It turned out very well and they were very effective. They cleaned up after themselves so that they left the residence move in ready. They had all their equipment with them and were very efficient. I paid them additional money to schedule out the entire day for me - they were here 8 hours. They did an excellent job. I didn't have to watch them at all.
Description of Work: I bought a big deal for $111 for $299 worth of Professional Moving Services, Packing Material, or Storage!

Description of Work: "Unfortunately, this was the worst experience I have ever had with a service provider. At point of Sale, Neil (Sales guy)gave me all the reasons on why I should go with Rainbow Movers and how all other moving companies shouldn't be trusted. A quick summary on why they deserve an F. | |1) The estimate didn't arrive until late the night before my scheduled move and was not consistent with what I was sold. I had confirmed multiple times via phone and email that I understood what and how I would be charged to ensure that there were no surprises. |2) Movers showed up 26 hours - yes, hours - late. The new home owners had to wait in driveway. |3) Billing process for storage was shady at best. Invoices didn't have company letter head and changed location and phone numbers. Also, they did NOT honor the Angie's list coupon I purchased. $111 for $299 of moving/storage. |4)After finally getting a moving date (after almost a dozen calls), movers arrived on requested date. |5)Driver back up without utilizing proper procedures and ripped the hood of my mothers SUV. When I called corporate, they told me to send an email. They are still giving us run around on resolution. | |Head office has been difficult to work with during and throughout entire process on all of above concerns. With the exception of Melissa and the actual movers (very nice and hardworking), I have not had a good experience with anyone else with this company. Overall, this was the worst customer experience I have had -- mostly based on the lack of urgency and transparency from the headquarters and their total lack of service recovery. We are still trying to get a straight answer on the insurance for the damage done to my mother's car. | |Please think twice before you utilize this company (use multiple names... Rainbow Movers, Florida Storage and White Lion -- all sold under Rainbow Movers). Unfortunately, this was my first time to use Angie's List and utilized their A rating as part of my selection process in conjunction with the Rainbow Mover's sales process. Very disappointed. "

Service provider quoted me a higher price per hour after finding out I had already purchased a Big Deal. This quoted price was actually higher with the Big Deal purchase than other companies with no coupon/ Big Deal at all. I am a super packer and all we need is a company to load boxes and furniture and unload them 2 miles away, and we don't need them for a 5 hour minimum.

Description of Work: My contacts with this company was fine and very good. It was just that my neighbors came over to help me and then I had no need for this company,s service. So I would like to get a refund on this purchase. I did let the company know in a timely manner that I would not be needing their services.

Description of Work: I was contacted by Mike of Rainbow Movers. Mike spent a great deal of time touting the quality of Rainbow's Services. He mentioned that the Summer was his busiest season, and the end of July was the busiest part of the busiest season. We discussed my pending moves consolidating my two small offices into one new location. Mike mentioned that his company uses several different vendors for publishing their coupons. I described the two big deal coupons on Angie's List for $99 each ($299 of moving services for $99). I specifically asked if I could use each of the coupons for the two different locations and he confirmed it wouldn't be a problem. We set a date of 7-30-13 (a Tuesday) as the move date and he indicated that I would receive a detailed e-mail confirmation. I never received any such confirmation, but Mike called 4 days prior to the move (i.e. Saturday before the move) informing me that I wouldn't be able to use both coupons on the same day. Understanding that using both coupons on the same day might be considered a stretch, I consented to using just one and eliminating one of the office locations. At this point he informed me that there was a $1000 (or 5 hour) minimum during the Summertime. There was no mention of this in either his original Angie's List ad or our initial telephone conversation. At this point I decided that these WERE NOT THE TYPE OF PEOPLE I WANTED TO DEAL WITH!! Mike informed me that I could apply for a refund from Angie's List. I've done so, but needless to say arranging alternate services just 2 business days prior to the move was challenging.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!! Before the move, I spoke to three different people: The main sales guy, who assured me how fast and efficient their movers are (they're not!). I then spoke to another lady to confirm details, she then told me they were going to need to send an additional man out (which costs more money). Lastly, I spoke to another main to confirm the move once again. This time he told me the rate would be $10 an hour more than we were originally quoted. I argued this and he informed me this was the price when a coupon was being used. Yes, they were going to charge me a higher hourly rate because I had a coupon! I should have seen all of this as red flags, but I pursued with the move anyway. We were very efficient with our packing and had most of our things contained within 2 main rooms in order to make the move go quicker. As I'm sitting with my newborn and my toddler watching these guys move our things, I'm noticing they were often on their cell phones texting or whatever they were doing. They also refilled their water bottles about 20 times putting their dirty hands in my ice maker (which I didn't appreciate). The loading process took a VERY long time. Unloading was equally as sloppy. I noticed them almost drop our things several times, and take several more calls. Then they were in our kitchen getting more ice and water. They were even slower with the unloading process, especially since these "movers" would bring in one box at a time, so at that point my husband and I (2 weeks out from having a baby) decided to help unload the truck. I feel like they were taking an unreasonably slow amount of time in order to take several more hours and therefore, charge more money. I set up the move and signed the agreement paperwork, but since I was unavailable, my husband paid them and noted the damage to our furniture. I notice that he overpaid and was not given a receipt. I immediately called and emailed customer service and asked for a copy of the receipt and a status of our damage report. I was told it would take 5 business days. After 8 business days I called and emailed again. I was then told that they can't locate my paperwork or any of my information. I have since emailed them two more times and still have not gotten a response from them. We made the mistake of paying with a check in order to save the service charge added on when using a credit card. And I now highly regret that choice as I can't dispute this charge. I will update as soon as I get a resolution from these people. I would highly recommend that you DO NOT USE this company and their services.
Description of Work: Provided moving services for a 3/2 home on a Monday. I was overcharged and had damaged furniture and now can't get a response from the company.

I reserved them with an email for the move. I just needed them to move stuff from the box truck into my house. I received an email confirming my appointment and price: $28/hour/man and $20 for gas. My correspondence was between myself and one of the moving coordinators in the company and we had arranged this for July 5th. At the last minute, while we were driving from Indiana, they called to confirm and said $40/hour/man and a minimum of $495 cash. They told me this was because it was technically a holiday. This just seemed like a scam! The person I talked with earlier should have known the pricing for that day and any legitimate company should accept check or credit card. I found them to be extremely unprofessional and decided to use another company.

I spoke with a woman when I first called to schedule a move. On my next call to confirm, I spoke with Lief in the office and he was rude to begin with. I called the office again to confirm they have my phone number and spoke with Richard and he was also very rude. I wanted to make sure they had my phone number to call when they are en route and he said sometimes they will call, sometimes they won't. All of the information I was given the day before had completely changed. They never sent the information I requested via email, when they said they would. I have since canceled the move with their company.

I cancelled both services with them, I have never been treated like that by a company and do NOT recommend them. This is exactly what gives moving companies a bad reputation, preying on people in need. Don't worry, boys, my husband and I unloaded that 26' truck by OURSELVES and saved our money!!! Also, a word to the small businesses out there: You may want to brush up on your customer service skills. No customer service? NO CUSTOMERS.
Description of Work: BAIT & SWITCH. I had purchased 2 of there coupons for $299 worth of moving services for $111. One for 6-20 and the other for 7-1. We received a voice mail message the evening before they were to arrive to unload a 26' Uhaul truck we were driving from Atlanta to Sorrento. The phone message was from "Dispatch", he didn't leave a name, and said that we had to call right away about our move. I called them back and was told that they have a 5 hour minimum, and if I still wanted them to come out, the price would be $575, not $111! I told him that I didn't need 5 hours, that's why I purchased their coupon for 2 hours of work for $111. He told me Angie's list was wrong and if we wanted their help, we'd have to pay the extra money. I told him that that's not what I purchased. He was EXTREMELY rude, screaming at me over the phone and insisting we pay for 5 hours of work if we want their help. I told him that this was a Bait & Switch, taking advantage of people needing help and changing the price at the last moment. This company is so unprofessional, I was in shock. After riding 8 hours in a truck, I was in no mood to put up with their crap.

They were supposed to be here at 8am tomorrow. Today they called at 3pm to tell me they’re not coming. They offered to come next week. When I first made the appointment they said I could have them for three hours for $299 and they even told me now that it’s going to be more expensive.

Valrico Movers/ Rainbow Movers of Valrico were very professional and nice. They made sure they explained everything about how their company works and what we would need to do on our end. They went above and beyond to satisfy my needs... They guided me threw the whole process & made sure my every expectation was met. They gave me a price based on my list of items and they only charged for any extra boxes or material that they would be using (if necessary). The crew that came to move our stuff was great. They worked hard and did it with a smile. All our things arrived to our new home safely. The guys came in and put all the furniture together and even had patience while my wife made up her mind as to where she wanted to place the couch A great experience with a great company. Thank you for a job well done.
Description of Work: They provided a moving quote over the phone for a full packing, loading, wrapping, unloading, and arrangement of my furniture. Also provided me with a piano moving quote.

After using them for my move, I am very much sure that these movers are capable of managing all kind of moves. They not only dealt with our valuable items (pool table and large art work) they also didn?t break ANYTHING!!!! I was very happy with the way they managed the entire move. It is refreshing to know that moving doesn?t have to be an agonizing process. We had high expectations from them and they fully delivered everything they promised.
Description of Work: Rainbow Movers moved me from Orlando, Fl to Wilton Manors FL. They had me in their storage facilities for over 2 years and always went above and beyond to assist me with all of my requests. Recently I needed to move to South Florida and all it took was one phone call to get everything arranged.
