1-star Google reviewTheresa L.8 years ago
Our move was scheduled for Saturday morning, from 9-10am. I called on Friday to verify everything was set for the move and was assured they’d be here but the window would be later, from 11-12. I said okay. On move day, we did not hear anything until about 2:00pm when a mover called me. The 15 phone calls and emails I had sent that morning were unanswered and not responded to. The mover told me he was about an hour- hour and a half out still. With no other options, I said fine, we’ll see you then.

I had an appointment from 9-10am and the movers never showed up. I called Swiftway 8 times, left 2 voicemails, and sent 2 emails about my move. No one has called me or emailed me back. I was excited that they were able to schedule my move quickly, but I am very disappointed in the lack of responsiveness and lack of communication around my move.

Of course your movers weren’t mentioned because they did a great job. You clearly looked past my review and clearly LIED. Yes, there were no lights, yes, there was an odor, and that was because the building was CONDEMNED AND THERE WAS NO POEWER WHICH I TOLD YOU WELL IN ADVANCE AND WE EVEN TRIED TO COME UP WITH PLANS TO WORK AROUND IT together. The lie though is what MOLD??? Seriously, what mold are we talking about?

This was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. They brought 2 guys and one of there sons (which I was not informed of). I was able to pack up my entire town home and unload everything in the new house by the time it took them to move 10 items. I was charged not only hourly but by the item as well. What i was originally quoted was no were near the final cost. The final cost was more then double what I was quoted.

I called the office and went over every single detail for about 15 minutes. I was given the rate verbally and requested an email confirmation. Nothing happened for a week, so I called again after a week and surprised to hear that they can’t honor the rate and have to increase it by 25%. Requested to talk to supervisor, the same employee came back and I get we can’t keep the rate we offered. So professional!!! Waste of time.

This was our second time using Swiftway and the review is an average of our experiences. This time around we were moving out and had hired movers to load the truck. Their first job of the day took longer than anticipated and they were four …

We had a great experience with Swiftway. They were efficient and ensured that our items were packed carefully. The team was also very friendly!
5-star Google reviewAdam E.2 months ago
Swiftway Services did an excellent job. Their three-person team of Mayra, Echalon, and Francis were very nice and communicative. They helped move all large items out of our house and into a pod and were strategic in doing so, not wasting any time. They wrapped everything securely and made sure not to bump/damage the house or items when doing so. Will use their services again in the future and would recommend!

The crew was punctual, professional, and handled our belongings with great care. They arrived early and worked for 12 hours straight. The team was very friendly and I would recommend them to anyone!
5-star Google reviewRosie G.a month ago
So glad I read, information about Swiftway Services LLL and decided to call Doubly glad Leicester was the one that answered the Phone!!! He went over step by step all the services Swiftly Services offers to seniors doing a declutter of a home like ours lived in for 40+ years. And yes I am a clutter/ hoarder type person. I can, however release things, especially unneeded paper piles. I must say I am very impressed with Swiftway Services to have someone the caliber of Leicester.
