Out of state moving experts! These guys did a fantastic job on my move from Houston to NY. They were able to get everything set up on short notice after our other movers tried to ...

We used Elephant Moving recently and were very unhappy. This is our second long distance move, but the first with Elephant moving. Anyone who has moved knows how stressful it can ...

Fantastic Piano Movers 11/2/2008

I hired them to move my baby grand piano from Pflugerville to Round Rock after the first company I hired to move my house including piano sent out 3 guys who clearly had no idea what they were doing. Elephant Moving did a great job and definitely knew how to take care of my piano. There were 4 guys on the crew, they had all the equipment for moving a baby grand piano, and they wrapped it up in 2 kinds of blankets to protect the glossy finish. I was worried about the piano going down the stairs at my new place (weird split level thing so there were like 9 steps), but the movers had everything under control and it was well worth what I paid. I wish I had used them to move my house a few days before (instead of the 3 clueless guys I ended up with). Next time I need to move anything I will call them, because I am confident that they can handle it in a professional manner. Pros: scheduled me on short notice, professional crew, handled piano with care more

Had 2 Great Moves with These Guys 10/31/2008

I used this company to move me twice. Once was in town and the second move was to California. I had a great experience both times. The local move had a really professional crew who took less time than estimated, so it cost me less than I had thought it would. That was pretty cool. The move to California went well too. The crew that picked up the job was awesome, and they packed a few things for me really well. I was impressed with the job they did. My stuff was delivered when they said it would be, and I got updates from them whenever I wanted to know where it was or what was going on. I disagree that people only write reviews when they are mad. I have moved before and had pretty bad times with other companies, and the fact that this company did so much better was noteworthy enough for me to come back here and share how my move went (the positive reviews here helped me choose them). I had a small end table damaged, but when you move so far I expect that something might break. My nice furniture and the fragile things that the movers packed for me came through in great shape. Overall, I would say that Elephant Moving was way better than anyone else I have used in the past, and I would recommend them to anyone wanting a good, solid mover who knows how to take care of customers. (The price was good, too!) Pros: consistently good - used them twice with great results both times Cons: small table damaged, but everything else was perfect more

Great service and great job 10/10/2008

I used Elephant moving 3 times in the last year - twice I called them with a request to help move something the same day and they found a way to work me into their schedule.\r \r Every time they came they sent courteous, efficient workers who showed concern for the property being moved and the location. \r \r Thank you Elephant Moving. Pros: Very careful packing, care for property, courteous movers, no surprise on the price at the end. more

Very Nice Service, Very Positive Experience 9/12/2008

We used this company to move our things from TX to CA. We've moved interstate a few times, and usually it has been a pretty awful experience but Elephant Moving did a great job. The sales person gave us a lot of information and made sure we would be aware of all policies and possible charges ahead of time, so there were no surprises like with some of our previous moves. The crew that picked up everything from our house was really great and wrapped and packed everything very well (no major damages and no missing items). The office staff was helpful and we received email updates when our stuff was on the truck. It took the amount of time they said it would to get our things and the driver who delivered was very nice. Overall, we are extremely pleased - our move was definitely a positive experience and I would recommend them to anyone wanting to move in town or out of state. Pros: professional and helpful staff more

You get what you pay for! 7/12/2008

I used Elephant Movers about 3 weeks ago and was very pleased. I was very worried about choosing good movers after being burned several times in the past. I carefully reviewed many websites and reviews, and most seemed like fake reviews (it's kind of obvious when there are multiple reviews around the same date!). The estimator came the day after I called and quickly checked out what I needed to move. She was very professional and brought a folder with information about the company and their policies and procedures. The movers were also very professional and they completed the move in the time that was estimated, and even though they were paid hourly they didn't drag their heels. The price estimate was also very accurate. Nothing was damaged and everything they moved was wrapped. I highly recommend these guys as good movers are hard to find! Pros: Professional, on time, no damage! Cons: Computer was down so took an extra day to get the written estimate more

Great moving service! 6/3/2008

I hired Elephant moving to move me out of my apartment about a month ago and I was very happy with their work. They called the day before to confirm, a hour before they got there, and they showed up on time. They were done moving my one bedroom within two hours, and they had brought 5 guys to help. The price I paid was the same as my estimate, and it was the lowest price I found anywhere. They were really friendly and great to use! more

On time and strong! 5/4/2008

We hired them for an in town move for just our heavy item we couldn't move ourselves. They were on time and quick. Two nice guys also. The stand up washer/dryer did take some bangs moving down 3 stories in from an apartment but we knew it would be tight. I'd use them again. more

Incredible Moving Service - Would recommend again and again! 1/14/2008

I moved at the end of December and had called about 10 different companies to schedule a move. Elephant was able to schedule a move just a couple days before my move-out date. The crew did show up late, but once they got there, they more than made up for their tardieness. The company even sent out an extra man because they were late. They wrapped everything carefully, and nothing was damaged because of it. They took great care, but also hussled. Each man in the crew was courteous. No shouting or cursing. And for the price, it was well worth it. They include the truck, gas, blankets and tape in their hourly rate. They were able to move everything in 2 hours - couldn't believe it. They did a great job and when I move, I can't wait to use them again! Pros: Courteous, Careful, Economical, Stress-free for User Cons: Timeliness more

Excellent Move, Excellent Service All Around 12/29/2007

I chose to use this company partly because of the great reviews I saw here on Citysearch. Everyone had such great things to say about them (aside from the 1 person who apparently didn't even use their services), and I am very pleased to report that my move was excellent! The whole thing went very smoothly. I hate moving (don't we all!) and was resigned to the idea that it would be as much fun as having my teeth pulled. But Elephant Moving made it a lot less painful. I found the office staff to be extremely helpful. They were happy to answer all of my pre-move questions (and I had a lot of them). I like that they email a copy of the estimate and a confirmation with date and time once you schedule - I have been stood up by movers before and had nothing to point to so I could prove they really were supposed to move me. I had an afternoon time slot, so I was given about a 2 hour window when they would show. I thought it would be like wating for the cable man (you know, ""he'll be there between 1pm and 5pm"" and then he shows up at 5:30...) but the office called about half an hour before my window and the crew showed up right at the beginning of my window. I couldn't have been happier that I didn't have to wait around for them like the cable man. The movers they sent were a great crew. I had 4 guys and unlike other companies I have used, these guys didn't seem scary or retarded! The whole crew was clearly well trained, they knew what they were doing and they did it well. I was pleased to see them wrap everything before they moved it, and they even reconnected my washer/dryer at my new place. The move took exactly the amount of time that was estimated, even with the Austin afternoon traffic. And the best part of my move: NOTHING WAS DAMAGED!! I would say that this was the best move I have had, and I am very glad that I decided to call Elephant Moving. I highly recommend this company to anyone who wants a great move experience. Pros: excellent service, helpful office staff, well trained moving crew more
