In their own words

1-star Google reviewTricia M.5 months ago
They charged me 450 dollars (plus we tipped the movers $20 each, 60 total) for moving 5 pieces of furniture into our garage (no stairs) and it took them 36 minutes, not to mention they gave us a time window of 1-3 and they showed up after 4. When I spoke to Joshua Curtis about it, he didn't offer to refund any money, or make it right at all.
1-star Google reviewKaylee E.7 years ago
Contacted them due to them scratching up my leather couch by speaking with one of the managers, sent them photos, and never got a response. Will never use them again.
1-star Google reviewA C.4 years ago
I previously had 2 successful and honestly priced moves of my piano with the owner of this company. The quotes for those moves where initially discussed through text message. I mistakingly trusted his verbally provided quote for the move of my whole apartment last month. I contacted him the week prior by phone to discuss my move needs and details, including the budget I was working with. He verbally communicated a plan to keep the move slightly below the budget I stated.
1-star Google reviewAmber S.6 years ago
Let me start with saying how nice and hard the employees who moved us were. They were on time, polite, and fun to work with. They pointed out two items to us that were damaged on accident, they contacted the owner (Josh) and said he would be in contact with us to fix the issues. We gave the employees a huge cash tip. They did great and earned it. We used Courtesy Movers LLC on June 13th. We had not heard back a couple days later so I called and left a message.
2-star Google reviewCarolyn H.8 years ago
I would not recommend this moving company. Even though I saw very positive reviews before booking my move with Courtesy, my experience was negative. Josh quoted me for a 2-hour move (saying that would be more than enough time to move my apartment), but my move took 6 hours. I was very disappointed at the huge cost difference between my quote and what I paid. Also disappointing were my movers, Arthur and Ed. While very kind and pleasant, neither had any urgency and moved extremely slowly.

I took this one to heart, that we couldn’t win this customers happiness. This move was a last minute booking for New Years Eve a day my company would normally be off. I told Carolyn I could try to find a couple of guys that would be willing to work that day if only she could be flexible.

1-star Google reviewLaura M.9 years ago
Was told the crew would be there at 10:00 and they didn't show up until 11:00. In the quote I was told it would take 6-7 hours and it felt like the crew was dragging to take full advantage of this quote. I heard many items/boxes fall and since we are building we moved our items into a storage unit and will not know what was broken until months down the road.
2-star Google reviewSarah V.6 months ago
We hired Courtesy movers to move some of my mother’s possessions from her home to a memory care facility. This was highly stressful and emotional process for us. We wore told that the crew would come between 1 and 3 pm. Nobody called me to tell me that the crew might be late I had to call and check in. After many delays, the crew showed up at 8 pm. This was very disruptive to many, including the residents at the memory care where we were moving in at 9 pm. Not to mention, the employees seemed overworked.
1-star Google reviewChloe O.4 years ago
THEFT. THEFT. Beware. It wasn't the owners fault. The crew. We all know what we pack, especially recently used items. As a woman-I know what clothes i had and now i do not have. I know my household items (dishes, kitchen ware). I no longer Have those either. The truck also took out a neighbor's tree limb. The owner was responsive, but he can't bring back my items. He didn't take them. A dishonest crew did. WHY TAKE SOMEONE'S PROPERTY??

5-star Google reviewJennifer J.9 months ago
I had an incredible experience with Courtesy Movers for both my move and junk removal. I booked my move on short notice, and they were so accommodating, working with my schedule and keeping everything stress-free from start to finish. The team was professional, communicative, and punctual. They confirmed details the day before and even called when they were on their way, which I really appreciated.

5-star Google reviewJessica D.11 months ago
Courtesy movers was an excellent choice! They were the only company that answered my call after attempting to contact multiple companies and had a reasonable price for moving a piano. They were able to get me in next day and were extremely accommodating. They called me the day of the move to let me know they were on the way and the movers were so polite and friendly. We would recommend their service to anyone and would definitely use them again in the future!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Service from Courtesy Movers! I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the outstanding service provided by Courtesy Movers during my parents’ move to assisted living. From the very first interaction, their team demonstrated professionalism, kindness, and genuine care for my parents’ needs. The movers arrived on time, equipped with everything necessary to make the move as smooth as possible. They handled every item with the utmost care, ensuring that nothing was damaged in transit.
