What Our Clients Are Saying
Verified I'm glad I chose One Stop Moving for my emergency move! I was getting desperate because I found out that I needed to move with a weeks notice. I was so worried I wasn't going to be able to find a company who could help me with such short notice, or that I would have to settle for a subpar company. Luckily, thanks to One Stop Moving, I didn't have to settle. Their customer service was amazing, they did the best that they could to find me a spot in their schedule, and the service that they provided was 5 star. Punctual, knowleadeable, careful, and packed my stuff so well I was impressed. Not only that, I had 2 couches I wasn't sure I could take with me to my temporary location, and just hired their storage services. My office will relocate in the next month, and we are using them as well.Posted on Yaffa L.Verified These guys were great, they went above and beyond to help my parents move. I had scheduled this moving company after reaching out to a few others whom I had all given a list of items with their dimensions. 1 Stop Moving was the only reasonably priced movers, there were no extra fees or hidden fees or nonsense like that, they charge a flat reasonable fee for gas, and the hourly rate was the best quantity especially after the quality of service received. We've never had to use a moving company before we've always done it ourselves and I couldn't be happier with choosing them.Posted on Sav G.Verified These guys were awesome! I've used this company multiple times in the past and they never disappoint! They make the moving process stress free! They are fast and efficient and handled all my furniture with great care!Posted on Lehe W.Verified I recommend One Stop Moving and Storage. They were so very helpful to my needs. Great customer service's, I was stressed about moving to storage and they made it so stress free. Awesome!Posted on Tari R.
