Island King Movers & Services

Booked a month ahead… they took our money and didn’t show up for two days. We had to hire another mover and pay for an additional day of our moving truck. We ended up paying $ 600 for a $ 225 move.

Booked weeks in advance and paid for the full service. On our moving days, no show two days in a row and stopped answering my phone call.

Willy and Rocky are good guys and excellent movers. They were very efficient, not wasting a minute — they were very careful with our furniture and our walls and doors, to the delight of my wife. They were very flexible, seeming not to mind at all when we kept changing our minds about where to put things. We really enjoyed having them help us for a couple of hours. We will hire them again in another month or so when our son moves.

Super fast and incredibly friendly service. William had 2 guys at my home with in a couple of hours to give me a quote to clear out my garage for me, I was blown away at how fast they showed up and were ready to do the job right away. Certainly fell the aloha spirit from Willy and all the guys he has helping him out, I felt like part of the family as soon as they showed up. Thank you so much Willy and I.K.S.

We moved on 7÷3÷15 during 90+ degree weather. The amazing crew we had (3 guys) worked above and beyond in the extreme heat for just about 7 hours! They did an awesome job, were extremely personable and we would recommend them to everyone as well as use them again if the need arose.
Thank you for the exceptional service we received!

Hired them for cleaning service in October. Owner– complete dick. Several things he told me on the phone were not completed (spot removal from carpet, single story window washing) and they were several hours late to a scheduled appointment. When I called to ask him to come finish the spot cleaning he avoided my calls and then blocked my number. Trashy business, lazy owner. Would not recommend to an enemy. Do not use this company of you want a good quality cleaning service.

I am thrilled that I was referred to Island King Services. I had to move at a moments notice and everyone knows that moving itself is a lot of work. Island King Services was available 3 days prior to move out date and came with quick and attentive team. They moved my whole house inside and out, family of five, quickly with no damage. For there price you truly get the most of your dollar. Great job, keep up the great work.

I called 3 weeks in advance to make an appointment for these guys to move me into my new house. No confirmation call came so I called them the night before to confirm myself. The guy who answered the phone said his computer system was down but he would make sure someone still came out for me the next day. Cool.
My appointment time is 8 – 10 the next morning. I’m sitting there packed and ready and realize I have some time to kill so I want to run to the store. Nervous the movers will show up and I won’t be home, I call to get an ETA. Phone goes to voicemail. Well that’s awkward. Call again. Still voicemail. I decide to hang out at my place just in case. No one is showing up. Did they forget? I call again. Goes right to voicemail.
At this point I decide to try to maybe google an alternate contact for them. Nothing different comes up, but I do find some information saying they don’t have their own truck and you need to rent your own. What??? Seriously?! I was never told this! I have to rent my own effing truck?! Awesome.
Try and call them again to ask wtf. Still going to voicemail. I take a deep breath and try to relax, call again a little later. Phone is ringing! Yes, it’s on! Oh Jk, just got forwarded to voicemail.
10:15, they show up. Hi! We’re here to move you. Sorry we missed all your calls. Where’s the moving truck? Oh, you didn’t know you were supposed to get your own? No one told you? Ok. Sorry. I kindly tell them I don’t need their services anymore and they leave.
Now don’t get me wrong. I get that stuff happens. I do! I’m understanding. There are a lot of things we can’t control. But there are two things that they could have. First, answer your freaking phone during business hours or at LEAST always have it turned on. And second, maybe mention to someone moving a two bedroom house that they’re going to need to get their own moving truck.

We had a great experience. They called to confirm a day in advance and called to let us know they were headed to our location the day of. They arrived on time and did a great job.
They were friendly, efficient and personable. Our items made it safely in one piece from one place to another.
They were a good value and I would recommend them and use them again.
The only thing you need to know is that you have your own truck and they do the rest.

This moving company did not show up the day we scheduled them, after two hours of trying to get ahold of them to figure out if they were coming they responded by saying that the other job was taking too long and they wouldn’t be able to make it that day but could come early the next. The next day they were 2 hours late, and then left with damage to the walls that were pretty bad. They didn’t mention the damage nor make concession in the price for not being able to make it the first day and being very tardy the next.
Not only would I not recommend this moving company I would warn people that they are not professional and leave damage more costly than they are to hire.

Used these guys for a move and these guys where the best bang for the buck. Very fair price and they did a great job. They exceeded my expectations for what I wanted done and would use them again. Actually I am writing this review because I am using them again for another service.

Worst moving experience ever!!! The guys that showered up to move us were all very young and had little experience from what I saw… Because the crew they sent lacked experience our move too double the time and I was made to pay more… If I rejected paying them more my stuff would’ve just sat in the moving truck so I felt I had no choice… The crew was careless about my items which lead to many items breaking/​being scratched/​dented/​etc… One item they broke I requested they fix because the mover didn’t listen when myself and another mover from island kings told him not to move it that way… He then tried to cover it up so I wouldn’t see it, but I saw it happen so I called him out on it… The head guys in the company drag their feet, take the money and run… They give promises and take forever (6 weeks) to follow through… They also requested to speak with my husband… I learned they did this because they thought having a man to talk to would help them not have to fix anything… Wrong! My husband was more upset than me! Also, their crew smokes like crazy! It’s gross and I don’t like them unloading my things, smoking and leaving their butts all over my property and the street… Super gross and disrespectful… I’d be very careful if you decide to hire this company to help you move… It didn’t save me any money has we literally almost a 2 month head ache!!!
Update 9÷6÷14
I received a phone call from Willy the main guy in charge of moving (he was at my move for maybe 30 minutes) anyway, he calked after I posted this review and said he’d get me my invoice… And what do you know! I still haven’t received it and is one of many reasons I’d steer clear if hiring these guys, unless you want movers that don’t follow through with what they promise (unless you prompt them over and over and over again)… They’re just proving my point that they’re not professional at all!

I received a «compliment» that told me to tell the truth about this company… I the above is the truth… They also told me that the first company I hired couldn’t finish the job so I called Island King… That’s false! I never called them to schedule my move… They were called by the company I hired first… Then the accepted the job without seeing it… Sent a bunch of young kids that were unprepared (no wrap, tools, hand trucks, ropes) there pants were even below their butts which showed their undies off… Which is extremely unethical… So, don’t harass me please… I have wrote the truth!

I was moving a piano and several boxes with china and crystal. Island King Services carefully protected my piano and moved it from one location to it’s new home. They were extremely careful with my fragile belongings. I can’t say enough about these guys! There were a few minutes early and arrived prepared with supplies and ready to work. They made moving easy! I will call them again and highly recommend their services to anyone needing movers.

I can’t say enough about these guys. Recently used their moving services and coming from someone who has moved over 10+ times both with movers and without movers, these guys are bar none. They are absolutely phenomenal and to top it off, shockingly reasonably priced. In the moving service industry, far too many companies are either outrageously priced or have movers who aren’t productive and too lax. These guys were neither. We were moving from a two bedroom apartment into a house and with only two guys, it took them less than 3 hours to both load and unload our belongings. If that weren’t impressive enough, the whole time they took only ONE break! Incredible, absolutely incredible. Non-​stop workers are hard to come across these days and I was/​am truly appreciative. I don’t plan to move again any time soon but if I do, they will DEFINITELY be the first people I call. I plan to use their cleaning services sometime in the near future, and if they are anything like the movers, I’m anticipating to once again be overwhelmingly satisfied. They are as good as advertised.

I’ve had to move twice in the past couple of years-​was fortunate to call Island King to check out rates… I’d been given quotes of $ 500. and $ 600 from other moving services but got the best quote from Island King.
Last weekend, due to the rain and some moves that turned out to take longer for the movers, we changed my move from Saturday to Sunday and Vickie, the organizer of the crew (which is made up of family members) promised me 3 guys for the price of 2.
These guys work hard. My total bill for moving a 2 bedroom apartment and garage full of boxes that were in storage was less than $ 300.00.
One of the things I like best about these guys is that they KNOW HOW TO PACK A TRUCK!!! I’ve had movers who haven’t a clue hot to efficiently pack a truck to gain the ultimate space. Island King keeps one guy in the truck and 20r 3 of them hauling boxes out to him. VERY effective!
They are efficient, fun to be around and know how to hustle. I recommend them to friends who are moving and would give them 10 stars if it was available for efficiency and a reasonable price.
They respond best by email–

I have used Island King Movers multiple times and will continue to use them. These guys are no nonsense hard workers. They are respectful and reliable!

These guys were great! I *think* their names were William and Rudy Jr. They showed up on time, and they worked their butts off for my entire move. They were honest and fair with the amount of hours they billed me too.
I was all alone getting this move done, and let’s just say this whole moving stuff really isn’t any kind of fun when you’re doing this by yourself as a woman. I couldn’t even leave the house to go grab food, and the two brothers that came out were so kind as to bring me a hamburger. It was a small gesture, but it was very much appreciated since I hadn’t eaten all day. They also had one of their wives run to Home Depot to get some rope for me, and they only charged me the exact amount for the rope. I’m sure other folks would’ve charged me for the price of sending her on her errands. They even showed up a few times to help wrap a couple of fragile items, and they didn’t charge me for that.
They were careful and cautious in getting our stuff moved. We didn’t have one thing that was damaged. The guy who was packing up our box truck had some seriously *mad* Tetris skills. I don’t know how they did it, but they managed to get everything we needed to into that truck. I stressed that it was really important to me to fit everything in there since I was just renting the truck for the one trip, and I couldn’t afford a second trip. They were there for probably 8 hours or so, and they really worked it. I highly recommend them!

First crew they sent was great. Fast, smart, punctual. The rates were decent. Then after a few weeks they changed cleaners without telling me. The second crew was a total disaster — they put my wooden serving trays and cutting board in the dishwasher and cleaned with windows with something that left them all streakey.
When I asked the manager if I could have the first crew back she said that they were booked. Very frustrating, since I took the time off work to orient the first crew to the specifics of my house only to have them switched out on me with no notice.

I had the opposite experience with Island King. We hired them for a simple unload because they said they had insurance. Well the Bozos gouged and scratched my furniture and dented my new dryer. I attempted to put in a claim but got the delay tactic. They took the money and ran. Not a sound business philosophy IMHO.

Okay, these guys rocked. They were super easy to schedule with, worked fast, were EXTREMELY affordable, and really seemed to care about not hurting my stuff or the homes I was moving out of and into. Highly recommended and should I move again (God forbid), I’ll most definitely use them.
