1-star Google reviewDeborah M.Edited 3 years ago
Don’t let their seemingly caring attitude fool you. We had a lot of things we loved broken, some beyond repair, and several items went missing. Expensive lesson - never again! So Disappointed that the trust we put in this company was so misplaced! Beware of what their contract actually says! Second Update - per the owners’s request - we called. We were told to make a claim. So we did with photos and details and costs, as requested.

Deborah, this is not the norm. Can you please call the office to discuss?

1-star Google reviewG H.4 years ago
Very negative experience. I was promised a call back from one employee that took my message then she didn’t deliver it. So when I called the second time an employee named Marissa answered, she was very short and rude, and denied that I had …

1-star Google reviewLaken V.Edited a month ago
Terrible! Broke so many items and refuse to discuss it despite multiple messages. Do not use them. They moved me from Franklin TN to a storage unit. They stacked boxes marked FRAGILE beneath heavy items and multiple boxes were crushed. It was clear they didn't care at all and perhaps even willfully destructive due to the lack of common sense shown. They refuse to speak to me and offer any sort of compensation. Update: It is well over a year later since my move and they just now replied.

1-star Google reviewSametta G.3 years ago
Worst moving experience ever. We used this company to pack and move our items into our rented storage units and then to move our items into our new home several months later based on how they told us they care for our belongings. We had numerous damaged and destroyed pieces of furniture, glassware, picture frames, and collectibles. We had a solid oak desk where every leg was broken and the frame of it destroyed beyond repair. Their insurance coverage is a hoax.

Sametta, I’m truly sorry for what you went through—damaged furniture and personal items, especially on a two-stage move into storage and then your new home, is unacceptable. We also understand how frustrating it is to feel let down by our … More

The owner did a great job of selling me on his services, that turned out to be a snow job. His crew made a mess of the boxes I prepared for shipment as there were several that arrived falling apart and/or smashed from improper storage during transport. When I filed a claim for missing art I was paid for the item by the pound - a ridiculous notion, but I did not opt for the additional coverage due to the snow job the owner gave me.

DO NOT RECOMMEND! Every box labeled Fragile treated terrible, stacked and smashed, loads of broken glasses which I cut myself on unwrapoing from all the bubble wrap I did thinking for sure this would be fine so long as not tossed like garbage, broken vases, heirloom pieces, a statue replica from a movie gifted to me. Will be seeking a refund for the move and compensation for my items and the distress of lost of priceless items.

Terrible company. They have lost their good people. I called three times just trying to get a quote only to be told they won’t provide me a quote because I was using U-Pack trailer.. which is a nationwide company that has been around for decades. Never called to explain that to me… I had to call them. Just very weak customer service. I wouldn’t trust them with my move if they offered to do it for free. Beware!

Cole and Ethan from On the Move were fantastic! They helped move my heavy vanity upstairs safely and carefully. They were professional, responsible, and very friendly. The whole process was smooth, and I really appreciated their hard work. I would definitely use this moving company again and highly recommend them.

5-star Google reviewBrittany R.2 months ago
My dad's move has been so stressful for him, so we decided to hire movers to ease the load. We had Christian, Ethan, and Adrian for half a day and we didn't lift a finger. They were gentle with our belongings, courteous to our home, and professional with us! We will be using them again in the next few months when we move again. 5 stars!
