Abe Lincoln Movers & Storage

Looks like I’m not alone…
Ron was very nice at first when setting up an appointment, and his guys were nice, too — however — they were 90 minutes late and extremely slow. I actually ended up moving large pieces along with them for the last hour at my previous residence because they were taking such a long time. I’ve been through a few moves and usually, the guys are running to the truck to make the most of your money and time.
One of the movers basically demanded a tip, and they were in such a hurry to get to the credit union to cash my check that they left all of their paperwork behind — which I would guess, makes any of our «agreement» null and void since they don’t have anything signed from me.
I found out later some of my items were not moved, and I had to buy new items to replace what Ron and his team had lost. After three months of trying to get a response of any kind from owner Ron Ferguson, I basically gave up. It was a small request — a $ 60 credit for a few bar stools his movers lost (when I paid $ 800 + tip) — and as a small business owner myself, I would expect much better customer service (not just before they get paid).
He was recommended by a friend, and so I am hugely disappointed, and just want to make sure any of you looking for a mover know to go elsewhere. There are many other options in Denver for you that would do a much better job and take better care of their customers.

From the first call to the last box delivered, truly exceptional! Even after researching Abe Lincoln Movers exceeded my high standards. These guys are the real deal, and are professional hard workers. I had a lot of fragile items and was worried, but it went flawlessly. I am already having them help other family members and I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Ron is one of the most unprofessional «people» I have ever dealt with. I had to be moved twice due to my apartment not being ready for two weeks. On the first round, the movers showed up over an hour late, but I was never contacted, just my parents. They walked away with a nice microwave on that deal, because I couldn’t take it, there went $ 50 dollars and they were tipped nicely. The reason they were late? Ron doesn’t keep his trucks running well, so the movers had to go and rent a truck, making them over an hour late for the move. When they finally made it to the storage unit (45 minutes after I left them and still have no idea where they were), Ron was called on my mother’s cell phone lambasting his $ 10.00 an hour employees because they had not finished up with their current job. He was yelling at me as well as at his employees, so this screams to his lack of professionalism. Was I given a courtesy call at 9am when his employees were suppose to arrive? NO! But this gasbag has the audacity to yell and threaten employees on my parents phone like a bully on my time (I am the one paying for these movers and he was on the phone for over 15 minutes berating his employee Eric).
On the second move, they were late again, with yet another broken down truck, and this time, despite requesting the same two movers, we were sent two different people, and I was bilked out of a great deal of money on this move, and some very expensive cookware was stolen from me by one of the movers. My desk was broken, in multiple places, and destroyed, leaving me sans a working desk. They weren’t going to set up my dining room table, I had to ask them to do it. Um, this is part of the moving process is it not? It is! We were nice enough to buy the movers lunch, and made sure they were comfortable, yet movers stole from me. No wonder these guys moonlight on the side, Ron pays them crap wages.
After my parents made numerous phones to Ron and Shandi regarding my lost/​STOLEN items and I was promised multiple phone calls by Ron (who never once called me regarding the poor service), Shandi called me promising me a check for $ 100 dollars to make it right for the missing/​STOLEN cookware. I never got the check, so basically this company is nothing but a ripoff and will steal your stuff, break your items, and them leave you without anything. They didn’t even pay me based off of the typical .60 cent valuation per contract.
Run fast and avoid this scam company at all costs. We were recommended this company from friends who said they had a great experience with Abe Lincoln Movers, but after what I have experienced, I would say they are nothing but scam artists and Ron is a poor excuse for a business man and has very poor customer service skills. I am still waiting for my $ 100 dollars!

Abe Lincoln Movers & Storage is an exceptional company!!! Very respectful, on time, moved all of my items very carefully and did it under the time allowed. They worked great as a team and made sure everything was moved where it needed to be and even put of piece of furniture together for me. Thank you for making this moving experience stress free! I recommend this company to everyone!

Since 2013, Ron and his team helped me move twice. In 2013, the group moved me in-​town in Denver. This summer, they moved me from Denver to Los Angeles efficiently and professionally. I’ll be calling Abe Lincoln for my next more and referring my friends.

Worst movers ever! They were 8 hours late for our move and they damaged 3 pieces of our furniture. Very unprofessional.

Great job!
I have used this company twice and in both cases they were efficient and professional. I would highly recommend them!

I used this company when I moved to Denver a year ago and had them unload the moving trucks. There were a couple of small hiccups at the end, however the movers were nice and friendly. The hiccups were resolved by the owner after a week or two.
So, when I was moving locally now I thought it would be great to use them as, overall I was satisfied. Apparently a year makes all the difference.
I called to schedule my appointment and was able to get a day booked. While I don’t recall the name of the person I spoke with, what I was quoted for 50/​hr for 2 movers and 120 for the truck with a 2 hour minimum. During the conversation I confirmed that if we went the two hours, we are looking at a total of 220 for the move and the person on the phone agreed. This was just under another bid, and since I had a good experience before I booked the move with them for today, ⁷⁄₂₇. They called yesterday to confirm the appointment and addresses. They did have the move to address incorrect even though it was verified several times on the initial call. They corrected it and we were set for a 9am appointment, however they did say they give a 1 hr window, so no later than 10am.
The 2 drivers did come on time, at 9am. They started loading some items on the truck and shortly after they went over the paperwork. What they showed me had 100/​hr, 2 hr minimum and 100 truck fee. Numbers were totally different than what I was told. I questioned it with the guy and he went out to call the office. I was then asked to call and I verified the number to call back with the one that had called to confirm the appointment.
When speaking with Raul, he said they would have never given a total for the move. I explained I had not asked for a total for the price but only confirming that the cost would be 220 with the 2 hr minimum and the rate for truck of 120 and 50/​hr for the move. The person did tell me that was the price. Again Raul mentioned they would not say that. I said sounds like he said I was lying, he said one of us would have to be because they don’t quote totals. I did say that he must be, as I know what I was told. He stopped the time while he called the owners, the only other people that would quote the price. He called me back a few minutes after and told me he talked to both owners and they don’t remember anything with my name and didn’t have any notes beyond what Raul had. I said that he was prepared to tell me to my face that I was a liar. After a few choice words, which I admit I probably shouldn’t say, he said his guys would be unloading my items and not doing my move. I told him that was fine. I would never recommend their company to anyone wanting to move in the area, and would ensure to mention their company by name. I had asked him for his owners phone number and he hung up the phone. I tried calling the number back and it went to Raul’s voicemail. I tried another number for the company and it also went to voicemail.
His 2 guys did unload the items and put them back sort of where they were. Earlier the guys said I got sent the old guy and grumpy guy – referring to themselves. When the guys left, I apologized for them having to move things again, however I know what someone told me.
About 20 minutes later, l I received a call from Ron, the owner, who wanted to see what happened. I explained the situation as above to home. He said again they wouldn’t make any money on those rates and must have been a miscommunication. He also mentioned that it wasn’t a civil thing to do to be calling people a liar and his team would not do that. I explained to him that Raul said after he called me back that he was prepared to call me a lair. He apologized and said he was not told that by his team. I also told Ron that I work in the hospitality industry and come across people moving to the area often. I will never recommend their company. I also advised him that I would be posting this review.
As our called wrapped up, I did thank him for calling and let him for calling. While he wasn’t able to do anything, it shows he cares. I informed him that my opinion of his company from a year ago has considerably changed for the worse unfortunately.
I was able to call the other company and schedule a move for the same day as well, just later this afternoon.
I know this review is long, however I rarely write a negative comment but needed to share my frustrations regarding my interactions with Abe Lincoln movers in Denver, CO.

Donald and Victor were on their second move of the day so came out pretty tired. They worked hard unloading the truck though and with good humor. Appreciate the hard work

I was hesistant on hiring movers. They didnt nickel and dime us like i was worried. Im horrible with names but tyler and the other mover were awesome. Hard workers and took care of my stuff. They were troopers and true professionals. Highly recommend this company if half their movers are as good as the ones we had today. Cant say anything bad about them.

This was the worst moving experience I’ve ever had. Here are the highlights:
— 1 ½ hours late for an 8:00 am appt. No excuse for that! I was the first appt. of the day for the movers.
— They didn’t wrap my expensive Crate and Barrel furniture while moving it onto the truck, and when I complained they started double-​wrapping EVERYTHING and the move was several hours over the scheduled time (the movers told me they were told they’d be done by 1 pm, and we were finished at about 6 pm)
— One of the movers, Damion, broke my shredder and didn’t note it on forms or offer to pay for it
— They damaged the walls in my apartment, scratched my front door, and apparently had no idea how to get my loveseat out, despite my telling them to to take the feet off
— The truck broke down in the middle of moving and it took an hour for them to get it fixed
— When I complained to the company while the truck was broken, the OWNER showed up and yelled at me, saying the movers said I had told them to double-​wrap everything when I most certainly did not
All of this, and I didn’t even get offered a discount, or an apology, nothing. I had to pay $ 550 for this horrible service.
DON’T USE THIS COMPANY!!!

Super disappointed with my experience after I thought I had throughly vetted moving companies. The day started off terribly when they showed up a full hour late (and I had Comcast coming later that day, wasn’t really flexible on time). I called them to see where they were and the receptionist informed me they had forgotten the wardrobe boxes I had requested and confirmed with them multiple times and had to go back to get them from the warehouse. They were hardworking guys (minus the one telling me repeatedly no one wanted to take my case since I was on the 4^th floor, that I was lucky I had him — umm there’s an elevator dude, this is your job, get over yourself), but 30 minutes into the move, the truck died before it even got into the loading dock. Mind you, they’re blocking at least 3 of my neighbors cars who are throughly pissed off already and then one of the moving guys starts swearing at them (like it’s their fault) /​on the phone /​stomping around and being about as unprofessional as you can possibly be. And somehow, they think it’s ok to charge me for the time they’re screwing around trying to get the truck to start and waiting for another truck to show up to jump it (the owner was fully aware the truck they sent had been acting up all week and seemed to have no problem with this). My cost ended up being almost double my estimate (how does a 1-​br move 1.5 miles take 5 hours??) and I am still missing a shelf from one of my media consoles. Still waiting on that call back for Ron to make it right after giving them multiple opportunities to fix it… great customer service guys. Really.

1.5 hrs late and business office /​receptionist doesn’t provide what they promise. They do their business over the phone. I would suggest getting stuff in writing or email.
I saw a Groupon for Abe Lincoln movers and did some review reading about the company and decided to give it a go. I did not have nearly the same experience as the rest of the reviewers.
1. I called the company and spoke with the owner Ron 6 weeks before my move and scheduled the appointment for a 24 foot truck.
2. I was called a day before the move to confirm and was asked if I thought a 16 foot truck would be best. I was told that is what is needed for 2 bedroom apartment by the receptionist. I told her Ron offered me a 24 foot truck and I would prefer to keep the bigger one. She told me she would discuss with him and call me back.
3. She never called me back. Fast forward to the day of the move. They were scheduled to be at my place at 9 a.m. at 8:50 she called and said they were running 10 to 20 minutes late.
4. They ended up showing up an hour and a half late. I was never told they do not own trucks they rent them before every move.
5. When discussing this with Ron 6 weeks prior he never informed me that there was a $ 100 truck renting fee that I had to pay.
6. I wish I could remember the movers names. One was younger and very good and professional. The other was not very social and very rough with the boxes
7. At my storage unit he was flipping boxes upside down and tossing them on top of other boxes. I finally had to speak up and nothing changed. The younger Mover did pull the other mover aside to speak to him
8. When the 16 foot truck arrived I called the receptionist to tell her the all of our stuff might not fit and I was expecting a 24 foot truck. She told me that if two trips across town had to be made they would compensate me
9. When my four hours was up not all the boxes had been moved I called the receptionist and her story changed on compensating me for if the four hours was maxed out
10. In the end I ended up doing a load by myself the next day with a rentrd uhaul. The receptionist told me since I had a groupon the only discount she could give me me was $ 50 off the truck renting fee because they would lose revenue.
I will never use or recommend Abe Lincoln Movers. The only reason they get 2 stars is because the younger mover was very polite and professional and did an excellent job.

Abe Lincoln Movers were absolutely wonderful. Every step of the way (from estimates to scheduling to loading to unloading) they were professional and efficient and friendly. They were thoughtful with packing and loading my belongings. I was deeply impressed, and I would call them again for my next move in a heartbeat. An especially big thank you to both of my movers, Jamar and Curtis — you guys made my move a breeze!

Great movers, fast friendly and professional. Took great care of my stuff and were a pleasure to work with.
Would highly recommend to anyone in the greater denver area. Fair rates.

I recently moved from Denver to Thornton and it was a big move! I had never had a moving experience worth talking about until this one. Ron and his team did an excellent job, taking great care with my movie screen and antique guns. I had a lot anxiety about movers as you hear so many bad stories of things breaking or being charged additional fees at the end. The team at Abe Lincoln movers took extra care in helping me wrap some items that I had not done a good job with and in advising me on how to protect my valuables. If you need a Denver mover, you need to use Abe Lincoln!

I have moved a number of times in my life and I cannot say enough about how amazing this company was to me. I had 10 days in between houses so I needed to use a pod, I was terrified that all my items would not fit and they continued to reassure me that they knew what they were doing and that everything would fit and not be damaged. All of my items arrived in perfect condition as a result!
I moved from a 4 level town home and not once did they complain about my stairs. EVERY delivery person that has ever been in that house has whined about the stairs… the last movers looked visibly ill when they saw what they would be tasked with. This company, not a word.
Again, for your next move I implore you to use this team. I plan on staying where I am for a good many years but when I move again I hope to god they are still in business!

We had a great experience. Jamar and Xavier worked their tails off and even moved a piano for us. They had super agreeable attitudes and provided clear communication on where things would end up through the entire process. They worked hard to stay within the quoted timeframe and actually beat the time by 20 minutes. Coupled with our groupon, the cost of the entire move was entirely reasonable. Our toddler adds that the movers were «strong as super heroes».

These guys were terrific! Orlando and Jeremy worked extremely hard, took one quick lunch break, had a great attitude and didn’t break anything. Thanks Guys!

EXCELLENT experience with these guys. We moved out of our second story apartment on a day of a major winter storm with temperatures that didn’t’ rise above 5 degrees all day. Our two movers, Geoff and Lael never skipped a beat. They worked for 8 hours solid. They were courteous and professional but made us feel very at ease with their presence. They were never once idle and despite some heavy furniture and tricky corners they got everything out of the apartment and into the new house without a single scratch. We could not be more thrilled. I will absolutely recommend them to family and friends in the area and will use them again if we ever move in the future.
