These people are horrible. I am a handicapp widow senior citizen. They charged me $8000 to move me from boise to slc. During the move my jewry boxes are missing along with lots of other stuff. Also broke my furnature and gave me $30 for thousands dollars worth of damage. The staff have been rude and dismissive and have claimed i havent filled out the paperwork needed but i have. They will do or say anything to get out of paying. If you choose these people after reading this you are a fool.
1-star Google reviewDean D.8 years ago
2 man movers are the worst movers ever. They have left my mothers life in disarray after we entrusted them to move her to utah. Jewelry is not the only thing she is missing after the move. They failed to mark any of the boxes which has made it a very long and difficult process to unpack. We haved filled numerous claim forms that they clasim they have never received. They talk over us rather than listen to us. It is evident that after they soaked us for over $8000 they want nothing to do with making anything right.

I would definitely, absolutely, under no circumstance whatsoever use two man movers for anything! I received a quote over the phone and when they showed up at my house quoted prices and time frames to do the job were much higher than what I was told beforehand. I told them that I was quoted much lower transit price and hours to do the job. The movers at my house which appeared like 4 high school kids would not budge.

I would never use this company. Unfortunately I had the opportunity to have a very rude interaction with them on a job that did not involve myself. I was at my storage unit which unfortunately only has one ramp for big trucks to unload, which is yes inconvenient on their end but that’s not the issue at hand. A friend and myself had just started unloading our truck and took in our first big load; As we came out their oh so pleasant customer followed us to our truck and stated “how much longer are you going to take…

Never again. First Two Man did a bait and switch on me. Just four days before the move which I had to guarantee with a $500 deposit, Two Man prepared a second estimate. Not surprisingly the second estimate was more expensive than the first. I had to accept the higher estimate because it was too late to find another mover on short notice. Second, Two Man did a terrible job packing and loading of our furniture. Initially Two Man had a great story about how careful they would be with our furniture.

My only complaint is that I was charged $145 dollars for their drive from their office in Salt Lake to my home I was moving out of in Farmington going to Bountiful. Even my movers thought it was a mistake and assured me it would be fixed , and to just call. When I called , they basically said it was on the bid I agreed to and wouldn't budge, and couldn't justify it . I didn't think it was handled very well at all. I have used them on multiple occasions and referred them to many people .

First, we did get moved. second,when I called I was led me to believe that they were, 2 men and a truck. ( whom did a fabulous job on my previous move) Third the move was in a brand new town home and apparently they don’t know how to move items in a tight situation. My walls and banisters were all scratched and banged up and my brand new fridge was dented and scratched on the move. Lastly, they did not know how to bring the labeled boxes to the right rooms. Next time, I will find 2 men and a truck!

Dean, As stated, your mother chose for the $.60/lb liability on any and all damages that might have happened during the move, she chose to not go for a higher liability.We did try to fix items and reimburse as much as we could, but she only claimed for a dresser, coffee table, and an end table that…

2-man movers helped me with a move from my storage unit + residence to my new residence. I am on a tight budget and they worked with me to keep things running on time and for a very fair price. The sales manager Travis was very responsive and easy to communicate with, and understanding of my situation; the movers themselves were hard-working, friendly and careful about not nicking walls etc. I even got a great tip about where to arrange some furniture that has turned out to work great for us.

Wow, thank you. This was really fun to read, happy that we could be of assistance.

5-star Google reviewTamara B.4 years ago
Two Man Movers and Storage helped move my dad and they were great. Travis came to the house and gave us a clear estimate and answered all of our questions. He was also helpful in answering more questions as they came up later. They packaged and moved his items out of the house with care and were friendly and kind. I do not have all of the movers' names for who helped move him out, but one man helped take an inventory of every single item and wrote it all down and explained the process.
5-star Google reviewMary W.7 years ago
Two Men Movers are simply the best! Three years ago we sold our home and began building a new one. Two men moved us out of our house and stored our things for us until the new home was built. They then moved our things out of storage and into our new place, which is up in the mountains, not easily accessible. We have a large collection of museum quality antiques which we were concerned about. We could not have asked for more careful packing and moving!

Wow Mary, we are very touched by the compliments you give our staff and team. Remembering their names to the time and effort you put into this comment as well as feeding our crew. Thank you very much!!

Three Moves - in 2 Years - gets an A++++ My first move with Two Man Movers was in late 2017. I had nearly no notice on this move, yet Two Man Movers was there for us to provide complete packing services for a very large home. When we were finally ready for our final move in - we had to take it in two phases (two moves, a week apart from each other). This time was definitely more challenging for the team because we were moving to a new home where the driveway was not yet complete!

Wow. Thank you for sharing so much with us. It truly was a pleasure working with you, from start to finish.
