    Kept calling me over and over. I couldn't reach Erika or anyone I had spoken to before.

    Worst Nightmare! This company presents itself as professional, takes your deposit, and once they have your furniture demands a much higher price! I had communicated thoroughly and clearly. Sent pictures of all items. Counted boxes, gave the final count and got a final price from Erika. Today the movers (5 men) arrived at my house, loaded everything into their truck that already had someone else's items in the back, and called me. They said that instead of my move costing the original $2967, or the updated $3604, it was going to be over $6000. "Will" with his extremely strong Hispanic accent, wanted me to ok this or he was going to unload my stuff back into the house. With it being the end of the month they may have thought that I was under pressure to move out right away. Nope. I had already agreed to pay the month of February rent, so I told them to unload it. Id rather find new movers who have integrity and do what they say they're going to do, and don't try to hold their clients personal items hostage. They didn't put my belongings back into the house, but left them out in my garage to the rats and exposure to weather.

    First of all, pre-sales pitch was okay. Then you entrust them with everything. Before realizing that this company doesn't really care about your things. Whether everything is delivered or not. When you call them back to ask for receipt after money is given they'll promise to call you back and take care of your concern. But that's gonna take forever. Sometimes they answer your call, and voila! They're talking to somebody from another phone for their next client. Three boxes didn't arrive. They said they still have it in their possession. They don't know when to deliver it.

    I cannot say enough horrible things about our experience with Bison Relocation. We reached out after seeing an ad on Facebook. The initial quote was given after we went over everything in the house to be moved. We added a few things to the estimate a few days before moving day and the estimate was adequately adjusted. We were told that the crew would disassemble all furniture, TV's etc and wrap and load and would then unload and reassemble at our new home. I On moving day 6 guys showed up, one clearly in charge and 5 other workers. They began to disassemble and wrap everything. One worker had his music blaring on his phone while he sang along. Several of the workers only spoke Spanish, they had no clue that I also speak Spanish and they 'joked' and made disparaging remarks about my husband as they packed up our house (my husband does not speak Spanish and I did not tell him what they were saying until they were gone because I didn't need him confronting them). After everything was moved out of the house and onto the driveway the guy in charge came in and asked us to step outside. Half of our stuff was on the truck, many things still remained to be loaded, all of which were on our inventory list. He told us that we had reached our limit and anything further loaded on the truck would cost extra. Of course we needed all of our stuff, washer/dryer etc so we did the only thing we could do and told him to load it. After they finished loading he informed us that we owed an EXTRA $3,000 for going over our estimated space. Again, every single thing they hauled was on our inventory list prior to moving day. They know they have you by the short hairs because you need you stuff and have not made any arrangements for a Uhaul or other form of transport because we hired them to move all of our stuff. He then told us they would be leaving that same day, delivery was marked ASAP, it would be hauled in the truck they loaded it on and no other customers would have stuff on that truck. Fast forward to the day he said it would arrive, we called the moving company since we hadn't heard anything and were advised it would be another 5-6 days before our stuff arrived. We waited a couple days and called again, dispatch had the driver call us directly to answer our question of arrival date, he said he was in New Mexico and wouldn't arrive for 3-4 more days. He also informed us he was in an 18 wheeler (our stuff was originally loaded onto a 32' truck and we were told that's what it would stay and what it would be delivered in). Another lie. The driver told us it didn't look like we could handle a semi delivery to our home without blocking the road (not many people can if you live in a neighborhood) however we had no idea the delivery would be in a semi. The driver told us that if he couldn't pull up to the house it would be an additional $1000 for them to rent a smaller truck, move our things to that truck and deliver it. We told them we would not be paying any additional money, he would have to block the road and unload at our driveway. When he finally arrived he VERY begrudgingly blocked the road and unloaded along with 3 other guys. There had been an add placed on Craigslist giving our address looking for help to unload and those were the helpers that arrived. They brought things inside and assembled some things but the driver refused to reassemble several items even though we were told the price included reassembly at the new home. All the knobs on our washer AND dryer were broken off and both machines unusable. Our roll top desk was caved in and would no longer roll open. They stripped the screws on our bed frame during disassembly, every box I have unpacked so far has had something broken in it. Too many things broken to list here. The driver spoke to everyone very aggressively and made snide comments about the helpers and the State we live in. He had me write down the things I had seen that were broken and was discouraging me from marking all of the items that were broken saying that I have a better chance of my claim being processed if I only put the most important items down. He said that the people that packed up our home were just 'telling us what we wanted to hear' when asked why they weren't reassembling all items as agreed. He refused to take away the cardboard and plastic the company had used to wrap our furniture. There are just so many things I could go on and on. If you value your items and your money DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They are clearly running a racket and out to grab money from families who are in a tough spot knowing they need all of their stuff hauled and unable to make other arrangements on moving day.

    The police got involved so we can get our stuff off the truck.

    Don't be scammed by this company, the price more than doubled from the initial quote. The gentleman in charge added a $3500 cancellation fee to the signed contract after my daughter signed it and tried to say it was done before. The photos speak for themselves. It is though they think they have you by the balls because you're moving that you'll just sign it and pay the extra they quote you. He also called me crazy because he didn't know my name. I was not mean or crazy. He needs some Jesus in his life!

    See all

Not only was I screamed at by one of the staff members (who clearly gets off on power-tripping), but they also locked me out of my fully paid unit with no notice whatsoever. I showed up to move my belongings and found the code had been changed. No call, no email--just locked out of my own property. Let's be clear: I paid for that unit. I don't care if all I had in there was a cotton ball--it was mine. And someone else was given access or it was reassigned without my permission. Completely unethical. Access is granted at random times, nothing is consistent, and it's definitely not what's advertised. This person picks and chooses who gets in and when. It's unprofessional, sketchy, and flat-out disrespectful. And the fact that U-Haul as a franchise allows smucks like this to represent their brand? Honestly pathetic. It's a terrible look and bad for business. I will never rent a U-Haul truck or storage unit again. I'd rather lick a doorknob at a COVID motel than give this company another dime. Save yourself the headache. Go anywhere else

Thank you so much Ross and crew!! I HIGHLY recommend Roadway Moving! The experience with Roadway started off great! They were attentive, and the personal care for our move was so nice. We loved our movers and they took amazing care of our belongings! UNTIL... the moving truck hit the gate at my boyfriends apartment building. At first they were great about it. Someone reached out and took all the information, reached out to the management company of the building etc. The management company sent a quote to Roadway for the damage, and we thought everything was in the works, and all would be taken care of. Well, its been over a month since our move, and after MANY emails, texts and phone calls we have not heard a PEEP from Roadway. This is unbelievably unprofessional, frustrating, and SO disappointing after the move itself was such a great experience. I am writing this review to hopefully get the attention of someone at Roadway, and get this taken care of immediately. Understandably the building wants to get this fixed, and supposedly someone from Roadway is suppose to come and asses the damage...but we have never heard from anyone. They are holding my boyfriends security deposit, and now I am afraid that if they get it fixed without roadways physical assessment of the damage, that roadway won't cover the damages at all and we will get stuck paying for it. THIS SUCKS. Time to step up Roadway! ....and step up they did! Great customer service!

She made the company sound organized, reliable, and worth the price. Unfortunately, what followed did not reflect that impression. Although the company presents itself as a California-based operation with its own fleet, our belongings were transported more than 2,000 miles in what appeared to be a standard rental truck with a trailer attached. Our suitcases were placed loose in the open back of the truck exposed to dirt, weather, and potential theft. They were not transported in a secured moving vehicle, and by the time everything arrived in Florida, several items were dirty and damaged. The delivery process was especially frustrating. My husband was pressured into helping unload everything, yet they still expected a tip afterward, but he did most of the heavy lifting.We were also charged extra to have our items brought to our door, even though the truck could have parked directly in front of the building. The driver simply chose not to because it was inconvenient. We had missing and damaged items, including lamp parts, table legs, and a damaged KitchenAid due to careless handling. While the pickup crew in California was professional, the delivery team was disorganized and rushed. To make things worse, we were told at the last minute that our building supposedly didn't allow Saturday deliveries. The driver said our belongings could either be left on the side of the road or placed into storage at our expense...even though we paid for door to door delivery and were never informed of any restrictions and this is a very long move as is. This was not an inexpensive service, and the experience did not come close to matching the promises made during the sales process. When a company positions itself as premium, the gap between what is sold and what is delivered becomes impossible to ignore especially when they try to charge you extra for every step of the way. I wish my experience had been different, but unfortunately, it wasn't.

From the start, they took the time to walk through our home and clearly ask about everything we wanted to move so they could mentally map out how to load the truck efficiently. They were extremely diligent with protection, using blankets and/or shrink wrap on all furniture and electronics, and they were very by the book when it came to reviewing the contract and confirming details. I especially appreciated that they checked all electronics before and after the move and even had me climb into the truck at the end to verify that nothing had been left behind. The move‑in was just as smooth. We had labeled certain items to go to one level and others to another, and they followed those directions perfectly, with everything ending up exactly where it was supposed to, with no damage and no confusion. Their organization and care were obvious in every box/container they carried and every piece of furniture they placed. Moving is usually a very stressful experience, but Fito and the Pure Moving team made it feel manageable and even reassuring. I found them to be excellent in every way, and I would highly recommend both the company and this specific crew to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful, and professional help on moving day.
