The crew complained the whole time about how I lived on the third floor. They said they should charge extra for each flight of stairs. Made me feel guilty for no reason.

The movers handled pickup and storage overnight without any mix-ups. My guitars, dishes, and framed artwork were all intact and clearly labeled. They followed instructions exactly and didn't rush any part of the job.

This was my first time hiring movers, and I wasn't sure what to expect. I had a mix of old furniture, heavy boxes, and random things I hadn't packed very well. The team showed up ready and made everything seem simple. They were friendly, professional, and clearly experienced. I was surprised at how quickly it all came together. Would definitely call them again next time I move.

Even though relocating is never easy, this crew made it look effortless. They arrived at the scheduled time, wearing matching navy-blue shirts and name tags, just as promised. My glass coffee table was carefully wrapped with plastic and heavy blankets before being loaded onto the truck. They provided small rubber floor protectors to safeguard my hardwood floors from damage.

This was a small move, just a studio apartment, but they treated it with the same care as a full house. Every box was handled gently, and the team double-checked room placement during unloading. In case we ever move again, we wouldn’t hesitate to hire them!

They took extra care with our large boxes by using a dolly, checking labels twice, and even pausing to ask questions. They clearly cared about getting the job done right, rather than rushing through it.

They packed up my art studio and moved all of the fragile materials, including easels and sculptures. Nothing broke since they packed everything so carefully, even though I was somewhat nervous. Specialized objects are no problem for these movers.

Smooth Move People movers helped us relocate my home and my small home office, and I appreciated that they separated the office gear like I asked. Monitors and cables were wrapped individually, and they confirmed which items were priority for the unload. The delivery was on time and everything arrived in perfect shape. Very satisfied!

I was moving after a rough layoff and trying to downsize my life quickly. It wasn’t the happiest reason for a move, and I was honestly not in the best headspace. The crew kept things light, stayed focused, and even handled the pile of last-minute stuff I didn’t get to. Their kindness made a huge difference!

Moving from one house to another is often a challenging experience. From the moment we met the office staff until we said goodbye to the movers, our moving experience was outstanding. Highly recommended.

They expertly packed every single item in my small house containing antique valuables. The delivery of my carved mirror occurred without any damage to its surface structure or material composition.

Moving day anxiety is nothing new for me, but this time seemed different. Incredibly methodical, serene, and reassuring, the team was. Because they packed the truck impeccably, nothing shifted throughout transportation.

The movers took a moment to inquire about everything before transporting it. They were very careful to place heavy objects where I needed them and delicate things where they belonged. That kind of care sets them apart from other companies I have worked with.

These men handled my move exceptionally well despite the numerous books, large furniture, and fragile items involved. They provided extra bubble wrap and blankets that were beneficial for my glass-topped dining table. They carefully loaded everything into their vehicle, ensuring that nothing shifted during transport, which greatly pleased me.

I recently moved to a new house and was concerned about transporting my antique furniture. But Smooth Move People team wrapped each piece meticulously and used protective padding to prevent any damage. They even helped me arrange the furniture for free after delivery. I couldn’t be more thrilled with my experience!

They were reliable and quick to respond whenever I had a query. Their response times whenever I contacted them regarding an issue were lightning fast, and they always had a solution or suggestion that helped. They expertly and swiftly relocated all of my belongings, taking great care to avoid damaging a single item. Great job, everyone!

The team was amazing—they came in and packed up everything, including my kitchen and bedroom, in just a few hours. Even with the short notice, they didn’t rush through anything. Everything made it to my new place safe and sound, and they helped me unpack a few boxes. They saved me a ton of stress!

Smooth Move People truly lives up to its name and my first experience with their movers was enough to convince me about it. Right from the get-go, their movers were professional and serious about the job. They worked twice as hard and didn’t take any breaks. My move wrapped up on schedule and my coordinator gave me a very transparent breakdown of the cost too. Would absolutely hire theirs movers again!
