I was so happy with Motivated Movers. The guys showed up on time as scheduled, and got to work immediately. They were very professional, wrapped the pieces that needed it, and worked quickly while still treating my furniture with care. They even had to deal with an elevator at my apartment. Even when they were working diligently and efficiently, they were very friendly... and made this move very easy for me. All of my furniture and boxes got delivered to my new place with no scratches and all in good shape. And they got the job done in less time than my estimate. Best move ever for me !!! I highly recommend them and have already had one of my friends sign up with them. Thanks!!! Janet P. read more

Third time customer here. These guys do a good job. They are eager, polite, and careful. Only a few minor dings on the wall where our stairs are steep with a tight corner. Easily fixable. I know it's not easy to find and keep good hard-working people sometimes, especially in a job that's hard work lifting heavy things and being on your feet all day long. Good to see a company who must be doing something right to have a crew like MM has for us. read more

This is my second time using this company in the last year. Obviously I was happy with the service to use them a second time. This time was great as well. Demetrius and Dan did a great job with my move, which involved loading, driving to my new location, and unloading. It was a very hot day and they worked hard the whole time. The communication with the office staff was nice as well. They were very professional and friendly. I'm hoping to not move again in the near future, but if I do I will definitely use Motivated Movers a third time. read more

The two guys showed up a little late from a problem with fuel. They jumped on furniture and had it all securely packed in under two hours. They arrived at our new home the same day and unloaded everything and help setup before they left, still taking only about two hours. our son recommended these movers because he's used them twice with outstanding results. I will recommend them to anyone getting ready to move. read more

Logan and Daniel were all-stars. We needed some furniture moved inside the house that was moved around during the hurricane. They were friendly and hardworking young men that were very careful with our items and finished the job quickly. The price was very reasonable and I would definitely hire them again. read more

We had 4 items missing from a local move that didn't make it the 12 miles to our new home, they lost one of the feet off of our couch and deeply scraped the front of our brand new, expensive washing machine. And they were not an inexpensive moving company. Don't do it, go elsewhere. read more

They took some of ours stuff when they moved us in I would not recommend this place we talked to Rob there boss he basically blow us off he said the two guys no longer work for them !!!!!!!! read more

Great job, they showed up on time and did exactly as expected. Finding a reliable mover down here is very difficult, so glad I came across this company read more

They showed up on time, and were fantastic. Zane and Aaron helped pack up mat 2 bedroom apartment in 2 hours and were very polite, friendly, and personable. I wish I could take them everywhere i move because they were absolutely perfect! read more

Your movers need some serious anger management classes, from what I have witnessed today, it is amazing they even have a job, and it makes me wonder what type of management would even allow this type of behavior. read more

Never showed up. Never called. Never answered the phone. Pitiful. Said they'd be here between 3-5. It's 8:30. No call, no show, nothing. If you're gonna be late, it's ok just call. And if you aren't coming just call and say so. Pathetic. read more

Beware, the guys who run the office give you two different answers! Set up our move with Ryan, confirmed it with Kevin the day before. Then was shocked the day of when it wasn't what we were confirmed the day before. When the movers called Rob to take our credit card info. Rob said,"That's way too cheap!" They guys who moved us didn't know what to say. They were awesome by the way! Romero and Isaiah did a fantastic job! They were very respectful and careful with our items! Things didn't get iffy until they had to call in our credit card. Rob was completely unprofessional! Read comments above for more! When we called to sort this out, Kevin had to put us on hold 3 times to get his story straight. He informed me that ALL their calls are recorded and he would "investigate" and get back to me! He did forward me the calls assuming he was right but the calls only confirmed that they misled us the entire time! Don't waste your time with these con artists when you can rent a Uhual and pay people to move you from a legitimate company! So sad they are located in St. Andrew just down the road from where we work. We are both professionals at a local school. read more

If you only have big items to move, Motivated Movers does a satisfactory job. Otherwise, if you have numerous small items and shelves and drawers to pack (like most people do), I would not recommend them. PROS: -Movers were cordial -Did not break any items at all, which is very rare, in my experience -OK at moving big furniture pieces CONS: -We paid $30 extra per hour to hire 3 men, instead of 2. Our reasoning is that 2 guys would pack up the big items, while the other would pack up all the miscellaneous items, thus finishing the job in much less time. That didn't happen at all. I'm not sure what the 3rd guy did. They acted very confused about the fact that we wanted EVERYTHING PACKED. Everything. They asked my husband several times if we wanted everything in the kitchen cupboard and shelves packed. It was obvious they didn't want to be bothered with packing them. I am very used to military movers who will literally wrap up, label and box every single item in the house. Since we only moved about a mile away, my husband told them not to worry about a few shelves and fridge. His reasoning was that it would take them another 2 hours to do that, so forget it. You can imagine my absolute shock the next day after the move when we went back to the house and discovered that they had left enough of our stuff to fully pack my SUV two times! A move is stressful enough without having to go back to your house and discover everything the movers didn't pack. I was almost in tears. Some of those leftovers included pictures on the wall of me and my deceased dad. Thank goodness our move was local, otherwise I would have lost everything they neglected to pack! -Our house was only 1500 sqft with no garage and it took them two trips to load everything. They had a humongous tractor trailer, why were they unable to fit everything the first time around? What would they have done if we were moving thousands of miles away? They had to unload everything at the new place, then return to the old house to load more. This wasted an untold number of hours. -They did not label any boxes. read more

it was hard to give a 1. do not use. do not use if you value your belongings. 3 dozen blankets and straps were provided for wrapping furniture and securing items. tv smashed, not wrapped or secured. all, all furniture was damaged and not just minor scratches; i'm talking gashes, 12" long gashes, wood sheared off, sofa material torn, glass broken. the owner doesn't use dolly's because of an incident in which wood floors were damaged so it took 5 hours to load the truck which correlates to an increase in price as boxes were picked up 1 at a time and loaded. the loaders obviously weren't trained because boxes labeled fragile/glassware/china were on the bottom of boxes of books. furniture wasn't wrapped in blankets. when the door of the truck opened for unloading, glass was against the door, then iron bed rails and then the top to my entertainment center (not wrapped). all the glass was broken, the iron bed rails had made a long zig zag gash on the front of the entertainment center. the captain's chair to my grandmother's dining room set was broken! this has been going on for almost a year with no resolution. numerous communication has transpired between rob ,the manager, and myself. in the last communication rob was extremely sarcastic to me. i have never spoken to the owner. i have complied with their requests and provided over 100 pictures of the damages. numerous communications were repeat requests for what had already been provided. please use another moving company!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more
