In their own words
We used MVM in the past on two different occasions where we very pleased with the high quality of service . But due to our most recent experience, we are very unlikely to use them again. The two movers assigned were not very eager to work. When they saw the amount of boxes and furniture in storage to move they said this is going to cost you a lot of money. Mind you it was MVM that loaded the storage six months ago! Indeed they were correct. It turned out to be $1,0000 over the estimated amount.
We booked with Reliable Movers and they never showed up. When we called to find out where they were we were told that our reservation was in a "pending" status. Then the blame game started. The lady on the phone started blaming the lady that did the quote, who was conveniently unavailable to talk. Although the lady that we were talking to was the one that booked the reservation and told us that we were "good to go." Basically, their solution was that they could get us a truck and movers the next day.
I am sorry you had this problem. The company is under new management so I am sure the experience will be much better if you give us another chance!
Not happy. So two of the movers came in started moving my furniture and one of the guys said that there were roaches. Due to the roaches they cannot move my furniture. Saying that they cannot bring the roaches onto their truck and transfer the roaches to somebody else's apartment or house. I offered them $700 to move the furniture anyways because they were talking about having to kill the bugs and how much money that would cost. Long story short I find out later that the truck that they're driving is a RENTAL.

Horrible experience. After around 10 professional moves throughout my life and career, this was by far the worst experience. I will be brief unless of course they attempt to discredit the facts. Let me first say, the guys doing the packing, loading, and unloading were fantastic – great guys – this is a management issue. We moved out of our house in Clearwater, FL in June of 2025 and stored most of our belongings with Reliable (now MVM) for 10 months (around $800/month).
Scott, we’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you sharing your feedback. We want to acknowledge that your missing items were located and ultimately delivered, though we understand the delay was frustrating.
We were scheduled to move at 7am, and because of the location of our new house and low lying tree branches they were going to rent a Uhaul. The day before the move I called and confirmed with Laura, everything was set to go. Day of move the movers didn't show up until 8:15am, with NO UHAUL, and greeted us with cigarettes in their mouths smoking in our garage. The entire time the three men argued with each other and were all around very unprofessional. I was quoted by Laura for a 6-6.5 hr move.

I used them on 7/31 to load up some furniture from a storage unit into a moving truck. I drove it to another unit and while another crew was unloading the truck the following day, we noticed some damage to some pieces. I called them them on 8/2 and spoke with someone that told me about their repair service. As requested, I sent emails with pictures of damage and now I cannot get them answer or return any of my calls anymore.
I am sorry you had this problem with the prior management. I can assure you the current management team would be responsive and help you to resolve your situation.
Called to see if I could move scheduled time up an hour, then called day of and was hour past original scheduled time, then literally yelled at me because they were late for next job. He also said they had a terrible job the day before and a guy quit on him. Totally unprofessional. And yes it was them, booked through u haul and it was Erik with a k as mentioned on other reviews. So yes, l do have the right company, not only that but Google sent this to me to review since I had used them.
Hello, this was not our company that moved you. We do not book with U-Haul. You are not in our system and we do not have an Erik with a K in the office. We’re all females in the office, therefore there could not have been a man who was conducting scheduling or answering the phones.
Horrible movers DO NOT HIRE THEM! They break furniture that survived NY to FL. They cla to “wrap” your furniture on the truck but if you check they only throw moving blankets on top of furniture hence it gets broken. Owner VERY RUDE and did not care. Paid $1000 to move 7 miles and get tv smashed and 2 tables broken and other furniture chipped and scraped. Worst moving company EVER!!!!!
Kathy, I am sorry for your experience with Reliable Moving and Storage. As we discussed at the time of your move in January, we are not held liable for TV’s that we did not pack.

In their own words
I was in a serious last-minute bind and this moving company absolutely came through. They were responsive, professional, and showed up ready to work with almost no notice. The crew was efficient, careful with my belongings, and kept a calm, positive attitude the entire time—no rushing, no complaining, no drama. What could have been a total disaster turned into a smooth move because of them. Fair pricing, great communication, and solid work ethic.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Our team works hard to make every move smooth and stress-free, and it means a lot to know we delivered for you. If you ever need help again in the future, we’d be honored to work with you!
Reliable is the perfect name! ~ Unless they wanted to change their name to Extremely Reliable & Professional! I just can't say enough positive about this company and its employees! Hands down the best moving company I've ever dealt with and in my business I've dealt with several over the years. In the past 8 years I've used Reliable for several office moves. My first experience with them was so perfect, I thought it had to be sheer luck.... until I used them again and again and again....
Patty, Thank you for the kind words and the opportunity to serve your moving needs. We take pride in what we do and hope it shows. So it is always great when clients like yourself give feedback. We look forward to working with you again and again for many more years.
Okay ya'll here goes....Reliable Moving and Storage Company was Totally AWESOME! The office staff from start to finish was the best customer service I have ever experienced hands down. I had what I would consider a boat load of problems with my sale and purchase and let's just say it definitely was not easy. But look no further than this company if you plan on moving because there is none better. Dawn and the ladies at the office were uplifting, supportive and understanding when we had to make changes.
Jennifer, I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to leave such a detailed and heartfelt 5 Star review for Reliable Moving and Storage! This means a lot to us when we see the results of our labor appreciated.
Eric & Tay from MVM moving were incredible! They are the reason I am giving this rating 4 stars. I would use them again anytime. They worked efficiently, handled our belongings with great care and wrapped everything. They were very professional and friendly as well! However the quoting process experience at MVM was not great, the move was originally quoted at around $500 with no travel fees, but the final total was $1,000.
Carol, thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear Eric and Tay delivered a great experience and took excellent care of your belongings—we’ll be sure to pass that along to them. We also understand your concerns regarding the estimate and final cost.
