw my personal belongings inside did not organize or stack in my 10' by 20' unit.. I have all this space in back I cannot utilize because they threw everything. I would send a picture if possible.
Just a couple things: 1. We moved your entire house in ankle high water. 2. The first movers you hired left the minute they showed up. 3. Nothing was packed in boxes. Sorry you had a bad experience. But felt the record needed to be set strait for this move.

In their own words
Tried two other movers who ghosted and flaked. I remembered Greek movers and gave them a call, Peter answered within 1 ring. Sent pictures over of the hot tub and he gave me a very fair price, I agreed to it, scheduled for next morning at 8. He calls at 7:50 to say they're 10 minutes away, show up exactly on time, load everything up super quickly and delivered to destination without any issues. Peter's communication is outstanding and all the guys working were friendly and hustled.
Happy to be of services Steven! Thank you for the review!
Needed to book a move on short notice. We had an outstanding experience with Greek Movers! Our crew was Koby, Nathan, and Bryan. They were fantastic from start to finish. They were prompt, professional, and extremely careful with all of our belongings, not to mention, strong and fit! Nothing was damaged during the move, and they took exceptional care when packaging and loading our furniture and fragile pieces.
Glad we could help Jens! Thanks for the wonderful review.
I only wished I would have used Greek Movers for my last move! I was referred to by a friend and when I contacted them, the first exchange was them answering my call by saying something along the lines of “how can we make your life easier” Since I had spent three weeks trying to get a hold of a particular moving company to give me a quote, this came as a welcomed relief! The weeks leading up to the move, renovation issues caused me to have to change my move-in date several times.
Hi, Elaine. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
Absolutely thrilled with my experience with Greek Movers! From the moment I contacted them, I felt like I was in the hands of true professionals. The team was not only punctual but also exuded a positive energy that made the whole moving process enjoyable. They treated my belongings as if they were their own, ensuring everything was packed securely and transported without a scratch. What stood out the most was their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile.
Marc we greatly appreciate the time you took to share your experience with us! It was an absolute pleasure working with you and hopefully we can assist you in the future with any of your moving and or junk removal needs.
