Reviews of Speedy Movers

Disappointed; Do Your Research.

Pick-up was early and I had no choice about it, as they require a 2-day window. So I slept in an empty apt on an air mattress for 2 days. They are very shady about how they determine square footage. It's not based on what you have, but on the "markings on the truck walls". I ended up paying over 24k for a studio apt and only two large peices of furniture and a bike. I have the feeling it will never be what they tell you on the phone. As for delivery, I had no work from the my driver until 2 days before. The customer service insisted I call him directly on his cell, which he didn't answer the first day with no voicemail set up. They said their customers apprecaited it that way.. Wow.. On delivery day, he was 90 min late and didn't bother to call. He said he had a flat tire. He overcharged me for being over 75 ft from the truck, but never wrote it down on any paperwork so I'ma guessing that was his "cut". I was exhausted enough not to protest much. At least one thing they delivered wasn't mine, and another box (at least) is missing. They wait until the end for you to sign the inventory, so it's very rushed. My floor lamp, chest of drawers, and (only) two diing chairs are ruined. I'm still digging through to see what else is missing or broken. Not a good experience. I wish I'd done my homework. .

Lost a futon, brokered out movement, scammers.

Beware of these jackoffs. They come to you pretending to me honest ex-marines, and then once you sign any paperwork end up screwing you and your possesions over entirely. Not only did they lose my futon but also a box of irreplacable World War 2 items from my great grandfather. I sincerely hope they go out of business so no one else can be ruined by them. A message to you Speedy Movers --- you are the scum of the Earth.

Speedymen movers.

We hired Speedymen to move our piano in September 2016, they said that they were qualified and accepted the job with no hesitation. Well a couple of real winners showed up with no straps, no blankets and only a 2x4 frame on casters to move the piano. They stood it right up on end and made their way through the house and out the front door. They tried to 1, 2, 3 giver off of the top step of the stoop, (no straps or any anything but their little 2x4 creeper) well the guy on the bottom just ended up standing there with the creeper in his hands and the piano landed sideways on the concrete. (KABONG!) They acted like it was no big deal, an every day occurrence pretty much and "the company will take care of it" they said. No apologies and off they went. Well it's been 5 months now, the piano is in a wood smith"s shop with $1100 of damage that Speedymen won't approve for repair. They won't answer their phones most of the time and if they do they give us the same story of trying to get approval to offer a settlement and they'll call us back but never do. The wood smith (they hired) is frustrated and want's it out of his small 1 manshop and we want our piano back or one equivalent. Just because they have some sort of contract and insurance limit does not mean that they should be able to send out a couple of dummies completely unprepared and clearly untrained for the job ahead of them, throw someones property off the top step and avoid taking care of the damaged. NEVER EVERY HIRE SPEEDYMEN, they won't take care of you!! I wish I could give them 0 stars.

Speedy Movers Horrible.

This was the worst company I have ever dealt with and provided the worst moving experience I've ever had, and I have moved many times. I entrusted them with my furniture and unfortunately some treasured photos and letters. The salesman lied to me to get my business and had left or been fired by the time my stuff was supposed to be delivered. After making numerous calls and sending faxes and being on hold for hours, I was told that my furniture was on its way--nearly a month late. They gave the wrong trailer to the driver who had my account information, so my things were still back in California. When the delivery was finally made, the driver said he didn't want to drive his truck into my condo complex (there was plenty of room) and wouldn't deliver my belongings unless I paid him an extra $300 cash (I had been assured that delivery of furniture into my place was part of the contract). This company had lost a couch, a futon, a reclining chair, damaged lamps, and lost treasured photos going back to my childhood. The salesman had told me that his company had its own equipment, but it only has trailers and has to contract with god knows who to haul it with their tractors. The truck in which my stuff was delivered was in such disarray that the driver couldn't find where most of the stuff was. He was horrible and the company was horrible. And their offer to reimburse me for my thousands of dollars in losses (plus the furniture I had to rent because they were a month late)..$74. Don't ever use SPEEDY MOVERS. They are dishonest and disorganized.

Do Not Hire This Vile Company!!

Speedy Movers is a scam company. Unfortunately for me, I found out too late that they exhibit all the hallmark signs of the "bait and switch" scheme commonly used by fraudulent movers. Speedy Movers' profitability is due entirely to the deliberate deception of customers, and in the process causing untold hardship and misery. You can read countless stories on moving review websites of the abuse people have suffered at the hands of Speedy Movers. The circumstances of each case vary, but at the core their MO is the same with all of their customers. First they quote you a low price and agree your terms. They pick up your stuff and without your knowledge pile on fraudulent charges. Then they hold your possessions hostage until you pay the ransom, and finally, they refuse to answer your calls. Speedy Movers operates under a number of different company names, which makes it easier for them to avoid scrutiny and accountability. I've listed the names of these companies at the end of my review. They all operate in the same calculated, abusive way. I hired Speedy Movers to transport my mother's possessions after she passed away. There were two destinations, one in Washington and the other in California. I chose this company because the quote they gave me was far lower than other companies, and because they agreed to accommodate my requirements for the move. At this point I had no reason to suspect that my long hellish nightmare with Speedy Movers was about to unfold. The ordeal began the day before the move when I received a call from Daniel, the supervisor of the sales department. He said they would have to add a "location fee" of $1500 because my mother's home in Durango, CO was in a "remote location". When I protested, he became rude, overbearing and intimidating. I had paid a…

Do Not Use Speedy Movers!!

I wrote a review a few minutes ago, but unfortunately, I listed them as moving us from Oklahoma, when they in fact moved us from Northwest Arkansas. Here is the review that is STILL true in every way: First, it was that we were paying based on weight, which we were fine on. Then they jacked the price up $1600 because we went 300ish over our allotted 1000 cubic feet, which NO ONE explained to us when we decided to go with them. Then, they take our stuff all the way to Dallas so that we had to pay extra fuel surcharge. Then, they don't send us our stuff until a week later, and want the remainder of the balance in cash, which is kinda shady to me. Then the driver leaves, and we find out that we are NOT receiving everything we should receive per the contract, because the loaders ended up being hourly and were paid for 4 hours, period. Doesn't matter that they aren't upholding the reassembly part of the contract. Speedy Movers cares only about one thing, and that is money. They made extra money on us by misrepresenting the quote by ONLY pounds, extra fuel charges, and paying the driver and unloaders as little as possible, not caring whether our stuff all makes it in and is put back together. We ended up paying $5780 for nothing but bull crap. That was nice of the unpackers to stay an extra 45 minutes to help us put together our bed. That left them unable, unfortunately, to get everything on the porch inside, and they definitely didn't have time to assemble the fish tank stand, kids' beds, futon, or the kitchen table. Also, somehow, now we r gonna hafta get our 70" screen TV onto the tv stand, and carry the 200+ pound gun safe upstairs by ourselves. I'm just over them. Speedy Movers will NEVER get any feedback from me, except for telling people to NOT use them because they…

Dishonest and cheat.

Previous reviews were right. First time using a moving company and probably will be the last time using one, because of the experience. Got my things picked up on June 3rd and still don't have anything as of today. I keep calling to find out where it is and keep getting the same answer over and over again. It has not even left for delivery yet. How are people supposed to live like that. It's like they're stealing your stuff and holding it hostage. I would highly recommend not using this company because they are unreliable in every way. Not worth spending the money here. Just do it yourself.

Damaged, stolen items, don't use this company.

I have moved allot in my life and this is the worst moving company I have ever used. Their business is barring on fraudelant, and from start to finish all they did was lie to me. They quoted my move at $930, even though I told them that my sofa and recliner were pretty big. When the movers came, they told me the cost would be $1300. They told me my items would be delivered 2-12 days from the earliest availabe date. I told the movers and the customer service reps multiple times that because I work, I would require more than 24 hours notice from the truck driver that he was coming to deliver my things. They said that shouldn't be a problem and that deliveries could be done at night. Of-course, they lied. The driver called me and said he would be their the next morning. When I told him I had a job, he was rude and told me "i have a job too" (yea his job is to deliver my stuff). And the company told me that if I made him wait, they would charge me $150/hr. So of-course I had to get my friends to help me out and be there so the driver could drop the stuff off. When he did finally arrive, the boxes were damaged and torn, and low and behold, MY SOFA WAS NOT THERE. The driver nor the moving company, when I called them, knew where it was. They told me that they would be in touch with me within 48 hours to tell me where my sofa was. Its been 5 days now and no call. THIS COMPANY IS HORRIBLE, THE PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR IT ARE THIEVES, AND THE PEOPLE WHO RUN IT ARE LIARS. DON'T EVER USE THEM EVEN IF YOU THINK YOUR GETTING A GODO DEAL, YOU ARE NOT!!

OKC to Utah Move.

Started off on a bad note, I underestimated my square footage, make sure you complete the online pre-inventory accurately, my 900 sq feet was 1900 sq feet. I will accept partial responsibility for that. What really disappointed me was the shape my boxes were in every box was smashed, rubbermaid totes were cracked and broken, I have moved all over the world in the military and I have never seen a disaster like this most of the boxes looked like they were kicked down ten miles of bad road by the time they reached thier final destination. They got the speedy part right stuff was on time but between pickup and delivery who knows what went on, these guys did not pay any attention to fragile/ glass markings on boxes, a rubbermaid tote full of dishes glassware fell off the truck upon unloading smashed and destroyed most of the contents. I went with them because they seemed to be a little higher end quality business but 6500 dollars later all I got was a lot of heartache. Should have rented a truck and done it myself. Avoid them like the plague. I am not one to write scathing reviews, I am a live and let live, understanding person, but there was negligence on speedy movers part regarding the care of my belongings. .
