Our move from St. Louis to Ypsilanti, MI in August 2025 was a mixed bag. Hard to say if I would…read morerecommend them. We did 90% of the packing ourselves. The positives include: 1. A thorough review of the contents to be moved versus the cursory review by competitors. 2.A competitive price. 3.Our things were moved in dedicated trucks and not mixed in with other people's stuff. 4. Honestly about damages: a table literally fell apart during packing and the crew pointed it out to me rather than concealing it. 5. No high pressure sales tactics. 6. The guys were patient with my wife repositioning furniture at the destination. 7. Nothing was broken although we had quite a few minor dings in furniture. 8. Crews showed up on time at both ends of the trip. Negatives include: 1.No formal acknowledgement of payment. They were almost offensively anxious to get the final payment even though the third and final truck had not arrived. 2. Loss of focus at the end of the day: We did a walkthrough at the end of the loading process. Every time we found something that needed to go into the truck, the guy leading the walkthrough took it out, chatted with the guys on the truck, and then we would lose our place. This resulted in a few things being left behind. At delivery, the guys took down a door to get furniture into the basement but never put it up again. They also left a moving blanket and personal items belonging to one of the guys. The items were eventually restored to their owner. 3. Not mentioning messes or problems. After the truck left I found that one of our toilets was plugged with toilet paper, paper towels, and human waste from someone that was apparently ill. Fortunately, I found the problem and was able to unplug the toilet and clean things up so this mess was not left for our cleaning crew. I think I would have responded calmly to this if I had been told about it. I can appreciate that it would have been embarrassing to report this to me. I'm human too.

Absolutely terrible movers.

The broke numerous items, one of the four movers quit midway through the first day and wasn't replaced, adding to the total hours. Two of them were on their first day and had no idea how to pack. A single saucer had two feet of paper wrapping. They added things from different rooms to boxes, so a toaster in the box with the bedding, etc. They broke two things, gouged the stairs, stole a bottle of pain killers, asked if they could have one of our personal items, and left a bunch of stuff at the old house we had to hire a separate hauler to move. Do not hire them--it was a complete disaster and mismanaged from beginning to end.

Two guys showed up with a huge truck; took about 2 hours to load and drove the 60+ miles to my new home. I explained that I would have to leave before they finished, so I could drive back to Dearborn in the daylight (eyesight issues). That's when it all fell apart. I went back the next day to find plastic wrap strewn around the house, leaves all over the inside of the house, items left wrapped, a dirty bathroom and smoke smell. I contacted Fordson, and was told a slew of lies the worker told him; He said I told them not to enter the garage, FALSE. He said he couldn't find anywhere to dispose of the plastic wrap - THERE WAS A GARBAGE CAN IN THE DRIVEWAY NEXT TO THEIR TRUCK, I was told they aren't responsible for cleaning up after the job. I told Fordson I felt taken advantage of, being alone and older, and that his employee was lying. They made no accommodation and essentially blew me off once they were paid. My Advise: WATCH THEM EVERY MINUTE and make sure a man is around. They will lie and cheat and take advantage of a single woman. BEWARE.

Amy gave me back my life. No more going to the store and buying something that I knew I already owned but couldn't find. No more frustration when trying to make a meal or find something to wear. It was very satisfying to remove all of the junk I didn't really need to move in the first place. When Amy says, "order is restored" , order is restored. We began working together 3 days a week 4 hours per day and continue to work for several months as my health permitted. When we made plans and I couldn't meet the commitment because of my health, Amy was always gracious about rescheduling. I cannot recommend her enough. We started small because I was rather overwhelmed, but it worked out so well. She even worked her magic on my refrigerator. The approximate cost of service provided is an hourly cost.

Absolutely the worst experience moving ever! Everything seemed great until they showed up. We had…read morephone calls, texts and even a walk through where John even took notes. We felt confident. Boy were we wrong! $15k down the drain. Everything became a complaint or an argument. We had picked them specifically because they said they would build a crate for the lathe and charged another $1000 to do it. On the day John argued he would not move it and had never agreed to. Much less build a crate for it. I ended up providing makeshift materials and show them how to safely move it. When it got here things were bent and broken. While getting boxes in the truck two of them kept pushing each other around like two little kids. They eventually dropped a bed frame on the hardwood floor and then one pretended to be hurt. We saw it. It never touched him but he screamed it broke his foot and was bleeding. Yet somehow he had no issues moving boxes. The same two guys kept pushing each other around until finally one was thrown right where a snow plow was being moved. The plow flipped over and narrowly missed his foot! I turned white. The truck they brought was not big enough. They had to go and offload it and return. That took them 4 hours. We had to walk behind them around the house because they would constantly not grab all the boxes from rooms but close the door and say it was all done. Always an argument ensued. Things like yard equipment, glass and awkwardly shaped things were taken separately on the truck. When these guys arrived they had two trucks and just 3 people. As they opened the truck I saw one of my generators sitting upside down! The lathe was loosely strapped to the side of the truck sitting on the same material I provided. Things on it were bent and broken from bouncing around. All the yard equipment and awkwardly shaped items were just stuck in tall garment boxes. Trim pieces from my truck I had just painted were scratched and rubbed through. Ruined. Boxes were crushed. The guy with the "broken foot" kept limping around. John hardly did anything. Boxes were placed any which way pretty much anywhere. We had to insist and argue for boxes to be taken where they belonged. Things that went into storage were just chucked in and boxes placed right at the entrance. It was a mess. We gave up on having the furniture put back together as we just wanted them to leave.

Even after we told them that it was fine were we originally had them place the piece, they continually asked if we were sure and more than willing to move it to another place.

I used White Star Movers today for my move from Clawson to Farmington Hills. For the most part, the…read moreonly things they needed to move were my furniture, such as my TV and TV cart, couch, mattress and accessories, etc. I'm surprised I didn't leave a review for them in 2016 when I moved from Troy to Clawson, but they did a good job then so I decided to hire them again this year. I did some research and although they are not the cheapest in the area, they are also not the most expensive. Pros: -Tazon (Tazin?) was our team leader today, and he and his moving partner were great. My walls at my old place and the walls at the new place all still look good. They were very efficient, the entire move only took about 2 hours. -White Star is very easy to contact via email or phone, I used both to communicate with them. Cons: -I was told that I could put my preference for an 11:00 a.m. move. On Friday, I was told I had been assigned the 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. slot. I had my mom call to see if we could secure 9:00 a.m. instead, and they agreed... Unfortunately today the moving crew showed up at 8:00 a.m. However, White Star agreed not to charge me for the 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. hour. -Something I didn't know is that the minimum you can reserve is three hours, they call it a 3-hour mini move. So even though the job only took two hours, I was billed for three. I was fine with that because that was the amount I had been quoted, but no one had mentioned it was a "mini move," so I thought that was careless on their part. Tazon/Tazin said that this happens a lot and sometimes he gets pushed back from customers about it, I definitely understood it was not their fault but corporate needs to communicate that with clients such as myself beforehand. -They do take credit cards but there is a 3% fee, so I opted to pay with a check instead. However, because the movers themselves were so great, this is still a four-star review from me instead of a three-star, and I would use White Star again.

Apparently, no one knew that the entire company would be busy moving someone long distance and not a single person or truck would be available for my mom, which is on a tuesday. I think it is poor practice and very unprofessional to go that long/that close to the scheduled move to cancel on someone. The only help they offered was to "possibly" be available to move us.... but its after we are scheduled to be out of the house. beware, they've ghosted previous customers (per other reviews), and they'll cancel your move and leave you stranded.

Patriot Moving Systems caught my attention so I called them to get more information. I talked with Dennis to get answers to my questions. He told me they are full service, meaning they will pack as well as move your household contents. You also have the option to do your own packing. One place I called pretty much only loads and moves your stuff so you have to do your own packing. Patriot sells boxes and packing materials but also suggested Home Depot or Lowe's but said he actually prefers and recommends getting these from U-Haul as he thinks theirs are better quality and sturdier. What I like is the way Dennis explained our options without overly promoting materials through Patriot. He also explained the rates for their services. Basically it is an hourly rate per person plus a trip charge and cost of the truck usage. He came out and walked through or house and then was able to give us a rough estimate of the number of hours we would likely need. We planned to use a staging company so we needed to pack some things to thin out certain areas like closets and kitchen countertops. So we arranged for Patriot to send out three people to box and move things into the garage for three hours and that was a big help. They were focused and hard working guys who went practically non-stop for the time scheduled. Whenever there was a question about packing certain items they asked about it. I could tell that they all knew what they were doing, their experience showed and they treated our things as if they were theirs. Delicate items were wrapped well for protection. Our move is currently on hold as we continue to pursue selling our home but Dennis checks in with me periodically to see how things are going. I will update this review once we actually complete our move but we know who we trust with packing and moving our property.
