*edit 4/18 - The company was quick to reply to my review suggesting that I reach out to customer…read moreservice. I did, and got an email back from COO Hayden Curtis. I was told that even though I was proactive about the challenges at the destination, the move and charges are what they are. I wished them the best, and hopefully my negative review remains an outlier.* I want to start by saying that I explained to A Smart Move that I would be leaving a poor review based on my experience with their pricing. I was told that they understood and would share my feedback internally. I was quoted just under $2k for a 3 bedroom move 5 miles (about 15min drive) away. The destination address is on a steep hill, and I made sure to send pictures and ask questions before the move. I was told that it would be no problem at all. The move was rough. They started at 8am and were loaded by around 1pm. At 2pm (includes a lunch break) they arrived at the destination and decided on the spot not to use the driveway and to cart my items up the steep driveway by hand. It ran long, and I was told around 4pm that they would be calling an extra two people to help at a cost of $135/hr. I was told I did not have a choice in this. They arrived at 4:30pm, and we were all finished at 5:10pm. So, doing the math, we had $2,000 for the move, $135 x 2 which we will round up to $300, and I added insurance the day before for $300. Our total due should be roughly $2,600, minus the $200 deposit I already gave them, for $2,400. The evening of the move they attempted to charge me $4,109.58, which was luckily declined. Over the following day or two I had several calls with them. They explained that they were already discounting the rate, and that the weight of items moved was higher than their initial estimate and made more work. I get that estimates can be wrong, but they actually moved LESS items than what was estimated due to me doing numerous van loads before move day. Additionally, at the destination, all I asked them to do was put the furniture in the correct rooms and leave the boxes outside the garage door for me to put away. Anyway, at the end of the day, I ended up paying a total of $3,312.78. Not including the insurance costs, that's just over a grand in additional fees, or an added 50% of the total cost to move. The excess really stretched us financially. I charged it to a credit card only to be told that there would be additional fees now for credit card usage. This was right after we got a $25 credit for having to clean up trash that they left in my front yard. We didn't even mention that the bathroom in our new place was peed all over, which was a delight to clean. My wife and I have mobility issues, so we really needed the help on this move, and it was incredibly frustrating to have this experience. All of this said, the movers themselves worked extremely hard. We bought them lunch between the loading/unloading, offered water throughout the day, and tipped them in cash.

There's a reason only positive reviews are posted!…read more After a 4-month nightmare with A Smart Move, I feel compelled to share our experience to help others avoid this company. Despite their marketing promise to "Calm Your Chaos," they created nothing but challenges from start to finish. The Good: The San Diego pickup crew worked hard, and our driver Shaun was communicative and professional. The Bad - Everything Else: Delivery Day Disaster: The Texas delivery team arrived 3 hours late. We received only two text updates well after they were already behind schedule. When I was told to start calling the crew myself to get updates, I knew we were in trouble. Understaffed and Unprepared: Despite our contract specifying 6 team members, only 5 showed up - including two extremely young, inexperienced workers who couldn't handle basic tasks. My husband and I ended up moving our own furniture and reassembling pieces ourselves because the crew was so ineffective. Significant Damage: They damaged an antique desk (that we were told they would treat with ultimate care), knocked a ceiling fan from its mount (exposing dangerous wires), gouged our stairwell, and broke an electrical outlet cover. Multiple smaller items were also damaged. Dishonest Claims Process: The real nightmare began with the claims process. After waiting nearly 4 months, and spending countless hours on documentation, they offered $60 to repair an antique desk. They claimed they never received photos, The final settlement offer came with a gag order prohibiting any negative reviews. Broken Promises: Ultimately, the upfront promises turned to gaslighting and customer shaming once we moved in to the claims process. The Worst Part: A pattern of hoping customers will just accept subpar service and minimal compensation rather than speak up. The gag clause in their settlement agreement suggests this isn't isolated and may be why their current online review schema is so high.

Junior and his crew did an awesome job transporting all of our belongings to Arizona, and then assuring we were settled in. When my wife and I decided to move back to San Diego, Labor Force Movers met us at our new condo. Not only did they unloaded everything for us but helped us by installing our beds, washer & dryer, etc. All this occurred between nine and six years ago. Recently we purchased a home. Once again, Junior and his crew came through for us. The bottom line is this. I will always highly recommend whomever to Labor Force Movers. Their Customer Service and professionalism is by far anyone's expectations, along with their quotes, which in my opinion were very competitive in regards to the larger moving companies. Junior and to everyone at Labor Force Movers, my wife and I thank you for all you've done for us. We wish you the very best in the future. The Sanchez Family

They took down my information and I got a call back from Garrett, who was very professional and was able to schedule a team of movers for 9 am this past Sunday. He took down my payment info, charged a $100 deposit, and told me he'd call to confirm 1-2 days before the move. The Friday before, he called me back to confirm whether we were still good for Sunday. I said yes and he said the movers would be there around 9 am, and that they'd call me up to an hour before that to let me know they were on their way. I wake up super early that Sunday, excited to finally be moving into my new place. 9 am came and went, but I heard nothing. Eventually I called back, had to give all of my information again (it was like they had no record of me anymore?), and they said I'd get a call back. About 20 minutes later, a man called me to let me know that "a couple of the movers" didn't show up (um, thanks for letting me know? Why did I have to call to hear this?) and that he was looking for replacements. As he was about to hang up on me, I said, "wait wait, can I get a time estimate please?" He said, "at least a couple of hours" and hung up. A couple of hours came and went and I heard nothing. I tried calling him back but he wouldn't take my call and never called back in response to my voicemails (I wasn't rude or anything). So I called Spry again, had to give all of my information once again, and they said they'd call back. Another hour went by, nothing. So finally I call AGAIN and leave another message. I let them know this was urgent, that I HAD to be out that day or I couldn't do my job the next day (I work from home and half of my stuff was at each place, and not in a usable state), and that this would have serious financial consequences for me. I finally hear back from a woman that I would later learn worked for a different moving company (so they must have contracted it out, but they were apparently happy to take credit for the other company because nobody informed me of this), and she got me taken care of. By this point it was almost the end of the day and I would have been absolutely screwed had I not called repeatedly and absolutely INSISTED that they honor their contract with me. Absolutely horrible experience. If you look at this company's reviews, you'll see that the positive ones are largely from YEARS ago, so that five star overall rating doesn't mean much anymore. However great they may have been 3-7 years in the past, this company will make your already stressful move an absolute nightmare today. I recommend looking elsewhere.
