1-star Google reviewAustin M.2 years ago
After waiting nearly 3 weeks after writing Caleb the owner a detailed email with no response. I decided to post my review and email that I sent him and never heard back from. The one positive was how the crew was very respectful during the entire move. "I appreciate you reaching out. I was about to leave a review and unfortunately I can't recommend your company. Overall I was very frustrated and disappointed in the entire move. Was very unprofessional and paid a premium price for subpar at best results.

Hi Austin, thanks so much for your feedback. Once again, we are very sorry you felt the service was unsatisfactory. However, your review makes it seem like the owner, Caleb never responded to you at all, which is not true.

Very good sales team. That’s about it. Their quote was considerably higher than the others, but they convinced me that their services were worth it. On moving day, things quickly went down hill. I wasn’t at the old place when they got everything loaded. The mover called to ask if they should wait for me to return, or head to the new spot, leaving the door unlocked. I advised to head to the new spot and I would go lock the door behind them. When I arrived, much to my surprise, the door was wide open.

We hired Move Indy to pack and load our moving trailer for a cross country move. It was a 3 bedroom house with a full garage. We expected a professional crew who would take care of our items and pack them with precision and thoughtful placement. On the day, the crew showed up and worked very fast. They were working in multiple rooms at once and then loading the trailer. It took them the whole day to get it all done. They were very nice young men and we thought they did a good job... in the moment.

Hi Tustin - I will not offer you any BS here. We obviously made mistakes and our communication was poor, at best. If you're willing to still discuss it and see if we can work out a solution, please call the office at your convenience and ask for Bryan ([phone removed]).

We originally chose this company due to the kindness and time they took to answer our questions over the phone. I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction and disgust with the services provided by your company during my recent move. What should have been a straightforward and professional process turned into an exploitative situation that left me feeling extremely taken advantage of.

AR - Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your son’s move with us on August 25th. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. After reviewing the details of the move, we wanted to provide some clarity.

I don’t normally leave reviews, but I feel this experience is worth sharing. I needed a quick, smooth move and chose Move Indy based on their great reviews. The movers themselves were very polite, so I want to give them credit for that. My issue is with the pricing. I was quoted $900–$1200 for 3–4 hours. My final bill, however, came to $1700 for 5.25 hours.

The manager mike came to our home to give us a quote to have a swing set along with some big items in our home moved down the road to our new house. We explained how we would break the swing set down into 3 pieces and he told us it would be no problem to move just that he would need a 3rd mover and the biggest truck. On the day of move without even an attempt at moving it he said it was unable to be moved and then was extremely unprofessional when we pressed him for a solution.

We are sorry to hear you were not satisfied with your move. After reviewing the information from your estimate in April and subsequent move in October, we see that we actually did move the play set.

1-star Google reviewJacque L.a year ago
If you have a small move, no valuables, are packing yourself, and don't need storage, these people seem to be ok for others. We were downsizing from a 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom, 2-story with a walkout into a 2400 sq.ft. house we built. To be fair, the crew that moved us into the new house after things had been in storage with Move Indy for 4 months did great. The crew who packed the dining room and kitchen in the old house did great.

1-star Google reviewLoganne V.2 years ago
move Indy damaged two pieces of my floor. I am a very understanding person and they told me it would be fixed. I waited two days and no one reached out to me. I texted move Indy and they told me they would have someone come out on Thursday. The man came out and told me one piece needed completely replaced. I asked him if we could replace all 3 pieces so it would match. He said that was fine. Two days went by and once again no one reached out to me. I texted move Indy and they told me they would come out on Monday.

Hello Loganne, We understand your frustration, and we do admit that our communication was not up to par here. Please accept our apologies. While we never want damages to happen, unfortunately sometimes they do. And when this happens, we do try to make it right.

5-star Google reviewMadison M.2 years ago
Cannot say enough good things about MoveIndy! Scheduling our move was a super easy process thanks to Doug and Caleb for accommodating us for a move from out of state. Jordan, Josh, Lovell, and Omar were incredibly professional, efficient, and communicative. They showed up on time to load up our things, and again to unload them next day. They carefully handled and packed/unpacked everything in a timely manner. What a great team of guys you have working for you. 12/10 service. Thanks guys!!

Found Move Indy by looking through others suggestions and was absolutely not disappointed! Process for getting estimates, scheduling, and the whole process was easy as can be. Every single person I spoke to was friendly and helpful. So nice to have moving and haul away at the same time. Plus I've got cleaning service lined up! Very reasonable pricing. The move itself went perfectly. A manager was onsite briefly to make sure there were no concerns or issues. Cole and Cameron were our movers.

I had a great experience with Move Indy! The workers were kind and respectful. We had a more challenging move (3rd floor apartment with no elevator) despite this, they were well organized, efficient and completed our move seamlessly. Every employee I interacted with was extremely kind and knowledgeable. I really appreciated that they do background checks and drug tests their employees I felt more assured with my choice knowing that. Their communication is excellent! -I knew what was going on and when.

EDIT: updating my review because now we’ve used Move Indy twice! We had three guys (Omar, Dustin, and Ethan) come to load up our two PODS. Super happy with the care they took with our furniture- everything was wrapped extremely well. They were also able to save us $$$ by packing the PODS so that we didn’t have to use a 3rd one. No complaints! Thanks Move Indy!! These guys were pros!!! Will, Jordan, Dewayne, and Ealey showed up with smiles on their faces and got to work!

Thank you, Meghan - it's always a pleasure working with you!!!
