We have moved more than a dozen times and all around the world and this one move, using Starving Artist Moving Company.from mid-Kansas to Northeast Kansas, has been the absolute worst move ever. They don't communicate.don't finish on time.don't start on-time.don't listen.and don't care if they don't complete your job before moving to another customer. We only needed to move our household goods 220 miles and they have already taken over a week and still don't have an end in sight. If you have a choice.do not choose this company because you might get stranded and they don't care. Maybe they are "Starving" for a reason.

Kelton and Anthony were incredible. They were personable, respectful, and efficient. Only problem was a late response on why they were late but am still incredibly satisfied with this company.

During the move, Starving Artists damaged my father-in-law's gutter and a stone pillar in the driveway. He called and emailed multiple times about trying to find a reasonable resolution and was totally ghosted by the company. Very disappointing as our extended family had used Starving Artists multiple times and been very generous in looking past previous issues (eg they sent only one mover for an apartment job and I had to spend 4 hours helping get the job done). Would not recommend based on the unprofessionalism.

Starving Artist moving did a great job on my mother in laws move. They arrived at the scheduled time and took great care packing her belongings. They used cardboard sheets, packing blankets and wrapped items in plastic to protect them. The move was completed in a time manner without so much as a scratch. We recommend them highly.

Had a delivery scheduled for yesterday, text for confirmation and email. Appointment was scheduled almost a week out. NO SHOW. Called and spoke with someone and they rescheduled for today. I was told delivery would be here close to 5:00. They would make it right and call about 30 minutes before arrival. It is now almost 8 pm and no call and no show. Half a day of work missed yesterday and all evening today spent waiting again. So unprofessional and unacceptable.
