Like the idea of kids working themselves through college. They took a lot of care in the move - and wrapped each furniture piece. They were also fun and personable.

The two young men who moved my 89 year old mother from her apartment in the Los Angeles area to Camarillo were straightforward, helpful, and accommodating. They were so calm they helped keep her, and me calm. I highly recommend Meathead Movers for a stress-free moving experience.

My review of Meathead Movers…

Overall rating 6 out of 10.

I have been moved by professional movers 7 times in my life, and this was not the worst. But they were not in the top 3 either.

The Good: They were polite, clean, showed up on time. They were nice people who were trying to please, and I'd be happy to have them over to a BBQ. Nothing was missing from the move. They did not jack up the price in any way with hidden costs over the “not to exceed” price when the move took longer than they expected. When objects were incorrectly placed in unloading (as there were 6 of them and I couldn’t be everywhere at once), they were willing to adjust their location per my direction, which was very helpful.

The Bad: the claims of hustle are just plain false. They were kind of slow. Several times the leaders were discussing what to load next (or unload next) and the others (I had 6 people) were standing around talking. So I had to pick up something and say “Hey, can someone help me with this”. Yes, I worked as a mover that day too in order to get them to move stuff.

They did not ‘jog’ to get another load (admittedly it was a long hot day so that is understandable), but they should not advertise that their people will jog to pick up the next load when they are not going to be doing it.

They were underequipped. Typically I have seen movers use dollies to carry stacks of boxes into the truck, and then out from the truck to the house. They did not have dollies and carried one box at a time by hand, when I believe they could easily have carried heavier loads of say 2 small boxes at once, or stacks of boxes with a dolly. This translates into more time. They also did not use any battery power tools to screw and unscrew hardware, they use hand tools - more time.

As a result of being out of time, many items that were cellophane wrapped were not unwrapped, which took my wife and I several hours to unwrap.

I used them for packing too. Some of the packers did a good job, and some were more careless. Some of the boxes were unmarked mystery boxes, and most that were marked were not helpful, for example I have at least 8 boxes marked “Kitchen Misc.” Others are just plain mismarked for example a wardrobe box saying “daughter’s bedroom”, but really is all entrance coat closet stuff.

The Ugly: I have not found any major damage, but there are a number of scratches and dings on the furniture and wood floor. At least twice I noticed the same person banged legs of furniture on the front porch step as he entered, either he didn’t learn, or that was his method of finding the location of the porch step. Some of the “meatheads” were very careful, but not all of them.

Overall: Not bad, but I’d recommend trying a different movers next time.

Response from Meathead Movers:

Thank you so much for sharing with us what you experienced and taking the time to talk with us post-move. Our clean-cut student athletes are always required to JOG when not carrying any items, but only when there is room to jog. Additionally, the only exceptions of not jogging is if the weather deems it unsafe (i.e. rain, extreme heat, etc.) or, in this case if the truck is parked so close to the home. Part of the frustrations may have also derived from us having to work around the painting crew that was present throughout the day, after reviewing your comments with the crew; we feel that they did the best they could give the circumstances and we are sorry you feel otherwise. Regarding not using the dollies: in the interest of being efficient, our employees decided it was best not to use dollies(despite having the dollies on the truck) not only to protect your nice wood floors but because it is sometimes was quicker and safer to just carry the items. After each move our crews do a walk through with the client (as we did in your case) and per your request, we did take off the shrink wrap when requested. However many of your items, especially the dining room furniture, we understood that you wanted to have the shrink wrap left on in order to protect it while the painters finished their job- we apologize for the miss-understanding and our offer to come by and take the shrink wrap off at no charge is still available . We take all of our of client’s comments seriously and strive to improve from every moving job we perform. We are very sorry that your move did not go as anticipated and again thank you for your willingness to share what happened.
Thank you!

How did we disappoint you and what can we do to make things right?

during my unpacking I noticed that they did not put boxes supposed to be. They were marked, however I found kitchen items in the master bedroom which made things a little hard for me.

Response from Meathead Movers:

Thank you so much for letting us know. I have placed a call with you to see if we can send someone out for free to rearrange your items and place things exactly where you would like. We are sorry to hear this has happened and miscommunications like this are usually caught during the walk through at the end of the service. We look forward to resolving this matter promptly.
Kind Regards,

this is my third time using your services and each time the move has gone very smoothly and professionally. This time, it was rather short notice but the company had no problem arranging everything. The move went as scheduled, the price was what was quoted, and the movers were careful about handling the antiques and re-arranging furniture so everything was where I wanted it to be. Definitely would recommend!

What do you like about our services?

Exactly as described. When hiring moving companies, you don't know anything about their customer service, capabilities, and carefulness of the moving staff. Often times, moving companies will overlook or accept those with a criminal past; do you want those kinds of movers? Or college bound/bred Meatheads?

What do you like about our services?

Your company is professional and pays attention to detail. Richie and Kevin were polite and nice. They did the job well and worked very well together. They were very careful with my stuff and I didn't have to worry. They did exactly what I asked and had a very nice attitude.

The special touches that this company does is nice.....the directors chair and the follow up e-mail with the guys picture. Moving is stressful and it's nice to work with a company that does nice things to make this process personal and throw a little fun into it.

Richie and Kevin were excellent. I recommend giving them a raise!!

How did we disappoint you and what can we do to make things right?

We were looking for a full service move, including packing services. Because Meathead Movers includes packing via a separate "sister-company" the packing services were able to be excluded from the Not To Exceed estimate. As an inducement we were given 4 free hours with two packers the day prior to the move, and assumed this would pack a significant fraction of our items. Instead we were left with 1/3 of our kitchen and most of the rest of our apartment to pack ourselves. This was what we had hoped to avoid with a full service move.

The idea of using a second company to separate the packing services from the Not To Exceed moving regulations is, in retrospect, starting to seem like a rather underhanded trick, and I am working on an email to MovingScam.com saying as much.

On the other hand, I was very happy with our move day. That process went smoothly, and the movers were extrememly positive, efficient, and careful with our things. The fact were not completely packed up (due to the packing service issue) did not phase them, and were able to help us get everything out the door within the estimated time. They were also able to manage the potentially difficult parking situation at the destination. They were outstanding. Were it not for the packing service, this would be a 10.

Response from Meathead Movers:

Thank you for your feedback. In no way do we use Princess Packers as a way to trick our clients into paying more. As you know, we came in over $200.00 below the quoted not-to-exceed price, there was no damage on your move and as a courtesy, we did not charge you for the packing labor. It is perplexing that you are unhappy with your move. We are always happy to give a not-to-exceed price that includes packing for any client and apologize that this was not clear to you at the time of the estimate. In addition, we fully support you contacting MovingScam.com as we are one of the very few moving companies they will recommend due to our mutual missions to eliminate underhanded practices in the moving industry. We have already placed a call to you and to the packers and look forward to resolving this matter promptly. Thank you -Meathead Movers

How did we disappoint you and what can we do to make things right?

Meathead has its pluses and minuses. I chose Meathead because they have a low breakage rate. I chose them over a mover who quoted me half the price of Meathead. I moved with Meathead, and things broke.

Response from Meathead Movers:

It was very nice speaking with you and thank you for the opportunity to improve. We have already tried to contact the crew and take the necessary steps to make sure they understand how to properly pad furniture. Unfortunately, due to the nature of particle board, it is very common for it to chip when moved just a few inches. We are glad to hear that overall you were satisfied with your move. Thank you again for the honest feedback and the opportunity to improve.
Kind Regards,
-Meathead Movers
