The Moving Badass

This was my first time to for me ever use movers and the The Moving Badass made the process easy and relieved alot of stress. They were really badasses! They were fast, efficient, and patient. They offer very reasonable prices and get the job done! I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs great movers.

I was looking for a local moving company that could act quickly on moving some donated furniture from Austin to our warehouse for flood victims in San Marcos. I got ahold of Christopher and explained our situation. We are a 100% non profit and we were desperate.
He was simply AMAZING! We set up a time for that Friday. He arrived exactly on time and ready to roll. We were on a time limit and he did his best at meeting those times. On the way back to SM we ran into three major car accidents. We ran a bit beyond our time frame but he helped us out knowing we were a non profit. I felt so bad for him as he and his partner as they worked very hard in the heat. They moved everything without damage in a VERY timely manner. This company has heart! I have moved from Austin to SM in the past year, I wish I had known of them then. You can not go wrong by hiring The moving Badass! Mr. Christopher is your guy. Reasonable rates, professional and courteous. Thanks to him we now have a ton of beautiful furniture for our Flood victims and their families. God Bless!

The moving badass was amazing. Chris and Kevin were not only on time, the were early. Not only did they take great care of my stuff, they fixed the stuff I hadn’t taken good care of. Best of all, they moved me to San Antonio in less time it took my previous movers to move me locally! They exceeded all expectations and it couldn’t have gone better! Thank you Badass!!!

Wow these guys are the best. I needed a last minute move within reasonable prices and Chris and his team came through. Not only did they communicate clearly about the process and time/​scheduling but they also, most importantly, showed me and my possessions the up most respect and care. Don’t waste your time with the overpriced and contractual movers out there as this local business is a force to be reckon with.

If you have any type of schedule, don’t use this guy. This guy is unprofessional, his pricing is not particularly competitive, and the guy shows up late and/​or not at all. My buddy used him to move his personal residence and they showed up an hour late. Not exactly the end of the world, but a few days later I hired him to move an entire property for my business. I had two families lined up to move, and dependent on him showing up at 9:00 in the morning, which he confirmed with me the evening before. At 9:00 he texted to say that he would be an hour late. Then two hours later, after my texting and calling several times, he tells me that he isn’t showing up at all.
Skip this guy and move on to the next company.

There are many movers in Austin, I would steer clear of this one.
Let me preface by saying I don’t normally leave negative reviews as I understand the impact it can have on a small business. Being a small business owner myself I generally approach the owner with my feedback directly should I have a negative experience. I did exactly that in this case but the way things unfolded I feel it would be a dis-​service to others not to post my experience.
Now onto the review…
I scheduled a move in early April for my second story ²⁄₁ condo where we were moving about 4 miles down the road. I got a confirmation call the day before and let them know we were on for 930am. They called at 830 the morning of saying they were running about an hour behind schedule. At 11 they still were not there so I called and they were still experiencing delays due to his helper running behind. I told him if need be to go get contract labor from Home depot but that he needed to keep his promise to move me that day.
At 12:30 they showed and got right to business. I was completely moved into the new place in under 2.5 hours. I was frustrated to be so far behind schedule but they made up for it with speed. After unpacking I did notice several scratches on my farily new sofa that were fresh and the result of a door jamb most likely. They were out of sight. There were also some bursted items in boxes such as shampoo and soap but it very well could have been the result of improper packing. As these things happen I did not fret nor complain it was minor in the grand scheme.
I tipped the driver and assistant very well ($ 60 total tip) as again I am a small business man and I respect anyone who is working towards their dreams.
My business partner needed to do a move a few weeks later so I recommended the moving badass. I did relay my experience but figured it was likely just a one time thing and didn’t think they would be late for my partner.
My partner called me to alert me that Chris called him and let him know he was running an hour behind about an hour before he was expected to arrive. Chris actually sent me a text Monday 4÷13÷15 asking me to review him on Unilocal.I didn’t feel it would be beneficial to his company as I am always honest and I didn’t want to leave him a negative review so I sent the following text to Chris:
«Chris, I don’t think you really want me to share my experience as I won’t leave out any details… I’m sure you recall being almost 3 hours late… also my business partner is doing a move with you today on my recommendation and he was just told you would be an hour late. As a fellow entrepreneur my advice is to get people you can rely on as it will make or break your business»
Chris’s reply was:
«Who am I speaking with again? I’m sorry sir but I don’t respond well to threats like this. Please tell your friend to take his business elsewhere. I will not be treated like this.»
My reply:
«Chris you messaged me Monday asking me to leave a review. I just gave you that review with the courtesy of not leaving it on your site as I know how important this can be for a small business. This is in no way a threat, just courtesy. I’m simply pointing out that you should contract more reliable labor to ensure the long term success of your business. Best Wishes. «
Chris’s reply: «Your partner is pissed. I like how he told me «F_​_​_​you dirtbag and then called me unprofessional.»
No further correspondence was made on my part.
I would have kept my word about not leaving a review but his blatant careless attitude had to be exposed.
I expect with the abundance of moving companies this one won’t stand the test of time unless some fundamental changes are made regarding operations and attitudes.

These guys are Awesome!!! They moved me out of a 3 bedroom home. I had enough stuff for three houses and a salon!!! They totally moved everything in about 2 hours and placed everything neatly in storage!!! Get ready for round 2 guys in two months!!! Lol!!!

Had a really great experience with Chris and his assistant! He came with his own truck, though I did not need it for my move. I had rented one myself and in about an hour they moved the contents from my 3 story house into my moving truck with precision and speed. They packed it tight and everything survived the long drive from Austin to NYC! Highly recommend!
