Searching for the best deal in value and quality, after getting quotes from 10+ places I decided to go with a better move. Here's my experience: Response Speed: they were fast and prompt in scheduling and planning my move a week before the move. Accommodating: movers normally don't like taking jobs on Sunday because it's their rest day, but they still took my job despite it being a Sunday. I wanted to move my car as well, and they were able to add that on for a fair price (lower than a lot of other movers) Quality: Oscar and Jeffrey were fast and careful with my items, everything reached the destination in one piece and no scratches. Not to mention I loved their energy! Above and Beyond: because of the heavy rain on the road to CA the trip got delayed by 2 hours and by the time they reach CA, there were no places to rent trolleys out, so they hand lifted all 30 boxes and furniture to my place instead with no complaints! I really appreciated that Overall 5/5 experience and would recommend to anyone moving within AZ or long distance to Cali/Texas read more

This company is dishonest and accepted cash from me for additional work without doing anything in return. In short, stole money. I had given Oscar cash to move additional crates we were unable to get in the first load, and he never moved them. I ended up having to move them myself. When I confronted him about it, he told me not to contact him anymore. I will be reversing all (outrageously overpriced) charges, as I do not pay dishonest thieves who take advantage of me. I would have given zero stars, but it wasn't an option. read more

Oscar and his team were amazing!!! They moved us from Arizona to Missouri. They had a 26' truck packed in 2 1/2 hours. They were reliable and communicated about everything very well. They were very careful with our belongings, making sure to use blankets and wrap all of our delicate stuff to protect it. The price was very reasonable for a cross-country move. We would use them again given the chance. Thank you!! read more

Quality of service - both customer service and the actual service provided - are always top of mind when I choose to work with a business/vendor; especially since it is becoming more rare. This is the reason I went with A Better Move. Their reviews looked amazing. Well, they definitely delivered (pun intended) in their promise and how they showed up on reviews. Oscar, the owner, was friendly, informative and communicative from the start. He was patient when I was asking all the questions, flexible in how he could complete the job, and went above and beyond. The fact that he spoke Spanish and knew how to work with a Mexican mom was the cherry on top. They provide quality service and competitive rates. We ended up paying a little more than we wanted because we paid them for the extra work they did and gave them a bigger tip than expected - they deserved it. I will be using Oscar and his team again for my mom's upcoming new home move, my future move and any other moves that I know about! read more

Oscar scheduled me without hesitation when I called him the night before my move! Very reasonable prices, for 2 movers for 2 hours(min.) the price is $150. Oscar is also a good communicator and kept me updated the entire time. I felt extremely bad just standing there, but our 2 movers, Angel and Joseph, were very efficient, fast and friendly. They unloaded our uhaul to our 3rd floor apartment in less than 45 minutes. It was hot too, but there were zero complaints from them. None of my items were stolen or damaged during this process. I will recommend them to everyone I know that is moving here. Thanks guys! read more

Was it just luck or was it hard work, willingness to jump right in and compassion? My scheduled mover showed up inebriated and I had to fire him on the morning of my whole 3 bedroom and garage move. In the moment, it was disaster but I started making calls for anyone to help me and I found A Better Move. I explained myself to Oscar and he understood I was in trouble. The guys didn't start until 4:30 after two other jobs but they got my 26ft rental truck professionally packed. It was too late at night to begin to unload at the new spot but they promised to show up the next day... and they did. Never did I feel guilty for the pressure of a same day late Friday afternoon desperate plea for help. All work was done with a smile and I could tell it was their goal to make this crazy day as positive as possible. Thank you!! read more

Oscar and another helper loaded my truck for an interstate move. They did not secure a 100+ year old bookcase properly, which fell during the move and shattered a glass panel. The bookcase was only tied with a rope and not braced against anything. I secured the bookcase myself with the same rope (which was not broken), and the bookcase survived the rest of the trip without issue. When I contacted Oscar, he asked for pictures of the damage, which I sent. I asked for a small amount to offset damages, less than it will take to fix. He delayed two days and then responded that because it was my truck and rope, he was not liable for damages during the move and that I should have checked their work. He refused to pay. I should have checked the work. I've never seen a bookcase that was loaded by itself like that, but I didn't follow up. However, I do consider it the mover's responsibility to secure things properly. read more

A Better Move - Movers Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I can't say enough good things about this company and Oscar and Jeffrey. They were communicative, respectful and efficient. They did an interstate move and they were flexible and amazing. I wish all movers were like this!!! Jeffrey especially is very considerate being mindful of being clean even while moving! My OCD appreciated this more than he will ever know. Thank you guys for making this tough move as easy as possible!! read more

I used A Better Move for my long-distance move from Scottsdale, AZ to San Diego, CA last week, and I am very happy I chose them. Oscar and Luke were kind and courteous (including check-ins before and on moving day), fast and efficient (both loading and unloading took less than 2 hours each, even in the brutal Arizona heat), and careful (all of my items were in the same condition after the move as they were before). The move was also very competitively priced, so I highly recommend using their services for your long-distance move. read more

The "A Better Team" arrive right on time to start our move. I mean from customer service, to wrapping our belongings they had it covered! Fast friendly and professional. They also introduced themselves to my entire family. Really made our kids feel comfortable and enjoy the move. Everybody knows you have to be very careful when it comes to moving companies. There are many companies that all they want to do is take advantage of the customers. But not the "A better Team." They were highly recommend it to me and everything that was said about their service was above and beyond. I highly recommend this team for any move in the nation or local city moving like our family today. Thank you so much guys it brings joy to us to know that there are companies out there with integrity and professionalism. read more

This is the second time we've used A Better Move and we highly recommend! We accumulated far more than we expected since moving last and nevertheless, they were flexible with us. They're quick, reliable, and friendly! read more

Very nice and patient guys. I was kind of mean to them and regret it because they didn't deserve it. I'd definitely recommend them.

Oscar and A Better Move will not let you down! I am a repeat customer for good reason. Can't beat his prices. Highly recommend A Better Move! He works quick which keeps the price down, I appreciate that. Oscar is the best!! read more

I have used this company twice now and I was very happy with their services. They were prompt (5 min early) and went right to work. Everything was handled with care and the various adjustments of furniture were met with smiles. Very nice young men and most courteous. read more

Definitely recommend; had 2 very good experiences with them. I utilized them first to help load up a POD; I was moving out of a 3rd floor apartment, and was over carrying stuff up and down those stairs. I called a few places to see if anyone would be willing to just help move the furniture (rather than also transport it), and one of the guys gave me Oscar's information. He was flexible and willing to work with my schedule, and was fairly priced. While the 2 guys who were 'assigned' to my place were running a little late (due to the place before me taking much longer), they did communicate with me and kept me apprised of their arrival time. The two guys worked hard and were great about hauling everything down those stairs (they got their workout for the week! Oh, and did I mention this was in August...). They had a system, and you could tell they knew what they were doing. They took care with my furniture, and I was never worried about any of it. And they got it all done in record time; it was a while ago, so I don't remember for sure, but I want to say it was barely over an hour! When I finally was ready to move into my new place, Oscar was the first person I reached out to, and he was ready to go again. Because of the limited availability to deliver the POD, I instead decided to just unload it at the POD facility, and Oscar was completely on board with that. His guys met me at the facility with their truck, unloaded everything from the POD into their truck, drove it over to my new place, and hauled it all upstairs for me (only 2nd floor this time!). While I wasn't there when they were unloading, my Uncle said they had it done promptly and efficiently, and there were no issues. I would definitely say to at least give them a call; I was impressed, and overall happy with my service. read more

We had the BEST experience with this company. We called the very last minute after having our movers call us 12 minutes before time too show Oscar and Angel should up loaded us drove to Casa grande unloaded us it was late in the evening and they kept good spirits. I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Oscar and Angle very much we appreciate you so much read more

After hiring and paying them through Uhaul Labor movers I had to contact them. They assured me they would be here between 8 and 8:30. No show. Texted them twice to see if they were running late ..NO RESPONSE. Called them twice...NO ANSWER. Two hours later still no response and no show. Finally called UHAUL MOVERS who also couldn't get them to answer. UHaul movers cancelled them for me and found me some great movers. DO NOT RECOMMEND THESE GUYS. read more

We had scheduled movers 3 weeks prior to our move and 12 minutes before they were supposed to show up they texted my husband to cancel. We were panicking trying to find someone as we could not manage to move the majority of our furniture by ourselves. My husband called everywhere and found A Better Move who showed up within 2 hrs! They were fast, professional, and careful! None of my items were damaged and they were so nice and friendly! 10/10 would recommend this company to anyone! read more

I couldn't have asked for better movers! Effective, efficient and fast. They got right to work and did not break a thing. They were very knowledgeable about how to move items and very friendly. I felt very confident in the service that they provided. I will definitely use them again! Thank you Oscar. read more

Oscar and Alex helped us with our move last weekend. They were on time showing up. Worked steady and in the time we had scheduled. Even traveled to the new apt. To unload the truck! We are older and moving is so hard for us now. But these young men Really helped us so very much! I would for sure hire them again. read more

A better move came to my rescue when no one else would. I needed help moving furniture after water damage repair and they came same day and charged me a very reasonable rate. They were very polite and professional. Would recommend for moving needs whether it be heavy furniture or moving house to house. So grateful for their help! read more

I just used these guys and am very happy with the results I got. They emptied a 26' uhaul with 3 guys in about an hour or so. I highly recommend them. read more

This was our first experience using movers and I honestly don't know what I've been doing with my life. This was an amazing experience! The company was wonderful, great customer service and well priced. personal items, boxes and furniture were handled with care. Oscar and Luke were top notch, friendly, and quick. Could not recommend them more! read more

Excellent, hard workers, stacked my truck like pros. I had a lot of fragile stuff that they handled delicately. Five stars. read more

We hired A Better Move at the last minute to help us unpack a moving truck. They showed up on time and unpacked our belongings quickly and carefully. Thanks Oscar! read more

I've hired these guys before and the only issue was they were very late. I hired them again thinking that would be the only issue, but I was wrong. I didn't follow the two guys around and watch them like a hawk and when they said they were done, I thought they meant everything was loaded into the truck. We ended up spending almost three hours loading the rest of the garage into the truck. Then once we started unloading things noticed all the items that the guys broke while moving and loading. I texted Oscar, he responded with "pictures?" So I sent some pictures, I then tried to call him and he did not answer. He sent a text saying he would call later. We find more items damaged, such as a brand new dining room table. I tried calling him again and still no answer. I called one of the movers who helped and told him what happened, Oscar then calls me yelling that they didn't break anything and then claimed that the guys were there for over 5 hours, which is not true and I have the security camera to prove it. I will be contacting the BBB. read more

A Better Move - Movers Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

See all

Great service. Were able to help me with a last minute moving request. They were fast and professional.

Oscar and his brother Marko left my house at 10pm at night....they were AMAZING. After I had the worst movers anyone could ask for these guys saved the day...The prior movers refused to deliver my belongings upstairs and caused thousand of dollars worth of damage...packed me like I was being evicted...these guys came in at the last minute...worked very hard....were incredibly professional and respectful...Oscar clearly cares to do a great job...confirmed with me the day before....called on the day of the move...took a break for dinner...called again...aside from doing a great move...furniture placement was fantastic...we measured to make sure things were center...they helped me unpack...my things... were helpful...NOT ONCE ANY INDICATION they were annoyed or bothered...true professionals from start to finish....so incredibly polite and respectful...asking if they could get some water or use the bathroom...at such a high time of stress to have such wonderful young men do such a great job...that I had to write the review on the same night right after the move after being exhausted myself.... I asked about the poor yelp reviews on here...and what occurred in 2016 was not Oscar but his helper when he was out of town... I RECOMMEND THEM 100%...so refreshing to see such devoted movers that take pride in their work...thank you Oscar & Marko... read more

They never showed up! We confirmed at 4pm on Friday by phone and text for 8am Saturday. They never showed up. Never called, never texted, never made contact to apologize. I don't know what happened in the 16 hours between Friday and Saturday, but we relied on the good reviews and were disappointed. read more

If I could give this "company" a negative star rating, I would. Where do I start? 1. We hired Oscar and crew for a move on Monday, July 25th for a move on Friday July 30th. We were quoted, via text from Oscar, X amount of $$. We did some shopping around for another price and decided that his price (for two movers, truck, shrink wrap, and pads) seemed very reasonable. We decided to book them on the 25th, via text. In writing! 2. We sent a text confirming the move and start time on the 27th to which he also confirmed he would bring 12 pads. 3. On the move date, 0851 hours on 7/30, I sent another text to Oscar to confirm move time at 0900. Didn't hear ANYTHING back for almost a half hour. Once we heard back from Oscar, via text and phone call, he stated that "his movers should be there and that he would try to get in touch with them to give us a call back". Almost another 30 minutes passed. We called again. Didn't hear anything. It's 10:00a now and still no response from Oscar and no sign of the movers at our front door. Oscar finally returned a text (@10:22a - we are now AN HOUR AND HALF LATE FROM SCHEDULED START TIME) and he said this, verbatim: "Have not got a response from them. I have no idea what happened to them. They were on their way in the truck heading your way this morning. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I'm up here by Fountain Hills at a job and my reception is bad. I can't use my phone here". To which I responded: "So what is the plan?" He called us back and had the audacity to say that he had NO idea what happened to his truck OR his movers and that he couldn't get in touch with any of them. He then proceeded to lie to me and tell me that he had filed a police report with the Tempe PD department for the "missing truck". Once I finally asked him when he thought he could get another crew/truck over to our home, he said THIS: "I would recommend you go rent a truck from Uhaul and hire some laborers". WHAAATTTTT?!?!?! When I asked Oscar if he was the owner, he stated he was the GM. I asked him for the owners name and phone number but he was only willing to give me a name (which I later found out to be false) and he "didn't have the phone number for his boss on him". I calmly told him I would be writing a yelp review, a review on Uhaul's site AND writing a letter to the BBB for his "company's" conduct. Before I could finish my statement, he hung up on me. I haven't heard back from him since. "A Better Move" is NOT a better move - in fact, from my experience, the company should be called "A No Move". DO NOT USE THESE FOOLS. THEY ARE SCAMMERS AND EXTREMELY UNRELIABLE!!!! Oscar represents a company that has ONE job - and that is to move. Needless to say, he failed to do so. His inability to communicate and/or follow through with the original work order caused a snowball effect that ended up costing me 2x's the amount of $$ - due to taking ANOTHER day, off from work, for A NEW company to come out in less than a day's notice. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. Also, it's interesting that when I went to file a complaint with BBB, their company is not recognized. That should be the FIRST clue that these nits aren't a "company". Hope this review helps you avoid the chaos that was caused to me and my family by the lack of care, concern, lies, and unprofessionalism from "A Better Move". read more

HORRIBLE COMPANY!!!! Oscar should call his company The Worse Move Ever Company or No Show Movers. DO NOT HIRE!!! I hired this company to move me today. They were suppose to arrive at 9am. It is now 6:20pm they never showed. I called them several times and texted and they never responded. BEWARE!!!! UNRELIABLE...THEY DESERVE NO STARS. read more

Oscar and his team member showed up for our move when they said they would. As soon as they arrived they introduced themselves, worked to identify what needed to be done and got right to work. They were quick, efficient and professional. I could tell they knew what they were doing and I was so thankful we booked them when we booked a Uhaul. Our move would've easily taken 3x as long without them. I would definitely use them again! read more

Oscar and his associate thankfully came to the rescue and came last minute since our other movers never showed up. They were super fast, very careful with everything, friendly, and very understandable. Thank you guys so much for coming, you seriously saved us. We couldn't have got the job done without you. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. read more

Guys came out late on a Saturday night, showed up within 30 minutes of calling, and they worked their butts off. Would use again, would recommend. read more

Quick and easy. They came with very little notice and busted there butts. Got the entire 30ft trailer unloaded in an hour! 10/10 would recommend! read more

I scheduled them through UHaul to help with a move. They never showed up. I would not recommend them for your moving needs.

This whole company is awesome & easy to deal with. Very efficient. Moved on short notice on July 3rd. We hired Mike & Marco for 2 hours & I have to say, they KILLED IT! They were done loading & unloading in less than the time we needed & had AMAZING attitudes/personality from the minute we met them. Even in the 110 degree weather! We would definitely recommend them & will be calling for them again for our next move at the end of the month! read more

WORST MOVING COMPANY EVER!!! Not only did they not show up they never even contacted me to let me know what happened?! I called the number they have listed AT LEAST 30 times left multiple messages, emailed and texted and NOT a word!! By the time we found out what was happening we were scrambling to get friends and family to help. At about 6:30 pm (7 hours after our original scheduled move time) I received a random text from the number I called listed at their main line that said they found this phone in Walmart but did not return it cause they were at work??? WHAT?? AND ON top of all this I am 5 MONTHS pregnant and only had my husband to move our entire house!!!! DO NOT book this company!! SO unprofessional! I still can't believe they just didn't show up?? Who does that? If I could give a NEGATIVE 100 stars I would. DON'T waste your money or time. I was crying the day of the move and so stressed out. Luckily the company we booked them through refunded all of our money back otherwise I would have been even more upset. I am in SHOCK they anybody has ever given them any stars whatsoever. I don't think they are real reviews cause this was the WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!! read more
