In their own words
Headline: Quoted $704—Charged $2,500. Avoid this company. I had a terrible experience with Flex Moving & Storage. I was given a written quote of $704.00, but they ended up charging me $2,500.00—a nearly 250% increase. Even though they have already admitted to the overcharge by issuing a small partial refund of $208, they are refusing to refund the remaining balance. To make matters worse: Equipment: They didn't even use professional moving trucks for the entire job; they showed up with a truck and a trailer.

An absolute dumpster fire of a company. DO NOT HIRE THESE CROOKS! They are absolute scammers to the core. If Google had a negative star rating for this company, I absolutely would give them this rating. We recently hired Flex to help with moving our family. We got the ‘Gold’ package initially, but were told to go with the ‘Premium’ package. We were told this would be anywhere between $1500 to $1800.

I am extremely disappointed with the service. While the analyst who provided the quote was helpful, the moving day experience was problematic. The quoted amount was $508, I paid $250 initially and was told the remaining $258.30 would be collected on moving day. The laborers mentioned the work is completed within an hour, and the billing team confirmed full payment was received on Feb 2nd.
Hi Rincy — we’re sorry to read this and understand why this would be concerning. … More
Keys - 14 foot trailer only - retaliation charges - had to hire another company to finish job. They had 28 foot truck to finish job. Needed all the space - all furniture has damage - broke contract Make sure to have everything in writing and record all of your phone calls. They only have a 14 foot trailer. We listed everything that we had down to the exact amount of boxes. We even included bigger plants. Once the larger furniture was loaded they refuse to make a second trip ever though you paid for extra hours.
Hi Mikayla, thank you for sharing this. What you described around equipment, handling of items, communication, and billing is not the experience we want anyone to have, and it does not reflect the standards we expect from our teams. … More
We were in constant contact with this moving company, but the experience was nothing short of frustrating. The billing and customer service teams clearly don’t communicate with each other. We had confirmed our appointment for 8–10 a.m., only to get a call that same morning asking if we still wanted the service because it was raining. They then changed the time twice, even though we had already taken the day off and arranged everything around this move.
We sincerely apologize for the issues you've encountered and appreciate you bringing them to our attention. For clarity, If you have documentation to share, as well as your name and date we serviced you so we are able to address this … More
Flex lied during the quote, showed up with the wrong equipment, caused way more damage than movers should, and forced me to pay for another company to finish the job. First, the quote had all my items - it was a big move. But they showed up with a pickup and a trailer. Despite flat packing most of my stuff, they had no room for any boxes!! They ran out of space in the trailer and then said they can't put anything in the bed of the truck. Should have said that before they started.
Hi Oleg, thank you for taking the time to share this. What you described is not the level of care or professionalism we expect from our team. … More
I had a highly disappointing experience with Flex & Store’s mover and management service. From start to finish, the process was marked by poor communication, lack of professionalism, and an overall disregard for customer expectations. Scheduling was disorganized, with delays that were neither clearly explained nor properly communicated. On the day of service, the movers arrived late and appeared unprepared.

I'm very happy with my experience with Flex. I received assistance from Omar and Anthony who were outstanding and helped with my move out from a 1Bhk apartment to a new apartment. They were really nice to talk to! Extremely hardworking and kind. Delivered just as promised. No hidden costs and everything done very smoothly. I highly recommend Flex to anyone who's planning for a move. The experience has been seamless! Thank you both!
Thank you for choosing Flex for your recent apartment move here in Detroit! We are so glad to hear that Omar and Anthony delivered the smooth, seamless experience we always aim for, keeping everything transparent with no hidden costs.
The movers (Ron, Omar, Kerwin, & Anthony) were great and caring. They showed genuine care about moving my things, as if it were their own, from start to finish. 👍🏽 The business aspect of the services could have been a bit more transparent upfront. …
It sounds like Ron, Omar, Kerwin, and Anthony took excellent care of your belongings, though our upfront communication about the business details fell short of the full transparency we promise in Detroit.
Kamya, Courtney, and Tyral all did a great job. However, the truck wasn't big enough to move everything out of my apartment or storage area.
Thank you for choosing us for your move in Detroit, and we are so glad to hear that Kamya, Courtney, and Tyral did a great job. Our local moving team is committed to providing capable, steady service so every detail of your relocation is handled with expert precision.
