In their own words
I would not recommend Armstrong Moving & Storage based on my experience. Before our move, salesman Tom Allmon visited our home and discussed Armstrong providing packing services. He even mentioned using donated boxes to help reduce costs. Based on those conversations, we received an estimate of approximately $5,070. When the moving crew arrived, we were unexpectedly told that Armstrong's paperwork indicated we were responsible for packing our own belongings. This had never been communicated to us.
Sandra, we're sorry to hear about your experience, as we strive to make every interaction great. We understand you have been in contact with several of our team members, including our chief executive officer.
Horrible. Lost our items and offered no accountability, did not look just offered a portion of the cost to replace. Rude and snarky customer service no remorse or apology for losing personal belongings
Britt, we are sorry to hear about your experience. As discussed with you this week, Caroline will continue to review your move and the terms of your settlement. Please reach out to her at [phone removed] to further discuss your move.
Had a small move and was quoted six hours in July. I thought that was alot of time because of the few items being moved but was assured if we used less that a partial refund would be given so I agreed and paid. The move was great and was only three hours to the mintute of completion. The mover asked me to sign the paperwork and assured me he would fill out everything on his end later and that it was simply saying the job was complete and nothing was damaged so I agreed.
Martin, we are sorry to hear about your frustrating experience. We will be in further contact with you regarding your requested reimbursement.
We moved from Hornlake Ms to OliveBranch Ms literally 20 minutes down the street. While packing my house 2 movers dropped my couch on the ground twice. While one tried to get a grip of it the back ripped off and 2 small holes are on the top of the couch. Also while moving the furniture into the new home another mover dropped the kitchen table breaking it. The supervisor that was here said where is the glorilla glue so yeah they glued the legs back on then wrapped tape on it to hold it in place.
Nikki, we are very sorry to hear about your experience with our team, as we strive to make every customer interaction great. While we are currently working with you through the claims process, please feel free to reach out to me directly to further discuss your move.
I am not sure where to start, plan was to pack on Monday (Oct. 16th)...load truck on Tuesday. Monday Mike(the driver) and two men arrived and started to pack about 8am, by the time they left at 4:30ish not even half the house was packed. Tuesday morning got a call from Mike saying truck broke down and he would be there as soon as he could, in the mean time the other two men continued to pack. By 2pm Mike called saying truck would be fixed by morning and he would be there first thing in morning to start to load.
Annette, this is Mike Hodges, general manager of Armstrong Relocation – Memphis. I value feedback from our customers. We strive to continually improve our service and your comments are extremely helpful. I’m sorry to hear about your experience.
DO NOT LET JOEL THOMPSON MOVE YOU!!! He damaged and lost so many items it is unreal. He improperly packed literally everything in my house. They allocated 3 days for him to pack my house. He did it in one day and it shows. Every single box was packed as if as soon as a box was assembled people from every room in the house came and put items in that one box. Everything was mislabeled. Over half the items didn't even have item number tags.
Marcia, we're sorry to hear about your experience, as we strive to make every interaction great. As communicated, please file your claim so we can activate the process towards resolution. If you would like to discuss your move further, please contact me directly [phone removed].
Was informed the Packers would be at my place between 9am and 11am today. St 11:30a still no one. Got a call from Donna, checking in. She was surprised they weren't here. She checked and said they'd be here between 12 and 2. It's 3 now and still no one. I regret choosing them. Got a call at 4 saying they wouldn't be here today. The president called me and was dismissive of the fact that they had me sit here all day waiting on them and then no one showed up. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY.
While I understand you are a customer of our Madison, MS location, I am disappointed to hear about your packing experience with our Memphis-based team. I know our team has already apologized for the inconvenience, but if you would like to further discuss, please reach out to me directly or Donna…
I'd give half a star if I could. This company had eight weeks to plan our delivery and two to fine tune it... Well they failed and because of INFERIOR EQUIPMENT!!! Can you imagine TWO TRUCKS BROKEN DOWN for the same delivery? No direct phone calls nothing but excuses. Typical poor poor service from about southern run company.. Meanwhile will be sleeping in our car because $100.00 a night hotel reimbursement won't pay for a fleabag motel in Memphis.
Michael, we are sorry for your delivery experience. Our operations and safety teams work diligently on our fleet maintenance to prevent service challenges. Though we have been in frequent contact with both you and your spouse regarding this situation and ensured accommodations in the interim…

In their own words
Huge thanks to Dean Placek for making my move from California to Texas smooth and fast. My house items were picked up on Friday, September 16 and delivered on September 19. Dean was very respectful and stayed in communication with me. He was on time and made my first experience with a professional mover stress free and pleasurable. Definitely recommend Dean Placek at Armstrong Memphis. Thank you again.
Kim, thank you for sharing your experience with us! We are always so pleased to hear of another positive encounter with our team. Enjoy your new home and thank you for choosing Armstrong!
I have never moved cross country before. I was very nervous about how my one of a kind 1800’s antique furniture would fare. Christi was an excellent coordinator and kept me informed every step of the way! All of the people who came in to get me ready to move were top notch at what they did. Nathan Everman and his crew loaded the truck and drove everything to Florida. Nathan and his team were professional, kind, careful and extremely trustworthy! Nathan told me, “Don’t worry, I’ve got you”!
Hi, Anita! We're glad to hear everything went well and you were pleased with your move. We know that moving can be stressful and I'm glad our team could put you at ease. Thanks for the great review.
I cannot speak highly enough of the outstanding service provided by Robert Matthews and his team during our last military move. From start to finish, they exceeded our expectations and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Robert and his team demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that was truly impressive. They approached the task with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that every item was handled with care and properly secured for transport.
Rigo, thank you for sharing your experience with us! We are always so pleased to hear of another positive encounter with our team. Enjoy your new home and thank you for choosing Armstrong!
This is my fifth company relocation and our third time working with Teresa Williams, National Account Manager. Moving is hard, especially when you relocate every few years, but Teresa and her team from Armstrong made it a lot easier! The communication and customer service we received left us with ease every step of the way. We would like take this opportunity to acknowledge our driver, Tyrone. A truck driver’s life is hard. Being alone on the road all the time, away from family, with long hours can be tough.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. Our goal is always to ease the stress of relocating, and we are very pleased to hear that our team helped to do just that during your move. We appreciate you taking the time to share your positive experience with us, and we wish you all the best in your new…
