1-star Google reviewEli B.2 weeks ago
The movers on the ground were pleasant to work with. They were not lazy, but were under-staffed. They did adjust the pricing on my move when the day came, when the size of the move was found to be substantially less than had been quoted (because we had sold and moved much). They were more than 5 hours outside the window for the scheduled packing appointment, arriving close to 10:30 pm, and then unable to accomplish much packing at all, making the next day (move day) especially difficult.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand how frustrating it can be when a move doesn't go exactly as expected, especially when timing is important. Every move is unique, and factors such as the size of the move, building access, traffic, or other unforeseen circumstances…

(updated review) I discovered hidden damage on several expensive picture frames 4 days after the movers left. Sent email with pictures to local manager and he was very unprofessional and woluld not fix damage. Also, the movers stand there the day of the move requesting you "give them a good review" and hand you their phone. High pressure tactic to get high Google rating. Stay away from this company.

2-star Google reviewLane S.a year ago
I am not impressed with this company. I was given a quote for a move that I thought was getting me from point A to point B with the storage fee included. I later found out the day before my move that I was only quoted for loading, transportation to their storage facility, and storage for 1 month. I was told delivery of my items for a 3 bedroom home would be an additional fee of almost $1,000.
1-star Google reviewJustin Z.8 years ago
The most awful experience I have ever had. These guys have done 3 moves for members of my family and things were fine. I called them to set up a move. Told them in only had 5 things but that they were all very heavy and would require several strong guys (pinball machine, 2 safes, a large heavy wood bar that they had previously moved for me into the basement). I explained all this on the phone to them. Saturday rolls around and 2 skinny guys show up and go, yeah we aren't moving that.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY FOR YOUR MOVE!! Leaders moved my property from a storage unit to my house. Here is what happened: Boxes containing fragile things were not handled with care, causing damages approximating $1,000. Boxes were not put in the rooms they were marked for and instead stacked in one room to the ceiling. Some of my furniture was damaged because they didn’t use the moving blankets that were readily available.
1-star Google reviewHayley7 months ago
Would not recommend! The process leading up to the move seemed promising. They called the day before for a move window beginning between 12-2. At 1:56 pm the day of the move, I received a call that our move window was moved to 3-5pm. Delays happen, no big deal. However, 5pm came and went with no further communication and no movers arriving. Movers finally arrived close to 5:40. The movers were kind and courteous.

1-star Google reviewCheyenne A.4 years ago
Unprepared and unprofessional. A colossal disappointment every step of the way.Was told with complete confidence that my move was possible. I had explained the difficulty with the new location and was reassured before making my moving apt over one month out that it wouldn’t be a problem. I was very nervous as this was a difficult and heavy move(piano to a third floor apt), but after overconfident reassurance was told everything would be fine. I made my apt and waited a month.
2-star Google reviewOlivia B.2 years ago
The experience my husband and I experienced with Leaders Moving in 2020 was great. We had four great movers as well as an in-office estimator who went above and beyond to be helpful. Moves are stressful and overwhelming, and our 2020 crew made it easy. Our 3-man Leaders crew this time was the complete opposite. They were a horrible disappointment on the day of the move as well as throughout the claims process.

5-star Google reviewBill C.2 years ago
Overall, a very positive experience. A fast and reasonable quote. Good communication. Jaylon and DeQuan did a great job. They arrived on time and were personable and professional. Pleasant conversation, too. Jaylon updated my quote quickly because I had some last minute items to add. They had a great work ethic, even trying to power through when both elevators were broken (I was on the 6th floor…thankfully, they were fixed quickly. I would not have made the guys finish the job if they hadn’t).

Wanting an great stressless, affordable, professional, outstanding customer service in a moving company?? Well you need not look any further! I'm sometimes hard to please, but after calling Leaders and speaking with Amanda I knew I had the right company! Outstanding customer service! Very professional! She listened to what the needs were and took it from there.

5-star Google reviewTylera year ago
My movers, Moe and Deondre, did a phenomenal job moving my wife and I across two states. They were fast, efficient, and very courteous. They also worked hard in the a few of the hottest days of the year. Also came in under quote! Would definitely choose them again.

5-star Google reviewKieth B.a year ago
I needed simply to have a china cabinet moved from downstairs to my gameroom upstairs. Did I say simply? Heck no. This thing is massive and made out of solid wood and leaded glass. Fortunately, this company sent Zach, Marcus and Will. Very prompt, very courteous and very professional. Zach is a leader and should be recognized for his amazing can-do attitude. I should also point out that other companies wanted to charge me by the hour AND charge an insane trip fee.
