In their own words
Second worst moving experience I have had. Only beaten by movers that stole a bunch of things from me durring the move. Movher's guys were 2 hours late to start with and only one of the two people that I was paying for did any work without being given instruction. The quality of loading skills is seriously lacking any kind of care or common sense. A number of my things were either damaged or destroyed by the way they were loaded and "secured".
I was so sorry to hear that my explanation as to your so-called terrible moving experience was not to your satisfaction back in July 2019. We do try very hard to give all our customers a great experience when it's in our control.
Our issue was with a change of costs at the end of the job. My wife emailed the owner the day after our move to discuss the issue, and after no response after 5 days, I did the same. We have still had no response after 2 weeks. Our experience: we were able to schedule with Movher to unload a moving trailer of household items and were quoted that travel time would be charged for the trip, starting from the office to our location and back. We were quoted 15 minutes each way.
Nick, I'm sorry to read this review. I have gone through my email accounts and have no record of receiving any emails from your wife or from you. I wish you had called the office to discuss with your estimator or with me.
I contacted MoveHER for a quote after filling out their online form. When they called me, they asked detailed questions about my move — how many boxes, their sizes, and the stairs at both my current and new apartments. I explained that I have about 25 boxes (largest being just a typical large box), one flight of stairs at my current place, and three flights at my new place.
Hi Mark, I’m really sorry to hear about your recent experience. We aim to provide clear and helpful service, so it's troubling to hear that you're left feeling this way. It's important to us that our clients feel supported, and I assure you that your feedback will be addressed with our team to…
Summer of 2021 my company along with an attorney for the trust account for my client hired this company for cleaning of the home, moving and storage. My client ended up paying over $10k for all these services which is way way over priced. The staff decided to steal my clients mother cat and her kittens along with all the cat supplies such as a large tote full of cat food, cat toys and litter.
Lisa, we are shocked to see this review so we'd like to provide people with the complete picture as to the true situation. This was a pack, move, clean and storage job. We stored your client's goods for 45 days in our warehouse.
I chose this company because they're independent and local to Spokane—I like supporting small, local businesses. Unfortunately, this move was mismanaged from start to finish. I told them in advance about a heavy item (800+ lbs) that needed to go into the basement at the new place. Despite that, they sent a crew of only three average-sized guys with none of the equipment you'd need for something that heavy. It should have been at least a four-person crew with proper gear.
To say that we were disappointed by MOVHER would be an understatement. The crew of 4 arrived appearing to be exhausted. Within the first few hours one person stood on the loading dock of the truck for 20-30 minutes while nothing was being loaded. Another, stood chatting while a crew member took an hour to wrap our dining table and 6 chairs. Which disappointingly has the bolts missing because they were not wrapped up properly with the table. While a third spent 30-40min in the restroom.
Hello Katrina, I'm truly sorry to hear about the experience you had with our team. It sounds like we fell short on several fronts, from our crew's preparedness and time management to issues with packing and moving your items properly.
I had a very unpleasant experience with Movher for a local moving. The company was recommended to me by someone I met. The moving process went relatively smooth except the office desk was damaged and a couple of scratches on the wall and ceiling. I was not happy with one of the movers' comments regarding the scratch of the ceiling. He said that the furniture was too big that he could not do anything about it. Further, the company charged the moving $490 more than the initial estimated cost.
Hi Yali, I'm so sorry to hear that your experience with us was not what you hoped and definitely not what we want to hear from our customers. With nearly 15 years in business here in Spokane, we pride ourselves in serving each and every one of customers the best we can, from the minute they contact…
At their price, I should receive great service. Instead, I received ok service and was charged too much time. They were on time, that was good. They were also polite. However, they were a bit slow and used masking tape on oak bookshelves rather than wrapping first. That soaks the oil right out. I have to oil the shelves before putting the books back up. They had a dolly, but they never took it out of the truck. They carried my file cabinet out horizontal. File cabinets are full of papers in folders.
Hi David, this is Sabrina, the owner of Movher. I was actually the one who came out on Saturday to jump that truck so your crew could finish your job. I was glad they were parked in a good spot as to not block anyone in.

In their own words
Closing out a parents home across the state is a difficult task. I had been struggling, but as soon as I contacted Movher; Gretyl and Cyndi took care of me. Even got me in contact with a local charity, to donate my mom’s sewing/crafting supplies. Also additional contact information for household donations. Thank you! Now let us talk about the movers themselves. Amazing!!!!! Dillon, Colette, and Miles were Prompt, Friendly, Courteous, and very Proficient in all aspects of the moving process. The move was so easy!
Thank you, Dave and Amy! I'm glad to hear that Gretyl and Cyndi were able to help with arranging donations and that our movers Dillon, Colette, and Miles made the process smooth and efficient for you.
I've used Movher for several moves over the years - large moves, small moves, helping family members move, and even simply moving furniture within our home. Every experience has been outstanding. Their team is prompt, professional, friendly, and incredibly efficient. They consistently arrive on time, work hard, stay positive throughout the day, and somehow manage to get the job done much faster than I expect while still being careful with our belongings.
Kristin, thank you so much for sticking with Movher through so many moves and for taking the time to share this. I’m really glad our crew’s punctual, friendly, efficient work—and the extra planning up front with photos, disassembly questions, and the labeling system—has made your moves smoother and…
They arrived on time and incredibly kind and professional throughout the move. They protected both our apartment floors and doors while they quickly and efficiently carried out our furniture and boxes. We had 3 flights of stairs they had to traverse, so this was a MASSIVE help. The load-in of the truck was smooth—the load-out was even easier. We had tried to color-code the boxes so improve the efficiency of the organization. I made sure to be accessible for any variability/unmarked items.
Thank you so much, Megan, for your kind words! I'm so glad to hear that our team's professionalism and care made your move smooth and worry-free. Navigating those 3 flights of stairs and seeing that everything was handled with such care in your new home is exactly what we aim for.
Absolutely superb. We professionally moved 6 times in our life. Some bad experiences. Some good. However nothing compares to the superb service we had with Movhers. I cannot speak highly enough of the professionalism, the quality, the team, and the care taken with our move. Our agreement called for a two day engagement for a 4500 sq ft home. First, they sent out a crew to prep and stage our household. I didn't expect much.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Michael. We're thrilled to hear that your experience with Movhers exceeded your expectations and that our team's professionalism and attention to detail made a positive impact on your move.
