In their own words
Dishonest, unresponsive. Barringer did a large move for me on two occasions. On the first move many items were lost and there was a delay in one truck of items reaching me for over a month. They did make some allowances for this on the second move. However, there were damaged items and I had paid almost $800 for insurance in each direction. There was insistence that I agree all was received in good condition but I refused to do so until inspection of the items and packed boxes.
We used Barringer a month ago to move us. I wouldn't give them 5 stars for several reasons I'll address but they were professional and nice and moved us without any damage. I am over a month out and still looking for items that were either packed incorrectly, labeled wrong or put in the wrong rooms. We originally wanted Barringer to pack everything and move us but decided to pack the majority or our items prior to our move.
Mrs. Keefer, I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your moving experience. This comes as a surprise to me as we never received any negative feedback from you about your move until this review. We did try to contact you, … More
Competitive in price does not apply in my case. I was told this is how much it is and that's that... also, i was told they gave me a break in price - instead of $175 per hour, it would be $160 per hour with 4 personnel. the whole job would be about $600 - $700. it was a small job with very little furniture, no packing involved. i went with someone else.
A quote is a rough estimate but when you have a company sending more people then they quoted you for and then charging you for things you didn’t ask for, you end up paying through the nose. I’ve never been in a situation where what has been …
My family used Barringer and they damaged furniture and certain pieces went missing. It took 4 months of phone calls for them to finally make a feeble attempt at resolving our issues. Use them at your own risk.
Justin was thorough with questions asked and estimate prior to moving day. The guys that came out on moving day were very nice and worked hard to get our stuff moved to our storage units. …

It was a pleasure dealing with the folks at Barringer Moving and Storage. Throughout the process, communication was quick, thorough and clear. The price was extremely reasonable, and the crew was very polite and hardworking. We will certainly be using them again.
Hi Mark, Thank you so much for your kind words and 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear … More
We moved from Port Charlotte, FL to Hickory, NC. I received bids from a mover in Florida and a mover in Hickory. I liked the idea of working with a family owned business and I felt very comfortable discussing our move with Keith Curtis at Barringer Moving. The three men drove down to Florida, carefully packed the moving truck and delivered our furniture safely to our new home in Hickory. My experience is that the company is reliable, the employees are caring and friendly and the prices are fair.
Hi Frank, thank you for sharing your experience with Barringer Moving! We’re so glad that Keith and the team could make your move from Port Charlotte to Hickory a smooth one. Knowing that you felt comfortable with our family-owned business … More
Absolutely the best moving experience in my life (...and I'm 73 years old!). Barringer Moving is professional, very responsive, courteous, on time. They maintained email, voice and text contact throughout the process. They found a small …
Great to hear Stephen and we appreciate you sharing your experience here with others! It was our pleasure serving you and we'd be happy to do so again. :)
Reached out to Barringer moving for a move out of state. Keith was very accommodating as I wouldn't be able to be at the storage unit on the day of the move (The move out from the storage unit went flawless). The estimate was fairly priced and communication was solid the whole process. The crew asked me what time would be convenient for the move in, and they showed up at that time. The crew was fantastic, funny, and enjoyable. They got the move in done in great time.
Hi Jonathan, Thank you for sharing such a detailed and positive review! We're delighted to hear that Keith, Randal, and the crew made your out-of-state move a seamless … More
