Reviews With Photos - Hi Desert Moving

I used this moving company on 11/18/18, the 2 guys who showed up were friendly enough. I had every intention of rating them well, hoping the owner would make good on returning the stolen property his employees took from me and overages that I was charged. Unfortunately neither concern has been resolved, and I'm forced to share this cautionary tale. I am extremely disappointed in the way this transaction has planned out. See notes and pics to substantiate my concerns: *Originally overcharged for mileage, challenged the movers on the spot, and they corrected the issue. Also overcharged for labor, which they would not correct. Provided exact mileage documentation to Hi Desert Moving Co. owners, Joe & Meagan, via email & proof of actual labor hours earned based on text messages from his employees upon arrival/departure at each location. --Spoke with owner Joe approximately 6 times out of the 10+ attempts to contact him. Each time we did actually speak, he acknowledged the invoicing errors, considering my detailed documentation of the transaction. He assured me he would reimburse the labor overage - which I have not yet received, six weeks after the fact (approx $180 owed to me). *My new Queen box spring was taken by his employee the day of the move. When I discovered the box spring had not been returned to my home as discussed, I reached out several times to find out where it was. After many attempts, I finally made contact with Joe, and he confirmed he did in fact still have the box spring in his moving truck. He apologized and assured me he would return it immediately. I had concerns with the storage and sanitation of the box spring after being out of my possession and in his truck for so long (at that point it had been 2+ weeks), so he offered to sanitize and return it right away. That was OVER SIX WEEKS AGO. At this point, the box spring has been STOLEN. I have basically begged to have this item returned, to no avail (see pics). I find it absolutely unacceptable, and consider it theft at this point, that this company can keep my belongings with no consequence. *Movers carelessly damaged the wall of the home I moved out of with a simple plastic edge of a box spring (see pics). The landlord charged me for this drywall damage, and the owner of Hi Desert Moving Co. conceded to reimburse me for this cost. I have yet to receive the reimbursement. I fully understand that my move took place a week before Thanksgiving and heading into a busy holiday season, but I find it absolutely unreasonable to allow 6+ weeks to go by without returning my property to me or reimbursing the monies owed. Really hope this is helpful and nobody else out there has to go through a similar experience. I love supporting small and local businesses, very bummed about this whole thing. Super disappointing, to say the least.

This was the guy that Mark Anthony that moved all her furniture awesome awesome guy

See all

Great company! Very affordable and friendly. Appreciated their honest and upfront pricingread more

Beware!!!! Its laughable the name of this company…read more Before booking I told them I needed an adjustable base bed moved from upstairs and that it was very heavy. He said no problem, they do this all the time. He said he would bring a 3rd guy just in case. He stated they bring all the blankets/supplies for protection. I booked them. He has you Zelle his wife Christina. They were supposed to show up at 7:30 but didnt arrive until 8. He did communicate he was running late but blamed it on U-Haul. He showed up, was very nice and talkative. There was only him (Abe) and another guy. I asked where the third guy was and he said that there was no need that they could do it. They then took the mattress and had no cover for it so I had to find some plastic to use. Had he not said he had everything I would have made sure I had a proper mattress cover. Then they started moving the adjustable base. They damaged my floors and ceiling all the way down the stairs. The top of the stairs is completely dented in and the subsequent stairs are chipped beyond repair. He apologized profusely and kept saying "don't worry, I've got you, I'll get this fixed." He was extremely kind the whole time, he kept apologizing and kept promising how he was going to get it fixed. At the end, I ended up paying the entire fee with trust that he would come through on his word, his name is indeed Honest Abe. It all started out just fine, he messaged me the next day that he was working on getting someone to come. A date was set up, I rearranged my work schedule to accommodate when he could be here but low and behold he said that he needed to move the time to the next day. That night I found out that it needed to be postponed again. Since then he has not responded to any phone calls or text messages and it's been a couple weeks. This is extremely disappointing. For someone who calls himself honest please take a look at my summary: 1) Didn't show up at time HE set up 2) showed up with one less guy than stated. 3) didn't have the proper supplies as promised 4) Ruined 7 Stair Nose pieces 5) Chipped and dented my ceiling 6) Promised he would fix it. Sadly, Im not the first. There is another review on here that sounds extremely similar. Do not trust "honest abe"!

They arrived on time, handled every item with care, and took the extra step of wrapping and protecting all of our belongings to make sure everything arrived safely. My husband and I had just purchased our first home together, and as exciting as it was, the moving process was also incredibly stressful. Valuable Moving truly made one of the most overwhelming parts of the experience feel effortless. Their team went above and beyond to make sure everything was moved carefully and efficiently, and they treated our belongings as if they were their own. We're so grateful for their hard work, kindness, and attention to detail. If you're looking for a moving company you can trust, we highly recommend Valuable Moving. They made our move into our first home a wonderful experience, and we couldn't be happier with the service we received!
