They did everything that they promised to do. Joe and his team worked extremely hard, were very pleasant and accommodating, and all-around excellent! We highly recommend this company!

One of the movers was freaked out by cat hair, (of all things) and they refused to do anything further. They claimed the boxes were covered with cat urine and feces.they were not. It was only hair. They still charged over $900, which was only slightly less than they estimated, and didn't even move pieces of furniture that weren't even affected by said hair/urine/feces. Based on this experience, I do not recommend this outfit.

Our family had an amazing experience with the Canton office. The guys were on time, knowledgeable and professional. We needed a baby grand piano and harpsichord moved to a storage facility and the 3 guys they sent knew exactly how to wrap and handle the instruments. Great job!

STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS - they moved a book collection for me yesterday and brought a truck that had a history of a leaking roof. The drivers knew it, the company new it, they also knew exactly what they were moving and said nothing. The damage was over $75,000. The owner Gary doesn't call you back when his drivers tell you he will. He doesn't respond to emails. Just ignores you when you have an issue. Painful lesson learned.

Report
This was a very unfortunate decision to hire Move It Now. Our movers were scheduled to show up at 11:00 am and didn't arrive until 1:30 pm and took an extra 1.5 hours to reach our new destination. Boxes were not handled carefully during loading and unloading resulting in many flipped and caved in boxes. Our leather couch and chairs received multiple scratches en route. Our bookshelf was damaged beyond repair. Gary, the manager, did agree to have the bookshelf replaced - but he and the other movers accused us of lying about damage incurred to our other belongings saying that it was not their fault.
The movers became very argumentative, including the manager, resulting in an extremely unprofessional experience. They also refused to compensate us for the extreme delays in arrival to both our old home and the arrival to our new home. Upon requesting that they try to fairly compensate us, Gary simply badmouthed us as lying customers. We hope this saves just one other person from choosing this company. Please instead, choose a professional organization that has professional employees.
