Second time we have used because friend recommended them. Anthony and Javen were good and professional and so careful that they didn’t risk damage to the table in an elevator that was slightly too small so instead they carries it down three flights of stairs!

Significantly under estmated the amount of time needed for the move and ended nearly doubling the price. Day of the move, they called to increase number of movers to 5 and added a truck. 4 of the 5 movers were very professional and conscientious, however, one was not. Ended up with substantial damage to several pieces of furniture, wall light fixture and door in the house. Boxes were not placed in correct rooms and due to the length of time of the move, large number of boxes just got left in garage. The owner was very apologetic and suprised at the damage saying it was very unusual. He tried to be fair with us and sent the damaged furniture and door out for repair at no cost to us.

Response from AMERICAN MOVERS
[Member Name Removed], thank you for the review and we appreciate you business. We never gave you a set price. We told you an hourly rate. You had quite a bit more than we had noted. So the move took longer than anticipated. It probably would of been good to have someone come out and look at the project, to see all you had to be done. As you witnessed the men work hard and do the best to protect your home and furnishings. We had some very heavy pieces and some challenging maneuvers to make, but that is why you called us, and it was a pleasure to serve you. As for the man that didn’t keep the full level of professionalism, I apologize. He was let go shortly after your move and we do not tolerate any employee not maintaining an excellent attitude with the customer. I appreciate you making me aware of it, so the matter could be taken care of. Please let me know if we can be of service in the future, Jon Garrelts

Extremely well. The moving team was on time, very professional and just kept loading/unloading until the work was done. Definitely would hire them again.

We relocated to Texas on 8/16. Called American Movers at the last minute to load the truck only. Jon gave a fair price - initially thought a little pricey, but we did call at the last minute, so we figured there was a little upcharge. Still very reasonable. We spoke to him and discussed what items we needed to obtain. Purchased three rolls of furniture wrap and 11 blankets for furniture. The truck was loaded, when unloaded at destination, the boxes were not secured, only 1 bookcase was wrapped and three furniture pads not used. The following issues were noted: 1. Boxes packed poorly 2. Gas from lawnmower on one of the mattresses 3. Antique armoire door cracked and off 4. Entertainment center scratched and wedged under other wood furniture 5. Dining table and two chairs with scratches 6. Metal racks on top of desk My husband was at the house solo as I had already gone ahead. Two pieces of furniture he stated absolutely had to be wrapped - the antique armoire and the entertainment center. Neither were wrapped. Movers stated they used all the pads, so my husband pulled out sleeping bags for them. Later in the garage, found 6 unused furniture pads and pointed this out. After this, only 2 more were used. During unloading, took multiple photos and sent to Jon, the owner. Asked him to speak with my husband. Jon initially stated the work was not insured since his company did not cover the entire move. No where on the website is this mentioned. We signed no paperwork with his employees. Jon finally stated his men "did not have the proper equipment, so they did not know how to load the truck." This is ironic since we purchased everything he requested us to buy. After repeated conversations, Jon finally offered $135, then $200 in a refund. We rejected this, considering we have had to spend the following: 1. $788.05 for a new mattress, delivery and mattress pad (ruined in the move) 2. $95.16 in repairs to scratches on table, chairs and armoire 3. $627.00 for uhaul rental to bring other items that would have fit on the truck if proper packing and tie down would have been used. Eventually, we filed a complaint with the BBB which we are waiting a resolution for. Jon did seem like he wanted to help at first, but his story changed after the second phone call.

Response from AMERICAN MOVERS
We did not move you. We loaded [Member Information Removed] truck for you then you hired another company to transport the truck, and someone else unloaded. When we move thing in our trucks we wrap every piece of furniture in [Member Information Removed] pad, we tie down and secure our loads. You stated you had 11 pads. We typically need 12 pads per room, you had [Member Information Removed] four bedroom house. In no way was 11 pads going to cover all your furniture, I apologize about the damage that occurred. The men told you upon arrival you did not have enough padding. You hired us for labor to load your truck, you had no tie downs, and not enough padding. After [Member Information Removed] couple other companies handled your belongings you wanted us to be responsible for scratches and damages. American Movers insures the items we move. The items you referred to got damaged while being transported by another company.

Juan and Kyle arrived earlier than scheduled and got right to work loading the truck. I left to go to closing and once they were done loading, they met me at my new place. They were quick to unload but very careful with my belongings.

The packing took longer than expected. More trips across town than expected. All the boxed items were in good order once unpacked, the problem was the labeling was too general. The boxes were labeled by room and if you needed something specific you had to open up all the boxes to find it. Still have unopened boxes. I think if you pack everything and they ship it, they do a good job. The people that came were very friendly, so that's a good thing.

The owner was very responsive and professional and was part of the job the first time, which went very well. However, the second time he was not part of the job and I had an issue with 1 of the 3 movers disappearing for periods of time and moving much more slowly than the other 2 movers. Considering I was paying by the hour, I found this frustrating, but the cost was the estimated amount so I got over it. The third time it got even worse and the cost ended up much higher than I expected. More than once I had to say something the person lagging behind (the same person as on the 2nd trip) about his slowness, which I found unnerving. All three times they did do an excellent job of treating the furniture well and avoiding breaks and scratches, which is why I'm still giving them high marks on Quality. They were also on time or early for each appointment. I marked that I would use them in the future should I have the need (which is very unlikely since I no longer have ties to the Wichita area); however, I would have a heart to heart with the owner before I used them again because of the issues listed above.
Description of Work: I used American Movers 3 different times over 3 months. The first time I had them move my mother's bedroom from the upstairs to the downstairs, including an adjustable Temperpedic bed. The move went well, including moving a bed upstairs that required cutting the frame to turn a difficult corner. The second time I used them to move my mom to Assisted Living. The third time I used them to move my mom out of Assisted Living.

They called to let us know they were running late so we didn't mind that they were 30 minutes behind schedule. The move went very well with only a few minor mishaps that you would expect with any move. We had one bottle broken, one piece of our elliptical machine was damaged, and some minor wall damage. All in all, we were very happy with the professional, friendly, smooth service that was provided. We would highly recommend American Movers.

Jon came out soon after our request for an estimate. He explained all costs and was very professional. Our 3 movers showed up at the correct time and were courteous. They all worked hard and were very accommodating, if something did not fit where I first choose a spot for it they were quick to move it to another place without complaint. It took 8 hours and 2 trips to move our home and I would recommend these men and their company to my friends.

It went great! Jon had 5 crew come to pack our belongings. They were very careful with our old heavy oak furniture. Even took apart 2 tables and then reassembled them at our new home. The guys kept in contact with us during the move ( a 2 day drive). so they could arrive at our new home approximately when we did. We were super impressed with the whole team and would suggest them to anyone wanting a good moving experience. All of the guys had very positive attitudes and demonstrated excellent teamwork.

American Movers was very flexible with our moving schedule and was willing to work with my timeline. Closings on old and new houses were a day apart and had a day in between before we could move in to new house. They were willing to help load from old house and move onto a rental truck to store overnight until moving in to new house. They also met at storage unit to load and take to new house when requested at last minute. The movers were very efficient and well worth the money. They were careful when packing onto truck, but could have been a little more careful when moving in/out of house, but nothing horrible. Rates were reasonable, but document the time they arrive and the time they finish. They also did not tell me what their travel rate was to get on site before moving began. Overall, they did a good job and would hire them again.

American Movers are the best moving company I have ever used. The owner and mover, John, was extremely professional, efficient, and an absolute blessing to have help me move my things.

The move went very well. I am very familiar with movers as I use them frequently. These are top notch.
Description of Work: John the owner and TJ came out and did a five stop move. I am in the estate sale business and needed to have household items moved from an apartment and placed with one of my sales. They came out without me having to supervise the move and picked up everything to be moved in the apartment. They then delivered it to one of my sales. They also picked up furniture and appliances at another location and delivered it to three locations. Wonderful to work, professional, trustworthy, and very careful with moving. Fully insured and very reasonable in price. Thank you guys for making that move so easy for me.
