In their own words
I hired Tucson Moving Service for a local move based on positive reviews, but my experience was the opposite. I was quoted for two movers, but three showed up without notice, increasing the cost. Additional fees for packing and materials were added without explanation, and I was rushed into signing a damage waiver despite being told damaged items “usually get replaced.” The movers handled my belongings carelessly, causing scuffed walls, damaged furniture, and missing parts.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your moving experience did not meet your expectations. We understand how important it is for our customers to have a smooth and stress-free move, and we regret that this was not your experience.
Do NOT use this company. The movers were slow... you are paying them by the hour, so the longer they take the more they make. The company also will make you pay for their movers to take smoking breaks. The manager first told me he would reimburse me some money for the smoke breaks, after I called to complain while it was happening. Then, at the end of the day when we were discussing the final amount he reneged on that promise and said he wouldn't reimburse me any money at all.
We're sorry to hear about your experience and are here to help. Please call us at ([phone removed] so we can follow up with you personally. Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention, Bobbi.
I do not typically leave negative reviews, but my experience with this moving company was unacceptable and warrants a warning to others. The pricing we were quoted upfront was not honored. What began as one agreed-upon amount escalated into a much higher charge by the end of the move, with little to no clear explanation. This felt extremely misleading and unprofessional. I made it very clear that we were working within a strict budget.
We appreciate your feedback, per our reply to Luciano, honestly matters when requesting an estimate but ultimately the cost will be determined by the time it takes to complete the job since it’s an hourly based service.
Make sure you shop around as this company is dishonest and does not give accurate pricing information. Many items they bill for were not disclosed in advance even though we asked multiple times. The price I was quoted was 105 an hour and then they sent 4 movers and it cost 210 an hour. We were three days from closing and were stuck with them. The cost for packing supplies was ridiculous. The reason we committed to them was to move a large gun safe and provided the dimensions and weight.
We appreciate your feedback but it’s full of lies but we won’t go over everything besides one maybe .. You moved 15 min away in vail after being in storage for a month and a half, so what 15 min away have to do with that?
I hired Tucson Moving to move me this year. They gave me the price quote over the phone after they asked the size of my move. They said it was a 2 man job. They said I would get a confirmation email. I've never dealt with a mover that didn't come out and do a price quote. I never got the confirmation email. I called and they verified I was on the schedule. The morning of the move the driver calls to ask me the size of the move. All the same questions I had told the guy that gave the original quote over the phone.
We acknowledge your feedback and note your concerns regarding your past experience. While this review is from some time ago, we’ve continued to focus on improving our processes to better serve our customers. Your comments have been noted as part of that ongoing effort.
Absolutely horrendous experience and customer service. TLDR: they showed up wanting over 3 times the estimate price before they would begin and used high pressure tactics like “the clock is already running.” When we called the owner to complain about the discrepancy he told us now you’re stuck in your house so enjoy it. We found another company who came out an hour later and did it below the price we were originally quoted here.
Thank you for your feedback, we will look into it.
Frauds. Tucson Moving Service misrepresented their price and then forged numbers on the hand written invoice. For shame these men take advantage of an already vulnerable position, lying and up-charging while my items were still in their position so I was forced into higher pricing. Only to find out they add $150 to my credit card we never discussed. Buyer beware. They are not to be trusted. Tucson Movers was a terrible and embarrassing experience for me.
Hi Ashley, We're sorry to hear you had a negative experience with our team. We strive to provide excellent customer service, clear pricing, and stress-free moving services. Please feel free to get in touch with our main office at: ([phone removed] so we can clarify our pricing policies.
This company by far has the worst customer service, no one knows anything except how to over charge and take advantage of the elderly and disabled. You know it is bad when the movers themselves cannot explain the pricing and why you pay for transportation in addition to fuel, and still pay them hourly while they are driving. So essentially we were quoted 2 guys, 4-5 hours, $109 an hour for 2 rooms in a 2 story house.
Thank you for your feedback, we treat all of our customers the same regards of their disability and we don’t offer free boxes and packing supplies as it was stated over the phone and on the moving day. We appreciate your business and wish you good luck on your next move.

In their own words
I recently used Tucson moving company for my move, and I couldn’t be more impressed! From start to finish, their team was professional, efficient, and friendly. They arrived on time, carefully packed all of my belongings with great attention to detail, and made sure everything arrived at my new home in perfect condition. The crew was hardworking, courteous, and worked seamlessly together, making the entire process stress-free. The pricing was fair, and there were no hidden fees or surprises.
Thank you for your kind words, we appreciate your business and support and look forward to helping you move again in the future! 😎 Tucson Moving Service
"We just completed a move with Tucson Moving Service last weekend, relocating from our 1-bedroom apartment in Tucson to a home in Phoenix. Working with the Tucson Moving Service team was an absolutely wonderful experience. From booking to move-in day, communication was excellent, and they were very responsive to our calls and emails. On the morning of the move, Alex and his team arrived earlier than expected and immediately started with a walkthrough and mapping out what needed to be taken.
Thank you for your kind words, we appreciate your business and support and look forward to working with you again in your future moves! Thank you 🙂 Tucson Moving Service
We were very pleased with the Tucson Moving Service. They were able to fit us into their schedule and got us through our move from Arizona to California right on time. They did an excellent job of loading and protecting our belongings and getting them to our storage unit where they met us and unloaded. It made the move SO much easier than renting a UHaul ourselves. Ben stayed in contact with us throughout the process and gave us a very fair price . We couldn’t have asked for anything better.
Thank you Kathy! We appreciate your business and positive feedback
I have never done a review during a service but Tucson Moving and Storage has made such an impact on me and my husband today. We had a hot tub moved by another company a few days ago, who was also supposed to do this whole house move, and it was such a disaster I called and canceled it during the hour tub move. I called Tucson Moving and Storage and Benjamin was so kind and understanding and took on our move with only 4 days notice! Junior and his crew have been outstanding and have really put our minds at ease.
Thank you Kathy for your kind words, it was our pleasure working with you today, we appreciate your business and support! Happy thanksgiving 🦃 Tucson Moving Service
