LocalMovers.com Arvostelua 14

I recently used LocalMovers.com for a move from NYC to San Francisco, and overall it was an excellent experience. A cross-country move like this can be overwhelming, but everything was handled with a high level of organization and care from start to finish.

They coordinated every step of the process—packing, transport, storage, and final delivery—and made the entire move feel smooth and well-managed. Communication was clear throughout, and everything arrived on schedule from NYC to my new home in San Francisco.

There was one unfortunate incident where a chair was damaged during the long haul. With a move of this distance, things like that can occasionally happen, and technically it wasn’t even LocalMovers.com’s responsibility since they were coordinating the move rather than physically handling every step. That said, what really stood out was how they handled it—they still stepped up and covered the cost of repairing the chair without hesitation.

That level of accountability and customer care is rare. Even when something falls outside their direct responsibility, they stand behind the experience they deliver. Because of that—and how seamless everything else was—I’d still rate this a clear 5-star experience and would absolutely recommend them.

LocalMovers.com presents itself as a marketplace of moving companies, but in reality, it functions primarily as a lead-generation broker—and that distinction is not clearly explained to consumers.

Here’s what that means in practice:

When you request a quote, you are typically not being matched directly with a vetted, established moving company. Instead, your information is captured and routed through a brokerage system. From there, one of two things usually happens: your lead is either sold to multiple companies, or the job is booked under a brokerage entity and later reassigned to a third-party carrier.

A major concern is the quality and legitimacy of the companies shown on the platform. Many listings appear to include:

Companies that no longer actively operate but still have an online footprint

Newly registered businesses with little to no operating history

Brands that exist primarily for marketing/SEO purposes rather than as established carriers

Because it is relatively easy to register a business name in the moving industry, this creates an environment where listings can look credible without having real infrastructure, crews, or long-term track records.

Another issue is transparency around pricing and responsibility. Customers are often led to believe they are booking directly with a moving company and that there are “no additional fees.” In reality, brokerage fees and margins are typically embedded into the quote. The move itself is then carried out by a separate carrier, which can lead to:

Changes in pricing or terms

Unclear accountability if issues arise

Inconsistent service quality depending on which carrier is ultimately assigned

To be clear, brokerage itself is not inherently unethical—but lack of transparency is. Consumers should know upfront:

Whether they are dealing with a broker or a direct carrier

Who will actually perform the move

The company’s licensing (USDOT/MC number) and operating history

My advice to anyone considering this platform: verify everything independently. Look up the assigned carrier, confirm their credentials, and do not rely solely on the listings presented.

The group that came out were great. It was a group that was lead by Luis. They were all very professional, and knew exactly what they were doing. I would recommend them over and over to anyone. Thank you Trustpiñot for recommending a great company with quality employees.

The communication was excellent and the services they provided really helped us complete our move. We would highly recommend the services of Local Movers.

LocalMovers is a convenient one-stop site for those looking for moving services. They're professional and save hours of research and calling around. Would recommend.

Amazing experience with Mo! He was incredibly communicative at all hours of the day and helped coordinate an easy move. He also made sure to get the best rate for me, while ensuring quality! Would 100% move again with him if possible.

Localmovers.com is running a nice clean business, They provide useful information for consumers and is one of the few places that you can send a message to and will actually get a real person to respond to you.

Proud to be showcased by these guys! 🌻

Had a great experience working with LocalMovers.com, especially with Mo. He was very helpful and got me a dozen quotes in just a couple of hours to help me move some of my stuff out of a storage facility. The specialty movers he connected me with were also incredibly professional. Overall the experience was great, everything was fast, and both the movers and the LocalMovers.com team were always available for any questions I had. I’d recommend getting your quotes through this company because it’s so much faster than googling and all the options you get are licensed, verified movers so you don’t have to worry about getting scammed.

I found the website very useful. I was able to compare various movers. I got several quotes for my move. The team was professional and responsive. I would use again to simplify the headache of finding information on reputable vendors.

Recently got very bad experience from them. I tried to contact that number which last digit 9549 but no one response. I wouldn't recommend

I was able to find my movers through LocalMovers.com for my move and honestly it was really easy to use and navigate. They gave me a quick quote and saved me a ton of time. Super straightforward. I was stressed out because I was moving alone for the first time ( from Brooklyn to Manhattan) but they were genuinely really helpful and I didn’t have to worry bc they took care of everything!! Also very communicative and gave prompt responses to my million questions and they made my experience go so much smoother. Highly recommend using LocalMovers.com if you’re looking for reliable movers in nyc.

My husband and I had a complicated interstate move from Texas to North Carolina and the quotes that we were getting on our own were too expensive and it was hard to know if the companies were trustable. I found LocalMovers.com through a Google search and was able to look through their extensive list of movers who were all vetted through their system and overall reliable. I gave them a call and Paul made the whole thing easy. I received 2 quotes by the next day that were way more reasonably priced and booked the best one for our needs. The movers were on time, organized, and incredibly friendly. Paul even checked in throughout the move in case I needed any help. Everything was delivered to our place in perfect condition. So glad I found this resource in LocalMovers.com, 100% recommend!

My partner and I had just gotten married and suddenly had to move into our new place with only a week’s notice before our honeymoon. We were stressed, unprepared, and on a tight budget after the wedding.
I found LocalMovers.com on Google and decided to give it a shot. Within minutes, Kate reached out, listened to our situation, and found three quotes within our budget in less than 12 hours. She handled everything quickly and made sure the rate matched the quote.
The movers were kind, fast, and efficient. They helped us pack and completed a move I thought would take a month in just two days.
I can’t recommend LocalMovers.com (and especially Kate) enough. If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be sipping an Aperol in Italy right now! 🍹🇮🇹

David at local movers was a huge help. After frustration finding a mover who could help us on short notice, we found LocalMovers.com and they found a couple of movers who could move on 3 days notice. We took the best quote, David negotiated the price and the service was delivered perfectly. Thanks!!
