The Good

  • Positive Customer Reviews
  • Free Moving Quotes
  • No Hidden Fees
  • Storage Solutions
  • International Reach
  • Works with Condo Associations

Positive Customer Reviews

Safeway Moving System has many positive online reviews. Reviewers are often observed sharing their positive view of the company’s no hidden fee policy. Many said they were 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 System 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 System promises its customers that it does not charge hidden fees or add on extra charge. The company quotes movers a flat rate price, or hourly rate, and do not charge for travel time back and forth between counties as some companies do. 

Storage Solutions

Safeway Moving System offers its customers personal and commercial storage solutions, including to 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 System 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 System 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 System’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 System carries $1,000,000 dollar insurance policy and carries current licensing.

The Bad

  • No Pricing Information Online
  • Inconsistent Online Reviews
  • Limited Services Compared to Competitors

No Pricing Information Online

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

Inconsistent Online Reviews

While many of the company’s online reviews were glowing, there did appear to be some inconsistency. Many Safeway Moving System’s reviews give the company a glowing five stars, but there are also many rock-bottom one-star reviews accusing the company of paying for positive reviews online. Negative reviewers often mention that they were charged hidden fees after they were told there wouldn’t be any. Potential customers should carefully review quotes and ask what fees could potentially be charged. 

Limited Services Compared to Competitors

Other 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. The company provides very limited information on car shipping; however, it does appear from some online reviews that customers were able to work with the company on shipping their vehicles.

The Bottom Line

Safeway Moving System has a decades-long history of providing moving services across all 50 states as well as internationally. This 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. 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 their storage services. 

Accusations of fraudulent glowing, five-star reviews give us pause, and we encourage you to research a number of local long-distance movers, full-service movers, and relocation companies near you before making a final decision to ensure that the fees, offers, and services are the best fit for you.

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.

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.

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.

Terrible movers. They were underprepared and unprofessional, don’t hire them if you care about your belongings. We hired Safeway Moving System to help us load a truck with our belongings from a 2 BR apartment. They showed up without any tools for disassembly or anything to tie-down items on the truck. One of the crew members asked my wife for her snapchat account, which is totally unprofessional. I’ve worked with a lot of moving companies and Safeway Moving System is by far the worst.

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.

Workers arrived on time and completed their tasks quickly, thoroughly, and politely. They followed all the rules to rent this place. Even though the "mild" weather was only supposed to last for a short period but everything protected. All my furniture, appliances, and other delicate and common things were well-packed. They had many packing materials like furniture straps, dollies, and shrink wraps, tapes and markers. Again, I greatly appreciate your encouragement and support.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

You shouldn't hesitate to work with Safeway Moving System if you're looking for a team of movers who know how to get the job done right. They are not Safeway Moving System; they are bomb dot com to me; these dudes know how to cover a move like champs; from start to end, our move went so smoothly that it blew my mind off; we faced a tiny issue regarding their arrival they got a bit late to reach my pickup location, but they covered it and loaded my stuff like pros in no time, they were all over my broken sofa set makin sure nothing more than this happens to it. My entire antique, glass and other possessions, including the air conditioner and other electronic appliances, arrived at IL in one piece; with the brilliance of Kevin and Alexander, the work was all done and dusted in a few hours. Their efforts to make their customers satisfied are next level! They're the bee's knees, the cat's meow, and the icing on the cake of a flawless move.

Moving to a new city is always challenging, especially when doing it alone. But thanks to Safeway Moving System movers, my move was as smooth as can be. They took care of everything, leaving me free to focus on settling into my new home. They took a quick tour of my apartment to assess the situation and then got to work. They had all the necessary packing materials, and they packed everything up quickly and efficiently. During the move, the team was friendly, professional, and always ready to answer any questions I had. They kept me informed about their progress and ensured I was comfortable with the process every step of the way. They even helped me remove my bed and other furniture and reassemble everything in my new place. When we arrived at my new home, they helped me carry everything inside and unpacked everything carefully.

I recently moved to a new home and struggled to find the best moving company available on my preferred date. That's when I bumbled upon Safeway Moving System, and I couldn't be more charmed with my experience. Thomas and the whole crew were proficient, punctual, and warm during the relocation. One of the things I appreciated most about them was their lookout for all pieces. Additionally, they were incredibly careful when moving my larger pieces of furniture, ensuring not to damage any walls or floors. The squad, led by Thomas, also provided me with a detailed inventory list of all my items, which gave me peace of mind knowing that everything had been accounted for during the move.

I recently had to move my dresser, bean bags, kitchenware and other important luxurious items to a new apartment. I was in a tricky situation when the moving companies I had booked canceled on me at the last minute. That's when I came across Safeway Moving System, and I must say that they came like a miracle. Even though I had a short amount of time, they were able to adjust my move and showed up on time with their team of great movers. From start to finish, Safeway Moving System provided exceptional service. Their team was mannerly, smart and cautious with all of my items. They wrapped and packed each item properly; it made me happy that I chose to call these mates. They even helped me to arrange my furniture in my new apartment, making a move as smooth as butter.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Safeway Moving Inc. was very communicative in the beginning of our cross-country move, especially when it came to the cost for booking and ensuring we paid the deposit. When they called me for the actual pick up date and time, I then confirmed this multiple times with the person on the phone, and then proceeded to book my flight for the next day to ensure I got back to our home to pack everything else up for the pickup. No one showed up the day of our scheduled pickup and there was zero communication regarding this. It took me calling multiple times that day to figure out what was going on. Turns out they had booked us for the following day, which was not acceptable as I had already booked my return flight home. They were able to send a team that evening (through contracted movers), and these wonderful guys showed up at 8 pm (2 guys followed by 4 others at 10:30 pm). Our original time for pick up was between 8-11 am that day. These poor men worked until 12:30 am to ensure my items were secured into a truck for me to make my flight the next morning, through no fault of their own. Mike, my original point of contact, was no where to be found that day with regards to help aside from putting in an "urgent" message to dispatch. Since this event, I have not been able to talk to anyone regarding my frustrations. Mike does not return calls or messages since our money is now in the pocket of this company. And I have been told daily for the past week that a manager from customer services will be calling me and no one has called back. I have managed an organization before and this is completely unacceptable. The lack of communication or response is absurd. Not to mention I have no idea where my items are. I will refuting the cost associated with the delivery or expecting some sort of compensation from this company, who claims to be trusted and helpful with cross-country moves. I have experienced nothing but stress and frustration.

Oh, how I wish I had read the review on this site before I hired this horrendous company. Like so manny others, I was duped by the salesman -- Arthur T. A consummate salesperson with no desire to help at all once we signed on. He assured me that they would move us like they would move his mother. I feel sorry for his mother. They did the estimate from the online listing of our house and followed it up with having someone from their "quality control" team do a visual walk through of the house with me. As a result of that "meeting", the cost of our move doubled! The only reason I put one star is that the crew of 3 who unloaded our furniture and set it up in our home was terrific. On the other hand the crew that packed and loaded the truck was the worst imaginable. They showed up a day early. We were nowhere near ready but agreed to having them come to accommodate the company. Bad decision. They were bullies with no regard for anything they did. We paid for 7 wardrobes. Not one item of clothing was hung up. Everything was tossed indiscriminately into boxes. They told us they would wrap shoes and put then in the wardrobes. Instead they threw dozens of pairs of shoes indiscriminately into a single box which resulted in a "sea of shoes" for us to sort out at the end of the move. Breakage was horrific. Think of a valuable Murano glass statue thrown unwrapped into a box with a wrought iron statue, random clothing and an open room diffuser filled with liquid. And forget about claims. The process is beyond difficult and takes forever. Do not even think of using this company.

I swear! I was movin' from my MI massive penthouse to a NM beachfront paradise, and these guys made it look effortless. They expertly wrapped up all my fancy furniture and chucked it onto the truck like it was no biggie.

The moving crew's problem-solving skills were put to the test when they had to squeeze my massive sofa down a narrow set of stairs. They kept at it, and they made it through unscathed!
