In their own words
Very unprofessional service provided , booked them last minute since other moving services I use were not available. The movers were not careful with the items and boxes , did not cover any furniture with blankets and wrapped, threw my desk mat outside my apartment before picking it up to move . Misplaced bed frame screw and I had to go hunting for new one to get the frame assembled later by myself as I had requested not to assemble it at my new place .
The expeirence was not great! The crew arrived on time and I did have additional items after going through the check list and I paid for the additional items. I am going to provide you with a list of items that were damaged in the move. I have had bigger "fish to fry" so the reason for the delay. I would be happy to provide pictures if you want them. One crew member complained repeatedly that he was doing more work than the other two.
I hired Leaders Moving & Storage Co. for a full pack service for a 3-bedroom apartment in advance of an interstate move. The professional packers were highly unskilled at best for the service. Boxes of the wrong size were used. Items not wrapped appropriately. For example - they put my kitchen aid in a huge box next to some glass Tupperware. Nothing was wrapped. So the kitchen aid tipped over.
Dalia, we are so sorry that this was your experience. This was not completed to our standard level of care, and I apologize for that. I will give you a call today to see if there is anything we can do to correct this for you.
I used this company for a recent move and had a very disappointing experience with how damage was handled. One of my furniture pieces had the entire base broken off during the move. The movers told me someone would be coming to my home that week to repair it, but no one ever contacted me. When I called the company, I found out the movers hadn’t even filed a claim. Someone in the office filed it afterward and told me it would likely be sent to Columbus for repair.
Chiara, I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience with our damage team. We pride ourselves in good communication and customer care. We understand that you did not receive that. I'm glad to hear our field team was great, and if there is anything we can do to further assist you, please feel free to…
This was by far the worst moving experience that we have ever had. The only reason I gave two stars is due to the fact that the move was timely, reasonably priced, and the manager did come out to try to help things along. Upon arrival they pulled into my driveway blaring loud disrespectful music. They smoked quite a bit to where the smell of cigarettes lingered in our home.
My move with Leaders Moving was a complete disaster. Worst moving experience ever. Unwashed crew with a bad smell and dirty uniforms smashed my furniture, dented my appliances, tracked mud and grease into my houses, walked on my mattress (after 'forgetting" the promised mattress bags), left me with holes in my walls, used rude language in my house and drove their truck through my yard and the neighbor's, making a big rut.
Updated post-job i.e. billing: Dear shoppers - you will see they invoice based on an inventory count. DO NOT have them out to your house until you have ALL OF YOUR MOVING INVENTORY clearly established and identified. We were in the process of packing up and moving smaller things ourselves and was told by Joshua that the crew chief would do an updated count pre-move, which never happened. So we were invoiced based on our original count, not what was actually moved.
Brian, I'm sorry you feel this way. We discussed the inventory with you three times before the move and the crew did a walk-through during the move. The inventory was confirmed. We have two signed copies of your invoice, that we sent you multiple times to confirm and you did.
Leaders - The Movers from Hell We recently contracted with Leaders to pack-load-move-unload our household from Cincinnati, OH to Columbus, OH. Calling the experience an unmitigated disaster is an understatement. The problem, as we understand it, began during the walk-through by the Leaders representative. Evidently, he grossly underestimated the size of our household. We even contacted Leaders twice before our move date to ask about two pieces of furniture that seemingly were not on the inventory.

In their own words
2025: I used Leaders again and the experience did not disappoint. I cannot recommend enough. We are beyond grateful for the hardworking crew of Erik, Ezontae, Darren, James, and a few others that helped throughout. Also, special thanks to the GM Rob for his extra attention and professionalism throughout and even after. 2023: If you read nothing else, do not hesitate to hire Leaders. I am a repeat customer who admittedly had a decent first experience 4.5 years ago.
We recently used this moving company and had an incredible experience thanks to Nixon, Brazzle, Williams, and Donohue. These guys went completely above and beyond from start to finish. Anytime my family or I tried carrying something ourselves, they would immediately say, “Let me get that for you.” Their work ethic and attitudes were outstanding. They ended up moving far more than originally planned and were genuinely happy to help the entire time.
Brady, we truly try to give this experience to every one of our customers. We are very glad you were able to experience what a good move is supposed to feel like. Thank you so much for your trust and please let us know if you need anything in the future. Thank you again!
Quick quote, good price, courteous moving crew. Overall happy with the service. One of my pieces of furniture was broken during the move but they did inform me of the accident.
Leaders would like to thank you for your fantastic review regarding your moving experience. We are pleased you received excellent customer service and we apologize for any damages that may have occurred , our managers have been informed. Please give our office a call to resolve any issues.
Leaders Movers 3 men showed up and were very polite, worked hard throughout the day got done after a full day of work with pleasant smiles all day. Another truck showed up with another crew that were very friendly as well and hard working as well. They wrapped up my interior belongings that needed to be wrapped like they were there’s. The guys wrapped up all my tools together to move them with ease.
