1-star Google reviewLaura S.5 years ago
Absolutely horrible experience. The people we spoke with when we were pricing out options were very nice and they provided a reasonable quote considering the amount we had. They used an AI software to take a tour through our home to see how much we would be moving. Then, the day before the move, we got a call from a manager and he did not seem to know much about what we needed, including packing etc. That made us a little uneasy.
1-star Google reviewHyuna K.5 years ago
Overall, I have nothing great to say about this moving company. I wish I could rate this company 0/5 stars. My sister and brother-in-law utilized this moving company's services and we were extremely frustrated. Upon opening the moving truck, it was obvious to all of us that there was no care put into any of the packings. For example, a CD organizer case that would have taken 2 seconds to close was completely open and CDs were found all along the perimeter of the truck.

Hello, Hyuna . We are sorry to hear about your experience, but we thank you for sharing this with us. After further digging into the circumstances of your move it seems that we loaded your items onto a truck for another company.

If you care about your belongings and want your things to be treated with respect, avoid Fox Moving & Storage of Chattanooga and look elsewhere for different moving company. I went to help my friend who had used them to transport the personal possessions belonging to his father and mother who had recently passed from Tennessee to California. I was absolutely appalled and mortified by what I witnessed. The first thing you saw after opening the doors was a 65 inch Samsung LCD TV lying faced down.

I phoned Fox Moving on the afternoon of 07/20/2021 and spoke with Chad to schedule load only assist for 07/24/2021. I was informed there was a one hour deposit due of $165 but never was it discussed the deposit was non-refundable. Later that same afternoon I learned we had sufficient help to load the belongings ourselves. I called back to the company, on the same date, to cancel the services but there was no answer. I then called back the next morning and explained the situation.

Good afternoon Tiffany, we are sorry to hear that you were unhappy with our policies. We do have these polices in place for a reason. When our availability fills up we have to turn other customers away because a spot was saved for your move.

1-star Google reviewEarl R.4 years ago
Absolutely the worst moving experience we have had. The company subcontracted the job. The subcontractor showed up with a smaller than promised truck, and then he went on vacation leaving an inexperienced crew behind. The young crew essentially complained the entire time and made little progress. My wife and I had to start moving items to the truck ourselves just to make some progress and we are around 70. After arriving at the destination the crew only wanted to unload into the garage and not the house.
2-star Google reviewpattie A.5 years ago
First day they left with half a truck loaded at 330. Not knowledgeable about disassembling sleep number bed. Was told there would be more than 3 people to load but that didn’t happen until 330 on day 2 when we had to be out of house by 5:00 which we were not. Delivery day all 3 trucks arrived with what appeared to be day laborers as they weren’t familiar with what to do or how to do it. Even though we try old them which rooms everything went in several boxes were in wrong rooms.
1-star Google reviewAnne C.4 years ago
I have never seen so much damage. This was just a local move and not a cross state or cross country one. Frankly, It was a perfect storm. They showed up 1.5 hours late. And it took many more hours than they said it would. Therefore costing tons more than they said it would. Worst of all, so much of my furniture is damaged with gashes, scratches, broken legs. It's like 20 pieces of damaged furniture and so many smaller items that I can't list them all. bins were ripped. The clock was broken.
2-star Google reviewJerry R.5 months ago
We recently had a local move in Chattanooga. Overall the two young men on the crew did a pretty good job although they arrived 1.5 hours later than the scheduled time and we didn’t receive a courtesy call informing us of the tardiness. I have 12 years previous experience in the moving industry and I only have one observation that needs to be brought to the attention of Fox Management.

Fantastic service at a very good price! Having used movers before and having bad experiences, I never thought I’d be excited about movers, but Fox Moving was great. The movers were polite, efficient, careful, and responsible. Their price was the best we got out of 3 others. Take care of them and they take care of you. We’ve unpacked everything and things were packed safely but not under packed (too little per box). When they picked things up and dropped off, I walked them through the house and gave directions.

Hi, John. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!

5-star Google reviewAshley H.4 years ago
Three months after we moved to Georgia from Arkansas, we hired Fox Moving to help us move us out of three temporary storage units into our new home. From the very first phone call to the minute they drove away, we were so impressed by their professionalism, friendliness and communication. Chad helped me plan and schedule the move, thinking through the most efficient way to do things and all of the little details. Two days before the move, they called to confirm all of the plans.

4-star Google reviewTim B.3 years ago
A SUPER rough start. I must say communications is key with a service company and they failed miserably in that regard. If not for the crew that EVENTUALLY showed up they would have deserved 1 star. We set up a move for our son for a Saturday at 9 am. They kept putting us off all day saying they would get to us soon. We always had to initiate contact they didn't call us. Come to find out they fired a crew the day before so they were short.

We do apologize for the scheduling issue, we were completely caught off guard with the issues we were trying to simultaneously work out on our end as the day went on… thank you for your patience with us and so glad we were able to make you happy in the long run and were very satisfied with our crew…

5-star Google reviewAdam D.5 years ago
Zach and Eric arrived on time and were very professional and quick moving. Both of them were polite and took care of our things as if our items were theirs. Not once did they stop to take a break or seem like they were just going through the motions and trying to rush to get it done. Once we arrived at our new house they quickly unloaded all of our belongings just as quickly as they had loaded them up.
