UF Mover Guys

My experience with UF Mover Guys was highly disappointing. Everything started off well — one of the managers showed up to my house to give me an estimate for the move from Florida to Michigan after seeing what furniture I had in person. The original plan was for the company to help me with loading, transporting, and unloading the furniture. They gave me an estimate, and though expensive, I decided to proceed with the plan due to its convenience.
A week before the move date, I had not heard from anyone from the company, so I called several times to get an estimate of the time the movers would show up to my house. The manager kept telling me he would call me back, and then THREE DAYS before the move, he told me that the original plan fell through, and that he could no longer transport my furniture to Michigan. He told me he had an alternate plan that may save me some money, but I was really disturbed that this change was not conveyed to me earlier. Had I known in advance that this would be the case, I would have found other movers immediately.
I had no other choice since this was only 3 days before my scheduled move, so I followed his instructions. The company sent movers to load my furniture in a trailer sent by a freight company (that I had to reserve). The freight company then charged me for transporting the furniture to Michigan, and I had to later call to have other movers unload my furniture at my new apartment in Michigan.
The movers in Gainesville showed up without any kind of blankets or furniture pads (which I had previously been told would be used), and they loaded all my items in the trailer with barely any protection.
To my dismay, nearly ALL my furniture arrived at the new location with some kind of damage. Most were scratches on the wood furniture (coffee table, dining table and chairs, bookshelf, accent chairs), but some were more drastic. One of my canvas paintings was ripped, and one of my bedroom dressers was cracked in half.
When I tried to contact the company to see if any compensation could be provided, no one responded to my message.
This was the most disappointing moving experience I’ve had. Not only was the company completely unprofessional in notifying me so late of any changes to the initial reservation, but they did a terrible job loading my furniture without ANY protection and completely ignored my attempts to contact them afterward.

Needed to move furniture and some boxes from one apartment to a townhouse.
UF mover guys gave me the best price quote. On top of that they give you an extra 10% discount if you pay in cash.
Matt and Tim showed up to the house and did an excellent job. They finished within the time limits of the quoted time and were very careful.
The only reason they don’t get 5 stars is because they ended up showing up 2 hours late due to a previous move earlier taking longer than quoted. Luckily I didn’t have anything else planned that day so it wasn’t that big of a deal.

Called them for a move from Gainesville to Texas. The owner was great and explained a lot of options and pricing. Lots of great tips like getting a Penske truck instead of a Uhaul. That alone saved me what it cost to have them pack us. I ultimately hired them to load m 26′ penske truck that I was going to drive myself. I was going to have them load a van line bit the fluidity of those dates didn’t work for me.
They came out and gave a free estimate for time and materials that was ultimately accurate. Twice they came out and dropped of additional boxes for me. On move out day they showed up on time. The load went well and without issue. The loaders knew what they were doing and packed the truck intelligently. I did have one or two things break, but when you load that much stuff and drive is 20 hours in a bumpy truck, I believe that is to be expected.
All in all they were solid dudes and pleasant to work with.

I was needing help loading 2 PODS and utilized the service from UF Mover guys. I’ll list the pro’s and con’s and let anyone else decide for themselves. Pro’s — The actual mover guys were great, hardworking, and great at packing items into our pods. The main guy who sets up everything was very helpful and very attentive to my needs (called me back on the Sunday of March Madness = dedication).. He also knocked off about 20% of my total bill which brings me to the cons. The movers were 2 hours late (ran long at a prior job) which I understand happens but put a bit of a struggle in our move time, but like I said he knocked off the price. The guys didn’t have a dolly or any moving equipment so it took a little longer than maybe it should’ve or could’ve. They offered to wrap a few items which was nice but after unloading our items at our destination we noticed a lot of scratches, and banged up furniture. They also put masking tape to our actual furniture which isn’t good on the wood and left marks and residue. We would’ve preferred utilizing blankets to help pad things down like previous movers and not had tape placed on our furniture. I gave 3 stars because we had folks unload at our destination and they were one time, had equipment, and pointed out a few of the items that are typically not done (i.e. masking tape on items, and padding with blankets). In any case if you need help I’d give them a ring just be extra cautious on valuable furniture items and wrap yourself.
