Microship just helped me with a recent move from a one bedroom apartment to a house. They arrived early which was great and took great care when wrapping up my furniture. Everyone was professional and great to work with. Definitely recommend! Great price for the services provided!

I recently moved from Illinois to Oklahoma and Microship made it a very easy and stress free process. The communication with the movers was very efficient and the communication with Doug, new management, was better than ever. Throughout the whole process they eased my mind and got everything done professionally. Not only was the service fantastic, but the price for the move was as well. The movers and company made sure to keep in contact from the moment they left to when they arrived.
We had a lot of valuable items being moved and the movers took their time to make sure to wrap them efficiently so they would be safe in the truck while over the road. Everything was on time and because of this nothing was delayed along the way. A great company that works with you to make sure that they get your move and anything you need done without worry. My family and i were very with our time using Microship and will definitely be referring them moving forward.

After dealing with many other moving companies and getting no where i knew that Microship was going to be my best option and i was right. My friend referred me after her great experience and how much she boasted about them. The communication with the office and movers was fantastic, like she said it would be! Everyone within the company answered all the questions i had and made me more relaxed, i had a lot of questions and everyone who i spoke with was very knowledgeable to what i had asked and needed done.
They even gave me better ideas towards how to handle my move. I had a small move and everything was treated with care and the movers were extremely professional and efficient. I will definitely pass their business on to others just like it was done for me. My move was stress free and i could not be happier with the service.

MicroShip Inc. was amazing and they provided outstanding customer service from the Owner, Mary, Reggie and all others that hauled all the boxes to the truck, Kept it in storage and delivered it to Scottsdale Az six months latter. We had a unique situation leaving Illinois and Settling in AZ 6 months latter. The boxes and furniture that arrived were flawlessly clean and there were no bugs, no odors, etc. nothing was missing or even broken. They gave our personal stuff tender loving care and I would highly recommend them to anyone that is moving.
