Elephant Moving

Elephant Moving moved me on Saturday the 31st. They had a 4 hour time slot for us based on our quote; they showed up Sunday at 8 am (3 man team) and finished the loading after 1.5 hours. When we arrived to my new apt I realized that the apt I am supposed to move into is not ready. After a short call to Elephant Moving’s office we figured that it will be the best if the crew will wait with us until the apt is ready. The crew ended up having to wait with us almost 3 hours. Elephant Moving was very patient with us, they were clearly late to their next job in order to accommodate my move. They mentioned twice that they need to keep going with their day but still they stayed and finished the move that day in a very professional way. They made sure to reassemble everything and put it just where we wanted it. After all this Elephant Moving did us a favor and agreed to drop 3 small items at goodwill. Elephant Moving is a good company and proof of that is the fact that they kept going after my very long move and still accommodated their next customer, perhaps a little later than scheduled but still they showed up and did the job. I think Elephant Moving is a good and trustworthy company and I will certainly use them again. more

\r Moving with Elephant Moving and Storage was very pleasant - they were very helpful and accommodating. Due to closing problems we had to change our moving date a couple of times and then move out of our home on short notice. The staff in the office was very communicative and helped reduce a lot of stress. They said they encounter closing difficulties a lot during moving and were very flexible with rescheduling our move according to our needs. \r \r Even though we gave them a short notice we received the large team of 6 movers as originally agreed upon in order to finish our really huge home in one day. All of our belongings were transferred carefully into our new home with maybe one minor ding to one piece of furniture. The crew in our home worked hard and efficiently and finished the move as estimated. \r \r Highly recommend Elephant Moving - they are nice, helpful and deliver the service they promise.

I thought Elephant Moving did the best job moving me. We used them to move and store our stuff for about 6 weeks while our new home was being finshed. They came and packed up everything so nicely and hauled it off to their warehouse for storage. They took great care of everything that they put in the truck. I wasn't worried at all about how the stuff would come back to us because they were so nice and careful during the first move. When it came time for delivery they showed up right on time and got to work setting up the new house. They put everything where we asked. All the furniture looked just as it did when they took it away. Nothing was damaged or destroyed (which is a pretty nice accomplishment when moving a whole house, twice). It was raining the day they delivered but that didn't seem to slow them down and the guys were really careful about not tracking mud on the new carpet, which was good to see. They laid down some floor runner things that kept everything looking great underneath. They were able to reconnect our appliances as well and they just did a wonderful job with the whole move. We are still unpacking boxes but so far everything has come back in good shape. There was one box with a few crushed posters, but my kids packed those so I am not sure I can even blame the movers for that one : )\r Storing the stuff was a breeze. I never even went to the storage since it wasn't necessary to do so. It was great to have them just pick it up and bring it back when I needed it. I didn't have to mess with any self storage stuff, and keep track of keys to the lock, and worry about how my stuff was stacked inside. Since everything stayed wrapped in blankets while the movers had it I wasn't so worried that the furniture would get damaged. I would definitely recommend Elephant Moving to anyone who needs to move or who needs storage. They took great care of our entire house worth of stuff through the whole process. I will be sure to use them again in the future, although I really hope we don't move again for at least 10 years!\r Pros: wonderful crew, accurate quote more

Moved last week from Austin to Houston – decided not to u-haul myself this time, and a friend recommended Elephant Movers. They made my move so look so easy: 5 guys, 2 moving trucks and I was done with my move in one day, no weeks off from work, rental trucks and back and forth mess. Thanks Elephant Moving! Highly recommended!? Pros: fast, easy, great movers more

Best movers anywhere, I am sure of it! These guys were so great on my move to Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago. They were polite, professional and so fast. They picked up my stuff in record time, and got it to Vegas in less than a week. The movers packed all my stuff in Austin and did a great job. Nothing was damaged, and all the boxed stuff was packed perfectly. My big flat screen TV was the most expensive thing I moved and I was really worried about it, but they made a really nice crate for it and packed it in there with foam and blankets. After all was said and done, I was extremely pleased with the service Elephant Moving provided. They did what they said they would do and the price was as they said it would be. I would use them again in a heartbeat! Highly recommended! Pros: great crew, nice office staff, everything was as promised more

Used elephant movers to move our family from Austin tx to CA. I have to say they were really good, smooth move from the initial quote to the delivery .\r The crew in Austin did fantastic job preparing our shipment. they disassembled all the furniture that needed and wrapped every piece in blankets, made sure that every thing will make the long trip, and we got an inventory list of our shipment. \r Besides one flimsy mirror (from target) everything arrived in great condition. the crew in CA had to shuttle our shipment closer to the building, they did that with minimum stress for us. they carried every thing to the second floor and reassembled every thing that the crew took apart in austin.\r I really have to say thanks to the crew on both sides for being helpful and patient. Pros: helpful, patient, expert crew more

Elephant Moving really saved my a** last week! I was supposed to move at 8am on Dec 24th with another company and they didn't show up! I called them and called them and the bums never answered the phone. I started calling around to other moving companies in hopes that someone could help. Some were closed, some were full for the day and because of the holiday were closing early. I didn't have a lot of stuff to move, but I had to get it done so I could go out of town in the evening to see my family for Christmas (my lease ends while I am out of town and I had to be out!). Elephant Moving was able to fit me in that day, they didn't apppear to charge any extra fees or jack up the rate really high, and the crew that showed up to move me was really nice even though I suspect they were supposed to go home earlier and got stuck with my move instead. They did a great job, they did it really fast, and there was no complaining or anything despite the holiday that I was delaying for them. I was so stressed out because I got screwed first thing in the morning, but by the afternoon I was moved and able to get out of town to see my parents. I told them that I might not be able to make it because my movers didn't show and I had to find a way to move even if that meant doing it myself. They were so happy to see me and I was really pleased to be there. Elephant Moving saved our Christmas, and they helped me out with a smile. Next time I move I will call them without a doubt. Thanks guys, and happy holidays! Pros: friendly, helpful, came on short notice more

Moved me in Austin. Just a local apartment to apartment type thing. Crew showed up on time and got down to business. They had my apartment wrapped up and ready to go in no time and the stairs were no problem. The delivery was super smooth since it was to a 1st floor, and the guys got it all done in less than 2 hours. They were friendly, didn't complain, and got the job done. I appreciated how fast and efficient they were, and the price was as promised. On a side note, my girlfriend told me I should tip the movers - I had no idea that was like a standard thing - so I asked the guys and they said they do get tipped by a lot of their customers (so I did as well since they did a great job). Just thought I would pass that on since I had no idea. Great crew, great move. Will use them for sure next time I move. Pros: really nice, friendly movers more

Had a good experience on my recent move to NYC. The pickup crew was friendly, the office was nice. I had an on-site estimate and asked for a binding price. The total cost was as expected but I needed a shuttle which I was hoping to avoid since the truck was too big to turn down my street. I kind of figured it would happen though so I wasn't surprised. The delivery driver was nice and patient even though the stairs were narrow and he had to work pretty hard to get my sofa upstairs. The delivery came in about a week so I didn't have to wait too long for my stuff. Would use them again or recommend them to friends. Two thumbs up! Pros: friendly staff, friendly movers more

Local moves maybe fine, but I had a horrible experience with an interstate move from Austin to Irvine Calif. The initial quote was $2000. Then, after a representative visited my Austin apartment at my request, the quote went to $3000 because of furniture I had in storage. By the time the furniture arrived in Calif (the movers kept my items on the truck until I paid in full and signed all their documents), I was charged about $5300. Make sure you get all the documents you have to sign in advance and get a fixed price for your move. Otherwise you WILL get screwed. The movers lost material, returned the following day with the missing components, but wouldn't complete moving and assembling all items unless I paid more money. If you are moving out of state, don't use Elephant. Pros: Pickup was fine Cons: Kept raising the cost by the time furniture arrived in CA more

Elephant Moving moved us from North Austin to Dripping Springs last week and swear I will never use other movers again - they were FANTASTIC! I cannot praise them enough. The move went so smoothly and the crew was so wonderful through the whole process. Our estimator told us up front that we definitely had 2 truckloads of stuff, which I know already since our 4 bedroom house is pretty full and used 2 trucks last time we moved. \r \r We decided to pack ourselves and used their rental crates that they delivered a few days before the move. We tried our hardest but there were some last minute items that we just did not have time to pack up - no problem when I called the office and told them I would need help with that the next day. They were flexible and pleasant about it and they made sure the movers brought some extra crates just in case. The crates are awesome! I don't think we would have managed to pack nearly as much as we did without those crates. They made packing a breeze compared to the usual box method and I didn't have to worry that my kids were packing things badly since there's no chance of the crates getting crushed in the truck!\r \r On move day the crew was polite and worked really quickly. The whole crew was great but a couple of the guys were exceptionally strong, like superhero strong, and were lifting our heavy pieces like they weighed nothing. I really felt comfortable with them because they were so careful with our stuff. They wrapped everything as promised and were even able to transport a lot of items that I thought I might need to take myself like the computers, plants and pictures. \r \r Our new house is brand new and they really tried to keep it in pristine condition. The crew put cardboard on the stair bannister and laid pads on the floor and on the doorways. There was some trouble getting the appliances into the utility room - the wall got a bit dinged up - but overall they worked to make sure nothing was damaged. I even saw them carrying a few things by hand to avoid going over a section of shiny tile with their equipment and I really appreciated the effort.\r \r We haven't finished unpacking but so far I haven't found anything broken (did I mention how awesome those crates were?!). I have moved a few times over the last decade and the quality ranged from so-so to criminally bad. This was not like any of those experiences. I will only use Elephant Moving from now on because I know I won't have to worry about my stuff, my house or even my packing. They have it all totally under control and I would recommend them to anyone. Pros: careful, pleasant, quick and strong! more
