In their own words
Let me start by saying it’s nearing moving season. These 5 star post are family or friends. They didn’t think of checking the weather on some of these. We thought we’d “save” money. If you have furniture that means a lot to you. Understand, it doesn’t mean anything to them. It started w them waking up. If you’re in Louisville, they want you to pay them,,, to drive to the “starting” place. They’re coming from Bullitt County. So,,, 45 minutes,,, before you lay eyes on their truck. You just paid $45 minutes…. WT?!??
This is a fake, false review an employee that I have fired recently that threatened me with leaving a bunch of one star reviews. This is not a customer we have moved. This is a fake account defamation of my business. Talks about my family that is so very not true.
I called TopDogg Moving since my family was moving from a condo to a house in Louisville. John answered the phone. He assured me that we would be the second job for the day. He also texted that the movers would arrive between 1 pm and 3 pm. Before 1 pm, I went to the condo to wait. 3 pm passes by and there is no call nor the movers. I called John, and he informed me that the movers needed to eat and would arrive by 4 pm. This times passes, and there is no call about the delay again.
Sorry that we were not able to keep you on our schedule. We talk to you at 3 PM to let you know the job is finished and the crew will be taking a 45 minute to an hour lunch due to the fact it was 114° outside and in the back of the truck it is 130°.
John from TopDogg Moving contacted me after I submitted my information to a third-party moving quote website. He told me, "Normally, we do a $100 deposit if a customer has Zelle or Apple pay....but if they don't we just won't worry about a deposit." (I thought was odd because how would be day/time be reserved). Despite no contract being provided stating, "all deposits are non-refundable" I sent the $100 IN GOOD FAITH to reserve the spot. Later, I decided to cancel and gave nearly two weeks’ notice.
Sorry that you feel like we are one Star company with never doing business with us when a customer places a deposit that holds your spot and it’s nonrefundable if you decide to book with us and we lose other jobs because we hold your spot that’s what that deposit is for for people who cancel on us…
Very disappointed with the service provided. The initial move-out process went fairly well, but the delivery and unloading experience was extremely frustrating. The crew didn’t arrive until 10:30 PM and wasn’t finished unloading until 2:30 AM. Not only did the job take much longer than expected, but they also took multiple breaks and worked at a very slow pace. In addition, they did not reassemble everything as expected, leaving me with additional work after the move.
This is so untrue, we showed up at 7 PM the day of booking with us. I told you that you would be our last job of the day and we would show up late evening. We did not have a set time because you was the third job of the day.
We had the worst experience with this company. We only had a few items to move, and it was a job that could have easily been completed in about three hours. Instead, they dragged it out to nearly six hours, making it seem like they were intentionally wasting time to increase the cost. They originally estimated the move at around $500, but in the end they charged us almost $1,000.
Do not use this moving company. They were dishonest and very unprofessional. I was told the price would be $400 for 3 hours, but they worked extremely slowly and took much longer than necessary. The pickup and drop-off locations were only about 10 minutes apart, yet it took them forever to load and unload my belongings. It felt like they were moving slowly on purpose just to charge more. In the end, I was charged $740 instead of the agreed price.
Sorry that you do not like the service your review has some false facts! We never told you it was $400 for three hours because it’s $120 per hour for two men and $100 truck fee that equals $460 for three hours, we gave you an estimate of 3 to 5 hours. We did your job in four hours.
Don’t worry about using this company. John one of the owners scheduled an appointment at 5pm today with me and never showed. I called him to see if he was still coming because it was after 5. His response, “I can be there in 27 minutes”. No apology or nothing. I’ll take my business elsewhere. I knew they were too goo to be true. I know things happen. However, if a company can’t take the time on the initial appointment to communicate with you, that is a sign.
I set your estimate for 5 PM because I had a moving job. You called me at 5 PM and I said I’m wrapping up a Moving job. Let me call you back. I called you back in two minutes and said I will be there in 27 minutes you said no thank you I will take my business elsewhere.
Nobody even answers the phone. Just some woman's name on VM message. Left a voicemail, even questioning if I had the correct number. (Googled them and just hit the "call now" button. I DIDN'T actually dial a phone number so it wasn't on my end) Even asked that the woman call me back IF I didn't have the correct phone number. Still nothing. NO idea what is going on but that's ALL I got from their ad on Google.
Sorry, we did not get to do business with you or even get to speak with you. If you hit our call button, it comes straight to me my actual phone number so I do not understand this review.

In their own words
AMAZING!! We have moved several times and these guys are far by the best!! Outstanding communication from start to finish. Arrived on time and did not stop. Very friendly, professional and handled all our furniture and items with care. Great Rate s. You will not find better movers!
Thank you for your time and your business greatly appreciated
I cannot say enough good things about Top Dogg Moving! Moving across state lines felt like a huge task to take on, but Top Dogg made the entire process feel as seamless and stress-free as possible. John was incredibly helpful from the very beginning and did a great job explaining exactly what the process would look like. I especially appreciated the upfront flat-fee pricing.
There needs to be more Stars. Listen, Big Thanks to Tony and James. I have Never used a moving company, but the reviews for TopDogg helped make it super easy for me and the reviews were Right! This duo here is UNTOUCHABLE! I Set up a last minute move and got the BEST SERVICE EVER. These 2 men moved me from a 3rd floor apartment (40 steps) to a 2nd floor apartment (16 steps) with not 1 complaint. I conversated with them along the way and made sure they stayed hydrated.
Thank you for your time and your business. We greatly appreciate it and your feedback means a lot to us and our future customers. Glad we could give you five star Moving service for your local Moving in Louisville, Kentucky.
I revised my review. John the owner is great and answers texts right away. I am sure he is great at the moving also. The prices are the lowest of any place I called. I am just a 66 year old lady who is unable to do the packing but also can't afford the cost of having a company pack for me. I am sure that would be great and reviews show that with help packing the moving went well and on time. I had shoulder surgery in June and still not released to do heavy lifting or lifting.
Thank you for your review greatly appreciated
