KING CON: I booked King Moving Co. and Pamela McCarty of The McCarty Group, who at the recommendation of King co-owner Grant Fowler would provide "concierge" service to personally pack the art and collectibles, orchestrate the entire move, including King's packing, personally do all unpacking, and handle interior design and placement of all contents in the new home. Grant and Pam said they'd done more than 100 seamlessly successful moves together. Wow! And look at those great reviews to prove it! It was h***. Examples: Pam immediately tried to cut corners on the "turnkey" promise; bullied--ignored my instructions on handling art and banged framed pictures on tables and floor; imperiously told me "you can listen to that later" when I turned on a CD at the new home, pointing to her earphone, from which I could hear "Jesus"; despite my warning on what was clearly an assembled 6' book case, persisted in leaning it so precariously that it crashed to the floor, splintering an antique cherry end table; ignored the instructions and map to the reserved moving truck parking location at the new address and wasted an hour incommunicado with the crew while circling the building and questioning total strangers on the street, leaving her van with my valuables open and unlocked; spent a good hour every day criticizing the new home; shelved my 2,000+ books randomly, although I'd had her instruct the King guys to number each bookcase and shelf so the books would be placed correctly by subject; failed to finish the job, not surprising since she showed up solo as a kind of inflated would-be Superwoman, with no evidence of a McCarty GROUP; left without giving me a tour of where everything was; refused to take responsibility for any breakage or loss; and disappeared without a trace. (The self-proclaimed perfect packer had placed a variety of fine flatware and gourmet kitchen utensils at the bottom of a grocery sack containing unrelated, previously broken items I was considering having repaired, and which I almost threw out at the new home without seeing what was at the bottom. Ultimately all that was missing were eight very fine antique Gumps Double Old Fashioned glasses, two of a Gumps antique crystal compote set and two pieces of an antique English porcelain tea set. Tough luck!) For his part, Grant, whose contract required my payment of a 100% replacement/repair policy, denied any responsibility either, blaming everything on Pam, but offered to take care of a few other matters "because I'm a good guy," his constant refrain. (Pam and Grant are the only people I've ever met who incessantly sing their own praises. Note to self: That is a red flag!) He replaced a dozen lost tapped brass balls for the bed ($17) and a bathroom robe hook ($36) Pam had broken, sent out the broken end table and made an appointment for his crew to finish Pam's job by attaching six items to walls ($110). However, shortly before the team was supposed to arrive, he sent me a gag order to sign, or he'd cancel the work: " f. The Client and any other related parties agree to post or publish no reviews, posts, reposts, comments, responses or replies whatsoever concerning any matter explicitly or implicitly dealt with in this matter, or any matter concerning King Moving Co. LLC, on any website, social media platform, or any other public or private forum... "i. The Client agrees they shall not disclose any information contained in this settlement agreement and/or any information whatsoever related to this matter to any third parties for any reason." When I told Grant that his gag-order extortion apparently explains King's rave reviews, he went ballistic, texting me that he had to protect the company from "unscrupulous people like you!" Please note: He also charged 25% more than his estimate. That's another way to stiff the competition while screwing the customer! I told him I'd rather keep my First Amendment rights and self respect than sign his gag order, and have handled the damage myself. Moral: If reviews look too good to be true, they probably are.

Excellent work!

Excellently. It took 3 workers + 1 truck just 5 hours for the entire job. They were super careful and also wrapped and protected all furniture extremely well. They disassembled a 5-piece headboard-night stand-mirrors combo and reassembled it, including wiring for the lights.

The team of movers that did our move was absolutely amazing. They were polite, personable, and possibly the hardest working folks I've ever seen. I can't stress enough how good of a job they did. This was a move from a 2-story to another 2-story and it wouldn't have happened without their excellent service. I definitely recommend them!

Despite some logistics and equipment challenges, our movers were unfailingly courteous, professional and hard-working. When problems arose, the owners were immediately involved and personally worked to find a solution. Throughout the process, the communication with this company was some of the best I have ever seen. The move was finally completed under difficult weather conditions and all items arrived in perfect condition. I would highly recommend King Moving Company and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

Our recent moving experience with King Moving Co was fantastic. The crew was on-time, super friendly and accommodating, and worked quickly. They were very patient with us even when we changed our mind on where to put things. We really appreciated their hard work and positive attitudes. Moving is a very stressful event, but they made it a lot more enjoyable. I would highly recommend King Moving Co.

Move went great, they showed up on time and were careful with everything.

Team was fast and very professional.

Excellent.

"Miss communication at first with the amount of movers I ordered and the number they sent. But got it fixed and handled some what."

House Move

good service with attention to detail

Fantastic these guys are the bomb!!!! On time and beat there time and damaged nothing. They were more than capable and made sure we were happy!

We utilized King to move just a mile down the road. Carlos and team were very patient with us - we weren't the most organized. They disassembled our beds, computer desks, and entertainment center (and re-assembled at our new house). They worked VERY quickly - so they will not waste your time. At the same time, they are very careful with your items and do not damage your house(s). They were easy to understand and had great personalities to boot! We were so pleased with them that we hired them to come back to unload a UHaul of stuff that we had come in from out of town. (Joe's team)

On time and helpful.

All three men with King Moving Company were responsive, prepared, knowledgeable, organized, hard-working, careful with our belongings, friendly, and had great follow-up. Excellent moving company that we highly recommend and will use again!

GREAT. Excellent service, did a good job without supervision, very friendly. Will use on next move.

Easy and painless move. Carlos and his crew were very polite, professional, and worked hard all day with great attitudes.

I called King moving to setup the move, and it was surprisingly easy. They confirmed the move without taking a partial payment or sending me any contract in advance. I was worried if they would actually show up because I had no confirmation. The moving team did show up on the day of the move, and it was clear right away that they hire day labor to fill in the team. Most of them didn’t speak English, which doesn’t matter to me because I speak Spanish. I asked a couple of the guys if they were employees and they said no. Although they said they would wrap and protect furniture, they didn’t protect any of it while loading and unloading it. While they moved us very quickly, I would have liked it if they had slowed down and focused on not damaging things. Speaking of, they did damage our custom leather couch (Arhaus) with several tears and a hole as well. I’ve been trying to get them to make good on their insurance coverage and they’ve given me the run around for over a year. I’m still dealing with Greg, the owner now. The company is shady, they couldn’t even find my move details for two months when the guy I was working with on the claim (Cory) left the company. I would NEVER recommend using them to move anyone.

Very professional and efficient.

I contacted King about 10 days prior to our local move in North Dallas. I was provided with a cost ad what to expect on come day. They contacted me two days prior to reconfirm and stated the movers would call the morning of juts prior to leaving their location. On Friday 3.23.19 they called and said they would be over in a few minutes. They arrived on the agreed time I made 10 Days prior introduced their selves and reviewed the home we were moving out of and the items we planed to leave behind. Carlos, Zhair, and Lorenzo all form Belize were the team and I can assure you form doing five local moves these guys stayed focused the entire time loading a 3200 square foot home. we had some large furniture and some items we wished to avoid being damaged we made two trips great since it was only 1 mile away. I can report nothing damage and truly the most enjoyable group of guys ever to move our household items. Meeting and working with them not only showed the quality one can expect form King but also a feeling of how wonderful a vacation to Belize might be simply because how friendly they were throughout the entire move. Offering to preposition items more than once even ensuring the two sofas were positioned correctly on the carpet in our living area. You do not need to worry about moving with this Team of guys and with King Moving Company. We will call back on our next move.

Excellent! Called the day before to confirm schedule, showed up a few minutes early and were very professional and careful throughout the entire move. Would hire again!

Wow! What a fantastic crew. Carlos, Zhair, and Lorenzo arrived ready to get to work. They moved incredibly quickly, all while cautiously maneuvering around my husband and me (we were moving small things.) they went above and beyond in politeness, efficiency and consideration of our needs. Carlos periodically checked in to see how I was feeling about everything and if I was doing okay with my move. I've always trusted King's, and this crew is the perfect reason why. I had our former home's stairwell painted the day before they arrived (the stairwell was full of scuffs and marks from previous residents' movers). When they were done moving, not a scratch to the new paint. I don't know how they do it! Frankly, their coordination skills and good humor throughout the day put my husband and me to shame. They handled little snags with patience and ease. They truly were consummate professionals. I can't imagine a more perfect move-in.

We had a large (5600+ SF) house full of "stuff" accumulated over 40+ years, about half of which we donated and half of which we needed to move to Driftwood TX to get closer to all our young'uns. Original plan was to rent a large 24' Budget truck and hire some extra muscle to load/unload on both ends but at the urging of my wife, I contacted 3 top-rated movers on Angie's List to see what a turnkey outsourced job would cost. Having previously undergone several long distance moves, we knew firsthand how difficult and expensive (and sometimes destructive!) they can be, and consequently I wasn’t surprised to see that even the top rated movers on AL had several nightmarish reviews. What shocked me was I found a company with an almost perfect record (e.g., 667 total actual move reviews, 650 of which were “A” rated!), which is unprecedented for a moving company with this many moves. Omar Ayuso answered the phone when I called and couldn’t have been more accommodating, even rearranging some previously scheduled moves to fit us in on our house closing day on very short notice no less (movers actually went down and back in one day). In addition, the costs were well below what we were expecting with absolutely no hidden fees (i.e., simple mileage-based truck transportation charge plus reasonable hourly fee for 2 movers). They did not charge anything extra (e.g., for disassembly/reassembly, wrapping/padding, washer/dryer disconnect/hookup, loading/unloading, etc.). And last but not least, the 2 young men that actually moved us (Carlos and Martin from Belize) were a pleasure to work with and outstanding in every way including most importantly not damaging anything in the process! Needless to say, I have to admit my wife was right yet again and we are both so very thankful that we discovered King Moving!!

The move was the best ever arrived ready to work professional friendly Excellent team ! Thank you Guys
