Morse Moving & Storage

Jake and Justin helped load the ZippyShell from my apartment in Ann Arbor. From the start, Jake was professional and always kept me in the loop. He called me yesterday to let me know what time he’d be arriving and he called me today to confirm when he would be there and again when he was on his way.
During the loading, Jake and Justin were friendly, efficient, careful with our belongings, and professional. It was a really pleasant experience and I have nothing but good things to say about them. Overall I was very impressed with Morse Movers and I would definitely use them again or recommend them to friends.
We are shipping all of our things to Los Angeles, so it was an especially anxious day for me. Jake and Justin kept me updated on the amount of stuff they thought would fit in the Shell, and they took care to make sure everything was carefully packed and that space was efficiently used. Both were upbeat and positive all afternoon. Near the end, Jake kept asking what else I’d like to add (space permitting) and each time he was happy to add another bin or box to the mix. The guys really made our stressful day enjoyable and stress-​free. I’m just sorry we won’t have them to unload in Los Angeles. They were awesome.

We used the company this past December 2015 and we couldn’t have had better movers. The three men that moved us into our home were great. Not one scratch on anything. The move went smoothly. I was very happy.

This rating is in regards to their actual movers/​drivers. I hired Morse indirectly via zippyshell, and the guys that came to unload my truck into my house were consummate professionals. Very quick and careful, respectful of my pregnant wife, and friendly to boot.
Would hire again.

They was on time and didn’t mess around the move took less time than I thought it would. Don’t waste your time trying to save a few dollar with a lower rate it’s better to get what you pay for and go with a pro.

As a first time mover, I had an absolutely great experience with Morse Moving. Communication was top notch, answered all my anxiety questions and were professional while on site. I have nothing but positive feedback and wouldn’t hesitate for a second in recommending to friends/​family.

This company lost two of my lamps and end tables. How hard is it to place a colored sticker on a box and remember to remove that box at the final destination??? Also they left some old ladies boxes at my final address. Seriously, I would suggest you look for another moving company. This company is terrible.

This company was assigned to me through my company to help move me to Chicago area. The guys were very professional, nice, and I felt comfortable with them moving my belongings across the state. They picked up and delivered on time and were very timely with their packing/​unpacking. Overall would highly suggest them!

Everything that could go wrong with this company has. To start the packers were rude, late, and refused to pack things for various stupid reasons. Morse was also suppose to move a vehicle for me and completely forgot to schedule this, no big deal I only have all my stuff packed and am on my way across country, I can wait 3 days for it to be picked up. On top of that they never informed me i wasn’t allowed to have any items in the vehicle that was being moved. Then they charged me $ 1000 more then quoted and ran my card without my permission before my stuff even shipped. During the whole process I was in contact with Morse Moving and made it very clear they did not care that I had been inconvenienced, their attitude was never one of regret and understanding, but of tough luck and get over it. I guess this is just how they always do business?
So then my stuff finally arrived after 43 DAYS, YES IT TOOK THEM 43 DAYS TO MOVE MY STUFF. I SLEPT ON AN AIR MATTRESS AND WORE THE SAME 5 ARTICLES OF CLOTHING FOR 43 DAYS. MAYBE I SHOULD JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT: IT TOOK THEM 43 MOTHER LOVING DAYS TO MOVE MY CRAP. But honestly that doesn’t paint the picture well enough. When the items arrived they were damaged. My TV showed up with NO protection on it, just sitting there in the truck bouncing around. Chairs were damaged, items were lost, but we did get a bonus package full of other peoples stuff. I was surprised to find out movers reassemble the furniture for you, which was nice. Yeah…2 months later I am getting in my bed and it falls apart. I check it out and 4 out of the 10 bolts holding the bed together aren’t even there. The triangular supports aren’t attached at all. Seriously? Does this end?
Unbelievable, this is unbelievable seriously I wouldn’t blame you if you don’t believe what I have shared here. Its just too bad to be true. This has to be an elaborate nightmare. Come on, wake up, wake up. THIS CAN’T BE REAL, NO ONE IS THIS BAD AT WHAT THEY DO. PLEASE WAKE UP!

What a waste of a company. Not only was their estimate «updated» by $ 666 dollars, but they also left the house half done because they were «out of boxes» … YOU ARE A MOVING COMPANY. GET MORE BOXES. this was a terrible and overpriced experience and I highly recommend you stay far away from Morse.

Ours was a short distance move. Nonetheless everything was done in a professional manner. I especially like that they do background checks and drug screenings, not all movers do. I liked that they took care to cover all floor areas carpeted or not. The best thing was they «shrinke wrapped» my furniture! Perfect for storage which is where it will be for awhile. I would use them again and recommend highly!

I give this company one star only because I have to to post a reveiw! We used them and everything they told me over the phone was a lie! They said they insurance they did not you had to pay extra for it and they said nothing! They said they don’t contract out and they did! They also gave me a quote that ended up being off by 400 dollars. They never got back to us when we confronted them about it. Take my word don’t use them!!!

Moving with Morse is a great experience. April was friendly and very professional and made the experience much less stressful. We have suggested Morse Moving to many persons who have had the same great experience! We have all the confidence in Morse Moving.

After checking a few moving companies, my husband & I decided to go with Morse Moving for our relocation from Detroit to Nashville. Not only were they the cheapest, but I also felt really comfortable with the sales rep, April. After all was said and done, she delivered on all of her promises and we walked away from the experience happy. The driver/​mover was really great too (Mike). Very nice, knew what he was doing and worked quick!
There were a few minor snafu’s along the way but they were quickly resolved. The only recommendation I have is maybe the gals in the office could be a bit more chipper. Every time I called, I felt like I was bothering them. Again, not a deal breaker, just a suggestion for an improvement.

I was very impressed with the Morse Moving Company. My previous moving experiences with other companies had been nightmares, but Morse moving was professional, curteous, clean, honest, and there were no surprises. I was contacted to make sure things were going well by the home office and I appreciated it. Estimate was reasonable and there was no hidden charges.

Dear Prospective Mover,
Let me just start out by saying that we took a long time to decide which mover we were going to use, and consequently we researched every possible angle before we decided to go with this impeccable company. From U-​haul types to PODS to other full service movers not one could match the service and attention.
We were making a move Sterling Heights MI to So-​Cal and calculated costs from each bidder. After fuel costs and lodging and towing a vehicle and driving the other, the U-​haul types were only about 5−10% cheaper if at all. Not to mention you have to do all the work. I’ve moved enough times to know the headaches that come with doing it yourself. No thanks.
As for the PODS type companies, their costs can be low. However, you have to worry about the condition of your items once they reach the destination because they are usually shipped in freight trailers. These trailers tend to shake your treasured belongings into dust unless you pack the trailer like a professional, and even then look out. My father used one of these companies but when his trailer arrived there was some pretty major damage. Smashed boxes and eroded items. PODS transports on air ride so your items don’t get jostled around, however, the cost was the same as the quote from Morse Movers. So, not a great deal, since you still have to do all the heavy work.
Besides all the statistical mumbo jumbo, this family really cares. We dealt with John Green in particular and from the first minute we felt like his #1 priority. These guys know what they’re doing. John coordinated the whole thing from start to finish and did everything he could to satisfy us, all the way up to the minute we pulled out of our driveway and beyond.
The owner operator that actually moved our house was also a seasoned professional. He and his crew packed our 4 bed 2 bath 1800 sq. ft. house with a basement and garage full of stuff in less than 5 hours with absolute TLC. He actually offered me the option of delivering our shipment a few days earlier than scheduled, which I accepted. Amazing, truly «full service» mover that went above and beyond in every way. We love Morse Movers of Allied Van Lines!

Wow. I’m glad I wasn’t a Unilocal user when I moved last year or I never would have used Morse based on the reviews here. My experience with them couldn’t have been better. They showed up on time, were courteous and professional, had my belongings in MA when promised and did not charge more than was quoted. What more could you ask for from a mover?

I used this company last week to move from Indianapolis to Ann Arbor, and couldn’t have been happier.
From start to finish, things were done correctly, and I understood the process every step of the way.
Special thanks to Kristie for making payment through my company an easy process.
Big, big thanks to Sherry, who packed my kitchen in several hours (and it’s taken me several days to unpack!). Apparently my «number of dishes» to «size of kitchen» ratio is disproportionate, and her help was invaluable!
Jake and Chuck — you guys were awesome! From packing my whole basement and carting a sofabed up the stairs, to delaying my dropoff time a couple of hours to meet MY needs and unloading in such a way that I could unpack some of the boxes to reload onto your truck, you made the process as simple as it could be.

Horrible experience with this company about ten years ago, with a move within the Detroit area! Unprofessional, rude, and basically extorted us for more money, when we complained about their behavior. The move ended up costing us a few THOUSAND more, and an extra week.
They basically took all our stuff, and when we complained about their rude, menacing behavior during pick up, they decided to hang onto everything and charge us extra for «storage.» Basically, they said, «We have all your stuff, and gee, it might take longer to get to you now that you’re so unhappy.» And what were we to do? Indeed, they had all our stuff… and they are independently owned and operated, so the corporate office just directed us back to them.
It was horrible. They had us by the balls, and they knew it. So we just had to wait it out, until they were done having their hissy fit, then they sent us the bill, along with our boxes. I was so stressed out during this whole situation.
Stay away from this company under all circumstances.

I finally got a check for the damage done to our home. It took six weeks of letters, threats of legal action, and persistence.
BEWARE! I would not recommend this moving company to my worse enemy.

Authorized agent for Allied Van Lines. We used them to move our stuff from Detroit to San Francisco. We didn’t have a place picked out and needed our stuff to be stored before it got shipped out. Our agent at Morse offered us ‘free’ storage. It wouldn’t be unpacked and stored; instead it would stay packaged in a controlled environment for up to 2 months.
Soon after they picked up our stuff, we got a call telling us that our stuff was going to be shipped out. When we asked about the ‘free storage’, we were asked to cough up more money. Beware of unwritten deals with this company.
