In their own words
Avoid this company if you value your belongings. Their team was unprofessional and treated my furniture terribly. They don’t provide anything close to a white‑glove service — they tossed items around, damaged my dresser, broke the legs, and then tried to blame it on the furniture being “loose.” They promised repairs and a replacement, but neither has happened. On top of that, they drove under the speed limit to inflate the hourly cost. I wouldn’t recommend them even to my worst enemy.
T.R. must be a competitors fake review because they can’t be speaking of Sam’s Movers. I encourage whoever T. R. Is to call us and identify themselves so we can rectify these false claims
The most AWFUL experience ever. Movers were 3 hours late, took 5 1/2 hours including stopping for drinks to move a 1 bedroom apt approx 5 miles with 3 movers. Then wanted $700 to leave furnishing on the wet ground or $1000 to take it upstairs. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!
Thank you for your support at Sam's Movers. We are your moving labor provider in Pasco county. You can count on Sam to be there on time regardless of traffic. We appreciate the feedback and hope to do business with you in the future.
I used Sams Movers specifically 2 of their movers to provide the labor only. I dealt directly with Sam after discovering that 2 pieces were missing from the move. After text and telephones conversations with Sam and 2 major verbal blowups …
Thank you Gregg for your feedback. Moving days are challenging and Sam's Movers makes it easy anywhere in Manatee county. Thank you for joining the family at Sam's Movers. See you soon.
Sam is a middle man who gives out jobs to small movers. I explained I had heavy furniture and wanted professionals who knew how to move quickly. I told him I wanted to keep it at 4 hours. He gave me his personal cell and said $99 for the 1st 2 hours and $99 for every other hour. He sends J R movers with an old U Haul truck. Nice guys but had never moved heavy furniture. They argued with each other had to call JR about everything and took 4 hours just to load the truck!
Thank you for your review Kay. At Sam's Movers, we have been serving our local Tampa community for 25+ years with great moves and a great attitude.
If zero stars were an option online that's exactly what I would give them! Just because you say ma'am after every sentence, doesn't make your services better. They were so slow that I (a woman of 5'2) had to help speed up the process by moving boxes, ect to the front room because I believe they were going SLOW on purpose just to make my final bill higher! One of the men complained that I had too much furniture, and sabotaged them, huh???
We appreciate the feedback. Sam's Movers has been servicing people moving in Pinellas County for years. Thank you for choosing Sam's and we appreciate you supporting your local movers.
Moving is already stressful and in choosing movers, you want a company that is reliable. I reached out to Sams mover over a month in advance. Unfortunately, 2 days before my move date, the company decided they would no long take credit card payments, after confirming that they would(heads up). On top of that, I was quoted several different prices throughout our scheduling, so much so, I requested an invoice. After my 3 request I was finally sent a picture of an handwritten invoice 2 days before my move date.
First, let's establish that the customer cancelled, we were totally willing to do the move. Customer failed to state that we moved her previously and everything was great. I informed her that we're done getting burnt by credit card scams. … More
Unprofessional company. Damaged My leather sectional and did not compensate for the damages. I asked for someone to just fix it at least . I offered the owner to come to my home because the workers lied about the quality of the couch . He never showed. The owner continuously asked me for the model of the couch, and I kept providing every detail that they needed. No resolution . Steer clear . Dragged the situation on for over a month with no solution so I left it in Gods hands.

I cant guve a good review because i feel that because being a woman the moving prices werenot explained well. Good learning experience; to ask all the questions otherwise you will have surprise prices. They movers were respectful otherwise would it be a good experience an a good review.
The 3 hour minimum was explained on the phone quote and also by the movers before the job started. Terms we're agreed upon, paperwork signed, job was done in less than 3 hours and customer did not want to pay for 3 hour minimum.

In their own words
Professional, quality service at a very reasonable price. I used them 4 years ago and tried them again just now - - they were on time, finished early, and with "nary" a problem. I will call them first every time in the future. Will definitely recommend Sam's Movers.
Thanks J.D. Wells for your feedback, we appreciate it. Calling Sam's Movers ensures that your movers experience in Greater Carrollwood is superbly managed, by southern lads and lasses. Our trucks are cruisn' down the road and have been recognizable for most your life.
Alex and TJ were excellent, great company and a pleasure to be around during a stressful time, they wrapped and moved my furniture and everything with care and did it incredibly fast from a 3rd floor apartment. The price was very affordable for a 60 mile move as well. I can't recommend them enough.
Sweet and thanks Mikey D. Our moving teams are great with Southern hospitality. Moving isn't just a day affair for most people as they still have to unpack while living. Alex and TJ will help just about anyone with a heavy microwave... even … More
Emergent call to me from friend but had to move it today!! Called Sam’s, 24 hr, not only answered but, help reassure me will make it happen, all taken care of immediately! Wow, was impressed with service and attitude and willingness, movers were Gentleman loaders, nice job!! Thank you
Thanks Sandy Fernandez for using us during the jam! Sam's Movers aren't perfect people but if you gotta move late at night with 5 calls down, you may reach a small crew willing to meet ya' anywhere in greater Tampa Bay - even when dippin' in or out!
The team of Lee and Jesse did a wonderful job moving us from a two story home packed with tubs of items and heavy furnishing to our new place. All went well and they were especially considerate working like worker bees. Thank you for taking such good care of us. Sylvia and Brad
Thanks Sylvia and Brad for the review. We know you enjoyed it... :). Nobody in the world is perfect, but our staff will come a few stories down with your couch at no sweat needed. In the truck with your belongings and somewhere else today - … More
