1-star Google reviewVina-Janea year ago
I used this company two years ago for unloading and had a great experience, so I decided to use them again — this time for loading. Unfortunately, it was 100% awful. I booked the required minimum of 2 movers for 2 hours, but only 1 mover showed up. I called immediately and was told they were "trying their best" to find someone else. No one else ever came. I ended up helping the one mover — not ideal, but necessary.
Reply from the business

Hey Vina-Jane, I’m really sorry for the position we put you in. One of the movers had a last-minute medical emergency and had to go to the hospital. By the time we had a second mover available, the job was already done — it only took one … More

2-star Google reviewJulie J.3 years ago
The "leader" got lost and was a half hour late getting here while his helper who was on time waited for him. He was grumpy when he did arrive and was NOT pleasant to be around. He announced on arrival that they were on a tight time schedule. He did as little work as possible while the helper did 80 percent of the work and was very pleasant. They finished a half hour early but he charged for the full 2 hours even though he was only here for an hour. If I were his helper I would be looking for a different job..

Hey Julie. Sorry we didn’t meet your expectations this time. Getting lost in the way to the job can happen, but that attitude is not acceptable at UniMovers. The mover in question is no longer with us

Terrible experience. Didn't fit everything on the truck after they said they would. Left us with so many things not on the truck!! Two guys had to do it alone and we were forced to help them. No satisfaction from the company after calling them!

Hey Kristine. When we talked on the phone, you wanted us to pull all of the boxes off the truck and repack everything. However, we had talked about how you had a trailer as well. On the phone, we decided the best way to move forward was to … More

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you so much to UniMovers and Hudson, Aiden, and Charles!!! They were absolutely amazing—so kind, respectful, and incredibly hardworking. They worked nonstop and took such great care of all of our belongings. They made a long moving day so much easier, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better crew. We are so appreciative of all their hard work and would highly recommend Hudson, Aiden, Charles, and UniMovers to anyone looking for a great moving team!

Aidan and Hari were friendly and prompt, and they did a phenomenal job! We scheduled a last-minute unload from a cross country move, and we were delighted with the service.
