All I can say is DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY…read more THEY NO SHOWED AND CANCELLED ON ME VIA TEXT AFTER 9 HOURS OF WAITING AND MULTIPLE GUARANTEES THEY WOULD BE COMING. I found InstaMove through Thumbtack on 12/16 to prepare for a last minute move from Austin to NYC. I just needed labor to load my truck. I had previously used Texas Elite Moving but they required a 2 hour minimum + destination fee and I knew this wouldn't take that long. InstaMove has a one hour minimum so I (regretfully) went with them. Stephanie was easy to work with and quickly booked my appointment via text since I was flying all day. I called that evening when I realized in my rush I had accidentally said 23rd instead of 22nd and Stephanie checked the schedule, confirmed availability for 9:30 am on 12/22 and updated my reservation. On the morning of 12/22 I texted Stephanie around 7 am as I had received no confirmation. Around 8:30 am, Stephanie confirmed the movers were running on time for 9:30 am. Great! We had been hustling night and day to be ready for them and had 400 miles to drive that day and needed to get in the road. By 9:45 am I hadn't seen a mover show up nor gotten any contact. I texted the number I had and she said she'd look into it. 15 minutes went by and no update and I reached out again. I was told there was a clerical error and they're sorting out now. About 30 minutes after my initial text, a manager called me. He explained they had FORGOTTEN MY APPOINTMENT when setting up the trucks for the next day and so the movers had already gone onto the next job. He reassured me, excessively, that they would absolutely have a truck there for me at 2 pm. No doubt about it. Around 30 minutes later, I'd been calling every other mover in Austin but finding someone ASAP on the Sunday before Christmas isn't exactly easy. I asked Stephanie to confirm there will 100% be someone there at 2, as the person who called me had, and she called the movers to confirm. Now suddenly 2 wasn't going to happen. I'm annoyed that no one has been proactively communicating ANYTHING. But they're still promising someone will be showing up, just late in the day. Again--no proactive updates. Around 1:25, a few hours later, I text to get an update on timeline. Stephanie gives me the owners number and tells me to call him. I do--and he rejects the call. Thinking it might be an accident, I call again. He rejects the call. I send a perfectly reasonable text AND THE OWNER IGNORED IT. Like, I'm sorry??? What?? Your company is costing me a day off work, an entire day of truck rental time, a (at this time) 6 hour late start in my move and a TON OF STRESS on a move your team confirmed that morning and YOU CANT REPLY TO A TEXT MESSAGE. It's so ridiculously unprofessional you shouldn't even be a company with that. I let Stephanie the office person know and she continues working on it. While I'd prefer more proactive communication, at least Stephanie consistently replied. Now Stephanie can't even get a hold of the moving team and they're not answering her calls. Again, super unprofessional of their movers to be ignoring their front office. At this point, seeing the writing on the wall, I scramble to find some neighbors who need some holiday cash to help load my truck. I haven't unloaded it so who knows if having to use non professional movers means my tv is broken or who knows what else. But I didn't have ANY options because Instamovr spent all day GUARANTEEING they'd show up only to text me around 4 pm saying they weren't going to show up and not even offering another time slot for the next day. I ended up taking 3 hours with neighbors what should've taken an hour with professional movers. Also, in the middle of all of this, I realized they disabled their thumbtack account. Yes, broken furniture etc is terrible. But no showing a client after promising all day they'd 100% show up is the worst that can happen. And what's worse is the owner wouldn't even acknowledge me when he completely ruined my move. That's completely unforgivable and you shouldn't be in business acting like this. You cost me hundreds of dollars and hours of time and stress and the owner couldn't even apologize himself. The only fix for this business is to close. Don't use them, don't think the negative reviews won't happen to you.

I moved on July 20th and it is November 9th. I still don't have my piano. Here's what happened:…read more On the day of my move, I texted Nate and asked if it was ok to add my old upright piano to the load. He called me and I described it to him. He approved it saying that I could add anything because they charge by the hour. This was very different from other movers, so I was really happy about that. When the movers arrived, it turned out to be his 18 or 19 year old son and another young man who looked to be slightly older. They worked very hard and efficiently - they did a great job. But when it came time to move the piano, they were having some difficulty moving it because of its weight. The did the right thing and called Nate, who came right away to help. All three of them practically broke their backs getting the piano outside of the house. Then Nate reassured me that all was well and he left. He told me later that he didn't help load the piano onto the truck, and he didn't make sure his son secured it properly with more than one strap. He thought to remind them, but he didn't. And then he gave them the green light to move my piano up two flights of stairs to my apartment without providing them with the proper manpower and equipment. That just totally blows my mind! By the time they arrived at the apartment, the two kids found that the piano had snapped the restraint and had been seriously damaged. Nate's son called him and told him what happened - Nate was furious at him, of course. But I felt sorry for the kid, because he was just a kid. He had no experience with this. Nate was responsible for his training and follow through. Nate knew how heavy it was. There was no excuse. And prior to leaving my house, Nate's son had gotten a call from the next scheduled move - I heard him say he was running behind. Nate knew about this, too. Nate had clearly overburdened his son, made one poor judgement after the other, and just wasn't committed to doing things right. At my apartment when the damage was discovered, I spoke to Nate on the phone and he reassured me that he would bring it to his house and have it repaired immediately. He told me that he didn't want to file an insurance claim, but would pay for it out of pocket. He said he would take it out of his son's check... smh.. Here's what happened after that: 1) I have had to reach out to him for updates - he has never once bothered to contact me to let me know how things are going. I have had to seek updates from him. I haven't harassed him at all, 2) In one response, he said he had put about a thousand into the piano for repairs and asked me to be patient as he got enough money to re-key and tune the piano. I expressed understanding but still pressed him for its return. I asked him to keep in touch with me. He hasn't. That was the last time I heard from him - it was September 21st. 3) On that date, he admitted that he should've filed an insurance claim, but it was too late by the time he realized it. Now I was at the mercy of his pocketbook. 4) I have reached out to him 3 times since September 21st with no response. The third time, I explained that my partner and I are both musicians with a home business and we rely on that piano for income, especially during the holidays. He made no reply. I'm not a malicious person. I'm not a hard nose, though my partner told me I should've been more demanding when the damage was discovered. It's possible that Nate would've done the right thing if I was belligerent toward him, I don't know. Bottom line, I trusted him at his word. My next steps: I thought I'd start here with Yelp - at least this would warn others not to trust this man with their property. Reporting him to the Better Business Bureau will follow and then potentially small claims court. And it sucks because he's a nice guy, and had good intentions - but nice doesn't equal good judgement and character. You have to have both when you're dealing with caring for other people's possessions.

Unicorn Moving handled an extremely difficult downsizing and extraction move for me with…read moreprofessionalism, patience, and exceptional care. This was not a simple apartment move. I was transitioning from a temporary RV living situation, consolidating storage units, downsizing years of accumulated belongings, and moving into a 1BR apartment. The storage units had been packed tightly by previous movers and required careful staging and decision-making during the move itself. The crew worked methodically, blanket-wrapped furniture, pointed out and documented pre-existing marks before loading, and handled difficult maneuvering with impressive skill. They even opened boxes during the process so I could decide in real time what should move, stay, or be repacked. Nothing felt rushed or careless. I had already done substantial prep work to reduce clutter and create access paths, which helped the process, but the team still completed what was conservatively estimated as a 7-hour job in under 5 hours. They assembled the bed, staged furniture, laid rugs, and helped make the apartment immediately functional. Most importantly, they treated both the belongings and the customer with respect throughout the entire process. Communication was excellent, attitudes stayed positive, and they clearly cared about doing the job right. I tipped them well because they earned it. Ironically, I found Unicorn Moving through ChatGPT while searching specifically for movers experienced with senior downsizing and complicated transitions -- and the recommendation turned out to be exactly right.
