The rating breakdown

2 of the 28 ratings in Google’s published star breakdown for MG Moving Services are one or two star.

Worked out from 28 ratings. That is enough to publish but few enough that one more review moves it noticeably, so read it as a hint rather than a measurement.

1-star Google reviewTina L.7 years ago
I needed help moving and was on a limited budget. My ex-husband changed the locks the day before the move preventing me from going ahead with the move. I had already paid a deposit. I called to see if the money could be refunded since I had no idea when I’d be allowed in the house. My Guys Moving refused to refund the money since “I hadn’t given 24 hours notice”. Completely illegal to get paid for services rendered when you received no actual service.
Reply from the business

I am sorry about your situation. We have a 48 hour refund policy because we cannot sell time that is booked. This policy is clearly stated in the confirmation e-mail all customers are sent. We have you in pending status as per your request. You said you wanted to reschedule.

What satisfied customers point to

The same method, applied to the four and five star reviews. Most movers are praised for the same handful of things, so what is missing here is often as telling as what is present.

Thank you for moving us so professionally! The crew called to tell me when they were arriving and arrived on time. They did a quick survey of our job and then moved quickly and efficiently. They did whatever we needed them to do and were so very nice. Everything arrived is good shape (no damage) and all our furniture and filing cabinets were placed where we needed them. Moving is not fun, but My Guys made it as easy as possible. We would definitely use them again. Thank you!

We did this move as a donation to the READ center. They do a great job helping older people and people who have English as a second language learn to read. Karen thanks for the review and all your group does!

Customer service! From the start this company took the extra effort to help me with my move. After buying a house they understood I was on a budget. They happened to be completing a move near my old house and were able to save me hundreds of dollars in supplies by dropping off some used boxes. The guys took good care of my furniture. They worked so hard that they completed the job three hours ahead of the estimated time shedding hundreds off the estimated price. Great job guys.

I called them on a Friday morning and they were able to provide their service for Saturday, the next day. Not only were they prompt and courteous and willing to address my last minute need, there was no damamge to any of the items moved. I would highly recommend to anyone to use My Guys Moving and Storage for all of their moving needs.
