My friend called here and when they said they would charge her for a "couple hours" she asked them to be more specific. They told her she was "fucking stupid" several times and to take her business elsewhere. I called them back to ask what had happened and how the communication had gone so wrong, they said to me "hey buddy if you don't like it you're fucking stupid too, she's fucking stupid, and you can take your fucking business somewhere else" Keep in mind neither of us swore or raised our voices at this dude. It was really strange. Do not give these people your business. read more

Do not hire this company. My mother just moved and used this company and came out with a horrible story to tell about it. After showing up to move the owner of the company was rude from the start. Talking down to her the entire time and making a fuss about how she was going to pay. She was not trying to not pay him just was unclear about the price and he took it as her refusing to pay, so after loading all of her things into their truck (3 1/2 hours later) he threatened to leave and not move her things which resulted in the police being called to mediate the situation. She paid him after the police arrived and he moves her things only to leave them on the front yard when she paid for a full moving job ($600+). To take advantage of an older single woman that way is absolutely disgusting and I urge anyone moving not to use this company. BIG thumbs down. read more

Horrible Degrading Experience! Would leave zero stars if I could!! Local Movers, Lincoln Nebraska I had local movers scheduled to move us today, and we ended up not needing them with everything going on I completely forgot to call them back to cancel. They arrived today and I apologized and asked what I owed them for coming out. The driver told me I didn't owe anything because they didn't do any work, I again apologized and that was it. I then received a call from what I believe to be the owner immediately cussing me out calling me a stupid A** B***** Dumb F*** and B**** this B***** that!? I couldn't even get a word in to explain I offered to pay, but was declined! Do NOT use this company very unprofessional and who speaks to a customer let alone a woman that way?? Disgusting! read more

Just called to get an estimate. The guy on the phone was impatient and rude and would barely let me talk. Quoted me a 3-man crew prices for moving a one bedroom apartment. When I asked why a 3-man crew was needed over a 2-man crew, he started yelling at me. I didn't even get to chance to explain that I only needed furniture moved, not boxes. He then boasted that they were the cheapest in town, and if I didn't want a 3-man crew than they didn't need my business. He then promptly hung up on me before I could get a word in edgewise. That's not a way to treat a potential customer calling for an estimate! read more

First, I want to say that I used Local Movers 6 years ago and during that move I would rate the experience a true 5 stars, and this is the main reason that I called them back again for my 2nd move. Just as others have stated in previous reviews, they need to hire a receptionist to take the calls, Dave sounds very pissed on the phone and does not have a positive tone to achieve that Stellar Customer Service. My second recommendation is that they need to either ask more questions up front about the move or go on site prior to accepting a job to give a more accurate estimate and to know how many trucks they will need for the move. When I booked the move, I did state on the phone that I have a 4 BR, 3 story house. Reason why I say this is when the drivers first arrived, I immediately got a negative attitude from one of the workers which was the owner's brother. As he walked up to my house, he just kept saying how he was not happy in seeing this house and when we started walking inside to look around all he kept doing was cussing and saying this 'shit' is not going to fit on one truck, and the more we walked thru the house the attitude got worse and the language got worse. First impressions say a lot and the impression that I had at this point is my stuff did not mean anything to him and he was pissed off that he had to move it. I too, as others have stated was given an estimate of an hourly rate for a 3-man crew and only had 2 and the final charges were higher than the estimate but with all the issues we had I was not going to stoop at their level therefore I paid the rate. Later 2 others showed up which one was the owner 'Dave' who then walked thru as well and began saying too how everything was not going to fit on one truck. This again reflects the proper way to bid the job and knowing a 4 BR, 3 Story house will have several items. As the afternoon went on Dave's brother continued to cuss, call our stuff 'shit' and throw things around. In addition, I was told by Dave that there was no way he was going to be able to get everything on 2 trucks and that he was going to get things removed from the house and put into the garage and then he would have to come back the next day after 10am to finish. I did state that we were closing on the house and everything had to be out of the house on Thursday night. I then talked to my wife about this, and she went to ask Dave to explain why it could not be done and this is when oh hell broke loose. Dave immediately began belittling and screaming at my wife. He stated that we were trying to tell him how to do his job all day long, and that they were doing the best that they could however his volume was at a level you could hear at least 4-5 houses down and he would not stop yelling at my wife and treating her with disrespect. This was the most unprofessional response anyone could ever get let alone this was coming from the owner of the company. In the mist of his yelling, he kept saying that he has done this for over 40 years and knows his job. Well, if this was the case and if he has been like this and from other reviews on Goggle, he yells at people all the time and it is very hard for me to believe that he is still in business. At the end of his rampage and disrespectful yelling he stated that we were lucky the trucks were loaded as much as they were as he was going to unload our stuff in the front lawn. Then he continued the rant and did at point yell at his guys to back all the trucks up and start unloading. Luckily, this did not happen. I tried to interject as I wanted him to stop treating my wife with disrespect and for him to stop yelling at her. He kept trying to tell my wife to get her ass back inside where it belongs and let them do their job. At some point the decision was to continue loading, however that did not stop him and his brother from yelling and continue belittling my wife and all our belongings. His brother did say, "this is the main reason why I am not married". The next day things were better when they had to unload our stuff and we had no issues, however it still does not excuse the attitude of Dave and his brother, they are very disrespectful and truly are not professional in what they do. Will never use again! The verbal abuse continues as today I received a voicemail from Dave the owner regarding the posting of the review, and he continued with the same unprofessional comments and denying that anything happened and just like other reviews he tried to turn it around on me that we were in the wrong. Good thing his reactions and verbal abuse was captured on video so I can share that information to prove my point. A good business owner would call to say sorry for the issues you had and ask what they can do to fix the problem, not call and verbally abuse and yell on a voicemail message. Point proven they are not professional and should not be in business. read more

Warning! Don't use this company!! Rude, verbally aggressive, abusive to my spouse. Wish I could give a negative rating! They moved my neighbor yesterday, and blocked the entire roadway leading to our garage as well as the garages of eight of our neighbors. When asked to move so that people could gain access to their houses, the owner and some of his workers became extremely agitated, verbally aggressive and abusive, and even threatened my neighbor physically. They called my wife a f****** b****. How they can stay in business mystifies me. There are many many similar stories regarding this "company" in the yelp reviews. Beware. read more

I was supposed to move into a house I was buying but the loan fell through. My landlord had already rented my apartment out so I had to find a different one. Because of needing to be out in less than a week the new apartment needed me to wait until 4pm to move in. I called Local Movers to ask about the change and the guy was extremely rude saying "look lady, I'm not sending my guys out that late," Since when is 4pm late? Since when is being rude to paying customers okay? Never again Local Movers, never again. read more

Absolutely rude, I called to see about availability for 2 movers and a truck. I had 2 beds to move and a few furniture items. The man who answered the phone was extremely rude right from the beginning. He basically yelled at me saying I would need 3 men to do the job. When I told him I've used 2 movers previously he yelled even more. Absolutely rude service, I've never delt with someone like this before, instantly set off for no reason. I wouldn't trust someone like this moving my things. read more

The owner of this company and his crew was parked outside my home blocking the drive. My girlfriend needed to get to an appointment, asked the crew nicely to move quickly, and they ignored her; told her to wait until they were done. I went out and asked again and the owner was extremely verbally abusive and threatened violence but something must have crept into his small reptilian brain to not pull the trigger. Guy apparently needs some anger management lessons as well as additional education, your put downs were weak my friend.

HORRIBLE company!!! If I could give them zero stars I would. Very rude and drunk guy when I called to complain they broke a few glass items. Went WAY over estimate. Very unprofessional. Save yourself the trouble and avoid them at all costs. read more

I called Local Movers to get a quote on moving and the guy that answered the phone was verbally abusive and hung up on me!!! Don't even waste your time on this very unprofessional so called company!!! read more

Worst customer service you'll ever encounter. And it's the OWNER who's doing it. DO. NOT. HIRE!!

Don't even bother with Local Movers. Dave the owner and his brother are unprofessional and cannot be trusted. I also watched them treat their contract employees with no respect. read more

Im mad I even had to give them 1 star. Every Review on here is correct! I just got off the phone with him. He is extremely rude! He hung up on me after telling me I had no sense. All I was trying to do was get a quote. NEVER EVER CALL THE NUMBER PROVIDED!!! I would rather pay $500 and get some customer service before I get disrespected just trying to use some ones services that they provide! What the hell! Im so pissed I wanna drive there and tell him about him self! read more

I have never experienced being spoken to the way I was spoken to by these people. I called and left a message asking for a quote on a move. By the time they called me back (the next day, not a bad turnaround) I had already heard back from a different company and had decided to go with them. I was very polite and told them thank you for calling back but that I no longer needed a quote. The man on the phone proceeded to yell at me about how I "must have chosen a terrible company with no insurance and good luck with that". I told him that he wasn't being very friendly and he said "Ya, well there you go. It's a dumb choice, you must have found your company on craigslist or something" and hung up on me as I was responding. I am in complete shock right now. I cannot believe this man spoke to a lady like that. Based on the way I was yelled at, I would honestly be afraid to have them in my home. read more

Absolutely rude! Called to get a quote and he was rude and hung up. I called back to ask why and he said "you were beating around the bush". Every negative review you can find is correct. Horrible read more

DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY! When we moved to our new house, I had made an arrangement for these guys to start moving me between 9 & 11. By 12:30, they still hadn't shown up and no one would answer their phone (I think they recognized me on caller ID and wouldn't answer). My wife finally got through on her phone, and when she complained the guy started dropping f-bombs, cancelled the truck that was supposedly coming, and hung up on her. Luckily, I had already made a call to 2 Men & a Truck, and they did a great job on very short notice. The experience with Local Movers was a nightmare! I wasn't surprised to find out that they aren't registered with the BBB. Don't make the same mistake that I did and ignore these bad customer service reviews; avoid this company like the plague. read more

I called and simply asked a question in regards to when they start charging the customer for time spent moving. They explained it was 20 minutes on either end of the start/finish time. When I tried to clarify with the gentleman on the phone as to what this means he started bouncing around and getting heated. He finally asked if I wanted to book the move. I asked if he really wanted my business considering the way he was speaking with me on the phone. He thought about it for a second and said that he didn't want my business and hung up. A great business begins with customer service and this company is completely lacking in this realm. read more

LAUGHABLE customer service and the fact that this 'company' is even doing business in Lincoln is mind-blowing to me. The manager; David, is the most unprofessional, inconsiderate, disrespectful human being I've ever come in contact with (this is a fact, not an over-dramatic customer). Scheduled a Saturday AM move three weeks in advance. Manager calls at 8:00 Thursday night to say we'd been triple-booked so they'd be there 'sometime in the afternoon.' When my wife sounded understandably irritated, David told her to stop getting "attitude-y" adding that "things happen" and to "get over it." Apparently, David was well aware that his customer service was a joke and told her he "assumed we'd find someone else to move us now, which is cool, so just call and let us know" in his lazy, lack-luster, monotone voice. The story goes on and on, but needless to say, we DID NOT GIVE THEM OUR BUSINESS. And come to find out, I'm glad we didn't!! In talking to others who HAVE used Local Movers, they complained of profanity used by the movers in front of children and rather than moving boxes into the home, the movers only moved them to the garage because they figured the homeowners could "do the rest." To this day, I'm still shocked at how we were treated and I can only hope that EVERYONE reading this review take it seriously!! And DAVID, we as consumers did absolutely nothing wrong, so spare us your lame excuses. At the end of the day, there is NO excuse for treating people (paying customers) the way you did... and according to the dozens of reviews on Google, Yahoo, etc... the way you always have. read more

If I could give this a negative rating, I would. I called to confirm the date I was having things moved, I scheduled the date a month before, and was yelled at. The person, who I came to find out was the owner, threatened to not come. He also told me that I was being very negative and rude for thinking that they wouldn't come on the date. When I tried to explain that I was just confirming, he continued to berate me and then hung up on me. The gentlemen working for him on the actual day were wonderful. However, he was truly inappropriate and should never speak to people the way he did. read more

So.........when I called to schedule the move the person that I talked to was very rude! I went ahead and booked the move, but then later decided to cancel. He asked me why we decided to cancel and I told him it was because he was very unprofessional and rude, and we found someone else. He said "You took that personal"? I said yes. He told me to stick it up my A** and hung up. DO NOT HIRE THESE PEOPLE! read more

Oh my I wish I had read the previous person's comment before trying to hire this company. They are TERRIBLE! Don't waste your time or money. I call to set up a day for my move. When the day came and mover hadn't showed I called. They said "We moved you yesterday". I said no my move is for today. The guys was so rude called me a B**** and begin screaming at me. Wow talk about the worst experience ever! I know they are the cheapest in town....but spend the extra few dollars and go with someone else. read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!! They damage items in the move and when we called them to talk to them about the damaged items they cussed, yelled, and disrespected my wife. The movers did an average job, but they do not care about your business or customer service. This was the worst customer service I have ever heard about or experienced. read more

After arriving an hour late with no call three men curse and smoke in our home, meanwhile complaining the whole time about how much we had to move. THEN after being there a whole two hours of the three I booked(they were late remember), they wanted to charge me an HOUR of labor for going over 15 minutes. Absolutely repulsive. read more

This company must have changed management in the last 8 years (the last time we used them). Supposed to show up 8:15-8:30, got there at 8:40. They use their 15 min interval pricing to their advantage. Not real motivated to move too fast of course they get paid by the hour. 3 and a half hour job ended up being 5 hours hmmmmmm wonder why. And you don't make checks out to Local Movers, not sure what that is all about. We also chose to have the 3 man crew which was more money instead of 2 man crew so I guess it would have been more like 8 hours with 2 men. My husband also helped them a lot. We were only moving minimal amount of furniture for my mother who had downsized a lot before moving out. read more

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU HIRE THIS COMPANY. The owner is verbally abusive. He dropped the f-bomb along with a few more choice words. He wouldn't move me when he saw how much he was going to have to move. He was 2 hours late to begin with, then when he finally showed up, it was just him and an old man to move an entire storage shed! I asked him if he had another crew that could help him as I needed to get this move done, he said he was the owner and he could decide to move people or not. He said he wasn't moving me and got back in his truck. What a way to treat customers! That must have been what ticked him off as then I got called a b**** among other names. To say I felt unsafe and threatened is an understatement. Oh and Local Movers isn't registered at the BBB. You do not want to do business with LOCAL MOVERS, trust me! read more

So explain THIS. How can two men cannot get a boxspring up the stairs (a little tight) BUT a 100 pound lady can? Hmmmm...that's how my experience with them went. But don't y'all worry, my muscles and common sense got my boxspring up the stairs without a single scratch. Next time you need moving services, just call me. "One lady and a jeep." I'll actually try and use my brain to move your stuff! ;) read more

Never use this company. They unhooked our washer without turning water off. Water spayed out and caused over $5,000 damage as water ran down walls and into our basement. Owner was a complete jerk on the phone and said his employees would never do that. Started cussing at us over the phone and making threats. We said we'd contact a lawyer and he said he wouldn't pay even if we won a settlement. Complete jerk and worthless company. NEVER USE! read more

APPAULING is another word that could be used to describe the customer service and business practices of Local Movers of Lincoln. I had scheduled to use the company's services on two individual days for moving furniture during carpet installation. After making arrangements for a 2 man crew (based on the price and the 8 pieces total of furniture that needed to be moved from one room to another) I received a call at work 3 hours early saying that they were on their way. A 3 man crew (at an additional 25% - 30% cost) showed up at my home with "no idea" why 3 men were sent when I requested 2. I explained that if I was to be charged for a 3 man crew they would not be hired to replace the furniture after the carpet was installed. There was a phone call placed to the "manager" and I was informed that he had ordered them to leave. I got on the phone and tried to explain that I would be willing to pay for this crew once, but this type of "bait and switch" practice would ensure that they would not be used again for replacing the furniture. My comments were met with an appauling tiraide of profanity which continued on for quite some time until he simply hung up on me. I'm pretty sure that I won't be billed for their "travel time" which only delivered a load of vulgur profanity! As noted in the previous review - the DID NOT GET MY BUSINESS and I to can only hope that everyone who reads this review takes it seriously. It really isn't worth any costs savings for this company who touts on their website "Local Movers is professional moving at its best." - Not Even Close read more

Excellent service. They came to South Bend and only charged me a slightly higher hourly rate, rather than try to gouge me for a long-distance move ($$$ x weight x miles) like 2 Men and a Truck did. When I first contacted them, the person of the phone was polite and very willing to discuss possibilities, rates, and scheduling. I was contacted again the day before the scheduled move to confirm the date and arrival time. They arrived on time, got down to the work, did a very nice job of handling the items, and finished in a reasonable time frame. I have worked with other movers in the Lincoln area before who fiddled around and worked as slowly as possible while on an hourly rate. These guys were the total opposite. The only thing is, they didn't mention the "no checks when moving stuff to storage" policy so I had to pay with a credit card, which was an extra $12 fee. If I had known, I could have had enough cash on hand to cover the bill. read more

If I could give a negative rating I would! They pushed back the move time 3 times, making me about 3 hours behind schedule. When I called to talk to the boss about getting a different crew to my residence he said he didn't appreciate my attitude, told me I was a bitch and said I could find someone else to move me...all cause I asked if another crew was available. Would NEVER use them again! Wouldn't even recommend them to someone I disliked! read more

Shockingly RUDE! After 1 minute on the phone with this company I was able to determine that they would NOT be moving any of my items. I had called to get an estimate for moving a few specific, heavy items that I cannot handle myself. The man who spoke to me on the phone was dismissive, rude, and crude. I said that I thought the conversation was done and he said "well you have a nice day", but there was no "nice" in his voice. It was the most rude, unpleasant conversation I have had in my life! If this is how horrid they are BEFORE they take your money, imagine what they are after! EEK. read more

The guys were great. Very fast and didn't break anything. They were finished faster than the quote. The 3 guys that moved us were all polite. read more

Super rude people. Called in for an estimate, I'm moving from ONE ROOM in a 2 bedroom house to ONE ROOM in another house. Before I could explain my situation, they told me "we have to send 3 guys out for a 2 bedroom house". I clearly don't need 3 guys and when I was trying to explain myself, the guy said "we have to send 3 guys out or you could hire someone else, jeez". The entire phone call lasted for about 50 seconds then they hang up on me. If this is how you treat your potential customers, I have no idea how you would treat the real customers once you get them to your door. Would not recommend it to anyone. read more

Oh my Gosh. I can't believe this guy is still in business. The dude seriously does not have a clue how to run a business. I called him one month before my moving date. I told him July 31st. At the end of our call he said okay, July 30th. I said, no, July 31st. He said oh, July 31st. I said yes. His employee calls me on July 30th and said they are running early. I told him he has the wrong date. I told the guy to let me know if he could still move me July 31st. I never heard a word back. I text both the owner and employee. I left a message. I even sent a message and told them I assumed they were not going to move me since I haven't heard back. So I made other arrangements. The owner calls me an hour late telling me they will be ready in a half hour. Seriously dude, how was I suppose to know he was coming. He never replied back to my earlier messages. If I was his employees I would run. Why would they even want to work for such a incompetent man? When I called him back he started yelling that I wasn't going to find anyone cheaper. I hung up on him. Good Grief. I will gladly pay more money for a move than let this company move me. The owner would be better off flipping burgers at McDonalds. Ugh read more

Horrible customer service. When calling to schedule to go over moving options, the mover was extremely rude and lacked any form of politeness. I would not recommend this company. read more

I hired this company to move our business. They were 1.5 hours late and were suppose to bring things back on Sunday. I received a call on Saturday from the owner stating that his guys like to drink beer and now can only do Monday morning. I stated that is not what I signed up for. He loses it and starts yelling on the phone worse than a child that I can't make my mind up and am all over the place. He calls me a liar about leaving town and that I am a conceited piece of Sh_T! I could not get a word in for 10 minutes, as he was yelling on the phone. He would not unload our truck until he had cash up front. The price changed several times. We were shocked we got our stuff back. Do not hire under any circumstance! I have not met anyone in my life like the owner. He is a real piece of work. I would rate his business a 0 if it would let me. Please pass on the word. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Scheduled these people for unpacking services for an evening and morning based on the U-box delivery time we had been given. Explained everything thoroughly. They called twice before the delivery date/time to say they didn't have the time on their schedule and I explained it all again. The afternoon of the day of the first part of the move I called to be sure we were on the same page and the manager blew up at me. Told me I should have scheduled better with Uhaul, that he didn't believe that they had scheduled it for the evening, that I was lying and the Uboxes were probably already there, etc etc. A vile tirade. I hung up and my adult daughter called back to complain and the manager cancelled - which was ok at that point. Found another, better, more reputable and professional, and less expensive company, who agreed to come out on short notice. Stay far away from this company. Called BBB about them - apparently they have a pattern of this kind of "service." read more

I called to get more info about pricing etc...I was yelled at and called names by the gentleman who answered the phone. I have never ever been treated so unprofessionally by a business in my life. I can't imagine them doing good work by the things this man yelled at me. read more
