In their own words
Movers were rude, disrespectful in my home. They left numerous large items at my old house. Lost or stole some items and broke others without replacing. Then refused to respond! DO NOT USE!!!!!
Dear Kolbi, We would politely like to disagree with you. Our movers provided their best as soon as they arrived. They broke down all of your furniture, wrapped everything, and packed our truck to its full capacity. Unfortunately you did not disclose all of the items you had.
NO SHOW. My husband and I called several times asking for an ETA and no one followed up. Something happened with the movers and they couldn’t get here on moving day. But we had to call to find that out. We were very stressed and upset. My husband and I had to find other arrangements and he had to help with the move with a FULLY RUPTURED ACHILLES. Worst experience of our lives. Granted, they did try to fix the issue for us but at that point, all trust was lost because we had one day to clear the come.
Hi Dazar, We appreciate every review from our clients. We believe in accountability, but this is simply NOT the truth. We have done several thousands of military moves for our community. We have a SAM number and we are proud of servicing our military.
Horrible experience. Not only was the final bill way over the amount quoted but I was charged for 6 people and only truly saw 4 working. One handled the lightest items and took his sweet time and the "boss/supervisor" did nothing other than direct or organize boxes. One individual was smoking his vape which clearly had thc/cbd in and allowed as he was smoking it in front of all the others including the supervisor. This same individual was the one dismantling my master bed and out the screws.
Dear Public, Our company is committed to accountability and transparency in every service we provide. However, we would like to clarify the circumstances surrounding this particular situation, as the claims made do not accurately reflect what occurred.
I was given a 2:00–3:00 PM arrival window, but the movers didn't arrive until approximately 6:15 PM. As a result, my move wasn't completed until around 10:30 PM. I understand that delays happen, but a delay of over four hours without proactive communication is unacceptable. I had to call the office multiple times throughout the afternoon just to get updates, and had I not reached out, I'm not sure anyone would have contacted me.
Hi Alyssa, First, we want to sincerely thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We understand and apologize for the frustration caused by the delay in getting to you.
The company itself will do and say all the right things to get the job. However the follow up professionalism in the office is not good. They don’t answer their phones or call you back. One of their movers did a no-show, apparently the second time. Luckily George stepped up to help and he and Thomas were awesome once they got here three hours late. However Lamont created poor expectations by saying he would take my call if I needed support or had questions until they got there.
Hi Laura, I am happy you and I were able to work things out over the phone. We are sorry for our tardiness. We were short staffed already due to the holiday weekend and it made it a lot worse when one of our men called in. I am happy that we did find a solution, and our men finished strong.
My experience with Fatboy Slims Moving Company was overall below average and very unprofessional. The move got done, but not without lots of issues. Movers were scheduled about a week before the move, and Alex was super helpful and responsive in getting movers scheduled/discussing 2 guys vs 3 for my move. Day of, movers gave me a 1 hour window, and didn't show. I called Alex who let me know they had a staff meeting and the guys would be two hours later.
I had a move scheduled for next week, deposit paid and confirmed at the end of January. I received a call from a man named Rich asking if I would like to change my move from 2 movers to 3, more per hour but would get it done quicker. I called back to try to confirm this change and no one answered or called me back. Called and left 3 additional messages over 3 days and emailed the lady who had scheduled everything with me. Crickets.
Hello Justin, This is completely incorrect. Your representative was out of the office due to a medical emergency with her 7 year old daughter. You were calling into her direct line, and your messages were going straight to her voicemail.
During any moving process accidents happen. This company guarantees they will insure your things. Their guarantee is restore damaged property. Anyone reading this ask yourself if a soaked mattress can be restored or is anything like the quality you owned prior to sitting in leaky trucks. Tracie is my restoration specialist aka quality control. If anyone is looking for a great deal on a goodwill donated mattress talk to Tracie cause she’ll make sure yours is exactly that.
Hi Russell, We understand your frustration and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you’ve experienced. Our goal is always to ensure that any damages are addressed promptly and fairly.

In their own words
I found myself having to schedule an immediate pack and ship of household goods out of state. I had recently received a flyer in the mail from Fatboy Slims Moving (FSM) and decided to give them a call to see if they could help me on such short notice. Carrie answered my call, and she couldn’t have been more polite, helpful, professional and informative. She was able to schedule a pack and load for the next day and have it done (including delivery and unload) under my budget.
Hi, David. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
Today, I engaged the services of Fatboy Slims Company LLC and had the pleasure of working with Virgil, Adam, and Ben. Ben's professionalism, efficiency, and respect for both time and space significantly contributed to my positive experience, earning the service a four-star rating. While the team promised protective covers, they were not provided, and the truck loading was less effective due to miscellaneous items as they said.
Hi, Abdulyounus. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
From the beginning, Fatboy Slims Moving Company offered outstanding customer service. The quote was spot on (great price that was reasonable and affordable), all of my questions were answered to my satisfaction (my mind was put at ease each time I called), and the actual move was flawless (Ian and Chase arrived on time, they were courteous, they were respectful of my furniture and surroundings, and they completed the move within the scheduled time).
Hi, Stephanie. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
I recently used Fat Boy Slim’s Moving Company out of Colorado Springs. While the move itself ended up costing more than what I was originally quoted and the crew took longer than anticipated, I will say the level of customer service and care ultimately made a big difference. The team was extremely attentive and handled my belongings with caution and respect, which is something that’s hard to put a price on.
Hi, Mckenzie. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
