In their own words
AVOID! Confirmed a 10:00am arrival, waited and waited, called, no answer. Uhaul had to be returned by 4pm so I was getting nervous because another days charge plus late fees was $150. No one called to say they were running late, so I started moving things myself (which I wasn’t supposed to do and ended up in the hospital with a torn rotator cuff because of this!) Movers finally showed up around 1:30pm, reeking like weed. I was moving into a storage unit down the street.
Thank you. Please refer to our TOS as available on pogmovinghelpers.com/tos or your emailed BOL on how to review for a claim
Zero Reliability – Paid in Full, No-Show, and Stranded in a New City I honestly wish there were a way to give this company 0 stars, because they don’t even deserve the 1 star I am forced to give them. A one-star rating implies they at least provided a service, but they provided nothing but stress and a total lack of accountability. I had an absolutely nightmare experience with Premier POG Moving and Helpers. If you are moving to the Phoenix area and need a team you can actually depend on, do not hire this company.
Thank you for your review.We do apologize for the mismanagement of the day's order.It was not brought to our attention until after the fact that the manager on duty miss scheduled, the job misrepresented, the job refused to complete the job that manager has since been fired for that, along with…
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY TO MOVE! TL;DR They will give you a price for Loading AND Unloading (Empahsis on and, they quoted me for both loading and unloading) but the day before, will try to charge you, 2x or even 3x more to complete what you already paid for and agreed upon. Terrible Company with Terrible business practices, if you value your belongings and your dollar, Find someone else to move your furniture.
This guy ordered through a 3rd party site and ignored policy ordering properly in order to scam and deceive. When caught he became hilariously insane and we reported customer and cancelled order
We had two trucks to unload, not knowing how long it would take to unload the trucks they suggested 5 hours (Hire a Helper). Since they are the “professionals” we agreed with it. They were there for 1.5 hours (two helpers) and now refuse to refund the total 3 hours of none used time. I’ve been playing phone tag with HIRE a Helper and POG moving. The company’s blame each other but refuse to do anything. Take your money somewhere else where they won’t take advantage of you.
Thank you, Unable to assist. No such customer name at any time.The signed contract is with what company? Send a copy. Which company charged your credit card? Send a copy. There is no signed contract between POG and this name.
* UPDATE* POG Moving & Helpers BEWARE!!!! We had a move scheduled with them on 01/16/24 and they ended up canceling our move after not showing up in the window of time that we were scheduled. They were going to be 2 hours late and then after being questioned they cancelled us. The owner will totally lie and try and turn this around onto the customer and use terms like God Bless You! Do not be fooled. If you have any trouble they will lie to get out of it.
Thank you- Happy to see that you received your full refund and without cancellation fees for your inconvenience. 1 Petr 3:14
Would not recommend. We hired P.O.G. Moving & Helpers to assist with unloading a 26-foot moving truck in Prescott after moving one of our clients from Colorado Springs. Our driver was onsite working alongside their crew, and we paid for the service in full upfront. During the unload, damage was done to our client’s hardwood stairs. As movers ourselves, we understand that accidents can happen. No moving company is perfect. What separates a good company from a bad one is how they handle things afterward.
It was a very hot day and they gave it their all, unfortunately it wasn't enough. When I first called, I gave a description of the move, thinking we would need at least four hours. When contacted the night before, I was asked again to give a description of everything I had, including an Electric bed which I indicated was extremely heavy. This seemed not to pose a concern to the person on the phone.
it's unfortunate when customers make decisions to try and sell an item and we leave it in their garage and when their craigslist sale falls through that we are expected to make a special trip to pick up an item that they now want donated and all done for FREE.
READ THIS FIRST!!!! Don’t use this company. Let me share my experience. The movers were supposed to show up at 6am and didn’t show by 630. I called POG and they said they would check on it. No call back. 650a called again and asked to speak to the office manager, I was told no. Movers finally showed at 805a. I called POG back at 855a to speak with the office manager. Pete answered.... what a gem..... told him about what happened and how I never got a call back.
Thank you We do not support the BBB due to their ineffectiveness and relevance. I am glad that my team arrived, loaded, wrapped and protected all of your items and co opted the job in under an hour for you.

In their own words
I hired POG to help me unload my storage unit in Mesa AZ into a U-Haul truck that I had rented. I was not able to do it myself due to our HOT June temps this year of 111 degrees! They really saved my BUTT! I'm too old and out of shape to work in that heat but Dennis and TJ of POG showed up EARLY (at 8am SHARP) on a Sunday morning to help me with my things.
Thank you so much for acknowledging what our team does best and that is to help our customers in their time of need we know how stressful and difficult moving is for everyone and ensuring us with the trust that you give us to be able to complete those moves thank you very much for acknowledging our…
It’s been a while since we moved and I definitely didn’t consider that moving a house and packing 3 bedrooms worth of stuff into a uhaul is not the same as moving from apartment to apartment. When I woke up the morning of the drive, I was DEAD and knew there was no way just me and hubby were going to be able to get the stuff out of the uhaul into the new place, after the 5 hour drive to get there. I put in a desperate request at 6am for same day help unloading in the afternoon.
Thank you for the solid review we really appreciate that here at POG moving we understand the stress and turmoil that comes with the fourth most stressful thing in one's life and we always want to be able to provide our best service with our professionally trained teams to take care of each and…
We rented a Ubox to transport property from Alaska to Arizona for a family member with age related disabilities. Moving Helpers was able to provide us with a company to load the belongings in Anchorage and another company to unload, once the Ubox arrived in Arizona. In Arizona, the Ubox arrived early and POG Moving Helpers was able to add us to their calendar promptly. POG completed the unload only 2 days later, which matched the Uhaul location's availability for the Ubox to be available.
Just spent the day with the POG moving crew (Lee, JT, Rick and Austin); quite possibly the hardest working moving crew that I have worked with (I have easily moved 10 times in the last 12 years) - the guys never stopped moving despite the excessive amount of stuff I had to move (10x30 storage unit and 109 degrees outside).
