I called to inquire about booking this company for my 72-year-old mother, and the person I spoke with was extremely rude, to the point that it felt uncomfortable. I’m not sure if it was because I mentioned the word “budget” and they assumed we couldn’t afford the service, but whatever the reason, the attitude I encountered was enough to ensure I’d never book with them. To be fair, the price I was quoted was reasonable, and affordability wasn’t an issue.

This person's budget was 275, to move an entire 2 bed room apartment on a 3rd floor. No elevator to a city 9miles away to another 3rd floor? When we said we couldn't accommodate her mom's move for the price she was looking to spend she filled out and started cussing at our staff

This company is AWFUL. They moved my special persons home in mid june. Two movers got in a fist fight in the front yard. The move was a debacle from the word go. This fight which involved the owners son caused alot of emotional stress as well as delaying the entire process. Many broken items inside of boxes as well as numerous misplaced boxes in the home. In the end the big hearted owner and management gave a big 1.5 hour discount for all the stress, delay and trouble involved.

TERRIBLE! I was originally told the move would start between 3 and 5 on Friday only to find out it wouldn't be until 6:30. They rescheduled me for the next day between the hours of 2 and 4pm which was fine by me. Guess what happened next?? They called and said it would be more like 6:30, then when I called the main office they changed the estimated time of arrival to 8:30pm!! I pretty much wasted my entire Saturday waiting on these people.

They took 15-20 minute breaks every 45 minutes to an hour. They purposely dragged the whole process out to make more money. I told them I was only moving large furniture before they came. They still brought a truck that was too small. It didn't even fit our couch. Therefore they had to take multiple trips, which in turn cost more money and time for us. They were cheaper per hour, however with all of the breaks they ended up costing more.

Edit on 11/25/2023 - @ Chaz - I am not a FAKE reviewer, this is how you treat people! I attached the "contract" that you wrote to my parents and blocked out their names and signatures to protect their privacy. You managed to steal $1,500 in cash from them for work that you did not do. I was nice in my review below. If any potential customers would like to reach out to me, please do. Sadly, my dad passed away in July and was unable to post this review.

BEWARE...If I could give this company a 0 I would. They have moved me before and I even referred my niece and sister to them.... This time was very different...it was the Saturday before Superbowl so I anticipated that they would want to hurry and get done but I never expected that they would try to scam me in the process. Two movers showed up in the morning after calling and stating they would be late.

Let me start by saying I have the right moving company. Royal Movers in Wyandotte, Mi. The movers were unprofessional and rude to my senior mother who was moving into a senior living facility across the street from her previous housing. After five hours and 19 breaks (cigarette breaks, lunch break & cellphone breaks) the original agreed upon price went up an additional$290. For gas the movers only moved my mother across the street.

What a JERK! My sister called and got a price and told him, that his price was a little outside our budget but she would let him know! I called to go ahead and book it and he was a cocky JERK to me on the phone because "your sister told me I was too high"... um, no... she said it was OUTSIDE OUR BUDGET! Then he changed his price from what he told my sister. So I laughed because he was being a jerk and changed the price. He was arrogant and cocky and loudly laughing back at me and I hung up the phone.

I had an amazing experience with this moving company! From start to finish, Mike, Justin, and Steve were professional, punctual, and incredibly careful with all of my belongings. They handled everything with great attention to detail and made what could have been a stressful day feel completely smooth and organized. The movers were friendly, efficient, and worked quickly without cutting corners. Nothing was damaged, and they made sure everything was placed exactly where I wanted it in the new home.

I would give Justin and Steve from Royal Movers more than five stars if I could. They were careful, patient and courteous through a move that involved two houses and developed some difficulties. All the furniture came through in perfect condition. Scheduling with the office was easy. Great value for the money. I will be using Royal Movers again.

Mike, Justin “Toiken”, and Steve made our recent moving day a breeze! They were kind and efficient throughout the day and took great care to maneuver through the rental we were leaving as well as into our new construction home. I was impressed that they even took precaution to avoid bumping walls on their way back up from the basement. All three men were professional and personable.

Took a chance on a moving company and it really payed off. Highly recommend this team for anyone needing help with moving. The experience started off great from the beginning, Chaz was really helpful on the phone with any questions I had and accommodating my last minute move out day. The day prior and the morning of moving out, I was called to confirm everything and answer any last minute questions.

Thanks for giving us the chance to accommodate your moving needs, and if in the future you need reliable movers, than you know who to call!, thanks for the 5-⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
