Moves Made Easy

Revoked license? GOOD! They damaged my furniture/​appliances by shoving everything from the back to make it fit so they would not have to make two trips! Underestimated the time so they could charge extra. I had to re-​assemble furniture myself or pay big time for them to do it. Also had the nerve to hint around for a tip!

I am happy to inform you that these clowns have. had their business license revoked and are out of business! These hyaenas will no longer be allowed to prey on innocent customers and false advertising! No to mention they try the old bait and switch with their price quotes! They show up 4 hours late on a scheduled appointment and do not call until 30 mins after the scheduled time to move! Also their driver is guilty of hit and run on the job! I might expect to see these jerks get a job at the new events center here in Sacramento, after it is completed… as bookies behind the concessions counter and making patrons sick with their nasty filth, they have filthy company vehicles! Never trust a moving company who insists on cash, and gives you a pathetic story to sabe on the transaction fees on using M3-​M4 classification of money! It is just to limit your legal recourse as a consumer when you will eventually file a claim with your VISA, MASTERCARD, or AMEX, card for breach of contract!
According to a complaint I filed with the California Public Utilities Commission Safety & Enforcement Division, there license was revoked on May 15^th 2015! Good riddens! It makes it better for the hard working decent legitimate moving companies. and local businesses as well!

Mike is awesome. He and his guys did a great job moving my apartment twice. I’ll definitely use their services again.

I spoke with Mike from Moves Made Easy about our move from Galt up the hill to Camino California. He was very upfront, honest and professional from the start. Sent him pictures of what we needed moved and he gave me a quote over the phone. It turns out that our move was much bigger than he had originally anticipated. We ended up renting two more trucks at our own expense for the job but Mike stuck to his original quote although he may not have enjoyed it. Our movers, Tim and David were moving Machines. The job kicked all of our butts but they stayed in good spirits throughout the whole ordeal and worked well into the wee hours of the morning to get us into the new house. I would not hesitate to refer friends and family to this company. Extremely reasonably priced and very professional throughout. Thank you very much Mike, Tim and David!

I would never use this company again nor would I recommend it to anybody I like.
THE GOOD:
— Movers were very friendly and polite.
— Movers wrapped all requested items and took good care of those items. We had no damaged furniture.
THE BAD:
— Movers showed up 45 minutes late
— Owner Mike assured repeatedly there were no extra charges for drive time. The movers made a one-​way trip from Roseville to Lincoln… a 10 minute drive, maybe 15 minutes in a truck. Heck let’s call it 20 minutes for fun. We were charged ONE HOUR for driving time. The initial quote from Mike advised the flat rate fee includes «drive-​time» and made no mention of extending that time randomly at the whim of the driver. Extending the drive time from 15 minutes to one hour is tantamount to dishonest business practices.
— Owner Mike assured us of «no hidden fees.» Semantics maybe, but I’ll let you be the judge. When all is said and done we were told the only method of payment was CASH or a card over the phone with a 5% extra charge. Since we don’t have $ 543 in cash laying around we got stuck with a 5% «hidden fee.» PS– no checks.
— We had about 6 – 7 friends/​family helping with the move. Our folks easily cut the move time in ½ using their own trucks and trailers. A guy from our group helped disconnect and carry all the appliances and heavy items which I was hoping the professional movers would handle.
— Toward the end of the move it felt as though the movers were either tired or intentionally going slow to add billing hours. Folding blankets instead of unloading the truck. Either way it was frustrating and expensive.
Long story short, without this moving company I ‘d be about $ 400 richer (minus the cost of the uhaul) and have completed the move in the same time frame if not quicker.

Great service! Mike is very professional and my movers were very polite, fast, efficient and took great care of all my items. I recommend using their services on your next move!

We recently used Moves Made Easy for our move from Folsom to Granite Bay. It was a stressful move – downsizing and leaving our home of 12 years – but the moving guys made it easier than we could have imagined. They were on time, professional, careful with our things, and so cheerful. Joked with each other good-​naturedly, never stumped by a doorway or stairway, even moved our piano easily. And because they were so efficient, they finished in less time than originally estimated – so the entire move was $ 250 under budget. We were so grateful. And would recommend this company whole-​heartedly to other customers. Thank you!

We had a short move from an apt. to house (2.5 miles) I understand scheduling bumps can happen, but when our move was scheduled to be the «last of the day» I did not think it would literally be the end of the day (movers arrived at 8:30 and with our help of moving/​unloading boxes, etc. finally finished unloading at 11:20 PM)
I had specified that we needed to be out of the apartment before dark in two emails and also on the phone.
When I spoke to Mike at 3 he gave an ETA of 5 PM. No one had come by 6:30 so I contacted him again and he said due to the delay we would be compensated. We are still waiting to hear what the compensation will be after almost 3 weeks after the completion of the move.
The 2 movers were friendly and careful. They completed this move without breaking or losing anything, but were so exhausted since they had been doing moves since 6 A.M. that day.

I thought I had already done this, so my apologies to the crew! This review is for my move last August, and unfortunately I don’t remember the two guys’ names now. However… AUGUST. They moved all my heavy furniture and a few dozen boxes — out of a two-​story duplex, up to a 3^rd story townhome. The two young men worked their tails off, were completely professional and more than courteous. They wrapped all my wood furniture with nice blankets, and everything arrived in the same condition I packed it. I was their last job of the day in the worst part of the heat — but not a complaint, not a cuss, just worked as hard as they could until the job was done.
Thanks again Mike & Crew!

We recently used their Services to pack and move from Sacramento to our new house in San Jose. 3 weeks prior to our move, Mike (the owner) came to our place in Sacramento to understand our needs and provided us a «Not to Exceed Quote» for Packing and Moving services. He answered all our questions in detail and volunteered information about our rights! And his Quote was so much better than the big moving companies that we had talked to earlier.
On the day of the move, his team (Pete and Tommy) showed up in time with their truck and all the movers equipment. They diligently packed up our stuff and at 2PM — after we were done loading the Truck started the journey to San Jose.
The unloading of furniture/​boxes and their placement in our house was finally done at 7:15PM — which was exactly what Mike had predicted.
Most of all his crew members Pete and Tommy were very efficient, professional and pleasant. They took great care while loading and unloading our furniture and made sure that nothing was nicked or damaged.
We are very pleased with the move and feel very confident in recommending them as your Movers of Choice…

Moves Made Easy is the one who will really make move easy.
I moved from Sacramento to Fremont and booked them just a day before. The owner was pretty clear on all aspects of moving plus he assured lot of small things about how they calculate time. One of previous reviews had mentioned the uncertainty about time calculation, but in my case this owner made that point clear in advance. Offered 10% cash discount.
Most amazing part that he agreed to take my assignment without any hesitation even it was just next day. Also, he offered me best moving rate out of ⁵⁄₆ movers I approached.
Pros:
— quick staff
— they know their job well
— good care of delicate items
— good on time calculation
Cons:
— didn’t find any serious flaw
Definitely recommend them for moving assignments.

I have never hired a moving company so maybe some of the negatives I experienced are common when hiring movers.
PRO’s: When I called I spoke with the owner who was more than helpful and even went as far as to rent a truck for the day of my move as they were already booked. The price per hour is cheaper than any other price I was quoted from other companies and it included everything! They wrap your furniture and one of our movers was professional and seemed to be working as fast as he possibly could.
CON’s: when I hired the movers I was told that I could use the movers for a specific time allotment; ie: have them pack in as much furniture as they could and get it unloaded within a time frame and anything left over we could do ourselves. This is not what happened. The first 30 minutes were spent going over paperwork and parking the truck. We kept reminding our movers of our time frame and they kept assuring us not to worry. I even asked them not to move the boxes since we had other help and just wanted the heavy furniture and appliances moved. It was almost as if we were being ignored, at one point the guy told me the max they would go over was one hour and they wouldn’t charge more than that. In the end they went over 2 full hours and charged us the full amount. They loaded boxes before furniture and moved stuff that we kept telling them to skip. In fairness, the other mover did not look like he had ever moved a piece of furniture and needed to be told how to do everything from wrapping to loading the truck. If we had 2 experienced movers then I think they probably could have gotten the job done a lot faster. The inexperienced mover also took a big chunk out of the wall and when he was maneuvering stuff. When we brought this to their attention they promised to come back and fix it before we had to be completely out of our rental. They never came back or called and when my husband tried to call the cellphone number the guy left it was disconnected. So, in the end we were out an extra $ 150 from the move and are still waiting to see what will be taken off our deposit from our landlord for the wall.

We moved from one apartment to another within the same building. The movers — Thomas and Jack — were professional, efficient, careful, and friendly.
Also, it was really easy to schedule the move and the rates were much more affordable than some of the places we had called in the Sacramento area.
The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I had to call 3 – 4 times to request written (email) confirmation before I finally got written confirmation. Other than that, our experience was great.

I moved back in January, in the rain. Everything went fine, nothing broken, they seemed to care more about my furniture than I did. I will definitely be hiring them again in the future.

During one six year period I moved 9 times. Goes without saying anything else — I have LOTS of experience with hiring moving services. I’ve hired guys off of Craigslist and I have used national moving companies. Mike’s crew members: Noah, Jazz, and Chris were clean, polite, and professional. They arrived on time and completed my moves efficiently with no damage. No slackers here!!! Moves Made Easy is properly licensed and insured which is extremely important to the consumer because it can save you from getting sued by uninsured movers months afterward.
Their prices are reasonable and service excellent. You won’t find a better value anywhere else in the Sacramento/​Placer region.

I have nothing but great things to say about this moving company. Chris and Dave were quick, professional and efficient. Everything that were moved from my home were intact. Nothing broke. They even went above and beyond from uninstalling my appliances at the old home and reinstalling them at my new place. They even reassembled my master bedroom set (ie. bed, dresser w/​mirror, etc) all together at my new place. I would rehire these hard working gentlemen at any given time.
The quote I got from this company were far better than some of the other highly rated movers in the Sacramento region. Overall, considering moving my entire home of 1500 sq ft into a near 1900 sq ft in 4 hours for under $ 400 was totally worth it. You won’t have to deal with hidden and misc. fees if you’re thinking of hiring this particular moving company.
Thank you!

The good news: scheduling was easy and service flexible. Genial employees.
The bad news: breakage – 2 lamps, damage to 2 pcs. of furniture, even a chunk chipped out of particle board bookcase. Moving 600 sq. ft. cost $ 315.

I have hired this company twice.
The first time was a move between downtown locations… the second time was a much larger move from EDH to East Sac.
This company is beyond professional. They show up on time, they move fast and they went the extra distance to
protect my belongings and home.
Fair pricing and a modest fuel surcharge to travel from Roseville.
No BS double drive time charges.
In an industry crowded with shady characters… these guys are a breath of fresh air.

Isabelle was awesome during scheduling.

Isabel, Mike and Mike. YOU GUYS ROCK!
These guys are real pros, had me moved out of my house in Roseville and unpacked in my apartment in Downtown in 4 hours. I had a lot of stuff too. They were professional, quick, on time, and went the extra mile for me. I don’t plan on moving again anytime soon, but if I did I wouldn’t call anyone else.
