In their own words
Booked with Next Stop Movers . All seemed fine until the movers showed up to pick up and wrap several items. When the booking took place I was told no additional costs would occur. One the day the packers arrived I had to pay $200 more . They told me I had not paid enough to have things packed . A company called West coast movers out of Las Vegas did the packing . They didn’t speak very good English. Next Srop Movers wouldn’t return my calls so I could talk with them about the extra expense.
Hi, we are constantly confused with another company with the same name. You mentioned "West Coast," and this is Next Stop Movers based in Raleigh, NC(independent company). We never couple with other companies, and perform full service packing moving and storage all in-house, from start to finish.
I'm writing this to warn customers of this company and their terrible claims process. Recently, a Next Stop Movers truck severely trenched and damaged my front yard while maneuvering their truck for a move at my neighbor's house, causing damage that requires professional landscaping repair. The company's handling of the resulting claim has been appalling.
Hi, Jeff. It was not our intention to roll onto the yard, as accidents do happen in our line of work - we fully take responsibility and always commit to fully resolving this matter. We recognize that our standard requirement for multiple estimates has created a burden and inconvenience for you…
Worst experience ever. Will never use them again. Damaged items, extra fees and put my stuff in storage because they didn’t have a truck full. Horrible experience. Had to leave a day later to wait for the truck which was sublet to another company. There was only one person to unload the truck. I had to make numerous calls to find out the status oft the delivery. No manifest of items to check and had to call to get it. All driver could say was that they were a subcontractor and could not help me.
We are not the company you are reviewing for. This is Next Stop Movers in Raleigh, North Carolina, an independent company, 1 location. We Never contract/sublet out (we are not a broker, we are a local moving company with in-house trained, payrolled employees), and would never send 1 mover to…
Be warned these people quote you one price and then hold you hostage doubling their costs. Your left having to sign out of desperation at the last minute.
Hi Lyn, looks like you have us mixed up with another company. We are here in Raleigh, North Carolina. Please double check the company, as you are not our customer. We don't take hostage of any articles because we don't even take payment until job completion!
1 star — Great movers, sketchy business practices I would definitely not recommend Next Stop Movers (North Carolina Moving & Storage) in Raleigh, NC. The actual movers were hardworking, careful, and polite—nothing was damaged and they protected the house well—but the sales/management side felt misleading and opportunistic. After I got under contract on a new home (only about 8 miles away) in Fuquay Varina, their salesperson came out, did a thorough walk-through, and itemized everything.
Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. We sincerely appreciate your kind words regarding our moving crew’s hard work. We will be sure to pass that praise along to them.
If you value your furniture and your hard earned money that it took to get it and want a company that stands by their word, we suggest you look elsewhere. Extreme lack of accountability… We were provided weight estimate and told we could update inventory as needed. From the very first phone call we stated we wanted 4 movers and we were assured we would have that. The morning of the move we got a call saying 3 guys, when we expressed that wasn’t the agreement. So they sent a 4 th guy and he stayed 45 minutes.
We are sorry your experience wasn't a positive one with us. Unfortunately the adjustment you made to the inventory a couple days before the move did change everything, but we honored the price reduction.
I received a call from Hale who said that he was a supervisor. He was very misleading and tried to do a bate and switch on me to go with this firm, I found this to be not ethical, deceiving, and put your company in a bad light. To be honest he talked “bad” about the company I had chosen by saying “I don’t talk bad about my competitor but …”.
Gary, we provided an estimate for you that we could match and/or beat our competitors if they provided a Binding Agreement. Once we looked over the estimate, it was in fact a Non-Binding Agreement from the other company.
I have moved many times without an incident until I moved with Next Stop Movers. The damages to my furniture proved their complete disregard for caring about my belongings. Nicks, scraps and deep gouges were common including one dining chair that was beyond repair and was put in the trash. Local realtors recommend this company and I cannot understand why since this reflects negatively on their business as well. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND bypassing Next Stop Movers NO MATTER how attractive their estimate may be.

In their own words
Next Stop Movers Raleigh did an AMAZING job. My experience was perfect from start to finish. Elyssa provided exceptional customer service while completing my estimate. She kept me informed and answered all of my questions. (even after hours and weekends). The moving crew (Nasir, Jeremy & Juan) were super professional and knowledge. Not only were they prompt, they even arrived early. All of my items were disassembled and reassembled with no issues at all. They wrapped all my furniture, even my mattress.
So happy you had a great experience with us. Thank you for your feedback and business!
🚚✨ Shoutout to Local Movers Who Truly Deliver! ✨🚚 Now that all my belongings have been delivered, I just have to say—local moving companies are criminally underrated. 🙌 I went with a small, locally owned team instead of one of the big national brands, and the difference was night and day. Hale walked me through what to expect and the difference between a small company vs the large ones. He made me believe in him. And he was right. ✅ Communication? Personal, fast, and clear.
Amazing feedback and review, Kelly! We loved working with you from start to finish, and extremely grateful that you chose us for your long distance moving services needs. We hope you enjoy the sun at the coast! Give us a call anytime.
I got several bids for my move. One company gave me a quote without an on-site visit?!? Next Stop Movers quote was within budget and was binding. Elyssa was helpful and adjusted the quote as necessary. We had to change the moving address and add a flight of stairs. Fortunately, neither change caused a price increase, but it was reassuring to know that upfront. Day of the move, Chad and Darione texted and called to let me know they were on their way. They were timely and loaded the truck quickly in the rain.
Thank you very much for spending the time to write a detailed review. So grateful you had a great move, we are happy to read this!
I highly recommend you contact and hire next stop movers for your moving needs! We used them for a cross state move from Raleigh to Maryland this year for packing and moving of a full 4 bedroom house. Surge, Josh and Hale were all particularly helpful and instrumental in a successful and smooth move. I contacted many companies to receive quotes, NSM came out very quickly and walked through the entire house to guarantee my rate.
Thank you so much for your detailed and amazing review. We are so happy you had a positive transition to your new home through our long distance moving services Raleigh. You were awesome to work with, and our ideal client. Thanks for being so patient and kind to us, we greatly appreciate you!
