In their own words
While I appreciate a response - 6 years later - and I hope it's an indication of improvement - I stand by my original review. They never responded or explored my issues at the time of the move, and the refund they issued was only of my initial deposit, which was nowhere near the cost of replacing my broken entertainment center (the broken door was irreparable), nor to refinish the wood furniture they beat up in the move, nor the additional costs and trouble of having to hire others to help me finish the move…
Habiba, thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry that your experience did not reflect the high standards that Military Veterans Moving People (MVMP) stands for. As soon as we became aware of your concerns, we processed a refund to make the situation right.
RUN FROM THIS COMPANY! Company arrived 2 hours late, was not careful with furniture, one employee tried to steal my deposit and there was a very valuable item that I discovered missing after they left. I reported this to the owner Greg Sledge, who was no help and refused to give me his insurance information so that I could file a claim. I did report this item as stolen and hope they find and arrest the person responsible. The B.B.B has this company rated as an “F “ as of 10/29/2018, and I can certainly see why.
While we respectfully disagree with the statements made in this review, we appreciate the opportunity to clarify what Military Veterans Moving People (MVMP) is truly about. We know that moving is a high-stress time and that not every job is remembered the same way by every customer.
BEWARE! If I could rate this company a 0 I would. I made a reservation a month in advance for 2 movers to help me move. 1 month later on my moving day, the movers never showed up. I tried calling the customer service number to find out what was going on and no one ever answered. Unless you enjoy moving completely by yourself, avoid this company at all costs.
Anna, thank you for sharing this. For anyone reading, this review reflects an experience from 2018. That reservation was fully refunded, and we’re sorry again for the stress Anna felt that day. A no-show is unacceptable—period.
Worst company I have worked with this year. The movers were fine, but the management isn't worth wasting your time with. They promised us two workers at 8am, then again at 8:30, 9, 10, and 11:30. The woman with customer service is a complete waste of a human life, giving only attitude and empty promises up until the minute she stopped answering our calls. She refused to connect me with a supervisor and did absolutely nothing to help.
Alex, thank you for your review and for being so detailed about your experience back in 2015. First and foremost, I want to sincerely apologize for what you went through on moving day.
I appreciated the updates provided as to when they were going to arrive at the house. The furniture was purchased at Big Lots. Upon arrival, when the chair was placed on the floor, it was then moved across the floor and since the chair has a metal base, it scratched the hardwood floors. I now have to pay someone to replace the planks that were scratched. As a moving company, I wish they had placed blankets on the floor before moving and damaging the floor. I pointed out the damage but a remedy was not provided.
Bill, thank you for your feedback. We want to clarify for you and anyone reading that this job was arranged through a Big Lots delivery contract, not through Military Veterans Moving People (MVMP) directly.
Had the absolute worst move. They arrive 5 hours late and they came with 2 men and a rental truck. No furniture pads, no wraps for the draws, and no dolly as was all promised when I booked the move one month ago. They were really rough with my furniture and of course without furniture pads ruined our new wooden furniture we bought a couple months ago. As if it wasn’t bad enough, It turns out the uhaul truck they rented wasn’t big enough for my 2 bedrooms apartment.
My mother died and I could not be as attentive to your concerns as I would have normally. I am very sorry.
Paid a deposit of $99 for two guys to arrive at my house at 1:00 on moving day. This was confirmed on the day prior to moving day. On moving day I received a call stating they could not find us on mapquest. I spoke personally to one of the guys who was supposed t come and gave him directions. A few minutes later, he called me back to say he had "vehicle problems" and would have to take a bus, and could I pick him up at the bus stop near my home. I agreed to this.
Karyn, thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We want to sincerely apologize again for the frustration and stress you experienced during your scheduled move back in 2015.
I hired them last minute so I expected the price to be a little higher but not for the job they did. The guy I spoke to on the phone was friendly but whoever actually did the move is mediocre at best. Don’t hire these people. They charged me $200/hr to do a move out of my apartment and didn’t even finish. On top of that didn’t even have their own trucks so we paid for them to rent someone else’s basically.

In their own words
If you're moving in or around Gainesville, look no further than MVMP — Military Veterans Moving People. These guys are the real deal. I’ve hired movers before, but nothing compares to the speed, discipline, and respect these U.S. military veterans brought to my move. From my apartment near The Nine on 13th Street to my new place closer to Haile Plantation, they handled every step like pros. The crew showed up early, uniformed, polite, and laser-focused.
Thank you so much for this incredible review! We're thrilled MVMP Military Veterans Moving People proved to be the "real deal" for your move in Gainesville, FL. Hearing about the speed, discipline, and respect our U.S.

Becky, thank you so much for this thoughtful 5-star review! 🙏 Hearing you describe our service as “awesome” and recognizing that we deliver both professionalism and reasonable prices really captures what we aim to provide here at Military Veterans Moving People (MVMP).
We were so lucky to have Walter, Ironman and Johnny help us move and they could not have been more amazing. They first put together a strategy for how to pack the truck and immediately got to work. They never stood around and were always working. They were professional but also great personalities and made a day of moving a lot of fun! Also, Greg, who handled the scheduling of the move, was great. He communicated with me all week while we set up logistics for the move and was very nice and professional.
Thank you so much for your incredible 5-star review! 🌟 Hearing that Walter, Ironman, and Johnny made such a strong impression on your move means the world to us. These men, along with every veteran on our team, represent what Military Veterans Moving People (MVMP) is all about: discipline…
Jerome, James & Walter came from G'Ville to Keystone Heights, FL to move me with very little notice, & they were AWESOME! I called the company late Tues. cz you were the only ones open at that time. I explained I had an emergency situation & needed a house, garage & 2 small sheds full of furniture, etc. to be packed & moved on Thurs. The gentleman said, "No problem!" He sent out Walter the next morning to give us an estimate which was EXTREMELY reasonable!
Mary, thank you for the heartfelt 5-star review and for trusting our Gainesville crew on such short notice. Reading how Jerome, James, and Walter handled your emergency move from Gainesville (G’Ville) to Keystone Heights, FL makes me proud all over again.
