Please DO NOT be fooled by Focus Movers’ website or pictures. Focus Movers is completely UNPROFESSIONAL, LAZY and UNSKILLED! First of all, they did not call my family to confirm the moving appointment, we had to contact them. Nor did they bring adequate tools or supplies, on top of which, they showed up late and appeared uninterested and disoriented.

The company was able to fit me into their busy schedule really fast and I appreciate that. On the other had during the moving process the movers had to do something extra in order to get my piece of equipment into the house. It was not a difficult task. I was on FaceTime as they were moving the equipment. After my Father-in-law explain to them that it was ok for them to take the equipment out of the bag, one of the movers yelled out loud. “That’s going to be an extra cost”.

HORRIBLE experience all around!!! About a half hour after my scheduled time I get a phone call from the crew stating they couldn't find my address, come to find out the text the office sent to the guys was "autocorrected" and my street name was changed. The office then called me to explain they would be about 45 minutes, no apology nothing but a "yup it happens". When the guys finally do arrive everything was broken down and moved into the truck in about an hour and a half.

Thank you for your response. Everything that you mentioned will definitely be looked into.

Please start off by getting a contract with Focus Movers so you know exactly what you’re getting yourself into. I was originally quoted a $100 an hour rate for two guys. I had a bedroom set, a dinette, a crib and some boxes. However, I called back before the move to confirm, and it was suggested that I get three guys instead. I agreed, but was never told that the rate changed with the third guy. When the movers got there two of the three men did a pretty fast and efficient job but the third guy did very little.

Thank you Ms Hunter for reviewing our service. This matter will definitely be looked further into. I see in your review where a change of service is made. Of course with any service provider when the service changes so does the price.

Overpriced and didn't complete the job I was quoted for. Reply: There was a misunderstanding when I was on the phone that we never resolved before you started working. My main priority was moving the couch and bed, but I also asked for help with everything else and the guy said it was a flat rate. I do appreciate you coming out last minute but I still maintain that I overpaid for what you guys did.
Reply from the business

Seriously Sir ... We charged you under our normal cost to move a King sized mattress and 1 couch. We both agreed on the rate way before we arrived too. We sent 3 men as a courtesy just to get it out of the way for you.

On the call stating service time you said between 3-630p. When I called stating take your time. I said between 4p or 5p. You stated the guy would call when in route. You didn't state 30 minutes out. Even with me stating take your time. At 614pm still no call. You stated with 3 movers it may take 4-6 hours. Arriving to move me 7pm at night times 4 hours would put the completion at 11pm. When did you think I would unpack? You kept repeating the same thing.
Reply from the business

Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to service your move. Heads up , you can not call to change your time several times after any company is bending to fit you in because of conflict on your end. We professionally communicated everything with you.

Terrible experience. Rude workers who made the entire experience so much more stressful than it needed to be. Movers used my bathroom without washing their hands before handling my things, were generally rude towards me, insisted on dismantling things, then not securing them so they would be lost in the move, mishandled items despite my asking them to carry MY THINGS a certain way, general unprofessional conduct.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about the level of disappointment that we has caused during your process of moving Mr. Torsell. We are taking accountability to look into this matter and we definitely will get to the bottom of it.

RB Relocation services did an excellent job moving me halfway across the country. After getting numerous quotes for moving companies, I went with this company off the strength of a trusted recommendation from my line sister. Rodney gave what felt like a fair price. They also were the only company that could agree to a guaranteed delivery date in early august without picking up my stuff 3 weeks in advanced.

5-star Google reviewJohn M.6 years ago
An easy 5 stars. Let me tell you why: We had never hired movers before and were a little leery. We had packed most of our items but wanted to hire movers to deal with the big stuff as we are not in our twenties anymore. Went with Focus on the recommendation of a friend and was not disappointed in the slightest. They finished their previous job early and called me to arrange the move sooner, which worked out very well for us. They loaded up and had everything in our new place quicker than I expected.

5-star Google reviewJessica G.9 years ago
Focus Movers were very professional and friendly. Travis and Anthony moved everything out of our apartment and to our new place in 2 hours. They were very up front about the time it might take, taking into account driving to the new location and elevator access. Jason called us the day prior to confirm and was very flexible when our moving time needed to be changed on short notice. Travis and Anthony called us when they were on their way on move in day and kept in touch on the way to the new location.
