The rating breakdown

7 of the 25 ratings in Google’s published star breakdown for EJ & Sons Moving Service are one or two star.

Worked out from 25 ratings. That is enough to publish but few enough that one more review moves it noticeably, so read it as a hint rather than a measurement.

2-star Google reviewLee2 years ago
The first time I used EJ & sons they were excellent.. the second time the owner was in charge of the move.. First he forgot about the move date. Got his guys there 2 hours late. Then proceeded to pack the truck in a very unorganized manner. When I asked him to tie down the boxes he treated me as if I was a stupid female who did not know what I was talking about. He complained that I was stressing him out. I figured he would do as I asked but he did not. I gave his 2 guys a tip and he demanded one for himself too.

Dont use these guys, the owner is rude and quoted us one price and ended up asking us for more money when the job was finished.

For reference, I've moved twice in 10 months and used movers. I moved from a 3 bedroom house to a 3 story townhouse, then into a 4 story house. My moves took 4.5 and 5 hours with 3 movers. EJ & son's recently moved my Grandma. We had just moved her 4 months earlier and she moved back to the exact apartment she left. It took my 75 year old uncle and 2 cousins in their 40's 2 hours to move her. It took EJ & son's around 5 hours to move her and she had even less stuff than her first move.

Don’t use these people. They scheduled me for the wrong day and totally screwed me. It’s a father and son and they don’t communicate with each other. I called and the dad said “you must have scheduled with my son” and so I call the son and he says “you must have scheduled with my dad”. They both talk like idiots and stumble over their words. Use Kingsley moving, they are getting to me the same day I called them and they speak intelligently and keep good records of things

First three times for our family were great! This time, they showed up on the wrong day. We showed them the communication and they agreed to come another day. Then, EJ called saying it was too cold and he was going to charge extra to show …

Unfortunately as of late due to family emergencies and lack of efficient income, we moved too many times. Our service was unprofessional from the very start. The two guys sent to help us seemed disconnected. They ruined some of our …

These gentlemen did an amazing job moving for us this weekend! They were quick, friendly, and wonderful to work with! They made moving look easy. We would definitely hire them again!
5-star Google reviewNicole M.5 years ago
I highly recommend calling this company for your moving needs. Owner is the kindest most caring individual I’ve ever spoke with. I contacted him late at night and he answered. I needed help extremely short notice, like the next day. He was already booked or he would have helped. However the next day he reached out to ME! Yes me and offered his services for the next day. He knew I was in need and did everything he could to help someone out. Ubuntu.

Moved from Lansing to mason, price was extremely reasonable for the amount we had to move. Aaron and James were so kind and took very good care of all of our items and honestly the nicest people ever. I will definitely be calling them again the next time we move!😊 …
