In their own words
We did a PCS from HI to NC with Stewart M&S being the contracted provider for the military on the NC end. The moving crew was unprofessional as they constantly had conversations about drugs. They caused damage to the house and intimidated me to sign a document stating the damage was already there. There were constant smoke breaks so my home and belongings absorbed the smell of cigarettes. Multiple items were broken by the team as well.
Dear Mr. Coskun, we are so sorry to hear that your experience with us nearly 2 years ago was so unsatisfactory. Our notes from our quality checks do not indicate anything about the crew having conversations about drugs or leaving items out in your driveway - only that you stated that you requested…
Absolute worst moving experience in all my years of moving! A complete disgrace of a company with all their claims of awards and excellence. Look at the pictures of my possessions that they destroyed in a $10K move from NC to Ireland! Gross negligence and basic incompetence led to thousands of dollars in hideous damage to our personal goods. They did not inspect the shipping container for holes prior to loading (admitted in an email), and we ended up with a container full of water from a pin hole in the top.
There’s no option to give you a zero star rating, so a one star is the only option! We are completely dissatisfied with the service we have received from Stewart Moving and Storgae Company. We received our items Misnumbered and stolen. A 65 Flat Inch screen television along with a Mac a desk top computer, completely vanished from shipment. Along with other sensitive items. Although, the military will pay for this missing items, we will make sure this company be removed from the list to service military families.
We encourage you to file a police report if you believe you’ve been the victim of theft during your move. We closely track and monitor any and all reports of theft to cooperate fully with authorities and promptly remove any guilty parties from our staff.
Part 2 from THEY STOLE FROM A CHILD R Stringer When we arrived to our new home the delivery team, led by Louis, showed up at 4 pm to unload our shipment. Louis said he’d been driving all night and needed my help unloading as he had to sleep. So I helped these people (his two helpers) unload our shipment into the night. We had two dressers damaged and a changing table completely destroyed due to the way they packed everything into the truck.
Mr. and Ms. Stringer, we are disappointed that your move did not go without incident. Please rest assured that your concerns were taken seriously at the time you reported them and we addressed those internally, right away.
The worst service that I have ever had with ANY company. This company sent out two seperate groups of people to my home. Three women to pack and two men and a woman to load my household goods. The three women were polite but one of them made a comment that made me skeptical of some of my shoes possibly being stolen. While The women were packing, the other group decided to leave. While gone, the women who packed finished up with me and went over the inventory list of what was packed etc.
They were friendly and fast but did not do a complete unpacking(which they were paid to do). They took note of the condition of the home and appropriately noted any deficiencies in it before they started unpacking. I didn’t want dirty shoes all over my home so I made a space in the immediate room to put all of my belongings. I didn’t care so much about the “full unpacking” because I didn’t want them to stay longer than necessary because it felt hostile after what happened.
Good morning, KK. I am very sorry to hear this. If you would kindly email us at [email removed] and let us know the name and the order number that the move was under, we'd be happy to look into this for you.
Worst experience ever with a moving company. I was told through transportation they are the best in the Fayetteville area and that is not the truth. The gentleman that came out to do the estimate stated we would get a two day pack out and on day 3 the truck would come. On the first day, May 2023, they sent two to start. They worked so hard and the manager called to check in. I heard the conversation and they way she spoke to our packers.
Good day, Holly. We are truly shocked to hear this information after receiving positive feedback during the move services. We sincerely apologize that your move experience was not satisfactory. We have asked our warehouse to see if they are able to locate your parts box, as we speak.
On March 6, 2024 at Randolph Pointe on-post housing on Fort Liberty, NC, Stewart Moving & Storage were moving my neighbor at my BOQ apartment complex. They had all of my neighbors belongings laid out under the awning on our floor and in front of my apartment door. I was checking for some large Amazon packages (bedframe and headboord and kitchen chairs) during my lunch break approximately at noon. No packages had arrived yet. I returned at 4:00 pm and the movers were still loading up the truck.
Dear, AJ. We are very sorry for any confusion or issues this may have caused for you and have taken the time to review our policies and procedures when loading up shipments to avoid this type of mistake in the future.

I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Stewart Moving and Storage. From the very first phone call to the final box being unloaded, the entire team was professional, efficient, and genuinely committed to making my move as smooth and stress-free as possible. The crew showed up on time, came prepared with all the right equipment, and handled everything with care and precision.

My team of movers was exceptional. Please forgive me but I can’t remember the name of Ralph’s partner. This is not because he was any less awesome; I’m just bad with names. Ralph was communicative pre arrival; texting to introduce himself and letting me know they were on the way. They arrived on time and the move-in commenced. The actual delivery of my HHG was seamless because Ralph heard my needs and developed a plan to ensure I was comfortable with the process.

I had a largely positive experience with Stewart Moving & Storage, especially when it came to long-term storage and customer service. My belongings were stored for two full years, and I was truly impressed with how well everything was handled. When my items were returned, everything was intact, clean, and well-preserved, which speaks volumes about their storage practices. Their customer support team was excellent—friendly, professional, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process.

I recently used Stewart Moving for my PCS move, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, they exceeded my expectations in every way. First and foremost, the team was incredibly respectful—not just of me and my family but also of my belongings. They handled everything with great care and made sure even fragile items were securely packed and transported. Their timeliness was another standout feature.
Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience with us , Austin! We are thrilled to hear that our team exceeded your expectations and provided you with a stress-free and enjoyable moving experience.
