In their own words
I have no idea how this company gets 5 star reviews. The worst moving company. They botched the date of my movie and I didn’t even know that they subcontracted it to an outside company (RT Movers, horrible). And the fee was astronomical, anything but “Fair Price” Some things were missing or broken.
We are terribly sorry that you had this experience. hope all is well now
Movers were great. Unfortunately we had to leave our new pool table behind. Initial quote with th caller said it’s no issue. Movers came and said they cannot and they are always having inexperienced people take orders. We called other moving companies but they were weeks out. Lost a 7k pool table cause of this. So in total with the loss and moving charges I’m out 10k.
Kevin, We apologize you had to leave the pool table that needs special care that we … More

Wanted to move 2 pieces of restaurant equipment. 1 was kegerator on wheels and the second was a slush machine boxed and on a pallet. The pick up location was 1/2 a mile from their location, and move was 2 miles at the most from the pick up …

In their own words
Booking my move online was quick and simple, done in just a few minutes from my phone. On moving day the crew showed up in Quartz Hill right on time and ready to work. They packed everything up efficiently and had me on my way sooner than I expected.
Relocating to a historic row home in Lancaster came with a massive headache because the street parking was entirely taken up by a local weekend festival. The truck had to park a whole block away, and I was absolutely sure the crew would just want to reschedule. Instead, the Fairprice Moving team loaded my massive solid pine wardrobe and oversized couches onto heavy-duty rolling carts.
Two gentlemen moved us we had several heavy items they were professional and courteous. They put the furniture exactly where I asked no marks scratches on anything that they moved. Some of the items had to go all the way to the floor of the home and it was all done in a timely and professional manner. I would definitely use them again!
Excellent communication throughout the entire process. Everything was packed, transported, and delivered safely and on schedule.
