Positive Customer Reviews

Safeway Moving has hundreds of positive reviews on BestCompany.com. Customers are fans of the company’s no-hidden-fee policy. Many say they are satisfied with the company’s transparent pricing and that they were charged the amount they were quoted for their move.

Positive reviews also mentioned the professionalism and timeliness of the company’s movers.

Free Moving Quotes

When moving, it is always a good idea to get pricing quotes from several moving companies to see which would be the best fit for your move. Safeway Moving provides free quotes via email or over the phone.

No Hidden Fees

Some moving companies provide quotes that are inaccurate, too low, or that do not mention fees or additional charges that a customer could potentially incur. Safeway Moving is different in that it promises customers that it does not charge hidden fees or add on extra charges.

The company quotes movers a flat rate price, or hourly rate, and does not charge for travel time back and forth between counties as some companies do.

Packing, Unpacking, and Storage Solutions

In addition to moving, Safeway Moving can pack and unpack your belongings as a part of your move. The company utilizes appropriate packing, crushing, and labeling protocols to effectively and efficiently protect your belongings.

Safeway Moving offers its customers personal and commercial storage solutions, including for those moving internationally. Items are stored in wooden storage vaults equipped with anti-theft security alarm systems.

Customers can start renting storage space anytime and are charged monthly with the first month’s rent being free as an introductory special. As a benefit, Safeway Moving promises to match or beat its competitors' storage pricing, so movers looking for storage should shop around to guarantee the lowest price.

International Reach

Because international moves can be more complicated and stressful, Safeway Moving is committed to making the process run smoothly. The company has seventeen international licensees and relationships with more than 300 preferred global partners. While it seems Safeway specializes in moves within North America, it encourages customers to call their customer service reps for information on moves outside of the United States and Canada.

As a bonus, Safeway Moving's move coordinators can help guide customers through a variety of questions that may arise during an international move. The company can provide information on the destination country, climate, schools, and shipping regulations that can affect what movers are allowed to transport into the country.

Works with Condo Associations

Many condo associations require moving companies to verify licensing, insurance, and credentials to mitigate risk. It is common for most moving companies to carry the minimum insurance policy required by law which is $750,000. Safeway Moving carries a 1 million dollar insurance policy and carries current licensing.

The Bad

No Pricing Information Online
Some Negative Reviews
No Cleaning Services

No Pricing Information Online

Many moving companies will offer movers a way to obtain a moving cost estimate online. This is convenient and makes comparing several moving companies’ quotes quick and easy. Safeway Moving does not provide any baseline pricing information on its website, so movers must call or email the company directly for a quote.

Some Negative Reviews

While the majority of the company’s online reviews are glowing, some negative reviews say they were charged hidden fees after they were told there wouldn’t be any. Potential customers should carefully review quotes, read the fine print in contracts, and ask for clarification on moving costs if there are areas that could be ambiguous.

No Cleaning Services

Some moving services companies advertise a larger variety of services that can make a move easier and more convenient for customers such as cleaning services, move planners, and information specifically to assist with military moves.

gavel

The Bottom Line

Safeway Moving's full-service coverage can be very helpful for those moving long distances. The company’s storage service also provides customers with a convenient solution to storage needs when they arrive at their destination; no finding and arranging delivery to a separate storage facility.

Overall, we are impressed by Safeway’s promise of flat rate moving quotes with no hidden fees, as well as its price match or beat guarantee for its storage services.

Robert Snider Anchorage, AK

I never expected to be able to say anything good about movers after all that happened on the journey to CT. But seriously, these guys are awesome. Everything discussed, as well as pricing and policies, is available on their website. They showed there promptly, were polite and prepared, and finished the job in half the time we had anticipated. I looked for indications of damage to our furniture after they left, but I didn't discover any, so I'm going to believe they were careful. To avoid confrontation with the people responsible for bringing us here, please turn around. I would cheerfully refer them to anybody who asked, and if we ever had to move again (which we better not do since I'm sick of it), they would be the only movers I would really consider using.

I hired them for overseas relocation, and everything has gone smoothly. The service we got from our movers in the UT was totally up-to-the-mark. Our movers did a lit work, and the operations staff was proficient and attentive. They told me about their plans of packing and wrapping my double bed with a matching dresser and footrest. Due to some urgent work, I had to delay my move a day, and they agreed on it and got in touch with me on short notice because our relocation date came up unexpectedly. That's brilliant work. The movers helped with packing, particularly with covering and moving the furniture.

What a brilliant bunch of people Safeway Moving System contains. Their customer dealing strikes you at first and then talking of their affordable rates and the quality of both the services and their materials makes it a wholesome experience. If you need an all-in-one package for moving Safeway Moving System should be your choice. My belongings contained some very expensive stuff in them taking care of them and making sure that nothing gets a single scratch on them was not child's play. I must say the value they give their customers and the respective bond they share among themselves is the key to their success. Growing on this fast is wholly their teamwork and hard work. I wanted to congratulate the team on their success and request they maintain the quality of the work and keep on working as they do. No better movers exist but them.

Incredible! I can't say enough the best things about the service I received from Safeway Moving System. In addition to offering far cheaper costs than rivals, they also excelled in customer service. The company is reliable, and Jeffrey and his group are well-trained. They have extensive knowledge and experience in their field, making them experts from a professional aspect. We had a lot of stuff, and they filled the Uphaul and maximized storage capacity to store a lot of luggage and ensure the safety of every item. Also, they were quite pleasant to deal with, polite, and diligent. After the movers completed the relocation, the manager called us after the move to get feedback, and I gave them five stars because they deserved it. When we received the final estimate, which was the same as the initial move, I was amazed. The company also offered the facility to pay the bill online, which was also a huge facility for customers. It's not been easy to move, but you managed so well.

Thanks for the excellent service I received from your company's two delivery men. On a Saturday, Brian and Terry from your company delivered a projector to my house in IA. Despite the freezing that left my driveway covered in ice (which I greatly appreciated, the last thing I wanted was a stranded delivery truck in my driveway), The heavy pieces of furniture were delivered to my back door after being dragged up my roughly 350-foot driveway. My footrest was also very safely delivered because it was newly purchased. I thank them for the prompt and safe delivery. I highly praise your value and expertise.

In the past five years, I've used the Safeway Moving System team at least six times, and no matter how difficult I thought the situation would be, they always made it incredibly simple and quick for me. Both Stephen and the rest of the team are exceptional. They have always been very careful with my belongings and completed everything on time and correctly. Stephen guided arranging furniture to maximize space when I put some things in storage and made sure I left the door to a clothes washer I was holding open to avoid dampness so my belongings would stay clean and secure. The owner is always welcoming and helpful, and the team is also excellent.

I recently relocated locally with Safeway Moving System. The entire process, from the beginning to the end, left me confident about my choice. The entire team was amazing and considerate. They were friendly and kept me laughing the entire time. I liked being able to text the spokesman to arrange the move; he was very helpful in answering all my questions. Since I live alone and this was my first time hiring movers, I was a little anxious. However, as soon as they introduced themselves, my anxiety subsided. I was rendered speechless and ecstatic by the way they handled everything. I appreciate Safeway Moving System for making my move simple! This company is the one to choose if you're looking for trustworthy movers.

Safeway Moving System did brilliant work. During the move, there was no damage; I never expected perfection. This stuff was incredibly bulky and heavy. It was moved quickly, and they even took care of the paint. It took me some time to review because I got really busy after moving in. since I hired them to move, I'm incredibly appreciative of their work. A superb team that pays attention to detail and listens. Clear what you want, and people will listen to you and comply. Despite this being my first time using movers, I have no major complaints. Great guys completed excellent work quickly and for a very affordable price. No one else will ever do such great work!

I am an artist; I paint my heart out on canvas and fill it with love and colors. The paintings have my heart, and I had to deliver them to the clients, but all declined when I described the massive size and weight. Like always Safeway Moving System was there to help me out. One of the clients lived in NV, while the other one was in CA. I needed someone I could trust blindly. So Safeway Moving System was obviously my first choice, they never disappoint me. Wilson came by to pick up the paintings and deliver them. He is a friendly person, and easy to deal with this time I asked him for extra favors, and he made it the same. Not just me, my clients were also pleased by Wilson, they tipped Wilson with extra money. When I heard the satisfactory comments of my clients, everything went well. Thanks to Safeway Moving System and Wilson for always having my back in my hour of need.

My mother and father are obsessed with Safeway Moving System. At first, I was annoyed by them always asking to call Safeway Moving System for the smallest or even in-house moves but then I saw them completing a move under my inspection, Whoa! Their obsession was so worthwhile. These boys are amazingly talented and passionate about their work. Seeing them lifting furniture loads from curvy surfaces with care and taking care of tiny details made inspired me to the next level. The whole move from MO to NY took me around 5 hours because of them which was another shocking thing to see, and the best part was their charges, I was not expecting such economical rates in times like today. It was overall an outstanding experience; I must say these guys deserve much appreciation for their hard work and dedication.

We've already used Safeway Moving System three times, and every time they were great. It was easy the first time he moved, but the second and third times were huge projects. Half of her things had to be shipped to a new apartment in one city, and the other half had to be shipped to a new apartment in another city. We kept some other things to give to charity. The crew was very talkative, and I enjoyed being with them. I admire their helpful, knowledgeable, efficient work and good outcomes at the end. They went above and beyond to handle the fragile things being shipped, and nothing broke. Mind-blowing guys! It would help if you used Safeway Moving System no matter how old or heavy your packages are.

The movers were efficient and careful in completing our move. The service was excellent in every way! The initial abode was an apartment on the third floor of a building without a lift, but the mood was bright and welcoming regardless of the weather (it was +30 degrees outdoors). We found the previous owner's washing machine, which he had left behind in the new home, missing from its current location after the Safeway Moving System boys had moved in. Never before has a relocation been handled with such efficiency and professionalism; I enthusiastically endorse their services. The best team and service, period.

In light of the challenges of relocating to a new area, I was concerned about how I would do everything independently. I'm relieved that I found Safeway Moving System because their moving services are top-notch. They were extremely helpful and went out of their way to make my relocation as easy as possible. In addition to being quite reasonable, their pricing structure was open and forthcoming. The crew was prompt, and once they got there, they started to work. Safeway Moving System was waiting for me when I got to my new place of employment to help me unload and unpack. Wow, look at their professionalism! They ensured everything fit where it should and even helped me assemble some furniture.

I have nothing but praise for Safeway Moving System. Our move was so simple, thanks to the team! Moving out of state can be difficult and stressful, but these guys made it simple! Anthony answered all of my questions day or night and helped me understand how to move two households down to NY right from the start. They then dispatched their expert packers. I didn't think we'd be able to pack everything, but Jones and Traylor took on the task quickly and expertly. Jose was present to help with the process and provide information while safeguarding and inventorying all of my possessions. Whether I was moving across town or across the country, I had the best team!

I have worked in the military and government for more than 20 years, and during that time, I have never encountered packers and loaders who have treated me with such respect and politeness. Everything about the experience was fantastic! A representative from Safeway Moving System initially met with us to discuss the details of our move, took pictures of each furniture grouping and the items we intended to pack or move, and provided us with a ballpark estimate of the cost. On the day of the move, they show up on time and work quickly to ensure that everything goes as planned. The final team of movers provided excellent service and did a fantastic job, and our belongings then arrived at their final location, all in excellent working order.

I recently used these Movers to help me shift from WY to CA; though it was long and tiring, these legit movers still made it a smooth process. I had whole apartment furniture with my art pieces which I cared about the most. It was my work for the past two years, and I had to sell all of them in an exhibition soon. I made myself clear to the call representative beforehand, and these pals took great care of my work as if it was of gold. I am grateful to Richard and the movers for making it possible. They made things go swimmingly from start to finish. Very much satisfied and in love with these pros.

We chose Safeway Moving System to transport the few remaining goods from our basement to our new home in NJ after deciding to sell our house. Since we couldn't return, they cooperated with us via email and phone. Then they quickly grabbed our stuff, packed it up, and prepared it for its foreign adventure. With international shipping in disarray because of the epidemic, we appreciated Safeway Moving System’s fair pricing and punctual delivery. Even though it took months for the shipment to arrive, everything was well-packaged and easily rolled into our storage container by the movers. Jonathan and Nicholson were great to work with; I would use them again in a heartbeat. Safeway Moving System gave good service at a fair price given our time frame and needs.

Don't hesitate for a moment to hire Safeway Moving System. We had the finest moving experience of our life. James and his team arrived within the anticipated timeframe, brought all the necessary equipment (such as furniture covers, blankets, bubble wraps) evaluated our move and provided us with a more precise quotation (you can also acquire a general quote over the phone), and then started working right away. My husband observed the relocation and said they were fantastic the entire time. When I arrived at our new home a few hours later, everything was set up nicely. They also disassembled our furniture at our previous residence and put it back together at the new residence. WOW! We highly recommend and appreciate Safeway Moving System assistance.

My spouse and I relocated to a new apartment in MI. We've moved previously with a company whose service was not good. We weren't sure we could find a reliable partner to move all of our belongings, but we chose Safeway Moving System based on the reviews because they have earned a 5-star rating. Staff called me before the week of our move to confirm the appointment. They maintained fantastic communication throughout the entire process. I was pleased when the movers arrived 15 minutes early on the moving day. The men were incredibly careful with our belongings. The first estimate provided by the office was remarkably accurate in terms of their professionalism and competence. Given the excellent service, the cost was quite fair. I will undoubtedly employ them again.

You don't need to look for more moving companies because Safeway Moving System is always there to serve you. You are squandering your money if you spend money on any other moving company. I got in touch with Safeway Moving System, and Thank you to my closest buddy who suggested me because he relocated with them from NY to KS a few months ago. The team I worked with was the most responsible. He immediately responded to my question, and our agreement was finalized in a matter of minutes. Jaxon and his team arrived on schedule and started to work immediately. They are pleasant and competent. We needed to remove a sofa from our downstairs, and Another business that bid on the work claimed that moving was "difficult." Edwards picked up the sofa and lifted it over the railing, around 14 feet high. This company's movers' packing, loading, and delivery process was simply admirable. Call these professionals to handle your relocation and save money and hassles. Undoubtedly, the Top-Notch service!

When it comes to moving, Safeway Moving System is the real deal! I recently employed their services for a long-distance move and was completely impressed by their expertise. I was relocating from KS to TX and wanted to safely transfer a lot of big furniture and fragile stuff. I was concerned about the entire procedure, but Safeway Moving System put all my concerns to rest with their professional services. I'll admit that I was initially skeptical because I'd had some poor experiences with movers. The team, on the other hand, was unique. They were forthright and honest about their costs and services. They even supplied a thorough pricing breakdown prior to the transfer, so I knew precisely what to expect.

Safeway Moving System is the dope mover firm I was looking for; I've been shifting over the previous 5 years and have never encountered a mover crew like them. Matthew was extremely skilled and capable movers. The other junior boys packaged the stuff with care and quality products I had never seen before. Aside from the move quality, time management, and price, the squad was also a lot of fun to be around. Matthew kept cracking jokes, and they all worked together like minions to bolster their energy. They are dependable, and I will put my trust in Safeway Moving System for future relocations. Trust me, and give them a shot.

Safeway Moving System is simply phenomenal; I'd hire these again in a heartbeat. They were hired at the 11th hour, though, but they still managed to bring all the necessary items for relocation. I didn't have to do anything. The crew did each and everything on their own; our delicate antiques were handled very cautiously, and the level of attention they provided was priceless. They treated my granny's good as if they were of gold, and she still talks about Gregory and Jonathan for their kind and gentle attitude.

It was my first professional relocation. David reply was prompt and to the point. He was good at calculating the number of laborers and hours needed to complete the task. He always responded to answer all my questions. When purchasing a house, it is a relief that dates may change significantly because the original payment required to retain the date was reasonable. The men arrived on time for the move and were eager to start. Before this, I had to load the truck by myself each time I moved, which was 10 times. David and his crew loaded this 26-foot truck professionally, safely, and to my satisfaction, although I am quite fussy and irritated. My wife was in charge of organizing the duties and answering questions regarding the order of importance and the men fully understood and acknowledged her concerns. I was quite pleased by their high-end performance!

They're genuine pros when it comes to moving, and they went over and beyond to ensure that my move went smoothly. First and foremost, the group that came to pack my belongings was phenomenal. They wasted no time getting to work. They used all the proper materials to safeguard my belongings and were careful not to harm things. Plus, they were a pleasure to converse with while working. Timothy and the crew worked like a well-oiled machine, knowing precisely what they were doing and wasting no time. They were also pleasant and enjoyable to spend time with; we laughed a lot. But here's where Safeway Moving System really went the extra mile: while unloading my belongings, they observed that one of my boxes was broken. They opened it up to check on everything and discovered that one of my favorite albums had been smashed. I was disappointed, but the team went out and purchased me a new copy of the record! They weren't required to do anything, but they did it anyhow because they're that awesome. I would strongly recommend Safeway Moving System to anyone in need of a shift. They're the best in the biz.

I lived down in SC, where barely any mover came, it is away from the city life so fewer people visit this place and so lesser moving firms to help. I called several companies and tried to convince but none of them agreed to help me move or were asking for extra money which I couldn’t afford. I finally tried Safeway Moving System and they agreed to help seeing how desperate I was for help. They even didn’t ask for any extra or hidden charges. The way to SC is steep and it’s hard to reach there but they managed to reach there on time, my move was a whole example of hassle-free and smooth work. These boys were unimaginably professional and experienced. Their charges were so reasonable, and they stayed calm and respectful. Grateful for the whole operation.

I planned to shift from UT, and move to IL, being alone in the state having no one to help, no family or friends. I knew Safeway Moving System from a very long time ago when I shifted into this apartment at that time, they were the ones who helped and were the only affordable option. For that reason, as I had this exceptional move with them, they were the only movers in my mind. I was relaxed being familiar with their work. This time their services got even better than they were but their rates were still economical comparatively. They were right on time, knocked on my door at exactly 5 pm as anticipated, Alexander already knew my place because he came over before for an estimation of the required stuff. The whole process was undergoing smoothly, my possession was carefully handled as if they belong to the movers themselves and all my delicate stuff was beautifully wrapped. Being alone was quite a hectic task for me to do but with my movers, it was easy and simple. Thank you, boys.

My parents recently retired and moved to Florida. They set up a moving company to help them get all their items down there so they could start to relax and enjoy their well-earned retirement. Unfortunately, the "company" they decided to use ended up being just a scam. The day of their move my folks were frantically calling as no one showed to do the move. They had given a deposit of $1500 and no one came! Their house was sold and they had to be out within the next several days. My mother called me crying. This is when I stepped in and called Safeway (as recommended to me by a coworker). Not only did were they able to accommodate my parents, but they were also so kind and understanding along the way. I can't say enough about this company. They saved my family from a disaster. Thank you so much, Safeway.

So my representatives name was Zachary, he was so helpful from start to finish, he pretty much held our hand because this was our first time doing a long distance move. I saw how they were rank #1 for accurate pricing, because I’m sure we’ve all heard those stories of the movers showing up and charging $1,000s of dollars more. Not to get off topic too quick but a good friend of mine did a long distance move a few years back and he didn’t look into the company that he was hiring. He put down a deposit the day he book the move and then come pick up day they demanded an extra $3,500 more dollars or they won’t take the furniture. His lease ended that day and he was stuck on the side of the road with everything he owned because he didn’t have the additional money to pay for it. That’s why it was so important for me to choose Safeway. Zachary and I went over item by item on the phone and made an inventory so I was able to get accurate pricing. Come pick-up day, lo and behold, the price was exactly what they said it would be. And as far as the move itself, they couldn’t have done a better job handling the furniture. I never write reviews lol. So yeah, check them out if you’re looking for a company to hire for a long-distance move!

I reserved my move with Safeway for my move from California to Florida recently and they were super accommodating to all of our family's needs. They are professional, movers wore masked and they took exceptional care of my items. Also my Relocation expert Will R was so knowledgeable and patient, i never moved that distance so i had NO idea what to do but he took his time to provide an accurate quote and answered every question i had no matter how many times i emailed him. Overall i had a great experience with Safeway and would definitely recommend to others and use again for my moves in the future!! Thanks Safeway!!

Let me start with saying.. I have a lot of furniture (chairs, lamps, side tables, etc.) and small (fragile) objects. As an interior designer, I have a full apartment and studio/office. Not to toot my own horn but.. most is designer and its all very special to me. Choosing a mover can be super intimidating/frustrating. After calling several companies and getting low ball prices to lock me in, with lots of "pricing will be determined once the truck is actually packed", I didn't want to take the risk. Safeway was able to give me straightforward pricing, realistic transport time, and answer all my "worst case scenario" questions.

Safeway was a real helping hand. Our move was planned a month in advanced with some other company. That other company ended up canceling on us last minute. My wife and I were so stressed and upset, not only did they cancel, they did not return the $700 deposit without a fight. Regardless, Safeway was initially our second choice before we elected for a scammer. We reached out to Safeway and Gerard was so gracious and helpful over the phone. He eased our minds right away. I wish we stuck with Gerard and Safeway initially but alas we went for a cheaper price. That said, Safeway came the next day and moved us out of our Baltimore apartment and delivered our items to New York the very same day. I can not thank them enough. They were there when we needed them and they did not give us a single worry from the moment they arrived. I recommend this company to anyone. ~ Thomas Martins

I recently moved to New Jersey and used Safeway moving as my coordinator. They were a pleasant team to work with. They helped organize my move in a quick and easy fashion. I moved from Chicago and took on a new role in my company. Lucky for me, my company covered my cost to move. Safeway was the only company I found to work with easily to facilitate the funds to be transferred without any strange requests. I had booked with another mover and my company had strict requirements to work with movers. I had to cancel with the other mover and book for a same week move out. David and his team at Safeway were quick to act and I’m grateful for that. The move was obviously a success otherwise I wouldn’t be writing this. I encourage you the readers to make safeway your next mover. They will help you in tight situations like they helped me.

I had hired Safeway to help move my aunt and uncle to their retirement home in Florida. Safeway offered a quick delivery and a fair price. They had boasted a fantastic reputation and I was eager to see how they would handle such a strange move. my aunt and uncle have hundreds of collectibles and I wanted to make sure their valuables were handled with great care. hundreds of unique pieces of china and trinkets that they collected over the years. Safeway offered a very careful operation. Their agent was prompt and reliable from start to finish. I was very happy with the results which is why I am writing this review. Moving my aunt and uncle (both retired vet's) was stressful for my self and them two. Safeway organized a seamless operation. I am thankful A+ for price A+ for timelyness A+ thoroughness

Safeway Moving Systems moved me from Kansas to Florida recently - and yes I’m a REAL customer - and I couldn’t be happier with how the move went. I’m constantly moving about every 3 years or so, so I have a lot of experience with long distance professional moving companies. I’ve had good experiences & I’ve had total nightmares. So I know what to look for and what questions to ask when finding a moving company. They were not the cheapest quote but they were definitely the most honest. My final price ended up being a bit higher than the original estimate but I added a lot of boxes the week of the move. It’s common sense- you add more, you pay for that space. However, I was able to finalize my inventory with their quality assurance department before the move so that I wasn’t stuck finding out the final price on the day of the move- other companies have backed me into a corner with this tactic leaving me no other option and forced to pay. Safeway made sure we had all our bases covered before the day of pickup. I was really nervous with my grandmother’s antiques in particular, but the crew showed up on time, they were extremely kind and professional, and really took the extra time and care with these items. I had no damages or missing items in Florida! They didn’t give me false hope with delivery timelines - which has also happened to me in the past - so I was able to prepare accordingly for my arrangements during delivery time. Again, I move every few years due to work, and I can finally say I’ve found the one and only moving company I’ll be using from here forward! Thanks Safeway and team!

I had no idea what to expect when I first began to Shop around. I moved from California a few weeks ago and the whole process was more stressful for my family than expected. I had hired Safeway after speaking with several companies. Safeway was pricier but their reputation made me comfortable. When speaking with them, I felt at ease. I had spent a week shopping around and the more I did the less I wanted to actually move. I selected Safeway because it just felt right. Every time I emailed or called they had the right answers. This was my first big move (for a job) and it was the right decision for my family. We sold off a lot of items between the time we booked the move and the actual move date. Safeway reassessed my move cost a few days before the move which brought my price down. The whole move took 4 hours to load. The price was $200 off but I was ok with it. I did forget a few items that needed to be boxed up. I wouldn’t be writing this review if I felt they were not doing the best job they could. During a global pandemic you want to make sure your family is safe during the whole move. I felt my family and our items were in safe hands with this company. Charlie and his team did a great job. I’m thankful for selecting this company.

I hired Safeway to help move my family from Chicago to New York. I had limited expectations but I needed help. My cousin used Safeway and their local agent in the past and had very little issues working with them. I had to move a two bedroom. My company luckily was covering the cost. I had a pleasant experience with the representative over the phone. I sent them videos of what I needed to move and I received a price within an hour. The movers arrived on time and packed everything. They boxed up my art work. They helped arrange a date that suited my building in New York. The whole move took about a week. I am glad to write this review. My family is happy with the results. What more can I ask for? Moving is rough. Safeway Moving was a pleasure to work with.

I had a last minute move from Florida to Georgia originally booked with another company, at the last minute they cancelled due to likely getting a longer more lucrative move. Obviously, I was furious with this moving company and needed to make other arrangements quickly. The move needed to be done 3 days from when the original mover cancelled on me. I called Safeway and quickly found a great solution. It being so last minute, everything went smoother than I expected. From the professionalism of the movers to the attentive customer service rep and dispatch. Overall, very pleased with my experience and would recommend Safeway to anyone.

I booked my move from Costa Mesa, California to Raleigh, North Carolina with Safeway back in October. Due to the cost of living just becoming outrageous in California and my wife and I living on our retirement. We decided that we need to move our home and 30 years of memories. We were hesitant to use any moving company to move all of our antiques and family heirlooms. However since my wife and I not being able to move everything ourselves, we decided to contact Safeway. Best decision we made. The process was explained thoroughly from the very start. Everyone was very pleasant as eager to assist us. When the movers arrived, they handled our precious valued items with the care we were hoping for and very professional. We were very flexible with the delivery time being that we knew the high demand of people leaving the state like us. We were very impressed with the time it made it to us on the east coast. At delivery, all of our items were reassembled and all the services we paid for were rendered in a satisfactory manner. Although we plan on continuing to enjoy our retirement in our new home, we don't plan on moving anytime soon but would highly recommend Safeway moving.

Used Safeway Moving System from NJ to Cali. Got a quick quote and the whole process was very seamless. We sold our house and wanted to keep most of our furniture so it was a fairly big move, some pieces were fairly vintage and fragile but everything arrived from door to door fairly quickly and unscathed. Final price paid was exactly what I was quoted. The entire process was extremely easy. Reading on reddit some of the other companies people used had me worried but Safeway definitely exceeded my expectations. I'll recommend them to friends and family as people are moving around the country more to accommodate new working environments.

PLEASE DO NOT! This company is the biggest scam ever. Let me get started with clarifying that this is a moving brokerage. This should make you stay away, even if they deny it. The Sales rep, Jay C, is rude and disrespectful and a liar. This should have been a red flag and I should have stopped it right there. I was caught in a stressful moment and did not realize that on the estimate, half of my items were missing. I did send him an email asking if there was any additional cost I should be aware of, which he denied in writing. Next, the moving coordinator Maria L is the worst moving helper. She has no patience or empathy on how stressful an out of state move is. When I was going with her through everything, she confirmed that the extra cost for delivery or pickup will only be charged if the truck cannot park close to the house and will be parked more than 100 feet away. I specifically asked if this also includes the distance within the building, which she denied on tape. Sure enough the company made me pay over $100 because the distance inside the building was too long. When I requested the recording of the audio, I was not send the correct transcript and it was on a word document and clearly altered. Next, the delivery guy told me that he has to rent a truck to deliver the items to my address because he cannot delivery with his semi truck. I told him that he can deliver with his semi truck because there is enough space to which he replied via text that they never do that and that they always rent a truck which was an additional $500. Of course, neither Jay C nor Maria L picked up when I called or returned my calls. Now, needless to say that my moving boxes, which were purposely labeled to indicate if the box was heavy or light, where ripped apart, heavy boxes placed on light boxes, boxes up side down. I could see with my own eyes how the delivery person mishandled the boxes. Several items were broken and are irreplaceable. The claims company used is a scam too. I cannot upload all documents because they all have to be merged into one document, but they don't accept zip files. So how am I supposed to merge all of these documents? Next, I emailed Tashana S from costumer service. She never replied to my email. Now, I spend +3K on a move that was estimated at 3K when I could have used a reputable company and have the aftermath of dealing with the better business bureau. Don't let them fool you if they reply their records don't indicate the move which seems to be their standard reply for all negative reviews here.

I was blown away by how smoothly everything went when I got Safeway Moving System to help me move from CT to IL. Andrew and David; the movers I hired have started moving my furniture, appliances and many other things. They brought all this cool stuff like dollies and furniture cushions to help me move my stuff. These fellas were acers at handling my stuff. They were super careful with my huge couch and my fancy glass collection. They were gentle and careful with my grandma's old oak furniture. I would love to recommend everyone in our fam and friends.

When we moved into our much larger house, our belongings, including our furniture and valuables, were moved with us meticulously. The movers finished our relocation two hours ahead of schedule. Although there was a snowstorm on moving day, they were attentive and cautious in loading and unloading my things. There were no hidden fees and no extra charges. I wouldn't think twice about employing their services for my future relocation. You guys are seriously awesome.
