In their own words
I have never written a review regarding any product or service, generally, because I prefer to maintain a limited online footprint. GroveStars Moving is the single worst decision I've made through the internet. After thorough research and reading reviews I hired Grovestar to move my wife's furniture and belongings from NC to OH. Olga emphasized the quality of Grovestar and downplayed cheaper companies. Grovestar did a great job packing all of the items.
Hello Vivek, Thank you for sharing your experience. I understand your frustration, and I'm truly sorry to hear that your move didn't meet your expectations. We always strive to provide clear and accurate estimates, and I apologize for the price difference.
They doubled the price (from our written contract) when they showed up for the move...even though they had a complete inventory list and pictures of everything in the household! They did NOT do the things they agreed to do in the contract! They were VERY intimidating and pressuring to customer to pay new charges. We had to pay someone else to finish the job since they left without completing the job! Terrible company.
Hi Lisa, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are very sorry to hear about your experience and the issues you faced during your move. This is certainly not the standard of service we aim to provide.
We searched long and hard to find a reasonably priced, great rated moving company to move us cross country. We found GroveStar and thought we had found exactly what we were looking for. BOY WE COULDNT HAVE BEEN MORE WRONG. #1 our belongings were promised on a Friday by the sales person and didn’t arrive until Monday. # MULTIPLE damage was done to our furniture. Seriously. I have in excess of 50 pictures of broken, scaped, or gouged areas in my many beautiful expensive solid wooden furniture pieces.
Hi Kay, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I am truly sorry to hear about the issues you faced with your recent move. We strive for smooth and damage-free relocations. We are looking into this matter to improve our services.
I hired them for out of state moving. On moving day, they ended up charing me $300 extra. (elevator fee, tape fee, this fee, that fee....). They also ended up deliverying 3 days late. When I complained about extra fees and late delivery, all I heard was "You should read your contract", it says we have 3-10 business days to deliver! Whattt???? I was not informed about any of this during my first conversation with sales rep. They do great job selling you the service without informing the customer.
Hi Semih, Thank you for bringing your experience to our attention. I sincerely apologize for the unexpected charges and the delay in your delivery. I understand how frustrating that must have been, especially with the lack of communication.
I don't usually rate and review products and services, but these guys deserve one. By far, the worst moving experience I had in my life. They moved me from Georgia to Indiana. The company send two crew members for a job of four in the first leg of the move. For the two movers to pick up my stuff took about 14 hours even though I only asked them to pack 1/3 of my stuff in boxes.
Hi Koray, Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I am truly sorry to hear about the issues you faced during your move. This is certainly not the standard we aim for, and I apologize for the inconvenience and stress it caused.
I booked this company for a move because they stated that they would be able to accommodate the specific dates that I needed due to a job offer. They had great reviews so I wasn’t as hesitant about using them. I was charged extra for stairs which was expected. They stated that my delivery date would be 3-5 days from pickup. Whenever I called to get an updated eta from the company, I was spoken to very rudely on the phone and hung up on because “they didn’t have time to deal with me”.
Hello Taylor, Thank you for sharing your experience. I sincerely apologize for the rude phone call and the delay in your delivery. That's not the level of service we aim to provide. We are working on improving our communication and scheduling. I hope you will consider us again in the future.
I don't normally leave reviews for services or products. They did quote a low price and we finalized exactly what we had to move. We were quoted a very reasonable price, do not be deceived by this alone. We packed our own home accept for the big furniture, which I was told they would handle and they did. At a charge that was not disclosed. They hit me for packing material at an extremely inflated charge! And fuel surcharge, which I asked about in my reservation. That we would not see any other charges.
Hi Gary, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the unexpected charges. We strive for complete transparency, and it seems we fell short in your case. We are reviewing our pricing to prevent this in the future.
This company moved me 2 weeks before the pandemic. They were eager for my business and assured me all would be taken care of on the front to the delivery end of my move. It was not until I began to unpack my items that I noticed how they were poorly packaged. I was told I would have wardrobe boxes. All my hanging clothes were tossed into boxes with breakables from my bedroom, wrapped in between them.
Hi Catherine, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your move. We understand your frustration regarding the packing. We are reviewing our procedures to prevent this from happening again.

In their own words
Our move was on May 17 from Hallandale to Miami Beach and it was by far the best moving experience we've ever had! From start to finish, everyone we worked with was professional, efficient and helpful! Alex was our moving consultant and he was flexible and patient. The two men who moved our furniture arrived right on time and were efficient yet careful. Everything was in perfect shape when they delivered it, and they assembled all the furniture without any problems!!
David, thank you for choosing us as your moving company. We are glad that we made your move stress free and easy. Please, do not hesitate to contact us in regards of your future moves. It will be a pleasure to assist you.
Overall, this was a very positive experience! The moving team was highly communicative and overall took very good care of our belongings which is hard to find out of movers these days. Cross-country move picked up on a Saturday and was received the following week's Tuesday so 7 business days overall which was incredible! Only critique is payment needs to be easier.
Thank you Jonathan!
TL;DR Best service, great value, fast and efficient, stress free moving. You won't be disappointed. Story below if interested. A couple years ago I had to make a small move about thirty minutes away. On a personal recommendation I gave these people a call. Pauline helped make arrangements quickly, efficiently, and with great humor and responsiveness. I was thrilled with the movers who physically handled the move as well. Everything wrapped, properly secured, polite, professional and quick service.
Hi Jordan, Thank you so much for the glowing review! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with Best American Movers. We're thrilled to hear that Pauline and our moving team provided you with stress-free and efficient service, both times!
I have never experienced such a pleasant and easy moving experience as I did with using Alex and the whole crew at Grovestars Moving. I will definitely recommend to friends, family and co-workers. Their prices were great and I did not pay a penny more than what was on the estimate. They took good care of my belongings and not a single thing was broken.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and great rate we have provided, it was really a thoughtful feedback. I am humbly honored that you have entrusted us your belongings and furniture.
