Hello Karen, This is horrible to hear but we checked our client's list and we don’t have any information about your reservation. I did notice you said Monster Movers WE ARE MONSTER MOVING, Monster Moving is no part of Monster Movers the company you hired for your move.

I scheduled these movers weeks in advance. And they did not show up. Once I finally got them to answer the phone they had the wrong date booked. They said they would try to find movers for the correct date but never called me back. They also stopped answering the phone when I tried to call to resolve this issue.

If you want someone hired from Craig's List at your door the next day saying he was never paid for moving you, than use this company. Worst experience of my moving life. They do not stand by what they say with their hassle free, no surprise charges! I was double and triple charged for movers that took way too much time, injured themselves, damaged my walls and overcharged me for their unprofessionalism, to later have one of the movers at my front door saying he was never paid and ghosted!
1-star Google reviewEric T.a year ago
Terrible company. The final charge was almost double the initial quote. While the actual movers were good, I can't recommend a company that tries to bait and switch their customers on pricing. Was led to believe that the price would be about $450 and ended up getting charged $735 for a 3 hr move with 2 guys.
1-star Google reviewTiffani K.2 weeks ago
We are still in the midst of attempting to find my parents furniture. In March, the HB team moved items from my mother’s house into storage to wait for a Texas delivery. They estimated 2-3 weeks which continued to get pushed more and more because “no trucks are going to Texas.” I’ve made this move twice and can attest it has never been an issue getting items to Dallas. It has now been FIVE months with little to no communication. We even asked for information on where items were being stored with no real answers.
1-star Google reviewKari E.3 years ago
The set-up seemed too good to be true, and it was. I paid to have my items picked up, put into a moving pod, stored, and then relocated to my new home when I returned to California after I went back to Michigan to care for my mother who passed away. My items got picked up in a rush as the staff stated they had tried to call and I didn't answer, which was untrue.
1-star Google reviewRonnie C.3 months ago
Worst moving experience of my entire life and I have moved plenty. Some details from our experience: - We booked a 4 man move but only 3 showed up, more than an hour late. - They had no tools so I had to lend them my own tools to take things apart or I had to take it apart myself. - A move that should have taken only 1 day took 2 full days because they were so disorganized. This ended up costing us an additional $1400 for a second day. - The first day the movers didn’t bring any drinks for themselves.

Hi Ronnie, We're sorry to hear that you feel this way. We take customer feedback seriously, but this review contains several claims that do not accurately reflect what occurred during your move. Monster Moving goal is always to provide professional, careful, and transparent service.

I had used Monster Movers in the past and had a good experience, which is what made this time that much worse. I was confident and trusted them, and in the end was screwed over. I had scheduled an afternoon move and received through email simply "yes, confirmed." My move day came and 11am rolled around with no word. At 11:30 I called to request an estimated arrival time, understanding that the time could vary widely, but knew they are required to give you an update.

5-star Google reviewAriana M.2 months ago
We recently used Monster Moving & Storage for a local move that took two full days, Monster Packed the entire 5ooosf home and moved it, we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the initial communication to the final box being placed, the entire team was professional, hardworking, and incredibly efficient. Moving an entire household over two days is no small task, but the crew handled everything with care and attention to detail.

Monster Movers were so great! We moved our 1 bedroom apartment from Hacienda Heights to Costa Mesa and SO glad we hired professional movers. We have moved our furniture 3 times by ourselves and it's always been a struggle, but Hope and Febo from Monster Movers helped us take the stress away with this move! They called the morning of to give us an update on their arrival. They were punctual and ready to get straight to work. They didn't waste any time and were so hard working during the whole move.
5-star Google reviewYolanda H.10 months ago
If you want movers who are not only professional and efficient but also genuinely kind and thoughtful, you must hire Monster Moving Company. From the start, Andrea was great and very responsive over the phone, helping us coordinate our move date, which we had to reschedule a couple of times. She was so flexible and made it all happen smoothly.
