2-star Google reviewDrew H.2 years ago
What started out sounding great, it quickly went down hill. Unfortunately, I would not recommend Pink Zebra. The process started out very well, Pam our consultant was quick to respond and answer our questions and provide a quote for our move(unfortunately the quote was significantly less than what we actually were billed and paid, so plan for your quote to be 1.5-2X less than actual cost!). When the move was approaching we had unanswered emails and calls regarding the process.

It is pretty simple, my almost new bed was damaged and unfortunately in a visible place. We showed the movers, he took photos, expressed remorse and told us to file a claim with the office, which we did. The claim was denied because the bed was constructed with "compressed" wood and they are not responsible for furniture built with compressed wood. Mind you, this compressed wood footboard cost $500 to replace.
Reply from the business

Joe…sadly there is some particle board furniture that is meant to only be put together one time out of the box and NEVER moved. Our team made you aware and ask you to sign a compressed wood/particle board waiver at the beginning of the move for this very reason.

To say this moving company is horrible is an understatement. They are completely unprofessional and customer service is not a part of the company policy. Pink Zebra will break your furniture and when you file a complaint for them to pay for damages, they will tell you it is your fault, your furnitures fault, and every other excuse to not own up that their movers are careless. I would never recommend this company to anyone and I would suggest you find another mover, because Pink Zebra is not it!

I was quoted verbally and on my online statement that the dump fee was $50. What they didn’t mention was that the dump fee has a $200 labor charge added on to it as well. When I called and asked about this charge, I was told it was “standard policy.” I was not made aware of the $200 standard policy labor charge when I called to confirm that the dump fee was only $50 3 different times. (Also, I only requested two items to be dumped.
Reply from the business

Jaeden…we discussed the dump fee and labor charges. The $50 covered the dump fee that New Hanover Co charges to dump items. The labor was for our team to drive out to the landfill which include truck and fuel and to unload the items.

Want half of your furniture damaged? Then go ahead and use Pink Zebra! My couch has a hole in the bottom, one cabinet is completely destroyed, coffee table corner smashed in, desk legs broken, headboard ripped, tv stand and bookshelf scratched and dented, and several boxes crushed. The movers smashed my desk into the wall causing damage, then did it again on a different wall with my shelf, and full on dropped my couch.

1-star Google reviewTammy B.9 months ago
Crew was over 2 hrs late showing up at my house on moving day. Took almost 8 hrs to load up. They were supposed to arrive at my new house at 11 the next morning but didn't show up until almost 2 pm. Some of my furniture was damaged. Solid cherry headboard cracked on one corner. Refrigerator door handle badly scratched. New scratches and chips that were not previously there on furniture legs.
2-star Google reviewHeather W.6 months ago
The quote price was spot on accurate for the final cost and the movers were friendly and helpful. However, I was missing a step ladder and a Samsung sound bar after the move. It took 3 days and me calling 5 times to finally find out that the sound bar had been found but the step ladder had been lost. I paid $57.63 for this 3 step HBTower step ladder last year on Amazon. Based on Pink Zebra's claim repayment, they would reimburse me $7.14 because the item weighs 11.9lbs and they pay $0.60 per pound for a lost item.

Heather please call our office at [phone removed] so we can address your concerns. Our understanding was you found your ladder. Please tell us what we can do to make it right.

UPDATE: regarding the disgusting pile of dishonesty you responded with. I’ve never been more ashamed of any human being to sit here and respond the way you have with nothing with absolute filthy lies. Unlucky for you - I had professional photos taken of our home DATED AND TIME STAMPED days before moving out of our home and every bit of furniture you all destroyed is documented. It was all brand new furniture so it’s quite comical you would say there was prior damage.

*Update to Response * Taylor, we need to correct the record. This matter has now been decided by the court. A judgment was entered in our favor for the full invoice amount and court costs.

Pink Zebra Moving did an outstanding job from start to finish. Their movers were extremely efficient, professional, and hardworking throughout the entire move. They showed up on time, came prepared, and worked nonstop while still being careful with our belongings. What really stood out was how organized and efficient the team was—everything was packed, loaded, and unloaded with purpose and precision.

5-star Google reviewRaqueria B.3 years ago
I moved the contents of a one-bedroom apartment from storage to a townhome. The movers gave me a call to let me know they were on the way. They arrived on time and were extremely efficient in the move. The wrapped all fragile items to prevent dents or scratches and there were no hidden costs. They even beat the estimated time, which helped me to save money. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

5-star Google reviewLauren S.2 years ago
I hired the services of Pink Zebra to help with my move from a 1BR apartment to a single-family home. From the moment they arrived on site, they were professional & hard-working. After introducing themselves & completing some paperwork, they started the loading process, taking excellent care of my furniture items by wrapping everything thoroughly in blankets, plastic & tape. The entire move out took less than 2 hours.

Lauren….we work hard for reviews like this! WOW! Thank you for your kind words and I am so happy your experience was exceptional!

5-star Google reviewtyler S.2 years ago
I recently hired Pink Zebra Moving to help me relocate from an apartment in Wilmington to a house in Leland. This was my first time hiring a moving company, so I was quite nervous and unsure of what to expect. However, the team of three—Jay, Hank, and Colby—exceeded my expectations with their professionalism and personable nature. Jay immediately eased my nerves by making small talk while filling out the necessary forms.
Reply from the business

Tyler….I just read your review and am blown away. THANK YOU! I appreciate you taking the time to write about your experience. I also hope you know that Jay Hank and Colby get paid extra by Pink Zebra Moving of Wilmington for earning and working hard to receive your 5 Star Review.
