Description of Work: The 3 men that moved me were amazing. ALL of my furniture was wrapped, they put down protective coverings for the carpet, stairs, and walls. They were on-time, professional, and polite. All of my belongings were well cared for without any breakage. Moving can be a huge challenge and the guys at Magic Moving made it painless. Thank you to the entire team!

Description of Work: Picked up 2/3 furnishings & misc. indoor contents of 2 story 2 bedroom home overwrapping & adding more minutes/cost to bill by wrapping blankets around furniture & taping same. We did not ask for this or anticipate it. It was 4 guys & a Large Truck. My son & I worked right along beside them and my son was the Team Leader as he is a Dr. and he was paying for my move. They handled the drive well to Mendocino Coast with my same leading the caravan in his suv from Santa Rosa, CA to Point Arena, CA. At time of payment after all was unloaded there were some minor descrepancies that my son caught & pointed out...All in all it was very expensive and stressful and we worked as hard as the movers & more. Plus we still had to make more trips back & forth with indoor and outdoor houseplants and gardening and garage items. They would have charged us even Greater Exorbitant Amounts if we had not set limits on what we would even allow them to take. Knowing we could come back and get more ourselves in stages (For example all of the contents of the Master Bedroom Closet we moved ourselves later...Renting a Budget Truck similar to the size of the one Magic gave us with their 4 guys, only our Budget Truck Trip my Brother In Law drove the truck and he and my sister and I unloaded multiple boxes). In retrospect we should have just Made 2 Budget Rental Truck Runs! It would have been way less money and stress and negotiations. TOO MUCH! Almost 1 yr. later (11 mos.) I still have not completely recovered/recuperated! We consider it to be The Last & Worst Move I will Ever Have Made.

Response from MAGIC MOVING & STORAGE INC.
Unbelievable!! Cant thank us enough and give us a glowing review at the time of the move but cry a year later?? money tight? ridiculous! Anyone who knows this area, the distance and amount of work that went into this move would have been elated! This price is ridiculously cheap and wasn't JUST a few items. Its always JUST this and JUST that unless YOU are doing the work! Nobody does it faster or more efficiently for the price we offer. We are disappointed that this customer had a change of heart a year later. We always go the EXTRA MILE to please our customers, and ensure a quality, successful and affordable move!

Description of Work: We haven't moved yet, so I can 't give a review of that. All I can describe is that when I was on the phone with them BEFORE purchasing this coupon, I asked them if I can use this coupon for the services I ordered, and the lady said yes, so I got the coupon. Then a couple of hours later another rep from the company called me to say that I can't use the coupon b/c I have to have a 6 hr min move...now I have to go through all of this extra work during an already stressful time just to undo something that could have been prevented in the first place. That is not cool.

Description of Work: they don't honor the coupon. I have to move August 1st but I will not deal with a company that misrepresent itself on Angie's List. I found another moving company. I just want a refund
Rating CategoryRating out of 5

Response from MAGIC MOVING & STORAGE INC.
Posting a review of this type is ridiculous. However, we believe it deserves a response. Magic Moving & Storage has and always will honor any advertised coupons. There is confusion since Angie’s List has 2 conflicting coupons. We are working diligently with Angie’s List so they can correct the problem. This individual could have resolved the issue with a simple phone call, but unfortunately, did not want to listen to reason or make the effort to find a solution. Magic Moving & Storage is always accommodating and we go the extra mile in offering the best VALUE ANYWHERE. We work hard to retain an excellent reputation and long standing relationships with our customers. We look forward to putting that experience to work for you and providing a smooth and easy relocation.

TERRIBLE!
Description of Work: Magic Moving and Storage moved me from one house to another within Danville. When I contacted Magic they estimated the move would cost about $2,000 but the charge would be based on time and materials. I advised Magic that I was told that big trucks could not make up the driveway at the new house. Nancy at Magic told me she had someone go out to the new home, and that they would not need a smaller truck. The movers arrived 20 minutes later than they said they would the morning of the move. After a walk through of the home the lead mover said they would need a second truck to move my belongings to the new home. He also said I would be charged extra for the truck and the additional driver. The movers got started about 7:45 AM however they billed me for a start time of 6:30 AM. They could not possibly have started at 6:30 because I lived in a gated community and the gate attendant does arrive until 7 AM. The morning went fine. I went to lunch with my friends helping to return to find all the movers all eating their lunch in my living room, and nothing more done from when I left. After packing up the trucks and arriving at the new home the drivers advised me they could not get their trucks up the driveway. They contacted their boss, David about getting a transport truck. Moving came to a halt while they tried to locate a transport truck. David drove over to assess the situation. I asked him since I was being billed by the hour how we could accommodate the situation since they were supposed to have assessed if a transport truck was needed in advance. The mover who was to assess the driveway said he had gone to the wrong house. David was extremely rude, and essentially said it was my issue, and became extremely hostile threatening to take all my belongings to storage if I did not pay them for all the hours. After further pleading David agreed he would credit my bill for the time the movers were standing around waiting for a transport truck. When a transport truck could not be located the movers began to carry up each item by hand. Eventually the movers got their personal trucks and loaded items into their trucks for transport. Dozens of items were damaged because of this method and the metal on the trucks. About 10 PM the lead mover came to me and said they were done and the fee was $3,900. I asked him how the bill was determined and if the credits for the time they were standing around was given. He could not explain it so I asked to speak to David. The mover got David on the telephone. I told David I did not understand how the bill was determined. He started yelling at me that we had a deal and I was resending on the deal. I assured him this was not the case and I was just trying to understand how the bill was determined. He screamed f*** you and hung up on me. He then radioed his movers who began packing their trucks with my things. It ended up there were not done with the job, but still had my televisions and several pieces of furniture. They left the job with my belongings. I have since had most of my belongings returned by paying Magic the full amount they said was owed. I submitted a claim for the damages and missing items as was contracted, and they have refused to pay for any of the damages.They were TERRIBLE! They damaged 28 pieces of furniture, and 2 pieces of furniture never made it from one house to another. They charged more than twice what was expected. They were unprofessional with the Manager/owner David screaming f*** you and hanging up on me when I questioned how the bill was calculated to be $4,000. Having my children on site I called the Police for protection. I would have received better service if I picked up some thugs on the corner. By far the worst business I have ever dealt with.

Response from MAGIC MOVING & STORAGE INC.
How does a business respond to such a false and unscrupulous review. Simply put it’s NOT TRUE and does not justify a response, however the public deserves the truth. This individual’s sole intention is to discredit and defame our stellar reputation, simply because he wanted his move for FREE. Magic Moving & Storage prides itself on value & service, but unfortunately can not offer moves for free. We choose not to subscribe to petty accusations and mistruths but instead will state the obvious. Magic Moving & Storage continues to provide excellence in moving while placing our customers needs and satisfaction first and foremost. The member received not only the professionalism and service one would expect from our company, but he received numerous discounts, credits and services totaling over $1,300.00. It was a difficult and tedious move with more than 20,000 pounds of household items, 5 trucks and over 8 crew members to get the job done. He completely mislead our staff in what was to be moved, requested additional trucks and manpower after he decided to move EVERYTHING. We advised him of the charges before hand and he signed and agreed. We did not balk or complain instead worked tirelessly to gain his trust and satisfaction. Our staff dedicated over 20 hours paying close attention to detail and jumped through numerous hoops to make him happy. Instead of graciously paying a ridiculously fair and reasonable price he decided to throw our crew out of his home, while using profanity, in an effort to defraud our company and not pay his bill. How selfish and disrespectful!! In his lame and wasted effort to "skip out on his bill" he called the police hoping they would force our crew to continue work after his refusal to pay for our services. At no time did any crew member act in any way other than professional and courteous. He made a spectacle of himself and even the Police laughed and agreed the call was unwarranted. It is an unfortunate circumstance that our company became a victim of such a dramatic manipulated and deceitful event. We are proud at the polite, courteous and professional manor in which our entire staff delt with the situation. We pride our selves in being respectful to our customers no matter how disrespectful, rude or irrational the person may be. Anyone reading this can clearly see it is in complete contradiction to the respect we have for our customers and the excellent performance we prove on a daily basis. The size , magnitude and difficulty in access would have cost well over $6000 anywhere else. As we do with every customer, we blanket wrapped, shrink wrapped and took great care in transporting ALL of the member's belongings. Another flawless move without any damage what so ever! Our proven methods and techniques are why Magic Moving & Storage has one of the lowest claims ratios in the industry and for the last consecutive 5-years ‘loss runs’ reflecting ‘0 claims’. We offer the highest value and best ‘bang for your dollar’ you will find ANYWHERE! We boast over 50,000 testimonials to support what is and will continue to be a stellar reputation. We look forward to adding you and 1,000’s more to our ever-growing list of happy customers! Sincerely Yours, Magic Moving & Storage Team
