In their own words
I would never recommend this company. Every aspect of the experience was poor. I am going to list the issues with this company - THE MOVERS STOLE A PRESCRIPTION FROM A CLOSED CLOTHING BAG. We thought putting certain items buried in a clothing bag would be safe, but no they took it. Which means they went digging through personal belongings - Careless about your belongings and house. Broke several pieces of furniture and GOUGED, not just scratched but gouged hardwood floors.
Hi Brandon, I wanted to address the comments above as we do greatly appreciate the feedback. For starters, we have a strict theft policy and more importantly only hire individuals with high character. We were never made aware of any items being missing or possibly stolen.
DO NOT RECOMMEND, especially for large volume moves with decent pieces of furniture or a piano. Untrained, careless, and ill-equipped, they do not protect the home or furniture with consistency, and they do not cover any damages to the home. The standard valuation of 60 cents per dollar is based on their standard of furniture weights, which is nowhere specified in the contract.
Jane, we want to thank you for outlining your experience as we truly care about the well-being of our clients. We believed we outlined everything properly prior to your move, specifically within the contract stating the proper compensation per the states regulations.
BEWARE! I wish I could have left a more positive review, but my experience with Packhorse Moving has been incredibly disappointing. While the movers themselves were polite, the company’s failure to provide the proper materials—specifically the TV boxes we had rented—led to significant damage to my electronics. Our TVs valued at over $700, were damaged during the move due to the lack of adequate protection. To make matters worse, the response from the company was less than professional.
Hi Meg, we did take responsibility and actually went five times over the standard regulated payout amount. Which we paid out immediately. There was certainly a disconnect on the valuation coverage and we tried to explain the differences before we got hung up on.
Showed up late. Severally damaged two pieces of furniture less than one year old - a dresser over $2000 and a custom desk worth $1000. When I asked what happened the response was "we probably hit a bump in the road." Did not use packing materials, used the shrink wrap I had bought for something else, did not secure items in truck, dropped items as they were carrying them out of my house, and carelessly took apart certain items.
Anastasia, we do apologize that we were unable to provide you with our 5-star service that you deserve. We did try to address the matter with you in hopes to make things right. We would love to serve you in the future as we care greatly about our clients and ensuring they have the best move…
I am very disappointed with the service we received. Multiple pieces of furniture have paint marks and the wood was chipped. Our box spring cover was ripped and we were not informed. The movers were going to leave without informing us if any of the damage. They out the grill grates and knobs in the grill cover with got grease all over the inside of our grill cover. Our couches usually recline without issues and now the leg rests have to manually be put up without hitting a button.
Hi Angela, we are trying to locate your name in our records and are not able to find anything under the name "Angela Napolitano" or with this Google account. Please give us a call at 877-309-PACK to resolve any issues and to clarify which job this is reference too.
Hard workers-Absolutely! But when one of the movers broke the glass on the fire box as they came off the elevator (witnessed by a neighbor who reported it), they didn't own up to it. The lead said neither of the two helpers knew nothing about it (seriously???), so I was offered $12 despite the cost to replace it w/labor came to $57. So who's being dishonest here?
Sherri , we do apologize that we were unable to provide you our 5-star service that you deserve. We did try to address the matter with you in hopes to make things right. We would love to serve you in the future as we care greatly about our clients and ensuring they have the best move possible.
I had a terrible experience with Packhorse Moving and would not recommend them to anyone. One of the movers showed up clearly under the influence and reeking of marijuana, which immediately made me uncomfortable. I had trusted them with access to my home, and when I returned later, I found the garage door wide open, the back glass doors unlocked, and all the lights left on—completely disregarding my instructions and basic safety. At the new house, things didn’t improve.
Hi Emilie, we want to thank you for bringing these items up as we truly care about providing our clients with the best service. I know we have been following up to make things right, and we look forward to coming to a resolution. Thank you again for choosing us!
This Packhorse moving company movers are so rude. My neighbor hired them to move. They parked their truck which partial blocked my driveway. My neighbor has the corner unit in a private street which they has lot of empty street space for them to move their truck not to block my driveway. I asked 3 different men nicely for 3 times not to block my driveway and they still wouldn’t do it. Your company needs a better training on how to proceed your moving business.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We always aim to be respectful of neighbors and the surrounding community while completing a move. During moving jobs, our trucks sometimes need to be positioned temporarily to safely load and unload heavy items, especially on tight streets or when…

In their own words
I had an amazing experience with Packhorse Moving 10/10, highly recommend. They were punctual, professional, and super efficient from start to finish. The team stayed focused the entire time, handled everything with care, and not a single item was damaged. Communication was great throughout n they were very easy to work with. They made my move feel seamless from my old place to my new home which took so much stress off of me. Special shoutout to Shane and his assistant, they were incredible.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled Shane and the team made your move seamless and stress-free. We’ll be sure to pass along your shoutout, they’ll love hearing it! Wishing you all the best in your new home Jaleesa!
From the time I first contacted Pack Horse and received quick turnaround in response time, to the moment the last piece of furniture came off the truck, these guys were more than professional. Answered questions I had, handled the furniture with the respect I was hoping they would, they were an absolute delight to deal with! Start to finish! I would highly recommend Pack Horse. Great pricing, available time/moving dates, padded and covered furniture even inside the truck.
Deb, We would like to thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and our pleasure to provide you with our 5 star service.
Bobby was great at communicating and helped to set up the entire thing. He was very diligent in responding quickly and kept me in the loop with everything. Our moving crew, Jon and Deon, were incredible! They were diligent and mindful throughout the entire move. They cared for our belongings as if they were their own. They helped troubleshoot and brainstorm ideas on how to get a larger piece of furniture out of my one-bedroom apartment, which led to it not being damaged.
Christopher, it was truly a pleasure working with you! We hope to see you again and that you enjoy your new place!
I had a fantastic experience with Packhorse. I was referred to them by my partner and sister in law and chose them over other companies. Their rates were competitive but not rock-bottom (that’s a good thing) and they are full insured, etc. The team arrived during the arrival window and literally moved my office out in 20 minutes flat. They drove into Rittenhouse, parked the truck where it needed to go (made sure I had the necessary permit), and had my stuff up on the 3rd floor within 40 minutes.
Michael, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, We could not have asked for a better client, it was our pleasure working with you on this move. We hope you enjoy your new office.
