Sky Moving & Storage

This company is very dishonest in its business practices. They promise one thing and then charge you for other things. They hold your stuff hostage until you pay their prices. The dispatcher ""Joe"" is rude. He was very condescending to my wife and insulted us by stating we were not of the real Jewish faith because we did not celebrate a holiday like him. They promised to pick up our items on one day and then held it for four days before shipping. Then, they would not tell us where the truck was on the road. They would not provide any information whatsoever. Everytime we would call, we were told by the ""receptionist"" it was on its way. Then ""Joe"" told us that my wife said to deliver it on a certain date which was not true at all and then stated he had it taperecorded. When asked to hear the recording, very argumentative since it is against the law to tape record a person without their knowledge. DONOT USE THEM. HORRIBLE!!!! stay far away even if the quote is really good. THEY ARE NOT HONEST. And the people who picked up our stuff, took a whole day to pack the truck and made racial comments that were not appropriate. more

I wanted to first tell you what a wonderful moving experience I had because of the professionalism and efficiency of the team you sent out to do my move. I cannot say enough about how courteous and pleasant all three of them were.I recommend sky moving to all more

DO NOT HIRE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE!!!! TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN! 27 DAYS AND HAVE STILL NOT SEEN OUR STUFF! Sky Moving and Storage will cheat, lie, and steal from you. Don?t be fooled by the receptionists. They will make you think that this company truly cares about you, when in fact all it cares about it taking forever to deliver your stuff and charging you for things you won?t even understand. They give you an estimate and tell you that this is binding and won?t change when they come to pick your stuff up. THIS IS A LIE. They basically ended up charging us TWICE as much, and charging us for things that they said they wouldn?t if we didn?t want (mattress covers, bubble wrap). I figured that I?d to hire them because the estimate was just too good to pass up. I WOULD HAVE PAID DOUBLE TO GET MY STUFF ON TIME. AND SO MUCH WAS BROKEN. They played it real cool when they came to pick up our stuff and said that they would take it to their free storage until we got an address ready for them to deliver to. They picked up our stuff on JULY 29th. I called August 1st to tell them our new address and set up a shipping date. THEY DON?T CALL BACK, first off, so don?t bother leaving a voicemail. They told me multiple times that a truck was coming at the end of the week and would pick up our stuff to move it. 3 WEEKS LATER! ITS AUGUST 24th!!! So here I am, at my new house WITH NO STUFF. IT?S BEEN 27 DAYS SINCE SKY MOVING AND STORAGE PICKED OUR STUFF UP! 27 DAYS I HAVE HAD NOTHING! I am absolutely disgusted by everything that this company stands for. They have no respect or even care for their customers who put faith in them that they can get the job done. The worst part about this moving company is that I depended on them, and once they have your stuff, there is absolutely NOTHING you can do to get your stuff. They will take as long as they like because they already have half your money, and know that they will get the other half. Our stuff finally gets delivered and at least 10 things are broken (including valuables bought in foreign countries and heirlooms). I called them and they said I?d have to file a claim through a third party and WOULD ONLY GET 60 CENTS PER POUND!! PLUS YOU HAVE NO CLAIM IF YOU PACKED YOUR OWN STUFF!!! Boxes had holes in them, tape removed, furniture scratched. THE BOXES LOOKED LIKE THEY KICKED THEM DOWN THE HIGHWAY FROM FLORIDA TO CALIFORNIA. I?VE NEVER BEEN SO DISGUSTED WITH A COMPANY IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN FROM THIS COMPANY! more

I chose Sky Moving based solely on the ?glowing? reviews at MyMoverReviews website. Had I researched the mostly-negative reviews of this company in other websites, I?d have avoided them like the plague. They were dishonest, unreliable and didn?t care about customers. When I spoke with Shiri of Sky Moving, she told me to give her ? on the spot - an inventory of all the items to be moved. That should have been a red flag, because one of the things that set apart reliable, quality-service movers from crappy ones is how they take inventory. The former either give you a list on paper to itemize (to be sent back to them), or send a representative over to do inventory. On-the-spot verbal inventory is a sure sign of crappy service. It is also very inaccurate because one cannot remember everything every time. For me, there were items I forgot to include and didn?t realize it till much later. According to Sky?s quotation, the rates were based on weight and had a ?Tariff Discount?. Never heard of ?Tariff Discount?. I guessed it was intended to give the false impression that Sky provided the ?lowest? rate. It sure looked that way on paper. However, the quotation didn?t matter. Because Sky wasn?t the one that came by to do the moving. The one that did showed up went by a completely different rate and led to a much higher cost. I called Sky again on June 17 to reaffirm the address, date and transport vehicle (smaller than semi-truck). A man on the other line reaffirmed it all. Sunday, June 27 came. Waited till late afternoon, but no phone call from the driver as promised by Shiri. I left two messages on the office phone, in part expressing my concern that no driver was going to show up. Then at 7pm, a woman (#512-981-9417) called to tell me that a driver named Bobby would be coming the next day (Monday). She gave me his number (after I asked her for it), from which I called him. He told me ? over two calls ? that our items would be picked up on Monday and delivered on Tuesday. He did not tell me straight up; I had to ask him specifically. By that time, I had an uneasy feeling that there would be more problems to come.

This company will punish you for hiring them. Their intentionally deceptive business practices and lack of ethics result in nothing short of fraud and extortion. Their initial quote was ignored the moment I hired them. They double billed me for the car shipment and added thousands to my bill. The contract they presented me looked nothing like the quote. The movers said to call the office, the office said, ""you signed the contract"". Their business model relies on the customer's inability to switch movers at the last second and on the fact that they hold all your belongings. They add charges continuously throughout the process and threaten to charge you with exorbitant storage fees if you don't pay immediately and in cash. Unfortunately, businesses like this one do not need rely on repeat business so they feel they can get away with anything. Avoid at absolutely all costs. more

Majority of the ""positive"" reviews are not actual customer experiences, and are completely false! They are also very easy to spot. Whoever wrote them probably work for the company. The following are the most obvious examples: - Dorathy1234: claimed to use Sky Moving ""for the second time"" in one paragraph, and later claimed ""first move with Sky Moving"" in another paragraph. - Vanessawright: wrote company's name in all uppercase, and review contains excessive flowery expressions but no description of actual moving experience. - jay1960 & ange84: two different ""customers"" but identical review - akhtar01 & steven11: username's location does not match either moving locations in the review. - cher60014: claimed Sky Moving showed up at her locations even though they are not in FL, and Sky Moving contracted out-of-state moves to local companies in the area. - nid1969 & c-107: claimed quotation and final costs were the same, even though additional stops were later included (and therefore would be incur further costs). - jeremiah1971: used too many promotional slogans, sounded like a Lifetime movie. - many1: claimed that the service was not expected of a moving company even though he has used Sky Moving twice. - william2009: claimed the move cost $990 from FL to TN, plus extra for packing (that wasn't part of quotation). Approach the rest of the ""positive"" reviews with suspicion. I also recommend searching on the Internet for every review you can find. So that you have the entire of what Sky Moving & Storage truly is. You can also find them on Ripoff Report. more

Just used Sky Moving and Storage for the second time - just as great of an experience! Couldn't ask for a higher level of care, professionalism, and dependability. They are the way to go! more

This was my third move. I always moved with a different company and it was never the same because of the poor service but this time it was very different. SKY MOVING AND STORAGE? provides amazing moving services. Their business transparency is the key source of their prosperity. They understood my requirement and catered to my needs accordingly. I had no problem tipping the movers from SKY MOVING AND STORAGE?. They worked really hard in the heat and finished loading all my things by the end of the day. The guys were cordial and built up a healthy appetite after lugging some of my humongous couches around the house. Thank you, I will recommend you guys to everyone.

From start to finish, our moving experience with sky Moving and Storage was absolutely exceptional. Every facet of the move was impeccably handled with ability, competence, and incredibly hard work (Our new apartment is a 6th floor walk-up.) They provided extra boxes and tape when we ran out, helped to pack what we hadn't finished before they arrived, and dismantled and reassembled several pieces of furniture. When we unexpectedly hit a snag that caused us a 20 minute delay, Joe and his team took it in stride, handling the problem with grace and professionalism. I was very impressed with sky moving & I recommend them to all Google?s.? more

I had a 5 bedroom home in the Miami area of FL and I was moving to a 4 bedroom but larger home in South Carolina due to my retiring, the need to be by family, get more for my money and relax at this point in time of my life. A friend who used sky moving and storage. He used them to move to Georgia from Miami and then back to Miami again. Anyway, I had moved in the past from apartments to apartments and from my last apt to my home in Miami so I'm familiar with Movers. The manager, told me the company had years of experience and that they have other business and sometimes people confuse them all, apparently Moving and Storage is just one of their Businesses. They told me that once they give me a quote, that is the price, period, no changes, no surprise endings. As long as what I tell them was truthful. As I began to describe all that I had. They said they needed to come by and view it in person. David came to my home and took inventory of everything and suggested ways for me to pack in order to keep the cost down. i.e.: Boxes not Bags. And suggested wrapping etc. and they can get these materials, if needed, at very reasonable prices. As I thought about all the work I would have to do, I asked them if they do packing as well and they said YES. So I had them do it and move it. They sent some people to pack days earlier and it took those two days to pack. I think it would have taken me two weeks. Fortunately I had a month from the date I originally called them. Nevertheless, we planned everything step by step in order to time the packing and to be able to move me next day. It all went smoothly. My favorite part was how they wrapped my furniture. My dining hutch, fragile wood armoire and my white couch was wrapped in blankets and super sized plastic wrap along with some other valuable items. I have never seen that done before. I flew into Columbia SC and met them at my new place. They unloaded everything where I told them to, unwrapped the furniture and cleaned up the plastic and paper and left. That was so stress free, I was so pleased. Other Note: I paid for the materials and the packing services separately, of which they gave me a quote for, also well before hand. That gave me time to check out places like Public Storage/ Post Office / Lowes and other packing places and they were indeed very affordable on the materials. I was told the cost upfront and I had no changes or surprises upon delivery. (No extra cost for the plastic and blanket wrapping- that was standard and included in their move cost/quote). more

When I had to move from Lafayette IN to Little Rock I put in a fair amount of research into getting a good moving company after all I had heard numerous horror stories from my friends who had a lot of their stuff damaged in the process of moving. So I filled out an online request and researched the three companies that contacted me first. Of the three I found Sky Moving and Storage to be the most reliable and with a solid reputation also they gave me a better price than the others. They came to pick up my stuff on time, did the packaging for us and did not change the quote after all the things were packed. Also they delivered my things on time and safely. Sky Moving and Storage provides wonderful service. more

Moving is never fun, but with David and his crew at sky moving and storage, it went as well as could be hoped. They were very accurate with their estimates of time and cost for the move, showed up on time, and took care of everything. They were very efficient at packaging all the delicate items, and happy to take care of any odd items, things that needed to be disassembled, or things we had forgotten to pack.\r I would heartily recommend sky moving and storage to anyone who is looking.\r more

I have nothing but praises for their crew. My move was a bit complicated. I moved my apartment and had two stops on the way to pick up a bedroom set that my parents gave me and an old heavy big screen my friend was throwing away after he got himself a shiny new plasma. His trash, my sales. Kim explained to me that my plan to start the day at my parents house before moving on to pick up my stuff, it wasn?t advisable because there?s this thing called double drive time in moving, and it will be advisable to arrange my pick ups and drop offs in one short straight geographical line. She said they?ll do whatever I prefer, but I was glad she pointed it out and change plans with my mom accordingly, and saved a few good bucks. The crew they sent was outstanding. They came energized and just worked hard for me. Truly appreciated. more

My experience with sky moving started with a clear quote with itemized cost. And it's exactly what I paid at the end with no hidden cost or extra charge. more

I used sky moving company for my local move here in Orlando FL. I had a very good experience starting with the sales person (Claudia) all the way to the movers and operations personnel. The moving team arrived on time and packed up everything from my 4 bed room townhome and delivered it to my new home and set everything up within the first 5 hours. In addition, they delivered my old refrigerator to my friend and old washer and dryer to a temple. The entire team of three people was very accommodating, caring and professional. When they say ""no hidden charges"", they really mean it. I got charged for exactly what they quoted as hourly charges. I will recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat more

Sky moving made my move a very quick and pleasant one. My life had become very hectic and crazy with the sale of my town home - but sky moving took the worry out of my move by taking the pressure off and helping me with every aspect of their service - be it small or large. The initial contact went without a flaw - even though my moving date was within days of my call. The foreman and his men that showed up were MORE than friendly and helpful - wrapping up the large items and even packing up my last few items that I had missed. My move was just across town but they were just as focused as if it were cross country. They took great care in handling my ""stuff"". Even after the fact two weeks later - I noticed that a vacuum attachment had been lost thru the move - sky moving customer service stepped up to the plate and offered me compensation. Truly a great company that I will without a doubt use for my future moves. more
