Description of Work: We've used RHM many times in the past on the Big Island. The last time was to move my elderly parents from there to Oahu. They had a modest 2 bedroom apartment that they were moving out of, and not much to move at that, as they had done their major 'move and de-clutter' some years before. Many, many bad and unprofessional things happened that day. We certainly were not treated like valued customers, and the quoted packing time stretched from 'a few hours' to all day, threatening to miss the container deadline at the port. (they sent a smaller crew to help them pack than was originally told to us). In addition, one of the packers set an entire sheaf of packing paper on the stovetop and inadvertently turned on the burner by rubbing up against it I suppose, causing it to catch fire, from which he ran away from. I was standing at the sink, and was able to grab the burning papers and throw them into the sink to put out the fire. No apology EVER came from that incident. Then, they loaded a pair of wing back chairs my parents have had since they got married with no padding on them, only paper (with a lot of the chair exposed). We had asked them to be especially careful of these chairs, but when they came off the truck at the delivery end, one of the legs had splintered off due to the lack of padding. We had opted to take full insurance, but even this was a nightmare, as we had to get an adjuster out of our own in order to verify value, and adjusters don't really have time to come out and give an opinion, they are busy with their primary job. All-in-all, it took months to get this resolved, and spent thousands of dollars with this moving company to get a check for a tiny (tiny) fraction of that. Oh, and the day they moved in, we got a call from the RHM 'greeter', who wanted my parents to come meet him in the street in his car because he had an 'Aloha Pineapple' to welcome them to Oahu and he didn't feel like finding a place to park (they moved to Waikiki with plenty of metered parking on their street). My parents are in their mid to late 80s with mobility issues, so they called me to go get their 'Aloha Pineapple'. If you have a choice between a moving company run by meth addicts and RHM, choose the druggies, at least you know what your getting right up front.

Description of Work: I waited for a consultation that never showed up and when I called him after waiting a hour he said he overbooked and yet told me he was coming himself at a certain time. He was courteous bit at the same time not punctual. He also never called me back for a day or two I had to inquire about my quote which makes it seem like responsiveness is pretty low. So unfortunately I have to give them a "D" may not be what people want but I'm just one person that wasn't happy with my service

Refer to above statement.
Description of Work: It was a hard move for me, as my husband had died in July, and I was moving to be near my daughter in Maui, HI. When they came and surveyed what all I wanted to move, they were kind and thorough, and I felt comfortable with Brian. I was able to contact Megan Dickman at any time by phone, for any questions that I had. I feel as if I know her personally after having talked with her so often. She was wonderful!! When all my furniture and household contents arrived, my daughter was able to accept them, and have them delivered to my new home. Everything seems to be in good condition, although I have not been able to move into my home, as there are still repairs being done on it. But as I've looked around, I believe everything arrived, and I have not noticed anything broken. I'm very pleased with all the different companies and personnel I've dealt with, and commend you for your good service. Aloha, Alberta Smith

Excellent on all counts. Workers on both ends were efficient, clean, professional and really knew what they were doing. Pack and pickup in Seattle from two locations (storage unit and separate apartment building) took 6 hours with two workers both packing and loading the truck. At destination, 3 workers unloaded and unpacked and removed all packing materials in 4 hours. They arrived as promised within the 2 hour window. The only "glitch" was that the pre-move survey guy way underestimated how much stuff I had and his weight estimate was off by 133% making my ultimate bill way higher (233%) than I expected. Remember, they quote a price per pound and will charge for actual weight... but the estimate certainly sets an expectation... To Royal Hawaiian Mover's credit (a subsidiary of DeWitt Companies out of San Diego, CA)... they empathized and was able to offer me a significantly lower per pound rate (thanks to negotiating a better shipping rate due to the higher volume and weight) that made my invoice "only" 75% higher than I expected instead of 133% higher. I applaud them for that and am not deducting anything on my review for that. It's my fault that I have too much junk. This was my first experience using a full service -door-to-door service and I am so pleased. Ultimately, even not paying myself for the week that i would have spent packing and unpacking a "self-pack" container, I think the rate I paid was more than worth it. It was efficient, nothing broken, nothing lost and everyone so respectful.
Description of Work: Full Service moving from Seattle, WA to Kahului, Maui, HI. Single price per pound that includes pack, pickup (two locations), shipment, delivery at destination and unpacking. Packing materials were included as well as carting away materials after unpack. No hidden costs nor tariffs, etc. Two insurance/damage coverage options available. If no elevator, minimal stairs extra surcharge possible (i did not have any).

Pretty well; timely and courteous, and the company worked hard to accommodate our tight schedule. Some minor damage to a couple of items and the floor, but I think this is inevitable with any move.

The workers were very big and muscular. They sat me in my garage in the shade and told me to tell them which room and floor of the new house to put the boxes in as they unloaded them. The house was a 3-story house. A big TV set fell off the dolly as they were moving it. They plugged it in and turned it on and it still worked. They kept the TV on and would stop and watch it as they were moving the boxes. They slid my newly refinished baby grand piano up the stairs and scratched it. I complained about it and they told me to tell the insurance company. I told them that I couldn't afford the insurance because I had paid $15,000 for the move. The piano is still scratched. Some of my antiques were taken apart and they didn't put them back together. They did put a huge antique china breakfront cabinet back together but they lost the screws. They were supposed to unpack the boxes but they said if they unpacked they would just take everything out of the boxes so I did the unpacking myself. They left most of my boxes on the second floor and didn't take very many to the third floor even though I had directed them to take boxes to the third floor. They made it as easy on themselves as they could. They were contracted through the original mover so I don't know exactly what their charge was. They did arrive on time and worked hard during the day.
Description of Work: I moved from San Diego to Hawaii. Royal Hawaiian Movers was the contractor that moved the container with all of our furniture off the boat and moved it to my house and unloaded it.

They kept some of the items in the container. They were 14 feet long pipes that belonged to a laundry drying system. I called them up, and I went to see them. They told me that they had some poles in the corner of the shop, but they didn't know who they belonged to. It was my poles. I was a little upset about it. They were on top of the job all the way except for the pipes. The price was extremely high. They followed the schedule as it was set. I used them twenty years ago as well and didn't have any problems. Their prices were a lot better then.

I have always had good luck with them. That service is paid by the military. They are good. Their prices are low or medium because it is contracted out. They were efficient, thorough, and nothing was broken or missing on arrival.

Horrible. now I am finding others on the internet that have been robbed by them too.
Description of Work: DON'T USE THIS COMPANY. THEY WILL ROB YOU BLIND WHILE PACKING YOUR BELONGINGS AND DESTROY YOUR THINGS FROM CRAPPY WRAPPING/HANDLING... EMAIL me if you want further details.... dmtheartist@gmail.comWe moved from Hawaii as part of a military move... before we left they stole all my jewelry... $23,000. I filed a police report and the detectives response back to me was, "miss, I went and spoke with each of the men that was at your home and they told me they didn't do it. so I believe they didn't do it."...... REALLY?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure he gets his cut somehow. my dealings with the police in Hawaii for the 5 years we lived there is that rent-a-cops in malls are better than they are! Anyone interested in filing a class action? I'm going to file a suite... care to join?Our pack out was 2/10/11 and our shipment was in storage for 5 months. We just finished unpacking now that we are in Connecticut and not one single box was free from damage. $56,700.00 worth of damages!!!! Horrible. I turned paperwork in for the claim Saturday. Thankfully the move was a FRV (full replacement value) by the military and they will go after them and my homeowners will cover a small portion of the jewelry.... they need to be shut down and put in jail.They packed the kitty litter scooper with my 6mo old baby girls bottles!!!!!!!! the toilet plunger with our kitchen boxes of food and pasta.... Royal Hawaiian Movers are a joke and disgrace to the industry and it's because of idiots like them that the rest of the industry takes heat. I took photos and video of all the damage as I was opening each box. . . they broke off the top of our clothes valet / butler and taped it back to the main piece.. and lazy......they left dresser drawers full and then taped around the entire surface of the dresser to keep the drawers shut, then when the tape was removed it took the finish with... I had a Hebrew bible dating to 1700's valued at over $10,000 that they just threw in a box and it was destroyed. I have a word document 64 pages long with 5-6 photos on each sheet showing the stupid things they did. Horrible... run from these guys!
