IF YOU HAD MOVERS REQUIRE A CASH FINAL PAYMENT FOR DELIVERY YOU HAVE BEEN SCAMMED! S&M Relo required a $2,700 cash payment for final delivery of my furniture. The final amount due was $1,8**, an uneven amount. The drivers also demanded additional $1,500 cash to shuttle my furniture due to construction, including the driver, a female assistant, and the manager. There was no construction equipment impeding the movers, and after 30 min the driver had to ask for instructions.
He had never been to the delivery point and tried to pull this scam blind. I have over 25 years of finance experience in Emerging Markets, with constant exposure to fraud. At one point, I alone uncovered $250MM in fraud and worked with the FBI to convict a dozen criminals. S&M Relo/Moving Systems covered for their drivers by forging a final invoice. This is a carefully planned and very well rehearsed scam involving multiple teams of drivers from AZ, CA, NV to UT.
If you have had a similar experience, even if it was just a final cash payment, please call the Salt Lake City FBI station. They have an active investigation opened. Also, please post your own review and share all reviews with others.

I used S&M to organize a move from ATL, GA to Boston, MA. I organized the moved months in advance and asked S&M to tell me when they should pick everything up so that it arrives Boston during a specific week. After organizing for the loading dock and service elevators to be reserved on the specific days and times S&M requested, the movers arrived. more than 3 hours late for pick-up in ATL, took over three weeks in transit and arrived more than 11 days late in Boston then arrived more than 4 hours after promised on delivery day.
Not only was the timing of pick-up, transit and delivery completely mishandled. My bed frame and desk were lost in transit. The lack of communication from the moving coordinator Denise was astonishing having gone more than a month without a reply to emails, text messages, or voicemails. This company does not care about the customer's time, possessions or happiness. I wI'll not use S&M ever again and highly discourage everyone I know from even contacting them.

I would not use this company for moving. The movers got to me on time but then I had to sit with them for over two hours to get my things moved. I used their storage also. My first contract was for only 47 cents per storage. Will unbeknownst to me when the changed my contract they made it cost 1 per storage. I called to let them know and they will not honor my first contract. They already put my price up to begin with and then they charge me more than double for storage.
I would use a large well known company to move your things. Not someone who does contracts with other moving companies. They are straight forward and at least don't try to be sneaky along with not talk to you about it.
