In their own words
I hired this so called "moving company" to move me to a new location. They showed up with two very small trucks and immediately wanted to charge me an additional day of service at almost $2000.00. I refused as I was honest with the "owner" when booking their services as to how big my home was. The movers tore the fabric on my sofa, mattress, and a chair. They also deeply gouged my wood bedroom furniture in several places.
We sincerely apologize for the experience you had and appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. We take your concerns very seriously and are committed to resolving them.
We hired Joyful Logistics to do a local move of restaurant equipment, and provided a detailed list of the items and sizes. When the movers showed up (1 hour late), they did not have the right truck, and the truck that they had did not have a lift gate. They contacted their management to determine what to do, and waited for a return call. After 45 minutes of no response, I called the management, and only received voice mail.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your move. It is unacceptable that our team was unprepared and did not provide the service you expected. Your feedback is crucial, and we will address this situation with our team to ensure it does not happen again.
I would never recommend these people to my worst enemy. Starts with 1 1/2 hrs late and high. Seemed clueless on moving things. Were told they would take everything apart. They didn’t know how to do this. Had to show them how to use bubble wrap. No organization of furniture into the trucks whatsoever. Then when they finally got the trucks loaded up. They showed up 1/2 hr after we did. High again. Then they finally started unloading. Then we see how much stuff that they damaged.
We sincerely apologize for the experience you had with our moving services, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Your comments highlight several serious issues, and we are committed to addressing these matters internally.
On the day of the move, I paid my invoice via a link they sent in an email. I used one the of the payment options available on their website, which was my bank account. The manager called me after the move was complete to tell me that they do not accept bank accounts as a payment method, so I would have to pay the entire invoice by another method. The payment didn't show up as processed when I looked at my account, so I then paid using my debit card. Then they processed the bank account payment on Monday.
We sincerely apologize for the frustration you've experienced, Matt. For ACH payments we only accept Zelle for this reason… it takes 5-7 days to process like a check. We are unable to refund the amount until it processes on our end.
My mom planned to have this company come to pack and move for her today. She paid the deposit and today was the day. After being an hour late, they FaceTimed her, saying that they’re trying to rent a U-Haul, but neither of the two guys had a drivers license. They said it was a 3 man job, but one never showed up and he was the one with the license. Then about 10 minutes later they sent a measly text message saying they could no longer do it today and to reschedule.
We sincerely apologize for the experience your mom had, Mailey. This is not the standard of service we aim to provide and we take your feedback seriously. We understand how frustrating this must be, especially given the circumstances of her move.
Would be interested to see a bigger sample of these ratings. The team was on time and very respectful, they take payment upfront as per their contract, however, In my new home, they did notable damage to my flooring, multiple wall paint brushed off, broken one of my new nightstand, back head, six dents on my bed head side. Damaged my dresser front. And for all that they did was waived off 2 hours fee which was 210 $. The damage is far more than what they did to us.
We sincerely apologize for the damage and inconvenience you experienced, Adeel. We take such matters seriously and will investigate the situation further. Your feedback is essential for us to improve our services. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to do better in the future.
BEWARE JOYFULL LOGISTICS LCC HAS NOT OBTAINED THE NECESSARY LICENSE FROM PENNSYLVANIA PUBLIC UTILITY COMIMISSIONS AND HAVE AN F RATING WITH BBB. My move last year was a disaster because of their lack of experience and professionalism. They broke two of my appliances and failed to give any compensation. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. THEY WILL DESTROY YOUR THINGS AND NOT PAY FOR THEM.
Hi Patrick! We apologize for your experience since a mover was being trained that day. We cover .60 cents per lb for any damaged items as stated in the estimate and all other correspondence between us.
They are illegally operating as a local moving company within Pennsylvania. After doing a quick search on the pa govt PUC database it appears they are not registered to move within Pennsylvania. DO NOT USE!
We deeply apologise for any misinformation, John. We assure you that we have all necessary permits and constantly work to comply with all state laws including Pennsylvania. We'll re-check for your concern too. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

In their own words
We moved Wednesday and could not have been happier with the movers! The team was super fast, friendly, and careful with all our belongings. We also appreciated the flexibility, as we had a schedule change before the move-in that they easily accommodated. Great price as well. This will be our first call next time we need to move!
Thank you for your positive review, Cara! We're glad we could assist with your move and that you found our team fast, friendly and careful with your belongings. It's a pleasure to know that you appreciated our flexibility and pricing. We look forward to assisting you again in the future!
Very pleased with this company. Workers were very friendly and helpful. Pricing was reasonable and communication was prompt with any questions or concerns we had. Highly recommend to anyone looking for moving company.
Thank you for your positive feedback, Jill! We're glad to hear that you had a great experience with our team and found our pricing reasonable. Our staff works hard to provide excellent service, and we appreciate your recommendation. If you need assistance in the future, don't hesitate to reach out.
Moved from Pittsburgh to Philly and was extremely stressed about finding a moving company that would be affordable & trustworthy. I'm incredibly happy I found this company to utilize for my move. The woman who I spoke with over the phone about pricing, logistics, and packaging was professional and extremely prompt to respond when I had a question. Not only that, but the two movers that helped me with this across-state move were good guys, easy to work with and got the job done perfectly.
We truly appreciate your business and feedback!
Joyful Logistics is SO good at what they do, I recommend them wholeheartedly! I’m a wedding planner and had a client who needed a truck full of wedding decor/gifts/miscellaneous items moved from the venue to their home at the end of the night. My entire experience with them (from my conversations with Sheree to the items being safely delivered) was a positive experience. Everyone I interacted with was kind, responsive, and excellent at their job. They will be #1 on my list both for my future clients and personally.
Thank you Susy! We’re so happy we could help. Can’t wait to work with you again 🙂 …
