"I really appreciate you letting us know how we did on your move recently. One of the points we stress in our Master Movers Program is exactly what you said..."treat our customers' belongings as if they were your own". I'm glad to hear they did just that! Congratulations on your move. Sincerely, Steve Lambert, COO Leaders Moving & Storage Co."

I originally contacted Leaders on a Thursday for a move that I thought had to take place the following day.  They were able to accommodate my tight schedule.  Due to a delay at my mother's assisted living facility, the move had to be postponed a day, which was a Saturday.  Although Saturdays are busy days for movers, Leaders was still able to accommodate the one-day delay and the tight schedule.  The movers arrived within the promised two-hour window.  They were very friendly, courteous, professional, and respectful to the residents of the assisted living facility.  This was the second time we used Leaders as a mover, and I would not hesitate to do so again.
Response from Leaders Moving & Storage Co of Columbus
"It was truly our pleasure to be able to handle the inner-move for your mother at her assisted living facility. We certainly realize even the best plans have to be flexible from time to time, especially when it comes to moving! I'm glad we were able to accommodate your mother and the facility and everything went smooth. Moving can be stressful, even when moving within the same location. Leaders appreciates you giving us the opportunity and trusting us to handle the move for your mother. If we there is anything else we can do for her...or for you, please do not hesitate to give us a call. Thank you, Steve Lambert, COO Leaders Moving & Storage Co."

They did a terrible job. They packed about half of our stuff. They did not pack our dishes and other items. They said they would be back the next day. I had to go back myself and pack everything.  They also did not put my daughters bed together. I was so unhappy with them and I asked for some of the money back and they refused.
Response from Leaders Moving & Storage Co of Columbus
"I am very sorry to hear that you were not happy with your move that we completed for you seven (7) months ago (July 2014). Leaders Moving & Storage takes great pride in making sure our services and business practices are at the highest standards in the industry. It is unfortunate we did not meet your expectations in this case. I did take the opportunity to follow up with the crew and salesperson regarding your move to find out what may have caused an unfavorable impression of the move process. It appears that there may have been some misunderstanding on the items to be moved. As you know, we are one of the few moving companies that provides an exact price move guarantee. Any changes to the inventoried items we sent you prior to the move would have changed the move price up or down. As we move the pre-determined items we mark them off on our contract and then have the client sign off verifying everything was completed as originally agreed upon. I looked back at the original quote that was emailed to you back on June 19, 2014 and the price did not change from the copy you signed off on upon the completion of the move. If any items that were to be packed or moved were not completed, then the inventory would have reflected that. I do know that the original plan was that you were going to move/pack a lot of the the items that were not included on the inventory yourself (downsizing from a home to a condo). There were specific instructions that we were given as far as what rooms and what items you wished for us to pack/move and the packing services were charged accordingly. I apologize if there was some confusion about that process as we are always more than happy to add or delete items per the customers' request. If items were deleted the charges would be reduced and reflected on the final invoice you would have signed; however if items were added, the crew foreman would have informed you there would be an additional charge and would have called the office prior to moving and provided you with the exact price at that time and to confirm that you still wished for the items to be moved. I do not see any notes in the system indicating that we adjusted the inventory from the original quote. I do see that we provided you with wardrobes for your clothes and did not charge you for these (noted on your original contract). The last item to address is regarding the fact that the movers had to come back the second day to finish. This move was always scheduled to be a two (2) day move from the start. Anytime we provide packing services, we will typically complete those on the first day along with prepping the house...then begin the move on the second day. This was the case with your move. Again, if this was not clearly communicated to you during the quote process, I sincerely apologize. I regret that this explanation will not change your perception of your past move. Please know that I am sincere when I say that I would be more than open to discussing this (or any) concern(s) with you further directly. Sincerely, Steve Lambert, COO Leaders Moving & Storage Co."

"Thank you very much for taking the time to provide us back feedback and review our services. As you have found out recently when shopping for a mover, Leaders is one of the few companies that will provide you with an exact price quote guarantee...it is really what sets us apart from the other moving companies. The way we look at it, you should be able to get a price that won't change unless the amount of items being moved changes! We just feel it's the right way to do business and have for over 21 years. Again, we truly appreciate your feedback and very pleased everything went well with your move. If we can ever be of help again in the future, please do not hesitate to give us a call. All the Best! Steve Lambert, COO Leaders Moving & Storage Co."

We interviewed several companies and decided to go with Leader's because of recommendations from friends and responsiveness.  We moved from our home and put most of our property into storage, and then moved the items out of storage and into our new home 5 months later.  On moving out day, we were informed that not enough storage crates we made because things were really busy.  So our items were moved from our home to the truck then into the storage facility until the crates were fabricated, then moved into the storage crates and finally from the storage crates into our new home.  Everything seemed to go well until our move-in to our new home day.  We had several items that needed repaired and 1 particular item that seemed to present the biggest concern, a collectible table.  We consider ourselves reasonable people and were very patient with "the process".  That said, the lack of professionalism and respect from Tony Pace about pushed us over the edge.  There was poor communication, he talked down to us, fabricated stories, didn't follow up with emails, blamed us for the poor communication, did not research items appropriately, wasted our time, did not escalate through leadership at our request which made us doubt his sincerity and desire to resolve this claim.  It felt as though he wanted to drag this out as long as possible and maybe we would drop the claim and he would benefit in some way.  It wasn't until we mentioned seeking legal counsel, reporting negatively on Angie's List and filing a claim with the BBB that he escalated things.  This did seem to start the process moving again and at that time we requested no further communication with Tony Pace.  Yet another assessment of the property was performed by a claim representative from an outside company.  Since that time, we were awaiting someone from Leader's to contact us regarding finalizing the claim.  Then to our surprise, a final check was mailed to us and signed by...drum roll....Tony Pace, who was not to be part of our claim any further.  We are planning on calling to understand our rights and warranty documentation promised by the outside repair company.  We hope to put this all to rest soon.
That said, the actual move seemed to go smoothly and we would have rated them highly.  Things happen, things get broken...it is the nature of the business, but the breakdown in communication, lack of professionalism, disrespect and slow resolution will forever tarnished our opinion of Leaders.  We will NOT recommend this company to anyone for these reasons.  We wouldn't want anyone to deal with this considering there are other moving choices in town.
Response from Leaders Moving & Storage Co of Columbus
"It is true that the claims process did fall short in minimizing the burden to the client and was not as expedient as it should have been. We are deeply sorry for the errors that have occurred and are pleased that the issues brought forth have been addressed and resolved. We have corrected the claims presented and provided the warranty information mentioned. We are proud to have received 14 Angie’s List Super Service Awards and 20 years of A+ ratings with the BBB. Although rare, there are times we do not achieve the results we strive for. In these cases, as in this instance, we acknowledge our shortcomings and take great efforts to correct our mistakes.

I filled out an initial email form to contact the company.  They called me back immediately and scheduled a free in home estimate ot the moving cost.  The employee who did the estimate was prompt, efficient and professional.  The actual cost of the move was slightly less than the estimate.
On moving day, the employees were also prompt, efficient and professional.  They moved the contents of my home with no damage to the homes or my belongings.  They worked from 9am to 6:30pm to get the job done. 
I was also able to buy packing boxes from the company (which they buy back for 80 cents on the dollar) plus packing paper and tape.

It was a wonderful experience from start to finish.  They arrived promptly on time and walked through a review of the inventory to be moved, going over everything thoroughly with great explanation.  The three movers, Henry, Tom, and Randy were courteous, respectful and friendly and made us feel confident that our property would be handled with care.  They made sure that we were provided with a place to be at rest while they moved quickly to clear basement, first floor and second floor.  They went above and beyond at every step, asking questions when they weren't clear about our intentions of what was to be moved and where it was to
go.  When the truck arrived at our new residence, they continued to move with the same energy and thoughtfulness that they displayed at the beginning.  We were amazed at the service level and grateful that we had chosen Leaders.  We would recommend them highly to any who asked.

We wish you and your family the very best. All the best, Steve Lambert, COO Leaders Moving Company"

They were fast on the job. They worked very hard. There were no surprises and they did everything they were supposed to do. There were 5-6 people doing the work. I had no problems with scheduling an appointment.  They took a lot of care with our stuff and laid down blankets so they did not track mud into the new home.

We were very pleased.  The scheduling over the phone was very easy.  My wife gave descriptions of what we wanted moved and they gave a quote and scheduled it.  We liked the set/fixed price they quoted vs an hourly charge.  Leaders was also the cheapest of the three quotes we got.  Two guys showed up on moving day and were extremely polite, professional, careful and efficient.  They couldn't have been better.  They had our best interest in mind and did whatever we asked, with no hesitations or questions.  They laid moving pads down in all doorways and common walk areas and padded all doorways they had to move big furniture through.  We would definitely use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone, without hesitation.

First I scheduled the move with Grace.  She was helpful and easy to work with. 

Then the crew of movers arrived the day of the move.  They were on time.  There were four men and two trucks.

They were all nice to work with and were really quick.  They worked really hard.  There was one item broken that was important to me that I suggested duct taping before moving it but they didn't.  Well it broke.

My problem is that the company said that they would happily correct the problem.  I spoke to Brian multiple times asking him to correct the problem and Tony probably two times.   I sent photos of the broken item to the furniture company that they use.  The furniture company said they won't be able to fix it.   I also sent them to Brian.   After this Brian said multiple times they would resolve the problem by fixing it or replacing it.  It has been over a month since this all started.  I was VERY nice every time I talked to Tony or Brian and the last time I called Brian I felt like he was jerking me around and not going to remedy the problem.  He said he'd have someone call me.

No one has called.  

I'd just like my piece of furniture fixed.

Overall, Grace was easy to schedule the move with, the movers were nice enough and hard working, but trying to get the issue of my broken furniture resolved has been a nightmare that they will clearly not fix.  For this reason I would NOT recommend Leaders.


Response from Leaders Moving & Storage Co of Columbus
"Dear [member name removed] I am very sorry to hear that the issue with your piece of furniture did not get resolved timely. I will have someone reach out to you promptly to resolve this for you. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience and look forward to making thing right for you. Sincerely, Steve Lambert, COO Leaders Moving & Storage"
