In their own words
Would not recommend. Eric was very professional and courtesy in organizing the move and Shawn was great, but overall I am not happy with the amount of damage to my furniture. The more I unpack and get organized, the more damage I come across. Chunks of wood taken out of my bedroom furniture and dining room table. After spending $1400 for moving service, I'm having to spend more money to fix the damage the best I can, but its all still noticeable.
Dear Brandi, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear … More
If you want tardy, overpriced service for one and half movers, then use these guys. The movers showed up an hour and half after the appointment window, one guy did most of the work, but I had to pay for two. Dont recommend.
Hi scott lewandowski, We apologize that your recent experience with us was not more positive. We appreciate your feedback, as well as your concern. We hope that you decide to join us again in the future! Iowa Moving 1

In their own words
Friendly and fast. Great communication from their coordinator, Eric. We had a last minute ask to move things into a POD so we could stage our house and he made it happen at a great price. Team arrived on time, was friendly and fast. Booking them again for Phase 2 of our move of putting the last items in the POD for the big cross country move! Will update review upon arrival to share how things stayed or shifted in the POD with their packing methods. Post move edit - 10/10 this team did great.

After nearly a half-century at our home and acreage, we had a ton of precious memories to move…maybe literally! Shawn and and Christian were very conscientious, careful, and friendly during our move out. And they were FAST! We were very impressed and requested them for our move-in 2 1/2 months later, to a new city. Prompt and professional must be their watch words. Do yourself a favor and look no further than right here! IOWA MOVING, where they treat your belongings like their own. (Heidi, Ankeny)

These guys were amazing from the first phone call to the moment they finished the job. They worked incredibly hard, completed everything in a short amount of time, and saved me a tremendous amount of stress and heartache. I would recommend them a thousand times over. One thing I especially appreciated was their professionalism. At no point did they ask me to leave a review. They simply showed up, worked hard, and let the quality of their work speak for itself.

The two man moving team were prompt and didn’t waste any time getting things loaded. They were respectful and careful with large furniture. Eric answered all my questions when setting up the time and day with communication as the day got closer to confirm. He made great suggestions on packing as we were doing the packing ourselves and prepping pieces for transport to save time. Would recommend 100% for anyone needing any moving services.
