In their own words
Pretty horrible experience with this company and its owner Dustin. Dustin came out and inspected what we needed moved. He sent 3 movers on the day of the move - 1 was 16 and hungover and sat most of the day on our couch, 1 was obese, and the other was great. Took considerably longer than anticipated but we understood. One of our main pieces, a brother GTX printer which produces a majority of our income had to be moved with extreme care and not turned over due to the ink in the printer.
We are sorry for the experience you had. We thank you for the feedback. As to the "committing fraud" accusation, I agreed to honor a FVP claim if you agreed to pay for the upgraded protection, after the move was completed and the damage … More
Be careful when moving with this company. I used them as a recommendation from my sister that had a pleasant experience with the 4 guys that moved her. I got a different set of 2 guys and they were very hostile and aggressive. I had luggage set aside that I was taking with me that I did not want to go on the truck and when I asked them to remove it from the truck before it got buried in the truck I was met with hostility and and cursing and yelling.
Thank you Uchenna for your review. Good, bad or ugly we are always trying to strive for excellence. I am very sorry to hear you felt hostility with your crew, as that is definetly not behavior this driver and his crew normally display. … More
I had issues with this company from the beginning. First of all they showed up 2 and a half hours late, BUT in their response did not charge me the facility fee, which was acceptable. Now on the back end they showed up to my house on time but they forgot my couch, so I had to wait at my house for another 2 hours and they did not do anything due to the fact that they discounted on the front end. The reason they had to discount me was because they did something wrong.
Thank you Jared for your review. Good, bad or ugly we appreciate your feedback as we are always striving as a company to do better. We hate that you had complications with your moves but we feel as though we did everything we could to … More
I advise anyone who wants to move NOT to use this company. They aren't forward with what they charge and they take their time to move, THEY charge by the HOUR. So what should've been a 4 hour move took 6.5 hours and you had no choice but to pay them cuz they wanted to take their time. Took 2 hours to wrap and pack everything, and 4.5 to unload which is ridiculous. We even explained to the movers that their was an easier route to make the move easier on them cuz of the stairs and they advised against it.
Thank you Kyrstine for your review. I am sorry to hear you had a bad experience. Unfortunately, we are not able make everyone happy. The hourly estimate that was provided to you was based on a 2.5-hour labor/travel minimum and if the job … More

Thank you, Pat, for your review. We are sorry to hear that your siding is damaged but during the claims process there is unfortunately no evidence to support your claim that our crew created this damage. You were not onsite during your … More
Do Not use this company. We tried to purchase additional insurance and they stated that they had never had a claim and wouldn't write it up. They sent the wrong size truck, kept piling furniture in. Needless to say they destroyed our furniture. Brand New sectional sofa ruined, one of a kind cabinet broken, dining chairs crushed, bed broken, dresser legs broken, numerous boxes crushed and then were extremely rude and unprofessional when we were upset about the condition of our furniture.
Thank you Barry for your review. I am sorry that you had a bad experience. I want to start first by saying that the additional insurance which you were trying to purchase was not requested until the move had already begun and with state … More
I called to get a quote. They wanted me to list EVERY item I have to move. I asked for a clearer understanding and she said every item in each room in order to get a quote. Like what? You want to know how much clothes I have? I get you need an idea of my space but i'm not interested in doing all that to get an estimate. Then she hung up on me. Rude.
Hey Jennifer, thank you for your review. When we provide estimates we ask for an inventory list, so we can do our best to serve you. We understand that some clients have larger homes and if you would have provided some information on how … More
Many of my belongings were broken and shattered. At the price I was charged, things should have been ok. When they delivered to the storage unit things were thrown in, obviously. Now when i have got to my items, it is a disaster. Do not hire them. Your personal belongings will not be respected.
Hi Arden, we are so sorry that you had a bad experience with your move but OTM Moving and Storage did not provide you with these moving services. You had previously placed two reviews on our site. This one-star review and another 4-star … More

In their own words
Very professional, on time, quick, priced competitively. Tyriq and Quay did a great job moving my stuff in a timely manner despite having to go up 3 flights of stairs. My only complaint is that they do charge a processing fee for card which …
I have moved several times over the years and On The Move Moving Company was the best moving company I've used. Jayson and Cain were my movers and they were both professional and courteous. They were careful with each item and moved all of my things with care. There were no surprises and everything was explained to me in detail. I would definitely use OTM Moving Company again.
Throw and Quay were fabulous! Communication was excellent, the care of my piano was great, and they were both very professional. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
I am SO glad we hired OTM Moving to do our move for us!! We moved from Colbert Georgia to Florida. Everything went perfect! Our moving crew was Jayson, Cain Ray and Jacob. Really great guys and very hard workers. We set up the move …
