1-star Google reviewKarriemah M.9 months ago
First , final price was a lot higher than quote. Owner had to be reminded of the referral discount and deposit that was already paid. Owner was very rude when I asked for clarification of the charges. Movers were amateurs at best. They took 9 hrs for a 6 hr job. They did not put together my sectional in which i paid for all larger items to be reassembled at the new destination. Tried to run out without proper bed assembly. Broke a lamp and put it in the corner so I would not noticed.

We respectfully disagree with several statements in this review. The estimate for your move was based on the inventory provided before the move date. When our crew arrived, it became clear that the amount of furniture and belongings to be moved was significantly greater than what had been quoted.

1-star Google reviewSelina M.7 months ago
Hello, I am extremely disappointed with the service I received during my move. Your crew arrived late, worked very slowly, and behaved unprofessionally while charging a very high hourly rate. My fireplace was completely broken during the move. It was in good condition before your team handled it and is now damaged beyond use. This is unacceptable. I would never use your company again based on this experience. I expect a prompt response. Selina

Hi Selina, Thank you for choosing Movin-N-Groovin for your recent move. We strive to provide our customers with an exceptional moving experience, and it appears that we fell short of your expectations this time.

I chose this company primarily because it is Black owned, so I looked pass the cost being higher than others. I was mostly disappointed that items went missing. After after sending an email to express my discontent with missing items m, I never received a response. Hopefully you can better better your employees but I would not recommend the services of this company for your reason.

Attitude Trash, after he did his walk through my home he told me it would be a xtra $1,100 to move everything in my home. My home was packed rapped and ready for him and his 2 movers to pack the truck. It was his 2 movers that did the moving while he stood and looked inside the truck. I paid just to have the heavy items moved. Once the truck was packed he told me he was going to make a stop to pick up another worker WITH MY $?!£ in the truck 😡😒. Weird but ohk.

Scheduled 3 hours for a move about .5 mile in distance. I was told the night before that we would need to reschedule due to a personal emergency on their end. I was frustrated but agreed. Next day i received a text 15 mins before their scheduled time from Uhaul letting me know they had rescheduled again. Apparently they had called that morning and for some reason it never come through on my end and said this was the reason for the reschedule.

We appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention. Regrettably, another company has exploited our esteemed reputation by misrepresenting themselves as Movin-N-Groovin Moving Company. We have contacted U-Haul to inform them of this.

1-star Google reviewAdea M.2 months ago
This company is some BS. Not only did they change the rate in the middle of the move, but the movers were constantly standing around on their phones slowing the entire process down. I have multiple videos of the same mover stopping work to talk on his phone while I was being charged for their time. To make matters worse, they broke my dresser and offered me only $75 in compensation. My dresser costs way more than that and $75 isn’t going to replace it.
Reply from the business

Hi Adea, We are disappointed to read this review because it contains a significant misunderstanding about how your move was priced. Your move was booked at our standard rate of $150 per hour, and that rate never changed at any point during the move.

I would not recommend Movin-N-Groovin Moving Company for personal or contractor businesses/realtors. This company was over 2hrs late for my scheduled move, damaged and broke brand new items, came unprepared to move furniture, and the management was egregiously unprofessional and disrespectful even after being understanding and hospitable. If I could give this company less than one star I would.

THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEW MS. BROWN. WE APOLOGIZE FOR BEING LATE. HOWEVER WE CAN'T ACCOUNT FOR THE WEATHER. IT WAS A TERRIBLE THUNDERSTORM THAT DAY. IN FACT WE TRIED TO RESCHEDULE BECAUSE OF IT. BUT YOU HAD TO BE OUT THAT DAY AND ASSURED US IT WAS OK TO ARRIVE LATE.

My family previously used this company many years ago with no issues. Based on that experience, I decided to use their services. Unfortunately, I deeply regret that decision. I scheduled a moving appointment and was provided with three date and time options. I selected Friday at 10:00 AM. When I called at 12:30 PM because no movers had arrived and I had not received any communication, I was informed that the company operates within a two-hour arrival window.

Thank you for the review and most certainly thank you for another chance to earn your families business. When you 1st inquired about moving services , Friday morning may have been an option. However we work on a 1st come 1st served basis.

"I recently hired Movin and Groovin for my move, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, they were incredibly reliable and professional. The team arrived right on time and worked efficiently to get everything packed and loaded quickly. They handled my belongings with care, and nothing was damaged in the move. Not only were they quick and efficient, but their pricing was also very fair compared to other quotes I received.
4-star Google reviewJeffrey C.a year ago
Overall, had a very good experience with Movin-N-Groovin. Mike was responsive from the get go when we were looking for quotes and our questions. Gave us a discount for being recommended by our community manager. His Team Leader Mark was on top of everything the day of our move. We wrapped some items ourselves but couldn’t finish the rest. Mark ended up finishing what we couldn’t for a nominal upcharge. He also dismantled a complicated platform bed and put it back together in our new place.
5-star Google reviewCandice2 years ago
Look no further than Movin' and Groovin' movers as they were absolutely incredible in so many ways. Please read for the detailed circumstances. Moving can be so stressful but Mike (owner) and Mark (managed the move) treated us like family. I informed the guys that this move truly needed special care. My father has dementia and we needed a partnership in the way we moved his belongings to the new home.

Tez and Derrick are incredible. No nonsense, hard working, sweating movers that got the job done. I had an issue with my invoice which caused bad customer service and having to pay an amount on my move day that I wasn’t invoiced for but human error is unavoidable. I was told I would get a call back on the error but I did not. That’s issues with the back end though. Tez and Derrick were flawless in their professionalism and execution of my move. They provided valuable suggestions on protecting my items.

I’m sorry that happen. That problem as been resolved. Thank you for your business.
