If I could give -10 starts I would. When I received the quote of $500 for 3hrs for a truck and 2 man I booked for the move with no problem. The day of the moving they arrived 15 mins late, then spent 15 mins working on their truck door that was not opening, I was pleased to know they wave 30 mins since they didn’t start on time but 30 mins after. The driver gave me the paperwork to sign and they started wrapping everything.

You were advised of the packing materials charges and the services are billed by the hour. Furthermore you received a discount. It is interesting to note that your parents paid the bill without comment or complaint.

Fake reviews has to be, they are literally moving things into my home now. Damaged a desk which was only $100 off of Amazon and wasn’t taking accountability at all. Out of all the things I own, being my child’s bedroom set which is $3,000 from Pottery Barn why would I pick $100 desk to lie about for damages. Being loud and downright rude and as soon as they pulled up they demanded payment thinking they might get robbed of the rest of their money which is absolutely ridiculous 🤣 I literally may have to call the…

Hello Jordan, We’re genuinely sorry to hear about your experience and truly regret that your move has left you feeling frustrated and disrespected — that is never the standard we hold ourselves to.

1-star Google reviewMiranda R.3 years ago
We were quoted $700 for the move, distance, size of apt, number of boxes, furniture descriptions were all given. Along with description of the building we were moving out of. Per the movers this was a 3+ man job and only 2 were sent. I was told 2 hours to move out and 2 hours to move in and $150 per additional hour. its was a 4+ hour move out (they didn't get everything) and a 3 hour move in. The owner should have known better. I requested a refund due to having to pay in order to get my things.
Reply from the business

Dear Miranda, we came to your assistance for a last-minute booking and sent out the crew that you agreed to. Since the move, we have responded to your concerns. You requested a refund based on the original base quote and did not want to pay for the extra time spent on the job. This is unreasonable.

The movers themselves were fine, but the office and scheduling staff are the reason for this review. I scheduled a 12:00pm arrival window and confirmed multiple times that showing up on time “wouldn’t be a problem.” I made it very clear I had somewhere to be afterward, and the office repeatedly reassured me. Despite that, the crew arrived approximately 3.5 hours late. They were running behind all day, yet the office continued telling me everything was on track instead of being honest about the delay.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Desiree. We appreciate you acknowledging the professionalism of the moving crew, and we’re truly sorry for the frustration caused by the delay and the breakdown in communication from the office.

1-star Google reviewMatthew S.4 years ago
The staff and owner are kind and respectful but I was disappointed in the quality of the work I received. The estimate of 5 hours became in reality 10. I was very clear as to the size of the storage unit (10 x 20) filled to capacity, plus a stop for a one bedroom. The truck wasn’t big enough for the storage unit alone so we didn’t complete the move out of the storage unit or pick up the one bedroom.

Horrible communication and professionalism!!! I hired Ft Lauderdale Local Movers to move a single piano from FL to NC. They picked up the piano on October 6th....I have still not received the piano. it is has been two weeks and they cannot give me an estimated time for delivery! I have called multiple times and spoken to three different people who keep telling me they will call back, but they never do. When they do answer my phone calls there is always an excuse.

Hello Juan, I'm sincerely sorry for the frustrating experience you've had with your piano move. This situation does not align with the standards of communication and professionalism we uphold at Fort Lauderdale Movers.

1-star Google reviewClemens S.4 years ago
Not recommended! They offered me an estimated total of $350 in the beginning. In the end, paid a total of $1,300 to move some 1BR furniture (not even boxes) across the street into a new apartment. Was charged $399 for "packaging material" that was sold as "mandatory for insurance purposes". The only thing they did was wrapping an IKEA couch into way too much plastic... Was asked to pay cash and give both guys at least $50 tip, because "Zelle was not working".

Hi Clemens, We appreciate your feedback, however, I would have to disagree. You were verbally and in writing explained the cost of the move and terms which you signed for. All moves are a subject to hourly charge and we charge for whatever amount of hours it will take as per local and federal…

I will never use this company or refer them to anyone! Let me start by saying for $1,100.00 for 6.5 hours (which shouldn’t have even took this long😫) is ridiculous. This company sent two workers out to move a 3 bedroom home, which I already had everything box and furniture apart. One of the workers was drunk 🥴 and argumentative with the other worker so unprofessional! The workers tried to charge additional fees to move my TVs which I had to still bring in my own vehicle!
Reply from the business

Just need to note that you wanted 2 men, and you had 3 bedrooms including a bunk bed that needed disassembling, and a huge living room. To wrap, and move out from a townhouse with upstairs/downstairs and deliver to storage, 6.5 hours is very reasonable.

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 reviewJuan P.11 months ago
I recently hired Fort Lauderdale Movers for my move from Weston to Fort Lauderdale, and I couldn’t be happier with their service! From start to finish, the entire moving process was smooth, quick, and stress-free. The team arrived right on time, handled all my furniture and boxes with extreme care, and made sure everything was delivered safely to my new home. What sets them apart from other moving companies in Fort Lauderdale is their professionalism, reliability, and excellent customer service.

After my home was damaged in the April 2023 flood, Fort Lauderdale Local Movers was able to get guys out to help me clear my house with little notice and put what was left of my belongings in storage at a reasonable price. John and Mark did an excellent job! They were efficient, helpful, and careful with my belongings.

5-star Google reviewAlex A.3 years ago
I was selling my house, but had zero time to pack anything since I was working across the country. I googled movers for my ZIP Code in south Florida Cooper City and Fort Lauderdale local movers seem to have the best reviews and plenty of them so I called and Alex immediately answered. He asked for some basic information and told me no problem they would be there and they were right on time.

All of my interactions with the company were top notch, from the initial contact and quote to the follow-ups on the details. I was worried about accommodating the special needs of my father who was the one moving. He has memory issues and therefore could not be the main point of contact. They addressed this concern with no problems. I also had some special instructions on what items needed to moved and which didn’t, again they handled.
