In their own words
I’m not happy at all with the experience here. Poor communication on when movers would be there, often arriving outside of normal working hours and having my family stay up until past 11 PM. Multiple days to load, which was never communicated, creating delays for us and causing issues with me being able to complete work assignments. A missing truck—we were told our items would arrive today and one truck full of items, include my work set up is entirely MIA.
Hi Autumn, We’re truly sorry to hear about the challenges and frustrations you experienced during your move. The poor communication, delays, missing items, damages, and scheduling issues you described are unacceptable and far from the standard of service we strive to provide.
Avoid Zip Moving Company at All Costs – Terrible Experience If you’re in the market for a moving company that wastes your time, disregards efficiency, and offers zero customer service, Zip Moving Company is unfortunately the perfect candidate. My experience with them was nothing short of a nightmare. To start, the movers arrived and spent the first hour with excessive setup tasks. One worker even spent nearly the entire time on the phone.
Dear John, Thank you for sharing your experience. We truly regret to hear about the challenges you faced during your move. We would like the opportunity to address your concerns and make things right.
I have to give praises to Malik and Pablo, our packing and delivering team for working with exceptional care, patience professionalism. Now, our experience with the contractors is a hit and miss. Zach did not provide us with full scope of information. Why before hiring Zip I have not clue about these facts below?: 1) One has to pay a deposit to get a scheduled delivery. Please make sure you have a way to pay the day to schedule. 2) You don’t accept American Express? I lost 2500 sky miles.
Dear Angela, Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We truly appreciate your kind words about Malik and Pablo — we’re thrilled to hear that they handled your move with care, professionalism, and patience.
I regret using this company. They charge a lot and they are not that good. My stuff is scuffed and scraped. My desk is missing. They called me three times after the service to bug me to leave them a review. They charge way too much for a normal, bad moving company. The “furniture pads” they use are just brown paper, some plastic, and tape. It didn’t work. The corners of my furniture were ripped up through the plastic. I had a table and chairs that they just duct taped together! Just tape! It ruined the chairs.
Hey Christine, we really appreciate your feedback about this move. We're terribly sorry you found our calls about your move inconvenient, as we only wanted to get as much feedback from you as possible. We wish to state again that this was only a loading/unloading service.
I REPEAT. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY FOR ANYTHING. I REPEAT FOR NOTHING. If I could give this business a 0 star review I would. This is the absolute worst experience that I have ever had with a company in regard to communication. I HAVE NEVER BEEN TREATED WITH SUCH DISRESPECT AND LOW COURTESY FROM ANY COMPANY. The start of this horrible experience starts out with the first call which to their defense was not good. I have NEVER heard of a company ask a full upfront payment with out a deposit.
Dear Annie, We are sorry to hear that you've had a less-than-perfect experience during your recent move with us. We would love to help you out but we were not able to find any job matching the circumstances that you've described.
I would not recommend this company. We moved from Louisiana from Georgia and our weight was very close to the estimate. The truck was too small and we had to leave some of our items (grill) b/c they could not fit on the truck and strap mattresses and box springs to the outside of the truck. Besides that we were charged for packing of some of our furniture that was disassembled and communicated to be included in the price.
We are sincerely sorry that you were unhappy with your moving experience. Especially since you gave us 5-star review initially and then decided to update to 1 star. We work hard to do the best we can for our clients and if we fell short for you, we will always regret that.
Even though this company was more expensive than other movers I had looked at, I went with them due to their good reviews. Moving with Zip Moving and Storage was a terrible experience. I usually don't write bad reviews, but I gave this company multiple opportunities to right their wrongs and they did not, so I'm writing a review now. I was moving from a house to a small apartment, so I was donating a lot of furniture.
Hi McKenzie, Thank you for sharing your experience with Zip Moving and Storage. We are sorry to hear that your move didn't work out the way you wanted to, it was definitely not our intention. Your satisfaction remains our top priority and we wish to live up to that expectation of our customers.
We used zip moving and storage to move across the country. Great reviews on both Google and Yelp, so I was hopeful that the moving process would be smooth. There was poor communication on when the movers would come to pack our stuff. I had to call the day before to confirm time, but they are supposed to call 3-5 days before. The packing process was interesting… the lead mover sat on every piece of furniture we had and spun and leaned back on our chairs to confirm the condition.
Hi Janice, We’re very sorry to hear about the challenges you experienced during your cross-country move. The communication issues, delays, missing items, and damages you described are far from the standard of service we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating and disappointing this must…

In their own words
Zip Moving and Storage made the moving process so smooth and easy. They were responsive, on time, and reliable. The movers would inform me when they were on the way and were very quick with the moving process itself. They disassembled and reassembled the bigger items and securely wrapped up all of my fragile pieces. They legit rolled out a red carpet to keep from damaging my floors. From start to finish, they were very professional and responsive. Whenever I had a question, they would provide a prompt answer.

I made a quick decision and needed to move out from my apartment quickly, so I researched online and tried to find a reliable moving company. I lived on the third floor with some heavy furniture, so I knew I would need some help. Moving is always stressful, and having a bad moving experience was definitely the last thing I wanted to worry about. I called a few moving companies, and Zip Moving was the first responded quickly. Detail information was provided, and I was very impressed.
Dear Siauyee, We’re so happy to hear you’ve had a great experience with Zip Moving and Storage. Thanks so much for your kind feedback. We wish to take this opportunity to say thank you for allowing us to be your mover of choice.
I can’t say too many good things about Zip Moving. We recently used them to move our single family home into storage to hold until our new construction is finalized. The quote process was especially easy, a video walk through we here the associate listed the inventory and provided our quote. During the build up to our moving date, they constantly kept in touch with multiple courtesy calls and accommodated any changes we needed to make.

My experience with Zip Moving throughout the entire process was phenomenal. When moving there are a ton of options and services to choose from. I had never heard of Zip Moving before, but after speaking with Tony and Nikki Clay (Moving Consultants), they had sold me on moving forward with Zip Moving. We mapped out all the rooms and items I needed moving and received a fair quote for 3 movers. Upon arrival the movers were on time and friendly.
Dear Shayan, We are very pleased to see that you are happy with our service. We are so grateful for your kind words and thanks for sharing your review with us and the community. P.S. We started a referral program and would love your friends to know about us.
