The rating breakdown

1 of the 24 ratings in Google’s published star breakdown for Family Movers Tri-City are one or two star.

Worked out from 24 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.

1-star Google reviewApril T.3 years ago
1 1/2 hrs Late and did not notify me until I contacted them. Damaged items and offered only an excuse and white out in response to damaging. Note fuel charge they do not disclose. Ask for price breakdown prior to booking/hire as not transparent. $169 hr sounds great until all add ins not disclosed added. Would not recommend.
Reply from the business

Thank you very much for your business. For complete transparency we get to reply too 🙂. You are really complaining about paying for moving. Your bill was for 5 honest hours of service x 169 plus 40 local fuel fee.

What satisfied customers point to

The same method, applied to the four and five star reviews. Most movers are praised for the same handful of things, so what is missing here is often as telling as what is present.

5-star Google reviewArron V.10 years ago
Best movers ever. After other moving company left my 70+ year old parents high and dry Family movers came through big time. Last minute they arranged a truck and movers to come. Two guys moved what 6 were supposed to move from other company. Guys worked most of the night to move my parents and even helped set up their beds for them so they would have a place to sleep. Professional and courteous. I would give them 10 stars out of 5 if I could

Family movers did a fabulous job moving me on the same day from one place to another. It was a stressful and long day but they worked efficiently and were careful to pack and secure everything while loading and unloading. They even went the extra mile to help me reassemble heavy pieces like my bed frame, patio furniture and placed things where they belonged. I would highly recommend them and would use them again! Thank you!
