In their own words
The flat rate is a lie, not everything was moved. Half the furniture was broken and missing the bolts. It was an absolutely horrible experience. Not professional at all! If I could give 0 stars I would.
Dustin, we are sorry to see that you were not completely satisfied with your experience. Someone from our office will contact you to address these issues. Thanks
Worst moving experience ever.. 20 mins in they already scratched my bed set and broke my dresser. It took over a hour for 3 men to move a standard best set into their truck. All while one of them was complaining the whole time. We told them to go head and stop there and bring what they have to the new house. Boss guy shows up trying to make it better, I'll give him that, he did somewhat. They did move my dresser to the bedroom(upstairs).
When a customer has pre-existing damages; moving provisions both state law and federal mandates that a Consumer point those problems out prior to the move you failed to do that and even though you failed to do that, we still went ahead and resolved the issues..
I used Moving On a Budget July 5. This is my third time using them, and I have always had a positive experience in years prior. All my items were packaged, but when I started unpacking at my new apartment, I noticed I was missing items. I called Moving On a Budget to see if the movers had mistakenly left my items on the truck. I spoke to Tajuania Boone, hoping to resolve this problem. Ms. Boone claimed that my items had been delivered and were not in her possession.
My experience was horrible from the moment the movers drove to my driveway. The movers did not use any cushions for the doors and did not plastic wrap any of the furniture before moving it to the truck and taking it out of the truck. I never thought I would have to micromanage adult men on doing their job correctly. They lost several screws to my furniture that they disassembled. The truck left oil spill in my newly built home's driveway.
I hired this company to move me the first week of April, 2022. All of my furniture now has scratches, dings or deep wounds. I sent them pictures of damages on my bedroom suit. The lady said she would get back with me and I never heard back. She said they were Bonded, before I hired them. They were very late getting to my home. They had nice trucks, but no blankets. Workers were kind, but not trained. I have now a bedroom suit that has major visual damage. I can’t fix the damage. It is ruined.
Hey Mrs.Whorton we here at Moving on a Budget we’re notified of your damage items but we wasn’t sure if they were the same items that we pointed out prior to us handling them that had scratches on them.So we we’re waiting on you to send the pictures as we discussed to make sure they wasn’t to same…
I hired this company to move some of my furnature. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND this COMPANY to anyone. They will mess ur furnature up and have no care in the world to fix it. I can show pics of how they didn’t take care of my furnature and when u talk to them they act like it’s not their fault and we can’t prove anything. If you care about your furnishings RUN from this company

In their own words
Great experience with this company! Everyone was very professional and helpful. They were responsive with my phone calls, the moving crew showed up right on time and moved my furniture quickly and carefully. Would definitely recommend!
Thank you!
After some extreme issues with a local U-Haul dealer and being unable to get a U-Haul Kamon was thankfully able to be flexible and get us scheduled for a full move with very little notice to Texas. We had several different movers helping us throughout the move (JB, Jimmy, Trey, and Ishmael) and they all did a wonderful job. The power was out and it was dark when we arrived to our location in Texas and these guys still got it done in good time. If you need any moving services I highly recommend them!
I am very excited to write a "OUTSTANDING" review about this company! I had a very large move coming up and contacted this company for an estimate. My first introduction was with the super kind and helpful young lady who answered the phone and quoted me my price. It is very hard now days to get Customer Service with a pleasant tone and that is in person or over the phone. However she answered every question I had as well as allowed me time to think if I had any other questions that needed to be addressed.
Thank you!
Marilyn Rains Boggs: JB and Chris moved us on February 6, 2024. The company as a whole (represented by Kamon Boone) was professional and extremely courteous in setting up the move, setting the pricing and time of the move. We were sent reminders of the date and time, which I appreciated. JB and Chris arrived promptly at the scheduled time and started work immediately after meeting us in a professional manner. They both were extremely likeable and easy to work with.
