1-star Google reviewJess T.6 years ago
Please pay attention to the negative reviews and do not hire Up & Down movers if you care about your furniture. We hired Up & Down Movers in September to move 3.5 miles from an apartment into a house. I corresponded multiple times with the office manager, Heather Lynn via phone and e-mail. It was confirmed (twice) that we would need a mattress cover and I gave an inventory of all the furniture that we needed to move, and that we would need furniture covers and proper wrapping.

Scheduled for a move....no show and no communication back. We were given a number for Heather who stated if we had any questions or concerns to call her in which case we did. She never answered my girlfriend’s calls however when we called from a different number she answered...and when we explained the movers had not arrived she said she would follow up...well she never did and stopped answering all calls from us. The company’s website states they are open till 9p however when we called it stated they were close.

The movers themselves were very nice and friendly, unfortunately the way they packed my furniture and boxes resulted in majority of my furniture being broken and boxes being damaged. They knew and were aware that I had 1300 miles to drive in a 26 foot U-Haul truck full of my entire life and when I arrived at my final destination and begin unpacking with the moving company there it was apparent just how many things were broken and damaged due to how they packed the truck.

1-star Google reviewDavid L.11 years ago
A little over a month ago I reserved them to load my rental truck for a move that I made out of state. I got a call on the same day saying they would be 5 hours late when my original appointment was for noon. I hired another company and they actually came within the hour and did a great job. I should have called them first since they were more reliable and the move with them went flawless.

My sons TV's screen was cracked during the move that he arranged with Up and Down Movers LLC. Numerous calls and emails over the past 2 weeks has resulted in no response from Aaron. I also read another review that the company is not insured …
Reply from the business

I apologize that you feel like my company dropped the ball, but I left your son a message letting him know that we can't be held liable for a complaint of damage 3 days after we moved him. On top of the fact that he had his friends helping him load and unload the truck as well.

They charged different and higher amount ($200) from invoice, to my credit card. This is almost FRAUD. I asked them to refund, but they just keep saying “I’ll response next Monday” for weeks. I think that “Monday” would never come to …

The two employees, Terency and equan were on time, Respectful, careful with all of my property, and worked from the moment they got here to the end of the move. Very easy to deal with. Very pleased with these two gentlemen. I would not hesitate to recommend this company and use their services again.

5-star Google reviewDavid B.a year ago
Hands down, one of the best moving experiences we've had (and we have moved A LOT). Aaron was terrific with the coordination of our move; Ali, Bryant & Jermaine were simply terrific; super communicative, very skilled, and personable. What could've been a very stressful day wasn't at all, in large part due to Up & Down Movers. HUGE thanks!

5-star Google reviewHeather L.6 years ago
Up and Down Movers is an amazing company Because it truly is Family operated. The men that work for Up and down go above and beyond for their customers and for the company itself. They treat each customer as though they are moving their own family. They get the job done always, And they get it done well. No matter how big or small how difficult no obstacle has ever gotten in the way of how they do their job. They are thorough Not just moving but helping the customers and assisting them in anyway they can.
