In their own words
Didn't get a final quote until the day before the move. Considerably more than we'd anticipated, but we'd already arranged everything and had no time to find anyone else. It was an quote per hour, with 7 guys and 2 trucks, so we believed it should be a relatively quick move. It took them 9 hours all told. In addition, we'd asked if they could haul off the bigger trash items for us. They were happy to, for an additional $80 per item ON TOP of the hourly fee.

This company is just a call center and they try to play the middle man for unknown moving company businesses. The person who is supposed to help us from Madison moving company. You move me is great at charging people before the appointment in the name of security deposit. They give a 2 hour window so that they don't have to be accountable in case of late arrival of the movers. Today our appointment was at 10 am. And its 2.45 pmand they still haven't showed up.

One of the WORST EXPERIENCE moving !! We hired them when we were moving apartments within our complex. They showed up late to begin with, argued with us, soiled my fabric bench ( dropped my plant on the bench) damaged our bed’s headboard , listened to music all the time instead of actually working and moving, it was a FRUSTRATING experience.
Terrible experience. Sounded reasonably priced and responsible at first and I was truly impressed by how fast and carefully they packed while we were in the house, although a few employees had certainly had a beer too many at 8 am...but I am not here to judge life choices. After we left - and we realized only later while unpacking - their work got sloppy at best. Trash packed in the same box as kitchen items, entire drawers simply emptied carelessly into moving boxes...and it got worse.
Hello Eliza. So sorry you weren't satisfied. We did our best to move you promptly, and on your budget as I know that was big for you. I did want to clear things up. None of our movers were under the influence. We have a strict policy against that.
The first thing I'm going to mention is the best thing. The workers Alfredo, Manny and Walter are salt-of-the-earth hardworking, nice guys. Please feed and water your movers. They deserve it! Management met with us to go over our move a month out. We were told one day for pack up (sleep at current location) and then load and move next day. No other instructions. We purposely moved all delicate artwork, expensive items ahead of time and left bigger stuff, kitchen, and books to be packed.

Stay away from this place. They charge double what they ask for. I booked an appointment for 9AM 3 weeks in advance, I got a call around 8:15 that they will be late 30min. It’s 10AM now and I call them they say they are close, they arrived at 10:15AM. I had 9 boxes, sofa, small dining table, tv, tv stand, dresser, matters, and my bed frame ready ( which I took apart to save sometime) 2 arrives and one of them was new, so it took them 2h to finish My move was from Santa Clara to Redwood City and it took the driver…

I enjoyed the customer service representative I spoke with on the phone however, the movers were very rough with the items, especially the tv's in addition they attempted to charge me more than the remaining balance on the job and completed the job ahead of schedule. Essentially they tried to charge me for time that they had not worked, stating "they usually charge for a minimum of 3 hours".

I was quoted for 2 movers with an estimate of 3.5 hours, $790, but on the day of the move there were 3 movers that took over 6 hours so the cost ended up being $1067 total. In addition to that, my $2500 television that is less than a year old was damaged to the point of being completely broken and inoperable. The corner was crushed and deformed, the screen cracked and damaged so it won't even turn on anymore.

In their own words
I cannot say enough good things about Manny and his team! They were on time, super fast, and took extreme care of my antique and sentimental items. I had a TON of stuff, random unboxed items, 2 yappy dogs, and a garage full of bins and decorations and they moved my entire house in less than the estimated time! They saved me money and they saved my sanity ! Here’s why you should hire them: -Easy booking.
Hello Jaci, it’s such a treat to hear about the impact that our amazing team had on your move! It’s customers like you that make our business successful. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this excellent review.
“You move me” has moved me and my family 3 times over the last 6 years and they are by far the BEST movers around at a very fair price. Tony and his team are always professional, friendly and most importantly work hard to make your moving situation the most ideal. My wife loves their attention to detail, use of runners and booties not to ruin the carpeting, careful wrapping of mirrors and delicates. No nicked walls either!!

Firstly, this was an astonishingly fast process. I worked with Tony Sandoval and it was very last minute to help my parents move out of their house. I explained our situation and it’s very hard because I live a state away and I could not help them move. My dad has had some health problems on the past and my mom and teenage sister couldn’t handle all the big stuff so I was worried for them to make it out on time. That’s where Tony and his team literally came in to save the day.
Thank you so much for the kind words Moses! We love that we were able to help. Moving can be stressful, and I am so happy we could make the process a little easier for both you and your parents! - Tony
I have recently moved to Arizona after living in my previous location for 16 years. The stress of going through all your stuff, downsizing, and packing are only a fraction of the stress areas of relocation. Tony from You Move Me was there for each crucial step of the process. He gave me an honest quote and was very understanding of the stress and logistics that I was dealing with. TJ and Jesse were on time and very helpful on the day the truck arrived to be loaded.
