   Atlanta.

   These guys rock. They wrapped all my belongings and moved twice as fast as the 2 men and truck company that was moving my neighbors house. Im so glad I used these guys. I would highly recommend them in Georgia.

   Great service.

   I recently had a move In the Atlanta area and was shocked at how great my move went. The guys showed up on time and moved very quickly. They wrapped all belongings and took really good care of stuff. Thanks guys and I would highly recommend them.

   Great Experience.

   My wife and I used Skinny Wimp Moving to go from a 5 bedroom house In Chandler to a 5 bedroom in Scottsdale and couldn't be happier. The guys made sure we had everything we could possibly ask for. All the guys seemed to be experts at what they were doing and literally ran back to the house from the truck in between carrying things all day. Would recommend to anyone.

   Move to Brooklyn Center.

   Company was reasonable and very accommodating. They worked hard and fast. Had to be ingenious in getting sofa in apartment. They had to lift over the balcony and into the balcony door.

   Damage Furniture and won't compensate their damage

   I hired them to move a bedroom set consisting of the dresser with mirror, 2 night stands, a bed with headboard and footboard and a chest of drawers. $330. That's not a small amount of money for a relatively small job but get it...small job, same size truck. Well, they damaged the chest of drawers, required a quote that I had to pay for and now refuse to pay for the quoted damage ($725). They are "gifting" me with a refund of my moving money. It won't fix the damage...that they had to have known about and didn't report before they left. Buyer beware. Bigger issue....buyer be sure you know what kind of people you are dealing with. These guys aren't good people.

   Broke door and dented fridge.

   They moved me into a brand new house. While moving they dented a brand new fridge and ruined my door. I have been trying to get hold of management but nobody returns my calls.

   Don't EVER Use Them!!

   If I could give zero stars I would. We moved from AZ to SC. We wrapped & boxed all our stuff except Master BR furniture, formal DR, formal LRM. Everything WE boxed made it. I had a conversation with the young man about a small antique table that was a favorite of mine and asked him to wrap it well and take special care. I watched him walk out of the house with it.That table never arrived and they denied they had it. They had no one else's furniture on the truck. They never covered my DR table (I have photos of all damaged furniture) and it needed repair to the tune of $900 (just for the table). They didn't know how to wrap the grandfather clock. My husband provided thin laminate to put on top of the blanketed glass but they never covered the top which was damaged. The intricate feet on my curio cabinet were never covered and got damaged. I had the furniture repair person fix all the damages. I won't go on but there was more damaged. It still makes me sick. I tried to speak with the owner Lance Clausen to no avail. He lives in CA.I don't think he was even told by the Phoenix office that I wanted to speak with him personally. But their mission of "honesty , integrity, and vigilantly protecting customer's belongings" is a LIE. Even though I had a bill for the repairs totalling over $1k, they would only pay $363. Just DON'T EVER USE THEM!! Skinny Wimp does not number and list each item. I think by not numbering and listing everything, Skinny Wimp can get away with denying something was on their truck, like my antique table. DON'T USE SKINNY WIMP!

   Skinny Wimp Moving Company Damaged Goods.

   I am writing this review for my 83 year old mother-in-law. This is a terrible moving company. My mother-in-law had damages to her personal property, an expensive Hi-Wheel line trimmer went missing and appears to have been stolen, and the movers moved her in two days, not one day as per the moving contract. My mother-in-law hired Skinny Wimp Movers of 6090 Crater Lake Ave/Central Point, Medford, Oregon on Apr. 16, 2018 for her moving job on April 28, 2018 from Grants Pass Oregon to White City Oregon. The moving company provided a two-man crew, plus one that stayed about three hours. Skinny Wimp Movers did not complete the move in one day as contracted. The movers did not have a big enough truck to move all of her belongings in one trip per her contract, her one day moving trip turned into a two day moving trip. She was supposed to be out of the house that day, because of this she had to arrange to stay a day longer at the old house with the home owners because of Skinny Wimp Movers schedule. The movers showed up the next day to complete the move. Skinny Wimp Movers supplied no wardrobe boxes. They sent a man to the U Haul Dealer and purchased three boxes, which was insufficient. She had to ask her neighbors to help move the rest of her clothing to the new house using garbage bags. Skinny Wimp Movers used her dining room table as a work station without her permission, and without using any protective cover. They scratched her wooden dining room table in the process. My mother-in-law specifically asked that three pieces of equipment be left at her original home, they were being given to the new owners by her as part of the home sale. The movers put one of the three pieces of equipment, her expensive professional style Hi-Wheel line trimmer worth $400 or more, in the moving van and it was driven to her new home in White City, Oregon. She advised the crew that the line trimmer needed to be returned to her original home on April 29, the second day of the one day move. The Hi-Wheel line trimmer was not delivered back to her original home and she has not seen it since. She believes this item was stolen from her in the process of the move. My mother-in-law sent two letters on May 16 and May 20 2018 to the moving company seeking recompense for damages to her belongings, payment for the missing line trimmer, and poor service, and as of yet she has not received a reply. She sent additional letters and still has not received a reply. She would not recommend this moving company due to their lack of organization and poor service.

   Dishonest and unreliable!

   I don't think I could have gone with a WORSE business. I made the mistake of using this company because they were offering a groupon. My purpose in hiring a moving company was to transport a kitchen full of cupboards and two rather large granite island tops from the home of someone who was remodeling, to ours, about an hour away. I was assured at the time of scheduling that the granite would pose no problem at all. I also stressed the importance of them arriving on time, since we only had a small window in which the owner of the home would be able to meet us. We even went as far as to call two times the morning of, to make sure they were still running on time! Well the time of the appointment came and went and the skinny wimps were nowhere to be found, and they conveniently stopped answering their phone! The owner of the home was kind enough to let us stay, even though she had to leave. almost two hours later they finally answered the phone, only to inform us it would still be a few more hours before they could be there. To make a long story short, they did eventually arrive, 7 HOURS LATE! As if that wasn't bad enough, they took one look at the granite and said "we aren't moving that", and then proceeded to load all the cabinets in the dark since the sun had long since set and there was no power to the house as it was being remodeled. Once finished loading the cabinets, they went to close up the truck, only to find their lift battery was dead! The owner actually had the gall to ask my wife to hook up her hybrid to the truck to try to power the lift on the back! Again, in an effort to shorten the story, it was almost 10 PM at this point and the kids where beyond tired. We left, assuming they would figure something out and deliver the cabinets the next morning as promised. We found out later that they simply drove the truck from Draper west valley with the back open and our cabinets stacked up to the very back! The cabinets were eventually delivered WELL past the time promised and we discovered that no moving blankets were used to protect them, many were scratched badly (remember they were all stacked in there in the dark and after a very long day), and a few drawers were broken entirely. We are missing an entire cabinet! For all we know it fell out during the drive the night before! After we thought the ordeal was finished, we found out later that Lisa, the owner of the business, charged us for the time she was stuck at the house with a broke down truck (how was that our fault). I tried calling the skinny wimp corporate office to complain and start an insurance claim for the damaged cabinets and was promptly told that Lisa owned the franchise and could do what she wants. She has not answered, or returned a single call since that second day, and I can't even get a claim started! This has been the worst experience I can imagine! Our once beautiful cabinets are now scratched and damaged and we have absolutely no recourse other than to take her to court! Do yourself a favor and go with another company. ANY other company! Even the corporate office couldn't be bothered to help! College Hunks ended up moving the granite for us no problem! I wish we had gone with them from the start!

    Do not buy Groupon!

    Do not buy this company’s Groupon. They will charge you $130 for an arrival fee. The $175 two hour Groupon becomes $305. There are much better deals out there with better service.
