Description of Work: I had used another moving co. to move into my house and then I had a dresser I wanted upstairs. Though they were unable to fit the dresser and damaged the wall(with my permission) they gave it all they had. Even came back later in the day with more men to try again. It just wouldn't go upstairs. I appreciated their effort.

I have used 8 or 9 moving crews with various companies in the last three years as we moved to Louisville and kept moving furniture around in our four story home. The crew from Margaret's moving company that came last weekend were the best I have ever had! They took seriously the need to communicate with each other to avoid bumping furniture into walls and ceilings, and for the first time ever, there were no nicks or scrapes! They did not have to take a smoking break every ten minutes, or talk to someone on their cell phone, etc. They followed directions and did not rush to put things where I did not want them. I could go on with past nightmares, but those of you experienced with movers know what I mean. Finally a pleasant experience! Thanks Margaret!

It was awful. I would never hire this company again. Margaret's husband claimed that a competitor called the police on them and was simply trying to cause trouble. He also claimed that they were constantly persecuted due to being a minority owned company. The only good thing about the move was that they didn't charge us due to the complete fiasco of the move. Don't hire this company. They claim to have won awards, but I don't know who would have awarded them. There are other companies in Louisville that are much better!
Description of Work: My fiance and I hired this company to move his furniture from a storage space to my apartment. They arrived late to the storage area and were not dressed professionally and didn't have a marked moving van. They were pulled over by the state police on the way to the apartment due to a report about not having the proper license to move furniture. Then the truck had a flat tire during this process and we had to wait for the furniture to be moved again to a different truck (also unmarked). When we finally arrived at the apartment, Margaret's husband showed up and threatened to keep our furniture on the truck unless we apologized to his wife for being rude on the phone. After having his furniture nearly impounded by the police and watching it being haphazardly moved from one truck to another, my fiance was rightly upset and expressed his dissatisfaction with the process over the phone. After discussing this with Margaret's husband and him realizing that his company was in the wrong, the furniture was finally moved into the apartment. There was some minor damage to several pieces of furniture but we didn't pursue anything because of the way the whole move was handled.

We are licensed, our DMT # is 3660 and you are welcome to call the state and verify that information. Additionally, the moving industry is very political, however that is common knowledge to most consumers. Yes, we did do the move for free for your trouble and I regret that you didn't feel that was compensation enough for your troubles. Obviously it was not our fault nor yours that we were stopped, but we tried to keep you satisfied and voided your charges. We understand that moving is stressful and hope in retrospect you realize that based on the circumstances we did a great job in providing you the best customer service and price (FREE) to compensate the delay. Good luck and thanks again!

The service was good, they were friendly. There were a couple of damaged items. They have a damaged goods coverage, it's a certain amount of money per pound but we had a damaged crib that was not fully covered. Other than that they were good.

The experience was pretty good but not as good as I have had with others. There was a conflict with what was due and how the payment was going to be made when they were done with the job and we were getting ready to pay them. I was going to give them a check and they told me that I had to have cash. I went with someone else the next time I moved because of that. They were not as professional as some other companies I have used. There was a difference in the price quoted and what I was going to pay and how the payment was to be made. I probably would not recommend them.

Taking a check is a risky venture in our business. Many movers (and businesses) no longer take checks. We stopped in 2006 after taking $14000 in bad check and the associated fees. Besides that, we spent a tremendous amount of time chasing the check writer down, going to court etc and rarely collected our money. This is difficult work. We should not have to fight for payment after doing the work. We are sorry that you let a simple payment method detract from an otherwise good experience. Thanks again!

They were the best estimate compared to the others. They were quick and very accommodating to my schedule. They didn't damage any of our belongings. They were very courteous. I would definitely use them again. It was a great experience!

GREAT experience! My ONLY complaint, however small, is that they arrived maybe 15 minutes later than the "8:00 a.m.- 8:30 a.m." scheduled window. That is a very small complaint, and we do live about 20 minutes north of the Oldham/Jefferson County line. No damage to any items, I haven't even seen a scratch on anything. Even our older-style 51" big-screen (7 years old, a nice HDTV but still a modified rear-projection about 30 inches deep, and HEAVY!) survived undamaged, works perfectly. Then even got it down into the basement for us, no problem. The three movers were courteous, polite, and helpful. I was pleasantly surprised to see, on the bill, where there was a total of 45 minutes of breaks taken by the movers, that we weren't charged for. I can't say enough good things! We used movers once before, and while we didn't have any huge problems with them, the last company was so unimpressive that I don't even remember who they were.
Description of Work: Moved us from a 2,015 square foot house in northern Oldham County to a larger house in southern Oldham County.

Overall it was a terrible experience. They were late, I did not receive a phone call that they would be late. They got lost and couldn't find my new place. My son and I helped them move things into the new place just so we could get finished moving. Would not recommend this company.

Member, first of all, I wish that any moving concerns would have been addressed to our office so that we may address them directly and timely. Secondly, based on my review of your bill, it appears that we did discount your move 45 minutes for the time that they were lost as you did move from 40272 zip to 40205 zip codes which are significantly distant from each other. It also appears that we were within 45 minutes of our phone estimated work time. Further, your move was scheduled as an afternoon move. All afternoon moves are given a window of time for arrival between 12-3 with an hour call ahead. We arrived at 2pm, which is well within our agreed upon time. The reason we require a window of time for afternoon moves is that we do not know exactly how long the morning move may take, so in giving you a window of time, it allows for the crew to complete their morning move and catch a lunch and be refreshed and ready for their 2nd move of the day. Finally, I see no comments regarding damage, inappropriate behavior or the move taking too long, so I can only assume other than your dissatisfaction with the start time misunderstanding, your move was a successful move, for which I am grateful. Thank you for your business and I hope that since you have had time to reflect on your move, you realize that it was successful and refer us as such. Thanks again!

PURELY UNPROFESSIONAL. We scheduled the move about 4 weeks in advance, but they gave no pre-move inspection. The "3 men and a truck" they sent was a misnoemer -- the 3rd man simply did paperwork & made secretive phone calls with Margaret on strategies to charge more. None of the 3 men sent were up to the task or as strong as the expectation for movers. As a result, they were inept in moving large items around tight corners--they moved a mattress & box spring before leaving. When the 3rd man had us sign their paperwork the day of the move, he refused to give us a copy upon signature. Then walked away with borh original signature documents. Then after I requested those back to destroy, Margaret refused to send me both copies marked VOIDED, and sent me back only one with copy marked VOIDED, so we still don't know what the other copy says. So far Margaret has not charged us for the move, and said she would not. This company did not charge us when we refused to sign their addendums to increase price & waive liability. Although they did not charge us, by not performing as scheduled, and walking away from the job, they lost us truck rental and unpacking time and risked us to not be able to schedule other movers with the truck's clock ticking. They acted as if they had us over a barrell by such antics. SUGGESTION: If you hire them, get ALL the paperwork done in advance, with signatures of the owners, ask for resume's of EACH man to be sent, AND have a pre-move inspection and FIRM quote on SPECIFIC ITEMS, and ask the maximum time they will take to do the job. And then DO NOT use as your contract award criteria the number of men versus their price (average price per man) because we saw 2 men lift an item without equipment what Margaret's 3 men said they had to
Description of Work: Spent the first half hour of time doing paperwork that could have been done in advance. The 3 men they sent were not physically fit for this job -- could not lift a heavy item that 2 other men lifted the next day. Client refused on-site increase in price AND to sign Margaret's form to exempt Margaret's from causing damage to the items to be moved, and sent them packing (pun intended). The next day, hired other local movers -- only 2 men -- VERY LUCKILY for us came on short notice, and they put Margaret's to shame. Night and Day comparing the two.

We are delighted that you found a mover that could work within your parameters. Our paperwork is state required and mandatory. Had I sent both copies to you and the state auditors come in, I would have nothing and been cited for failure to comply with state law regarding documentation. The paperwork is 3 sheets only. The Bill of Lading, the state supplied household moving disclosures and the 3 the state provided "Pressboard" disclosure. All of our charges and prices are fully disclosed in both phones calls and our emails. We are sorry that you "sent up packing" before you were able to experience our outstanding service. However, at the end of the day, the goal is to get you moved, which did occur. We wish you luck in the future! God Bless!

They were nonstop and they were there all the time. They really hustled. I was very happy with them and they damaged couple of things and they only showed me some things and said to reduce the price. They did some scratches but they were friendly. They were very nice and really good heart people. They are trustworthy. They also came back and I would recommend them. They showed up on time and they worked hard and they didn’t show me all the scratches and also there were scratches on the wall. I would use them again in the future.

See comments above. There failure to come out and view the situation left us unimpressed with their professionalism. They did not have a call what the move entailed.
Description of Work: We decided not to use this firm. They did not come out to see what the move entailed. They had no clue what they would encounter. Because they thought they could do the job without ever coming out, my wife was not impressed We ended up going with Chappell Moving and, overall, had a good experience.

Response from Margaret's Moving & Storage
We are delighted that you had a successful move! Depending on the type of move, we typically do not preview most moves. Some of the mitigating factors in moving can be; at the unload location we cannot see things such as stairs, clearances, parking etc. At the load things are not always as anticipated, such as some customers feel that their sister will want grama's old sewing maching and take it away, but this does not always occur. They also may hope to get more purging done, more arranging, more packing etc. So previewing each move proves to be futile, time consuming and costly. We pride ourselves in keeping our overhead low so we can pass the cost savings to our consumers. Further, by keeping our prices competitive, we typically stay so busy that previewing provides little value to the overall experience. State of Kentucky regulations require that all intrastate moves be performed at the hourly rate regardless if a visual inspection is performed or not. We cannot, per state law, give a flat fee to an customer on an intrastate move. Additionally, after moving so many families over the years, we feel that our staff and crews are experienced, knowledgable and responsibile enough to handle any move thrown our way. And in closing, while I do not recall this particular moving family, the year listed was 3 years ago, in 2008, which is the same year we won WLKY A-List for Best Mover in Louisville! While we appreciate feedback from all customers, negative comments left by people who never got to experience our fantastic service, can deter potential future customers from the opportunity to exhibit just why we did get voted best mover in Louisville!!

The move was a great experience even though we had more"stuff" than they had planned. They didn't stop until the job was done and made many trips up and down the stairs. They were a great bunch of guys and a pleasure to deal with.
Description of Work: The movers were on time and very professional. There were 3 guys that came to load all of the furniture as we had already packed up. They worked for 12 straight hrs. only stopping for a quick break when I brought lunch in. They were very polite and worked very hard. They made 2 trips to deliver all our furniture 25 miles. I would hire again.

First and foremost dealing with MM was great. We did a quick phone estimate which came in 12.00 per hour less than that of two other local movers. So I booked it. They showed up Sunday, prompt and knew their business. Very professional guy by the name "Von" packed my stuff and as far I have seen so far not a thing was broken. What was even better they knocked the whole move out in less than four hours! I tipped the guys and I'm certain I'll see them again. I highly recommend giving MM a shot on your next move!

First of all, I appreciate hearing detailed examples of customer's experiences. I am also appreciative that we were able to have wonderful customer's call our company, schedule a move with us and be so kind as to tip the workers. We are very blessed to come into contact with wonderful people each day! It is good to get feedback that one of our employees is coming into his own and building confidence to handle the move. I appreciate his hard work and the supervisor that has been handling his training and mentoring. Again, Thank you for your feedback and please let everyone you know, know about us!

Excellent contact in advance, friendly and professional personnel on day of move. Care was taken to avoid damage to both our things and our home(s). One set of shelves went missing, but they found and brought them punctually as soon as they were found about 2 days after the move. I didn't want to use movers from several past horrible experiences, but my new wife had used and liked this company a year ago. Glad I listened to her.
