Move It Now Canton completely ruined our move. They were scheduled to move us on Labor Day weekend, and we set the expectation with Greg, that we had a storage unit that we were emptying and moving its contents to our new residence. Greg confirmed this with us, and said it would be no problem. When the crew arrived (an hour late), they had somehow come to the misunderstanding, that we moving from a 2 bedroom apartment and dividing half of our stuff between the storage unit and our 6 bedroom house.

We truly apologize that this situation arose. We would rather not publicly state all the reasons for declining the job, we would gladly talk to you over the phone in detail. There are specific sanitary reasons we have to refuse a particular job.

I have had a horrible time with move it now. They moved me on February 14th of this year after my father died on February 1st. During the move they lost several of my items. I didn't notice until I was putting things away after the funeral and things had calmed down. I have an antique doll bed that belongs to my daughter's great grandmother. The 2 bed rails were missing, rendering the bed worthless. After repeated calls for them to locate the missing items, I received no return calls.

Cheryl, I understand your frustration as this has been a long process. This is a unique situation and is just taking time. It is being handled as we discussed. We have the pieces to the doll bed in our possession and will being returning ASAP.

CAUTION!! They moved us on June 2, 2021 from North Canton to Lakewood. They arrived a little after 9am. My husband stayed behind with them. I do not know where to start. We had a two bedroom apartment and a garage full of stuff. Everything was taken down, wrapped and ready to go. They moved at a snails pace, taking one box at a time to the truck. After a few hours, my husband started smelling marijuana and they started to move even slower. My husband had to fill all of our wardrobe boxes himself.

We are sorry this was the outcome. Feel free to call us and discuss. [phone removed].

What a terrible experience! We talked with Gary, the owner, to let him know that his movers (the first time we used them) were on their phones a lot. He guaranteed us that this would not happen this time. Instead, the movers were high and lighting up by their truck. He said "That is not how we do things." We told him we watched them smoke and could smell it. The movers loaded the truck as we moved out of state. When we unpacked the truck, there were two TVs broken, furniture scratched, and other items broken.

The guys from Move It Now were efficient and worked hard to get the job done. However, the information that I received along with my quote does not match the actions of your employees. The quote CLEARLY states that clothing may be left in dressers. The majority of my clothing was taken out of the drawers and thrown onto the floor without my knowledge! I would have appreciated being notified that this was an integral step in getting the job done.
Reply from the business

I am so very sorry this happened. I will most certainly use this information to train, and continually improve our services. You are correct that clothing can remain in drawers as long as the drawers will close properly. Sorry for the delay in response also. Please accept my sincere apology!

STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS - they moved a book collection for me yesterday and brought a truck that had a history of a leaking roof. The drivers knew it, the company new it, they also knew exactly what they were moving and said nothing. The damage was over $75,000. The owner Gary doesn't call you back when his drivers tell you he will. He doesn't respond to emails. Just ignores you when you have an issue. Painful lesson learned.

We are extremely sorry this situation occurred. We made contact with our insurance company first thing the following morning. They will be in contact to resolve the situation.

Some friends of mine used these movers and there future was damaged by the time it got to there place. And the insurance you can get with it not any good. I see all the reviews are good on here but just becarful if you use them you won't get your money back if your stuff is damaged.

State to State Move Due to fall through of a previous moving company (what I believed to be scammers) , I was left with only two days to find movers for a state to state move OH to IL. Move-it-Now (Garry) asked for an itemized list to confirm they could perform the work but ensured they would follow up in either case first thing in the morning due to my short deadline. As soon as they opened Garry had called to inform me they could perform the work, which was a huge relief; complete transparency and timely.

Price: Move it now pricing is competitive. For the items we had moved, I felt the cost was fair. Timeliness: Zinnon and Preston were right on time. Thee came into the house and quickly surveyed the work to be done. They were done with the entire move in a reasonable amount of time, less than the quoted time. Efficiency: They moved everything quickly and efficiently. Most importantly, none of my furniture was damaged.

I am the office manager for The Maintenance Company Inc., and Move It Now moved our 30 person business this past weekend. One of the owners of the company was the one who first contacted Move It Now to get a quote and was pleased from his initial experience with this company. He said they were easy to talk to and he felt comfortable with them moving his company. The moving crew arrived on time and although it was cold and raining they did not let that slow them down.
