The rating breakdown

7 of the 26 ratings in Google’s published star breakdown for Rush Express Services are one or two star.

Worked out from 26 ratings. That is enough to publish but few enough that one more review moves it noticeably, so read it as a hint rather than a measurement.

1-star Google reviewRaquel V.5 years ago
3 BdRM move. Two young guys (Andrew from Missouri) attempted to pack our 26’ uhaul and seemed nice and professional at first- except one was covered in dog hair and smelled like a sweat shop - not the essence I want on my belongings. The other (Andrew) was on the phone throughout the 2 hours I initially reserved and when I inspected after 1 hour they had only 1/4 of the truck packed and retorted “we don’t rush”. Their company is named RUSH !

There is never a reason for anyone to consider these jokers! They were referred by Uhaul on White Lane. I called them from there to book. I booked and was assured ‘done deal’. Time came, they did not show up. I called. I called Uhaul, they called. No answer. No answer. It wasted a half the morning of valuable time. Looked online and found someone else. Never, ever call these people!

Scheduled to load uhaul for one way move. Confirmed the night before. Did not show up: no phone call. Took numerous texts and phone calls and finally received a call hour and half later. Apologized and said they would be right out. Waited another 30 minutes and they never showed or called again. This was a one way move so it affected our schedule for the day. Caused us to pay an extra day for the uhaul trailer and to scramble to get help.

Tryed to move everything from a large house and Garage into a 26 foot u haul was too many items to load up with out damaging furniture already loaded so something was not going to fit with out damages going over 2000 miles cross country.

5-star Google reviewEric M.6 years ago
I enlisted the services of Rush Express twice. Once to help me move into Bakersfield (August 2018 with Ron & Cheeto) and once to help me move out (August 2019 with David and John). On each occasion they were on time an worked hard. They were responsive to my direction and cooperated well to accomplish my goals for the day. They were careful, polite, and respectful. Also, on each occasion I underestimated the time required however they were flexible and accommodating, remaining on the job until it was completed.

Andrew and his coworker were very efficient and professional. They assessed what needed to be loaded and proceeded with an excellent plan that utilized the space in the rental truck well. I highly recommend this team for anyone needing moving help!!

I had a great experience with this company. Andrew and his helper (I'm sorry I didn't get his name) did a wonderful job loading my uhaul. They were fast and efficient. I am very grateful!

Super nice guys. Loaded everything quickly and seemed to pack it in tightly. One star deduction for arriving a few hours later than expected.
