1-star Google reviewCamilo R.5 years ago
My suggestion is go somewhere else where they will be upfront about pricing. Received an estimate for $400. Paid a $100 deposit and the day of the move should have been $300, maximum. The day of, the movers arrived and handed me the contract and asked me to sign it. I asked them "it will just be $300 for today right?", to which they answer "yes, unless we go over on time." By the movers' own words this was the easiest move they have done.

Called to get estimate. He showed up late talked the whole time about himself and then never even sent me an estimate. Unprofessional and Total waste of 1/2 of my day!
2-star Google reviewJabari G.8 years ago
Movers took two hours over quoted time. I payed for three movers, but it was like one mover and two temp workers. Movers argued amongst each other and used profanity. Movers did not have necessary tools to take apart large furniture pieces. Just the overall impression that this company was not very organized, and did not come into my move with a gameplan or the right experienced movers I thought I was getting. I only moved one mile away.

My husband and I have used Mike's Moving twice. The first time was in 2017 and everything went smoothly. My husband worked over the phone with June, and she told him he’d receive a $50 discount if he paid cash after the move was completed. As we lived on the west side of town not far from the MM offices, my husband drove over and paid cash after we finished that day. The second move was in May of this year. My husband spoke with Renee, who also offered a $50 discount if the balance was paid in cash.

Horrible, Horrible, Horrible. I had bought a new house and had a move date scheduled over 6 WEEKS AHEAD of the date. I spoke to them several times over the course of the 6 weeks, along with the day BEFORE my scheduled move date. The day of the move, they were supposed to be there at 9:00 a.m. When it was 10:00 a.m., there was no one there and I called. I was told they had engine trouble with their truck, but they were on the way. Then, 11:00 a.m. rolls around.

I have no clue how Mike's Moving has been voted "Best of Tallahassee" in the past. Our move from Tallahassee to Athens, GA was the worst experience we have ever had with a move. We have used both local and national movers in the past (Mayflower and Dale's Pack and Load) for full service moves and have had wonderful experiences. Mike's Moving is a joke. The movers were not only significantly late each of the three days of our move, but they did not contact to let us know they were going to be late.

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND SPEND MORE MONEY TO GET GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE SOMEWHERE ELSE. This company does not know the meaning of customer service, and I'm convinced they don't care to learn how, as long as you keep giving them money. Their staff is under trained and misinformed. It's very hard to get a straight honest answer out of anyone who answers the phone. Good luck trying to figure out what their hours of operation are, because they change so frequently, you'll just waste your time.
1-star Google reviewTallahassee R.7 years ago
Took 9.25 hours to move a 1500 sq foot house which was all packed in boxes except the furniture of course. The move was from one house to another in Tallahassee 6.5 miles apart. Absolutely ridiculous. Two Men and a Truck originally moved me into the one location 4 years ago. That time to move was 10 miles apart. Same situation. All packed up. Took the movers only 3 hours to load and 1.25 to unload. The movers themselves were nice but almost seemed like they are coached to go slow to rack the bill up.

5-star Google reviewDiane S.5 years ago
Great experience moving locally with Mike's Moving. Easy to schedule with David and good communication. Two movers, Sedrick and Brady arrived on time, were extremely courteous, very careful with our furniture and home, and strong and efficient. They work well together and didn't waste any time. Highly recommend them.
5-star Google reviewConnor L.3 years ago
Mike’s Moving is an excellent service! The foreman/owner was incredibly responsive, fair price, and the movers were very trustworthy, careful, and efficient. Sed and Brady were a pleasure to have help with our family’s move.
5-star Google reviewBrandie D.7 years ago
In case anyone needs a recommendation... The crew from Mikes Movers we were 'assigned' yesterday were nothing short of conscientious, thorough and careful. To mention their hard work would be the understatement of the EVER. We had some seriously heavy/valuable pieces to move. This crew moved every piece with good cheer and careful hearts. Helped us arrange it. Legit, talking to us about whether to angle something this or that way. Not one freshly painted wall was knicked.
5-star Google reviewPatricia D.8 years ago
Yesterday was my move day. This could have been the day from Hell. But the three men Fred Tiger and Elvell made it so like butter. They worked from 11am to 10"30 pm straight. They all went above and beyond taking care of my belongs as if they where theirs. They even had to play ems when I fell twice due to not having my walking stick. I am not the lights person in the work to dead life off the ground or out of the box i fell in. They even came to the rescue of my tropical fish.
