Customers Trust MovingPlace
They worked so hard. I was very pleased with them. A lot of up and down stairs with boxes of books. I had so many kitchen boxes it was almost a joke we had. My new kitchen is not as big as my old one. A would recommend them highly.

Excellent work, great customer service. I hired 2 movers for 2 hours to unload my POD, 8x8x8. It was about 200' away from my apartment entrance, but they were able to accommodate the distance. Additionally, the manager, Mr. Noah Brown, helped out in the end free of charge to help out in the end. They safely moved all my furniture and boxes and even helped assemble my bedframe. I'd say they are a bit persistent with asking for me to leave a review lol, but I get it, it's important to the business, and I'm happy to provide my testimonial.

Bob and John from MovingZoom arrived right on time, and they got our storage unit loaded up in record time! They were incredibly efficient and made sure that all of our boxes were stacked properly for shipment, and they wrapped all our furniture carefully in order to better prevent damage in shipment. They also helped provide suggestions for how to load the remainder of our lighter objects. We couldn’t have done our move without them, and we would strongly recommend MovingZoom for anyone in the area!

The team showed up promptly, were friendly, helpful and unloaded quickly. They also organized my belongings neatly, better than I would have done and in much faster time. I have managed many material and dock handlers in my career and wish I had had them on my team. Highly recommend them as they did an outstanding job and made my life easier during my very stressful cross state move.

I would definitely recommend Moving Kings! They were very professional and knowledgeable. They were careful to not scratch the floors while moving.

We were told that the team would work with us for two hours, scheduled for 10-12 today. And that they would show up between 9 and 10 a.m. Alex was here ahead of time and Jamal showed up soon after. We finished unloading the 16' pod in an hour and everything was put where we wanted it and without damage. It was a pleasure to work with them.
