Mustard Seed Moving Company

Excellent! 2^nd time to hire Andrew and his fabulous team Philip and Gabriel at Mustard Seed Movers. Perfect move! God Bless you all

This was our first self-​directed move in 25 years and Andrew’s experience really helped make it come together. His advice when loading us up on discount used boxes really helped us to understand the situation — no walkthrough needed. He and his team showed up on time and got right to work. Everything was loaded carefully and strategically as it was a tight fit. Andrew’s timetable (charges are hourly) was amazingly accurate — to include the six-​hour round trip for him and his team. Communications were all clear and concise. It was a real pleasure to work with Mustard Seed Moving Company.

So this was totally a service that was outstanding, but finished off with dropping from 5 to 3.
Here is the good: really nice people, showed up on time, did a walkthrough and then got to work. People have mentioned that they work really hard and just work well to try and knock things out and yep, they sure did. They were super efficient and other than taking three 5 minutes breaks for hydration, they packed and loaded up the house.
Unloading was slightly slower, but again, at no point did I get the impression that they were trying to waste time. All this of course was facilitated by my super efficient spouse who had labeled everything and laid out a plan of unloading for them. The only chilling out they did was when we bought them lunch. But that was deserved. All 5 stars so far… and now the kicker.
We suddenly realized that they had not moved our old fridge and we figured out what happened. Andrew asked me at the old place «Does this fridge stay» to which I replied «No» which implies it goes. But obviously in the rigmarole of moving, the message was lost. The kicker was that they implied it was all our fault and so off they went to get the fridge to rack up the bill with the big «concession» being that they sent the third guy off. And no apology for the possible misinterpretation. In the entire move they only broke one lamp shade, our sideboard was all wonky (to be fair they do make you sign off on a waiver that says too bad your problem) and they scratched up our dining table. Which sounds like a lot, but trust me, it is not.
So here is the deal: absolutely use them. They really are quite careful and hard workers, but make sure that you almost record every conversation so just in case there is an issue, there is proof positive of complicity.
Everything else everyone says about friendly, efficient and hard working service all stands!
Update: response to owners comment below: nope. at no point did the «did we get everything» conversation happen. But this is the perfect he said-​she said situation. Hence the tip to make sure you document everything. Good tips on moving by the owner though.

Firstly, just let me say two words … TOTALLY FANTASTIC!
I have lived all around the world and I always dread moving time, as I know most people do! But part of my fear, is how many times you come across slipshod work and negative/​bad attitudes from the movers themselves. I’ve had a number of antique pieces damaged in the past. However, this time, Andrew and his team put my faith back into the whole business. From the start, he was both courteous and very accommodating to my needs. I found him friendly, approachable, but at the same time an absolute professional. I was already impressed. When the move itself took place, the whole team pitched in, handled things with extreme care, moved swiftly and efficiently. But that is what you would hope to experience from any really good movers … With Mustard Seed, I actually felt that they wanted to ensure I had an EASY move. To put it simply, they cared about me and the job. An example, they had explained at the beginning that the hourly rate was rounded up to the next quarter hour and at the end of the move, Andrew said … «Okay, you have ten minutes left of that last quarter hour … What can we move for you?» … It turned out to be a huge pile of textbooks, coffee table books which undoubtedly saved me personally a lot of backache going back and forward to my new apartment (same complex) and a couple of hours work. Most movers would have simply rounded up and not asked.
I dread my next move now for a completely different reason … How will I ever find an Andrew and Mustard Seed Company ever again? In my opinion, they are the finest movers that I have ever used. Don’t hesitate — pick up the phone and call.

Friendly service. Andrew personally follows up. Recommended.

If I could give 10 stars, I would. I was a bit concerned initially because as a small business owner, it was easier for Andrew to communicate by email than by phone, but don’t let that concern you! I am so very happy with everything about this experience — Andrew, Greg & Phil showed up on the dot to move my Mom and their care and professionalism was top notch, but their thoughtfulness earns them top marks as a very special moving service. They set everything up for her, put boxes where requested — not just piled on the floor — gave an excellent suggestion on master bedroom furniture placement, and they hooked up her washer & dryer, noting a concern with an O ring. But the most amazing thing to Mom was that Andrew fixed the leg on her piano where the bolt thread had gotten stripped… by creating new threads with his tools! He has a lot of familiarity with pianos, as piano moving was his first business. The cost was reasonable — no more than you will pay elsewhere, but the service far exceeded our expectations.

This was by far the best moving experience I have had. Andrew and his guys arrived right on time (after confirming via text message and email the day before), and were careful and efficient with my belongings. Door to door 4 hour move for a 2 bed 2 bath apartment. Definitely would recommend and use them again.

Super service! Exceedingly careful with our furniture, responsive to our requests, work ethic top notch, pricing clear without any hidden charges. Great moving experience. I will use this company again without hesitation!

Andrew and his team did a great job moving my things. Very polite, hard working and treated my things like they were their own. Never before have I had a move go so well, and with zero items broken. I have referred several friends to Mustard Seed, and I will use them again myself.
PS — don’t believe the post below from Seattle Washington. She has obviously reviewed the wrong company.

One of the best companies I’ve ever used. They were quick and thorough and handled my personal property as if it was their own. I would definitely utilize and recommend Andrew and his team again!

I cannot recommend Andrew and his team highly enough. They confirmed the move in advance and showed up on time. They were all friendly and courteous — I was not made to feel like an intruder in my own home as I have in the past. And they moved an entire house without so much as one casualty. Even my tall wine glasses arrived in perfect condition. I’ve moved a lot over the course of my career, and this was my best experience yet. If you want classy, dedicated professionals, this is the company to call.

This is a great moving company. Andrew and his crew made sure to wrap everything and move it with care. They were speedy in getting to the next item to wrap and load it up. Everything arrived safely at the new location without any damage. The best way to contact them is by email.

This business was easy to deal with and came through on everything they said they would do. Their team was professional and very hard working.

Andrew and his crew are amazing! Took such care in wrapping our furniture to avoid damage or scratches, and literally ran the entire time. Very friendly, professional, and definitely not afraid of work, help, or stairs. Can’t say enough about our experience with them and pricing was absolutely fair. You won’t be disappointed in hiring them!

I contacted Andrew because I am considering using Mustard Seed for an upcoming move. I purchased some boxes from him about two weeks ago. He came by my place and also offered helpful packing tips. Very nice, friendly and professional. If my budget allows I will use professional movers and that will be Mustard Seed, no one else!

I feel guilty that I’m reviewing them over a year after they helped me, but they did such an extraordinary job packing, and moving my belongings in what was really a desperate situation. I can’t recommend this company highly enough.
Thank you guys, again.

Excellent company. We hired Mustard Seed Moving to move us two days before Christmas. Andrew and his staff were very polite, professional and efficient. All of our furniture was wrapped properly and we suffered no damage to our house or belongings.
I highly recommend them and would use them in the future.

Thank you so much Andrew and Greg, thanks to you both I have found my future movers to always move me wherever !!! You both are so professional with all the packing and unpacking, no walls were cuffed up!!! Your pricing is excellent and honest!!! Thank you both!!!

I recently moved into a temporary apartment and had to move again one week later. Thankfully, the second set of movers was Mustart Seed Moving Company. Andrew and his crew were so polite and professional I would like to be friends with them. They took care to get all my heavy items out of the old apartment and into the new apartment. They even re-​placed items when I realized the original positioning wouldn’t work with the flow of the apartment. Andrew noticed the legs of my dining table were a bit loose and took the time to tighten them so my table was stable.
I’m thankful I had the opportunity to meet Andrew and his crew and recommend them to help your move go smoothly. It only takes the faith of a Mustard Seed to move mountains.
Thank you Andrew and crew.

This was my very first experience with hiring movers to lug all my crap to a new place and I gotta say, Mustard Seed Moving Company rocked it! I was a little anxious about meeting the movers by myself because I’ve gotten the whole «little lady» routine more than once when it comes to the service and trade industry so I brought along a friend with a lot more testosterone just in case. Turns out I didn’t need to because Andrew, the owner, and his team were prompt and extremely professional throughout the entire move.
Now for some helpful info (as of ¹⁰⁄₁₅)
— Billable time begins at the moment they leave warehouse,
located at 10 511 Shaenfield Rd, San Antonio, TX.
— Billabletime includes the travel time that will be required for
them to return to warehouse, as calculated by a GPS.
— With one moving truck, rates are $ 55/​hour for a single mover,
$ 85/​hour with 2 movers; $ 115/​hour with 3 movers; $ 145/​hour with
4 movers.
— An additional truck adds $ 25/​hour to the hourly rate.
I was expecting a charge of about $ 300 bucks for moving a 1 bedroom apartment but these guys were straight up RUNNING back and forth from their truck and it was done in two hours! (Tipped accordingly ;)) If you’ve got a move coming up I highly recommend Mustard Seed Moving Company to help you out!
