Can’t recommend enough! Jordan and Vincent were awesome! On time, great prices, and delicate care on ALL of your furniture and appliances. Made moving a lot less stressful. Definitely plan on using “Common Sense” for any future moves.
Craig and Nicholas were AMAZING! This was the first time I used professional movers and I highly recommend them. They were extremely diligent and careful with my items, and most importantly they had awesome attitudes (even with moving me from a 3rd story apartment!). A huge plus is that they were super affordable! I…
I wish I had the same experience as everyone else—the high ratings are exactly why I booked them. Unfortunately, this was the least professional moving team I’ve ever encountered. Their process was unorganized and careless. Having hired movers six times in the last 10 years, I have never once seen handprints left on…
Excellent and honest business in a day and age where lots of service companies want to screw you over. Great pricing, easy communication, and exceptional service. They were flexible when I had to make a small adjustment to my move scheduling, and the movers were fast, friendly, and handled everything with care.
5 Stars - Affordable - Professional! Three words to describe my experience with Common Sense Moving. Two guys loaded all of my stuff into a truck I thought wouldn’t be big enough; they were creative with space, cautious of furniture (added blanket protection), and fast! I will def use them in the future and…
I had an amazing experience with this company. Any time I have a move from now on, I will contact them to help me out with it. They protected all of my stuff during the move, where careful and efficient, and so kind! 10000% recommend, seriously, don’t look elsewhere.
These guys are the best movers I’ve ever had! Very easy scheduling and communication, super prompt, did a fantastic job and finished ahead of schedule! Also super friendly! Would absolutely use them again
These guys did an excellent job on my move from N to S Austin. Wanted to support a local business and not a big brand and they delivered. Great communication throughout the process. They were finished in under the quoted time with no surprise add ons. Would definitely recommend.
fantastic experience with this company - they really take pride in doing a great job and are high quality people!
Dylan and Drew at Common Sense helped me finish my move today, and they couldn’t have been kinder or more professional! They showed up early, they seemed happy to be there (even in the early-morning Texas heat), and they were very efficient. I was floored that they got the job done so fast! Everything was handled…
This moving company was great! They had timely responses and updates about my move, got everything packed and unloaded way faster than I had originally thought. This was my first time using movers and I will definitely use them again if I need to move in Austin!
Would recommend. They showed up when they said they would. And their prices were very reasonable compared to other quotes I got. Overall I was very satisfied with their services.
Jordan and Tony did an wonderful job. Arrived on time. Conscientious workers. Decent and fair pricing. Absolutely recommend.
We just had the most amazing experience with Common Sense movers. They talked through everything first, took more stuff than we expected, took less time than we expected, and charged significantly cheaper than other companies quoted. 10/10 experience. This is the best moving experience I’ve had in 10+ moves. I cannot recommend them enough.
I recently used Common Sense for a move within the city after reading good reviews of them. They were very communicative and worked with my schedule. The quoted price was reasonable and accurate after the work was done. The two movers were very nice, punctual, professional, and did quick work. I would not hesitate to use them again!
Holy cow, these movers were exactly like other's experiences. I've moved A LOT in my life and have hired movers for 1/3 of those, and these were hands down the best. They showed up on time, were done in less time than the estimate they gave me, moved quickly and carefully with delicate items and large furniture (I…
Dillian and Craig were top notch. I was provided a realistic quote on the move and they actually came in under the time so saved me money on the day. Highly recommend for your next move!
Only good things to say about Common Sense! Super friendly, extremely professional and efficient. They wrapped everything that was moved to protect each item. Pricing is very transparent as they told me a flat hourly rate up front with no extra fees at the end, and they kept me informed when the clock was running…
Awesome experience! They arrived on time and were way faster than I expected. Will 100% use them again for my next move.
Dillan and Levi did a GREAT job with my move last week. I can't believe two guys were able to move all of my stuff from one apartment to the other. Everything showed up flawlessly, not a scratch on any of my belongings. I was moving downtown with a tricky parking situation but they figured out where to park their…
I had a great experience with Common Sense Moving Company. Their pricing was excellent, and the service was professional, efficient, and stress-free from start to finish. During the move, a minor damage issue occurred, but the team addressed it immediately and handled it professionally by providing fair compensation…
Zach and Drew were outstanding. They consistently went out of the way to make the experience as convenient as possible. Even asked me how I would like my furniture laid out. They were very careful to make sure that no items were damaged and also very swift and quick. Overall would strongly recommend them.
After being stressed about moving for weeks, Zack and Drew did the job so well that all that anxiety feels silly now. Fantastic job and team. Very easy to communicate with and set up the booking. Showed up on time and finished ahead of time.
That was amazing 10/10 service, speed, and care for my items!! I’m definitely recommending to everybody that I know!! Also the most affordable pricing that I found on my look for movers!!!! Got quoted for 3.5 hours and they got it done in a little less than 2.5 and no hidden fees or surprises!
Common Sense is the best moving company!!! The attention to detail and thought when packing your items is great! Dillian and Craig were so efficient and kind. They also have unbeatable prices! Would highly recommend and will definitely call them for any future moves!
Hiring Common Sense Moving Company was hands down one of the best decisions I made during my move. They made the entire process stress free, seamless, and easy. The team was professional, efficient, and treated my belongings with great care. As a full-time student on a tight budget, I especially appreciated that…
I can't recommend Common Sense Moving enough. Zack and Drew were fantastic! Efficient, professional, and easy to work with from start to finish. Communication throughout the process was great, from quick email responses during booking to morning-of texts with updates. I had a smaller local move (roughly a…
The only company in Austin ill ever use again and again! These guys are so awesome and the absolute best. Services are fantastic, communication is fantastic, they work hard in a timely manner. Second time ive used them and will definitely be a repeated lifetime customer. Ive used 4 other companies to move and Common…
Common Sense Moving Company is phenomenal! They did an amazing job handling our move from South Austin to Leander. Even with some of our boxes left open and untaped, they took incredible care of all our furniture and belongings, ensuring everything arrived safely. Plus, they are reasonably priced and move so quick!!…
This is my first Google review I think ever. Let me just say that it is completely justified. Joel and Andrew were absolutely fantastic. I was quoted 4 hours and they got the job done in 2 HOURS. There was a key detail that I really appreciated and it was taking the stairs to make the job quicker. Although it…
I had such an stress-free experience. Fast & easy, so worth the price!
Easy 5/5 star review! These guys are legit and extremely efficient.
Can't recommend them enough. The movers did an excellent job, very professional.
Love common sense moving! The crew did a fantastic job moving me from Leander to Austin. They were fast but also very careful with my stuff. I would highly recommend them and would use them again in the future! Thank you!!!
Sam and Craig were absolutely amazing! Very professional and were on-time for scheduled start. They were fast and efficient! Can’t thank them enough for making this move so smooth and easy!
I don't know how many times I've moved in my lifetime, but it's a lot. I've never experienced a move as smooth and professional and easy as this. They showed up on time--maybe even a few minutes early--took great care of my stuff, were so efficient and quick, and really kind. I've never seen anything like it. Do…
Incredible service, friendly and very professional
I cannot say how great Craig and Drew were for our move this weekend. They arrived on time and worked very efficiently. It is my first time using movers so I did not know what to expect entirely. I did lots of research and ultimately landed on a trusty Reddit thread recommending this company. Common Sense made it…
So efficient and organized!
Absolutely amazing service! Tony and Nicholas were extremely fast and professional. I would highly recommend Common Sense Moving to anyone around Austin.
These guys were amazing. They did a fast, professional job. They were almost spot on with their time estimate despite me under estimating the number of boxes by 50% originally. It was great.
Great experience with Common Sense Movers. Very affordable, great communication, and friendly staff. Will use them again!
These guys are great! They were quick, careful with our items, and very nice to interact with. Don't consider anyone but Common Sense for your move!
I had Nick, Andrew and Vincent move me today, and was helped by both the booking manager and the owner prior to the move. I was impressed from the get go by how quickly I received responses to my questions that answered everything I asked. They were more than accommodating for some random requests we had, and came…
Can't recommend these guys enough. I worked with Dillian and Alec from Common Sense Moving for my move between apartments in early October. I can't say enough wonderful things about this team. They were punctual, communicative, and fair / accurate in their pricing estimates. They took incredible care of my things…
The guys were so nice, professional, and efficient. I was a little nervous about the whole thing due to past bad experiences with other moving companies, but they were careful and did a great job. One of the guys even gave me a puree cat treat for my cats after I was able to let them out of their carriers.
My movers at Common Sense were great, moved into a 2nd floor apartment with no elevator and they had no problem with all my furniture. They were always mindful of my time and were actively trying to shorten the length of my move-in time to lower my cost. They also have one of the lowest rates in the city and do not…
I had to move from a one bedroom to two that is both a 3rd floor building with no elevator. Definitely needed movers so was shopping around and found these guys that over a very clear price with no hidden / extra charges. After filling out a form, all comms were via email which was great and only at the day of…
Amazing move, so fast, only took 2.5 hours, took a part and put together 2 beds, couldn’t believe how fast this was. 10/10 will recommend everytime
Great movers, friendly efficient and careful! Reasonable pricing and up front about rates and estimate. Would go with them again next time!!
Wish I could give even more stars. I reached out to every moving company near Ben White and common sense was just that, common sense. I filled out their estimate through the website, received an email shortly after. Never had to call anyone. They answered my questions promptly. They were the best priced option. They…
Absolute 10/10 experience, could not recommend highly enough. Our crew (Zack and Nicholas) were incredibly friendly and professional, and Common Sense didn’t charge any surprise or extra fees - they were extremely upfront about what everything would cost, and their initial estimate ended up being spot-on. No extra…
Great reasonably priced LOCAL moving company! They did a great job. They were super efficient and took care to wrap items carefully making sure all items arrived un-damaged! Highly recommend!!
Thank you so much, Common Sense Moving, for making our local move stress free. Extremely efficient and professional. Highly recommended!!!
Drew and Donnie helped me move yesterday. Couldn’t recommend them enough! Great work and very competitive pricing.
I found these guys off Reddit, and will absolutely be using them again! Zach and Dillon were so kind, handled my move with ease and were SO fast. What normally takes 3+ hours they did in under 2. I’ve used several moving companies again but Common Sense just gained a new loyalist. Thank you!!
Paid significantly less than I did for my last move with a very established local competitor. Request Drew and Zack. Skilled, efficient, friendly.
This was my first time using professional movers, and I can’t imagine ever going back! Common Sense Moving was incredible, so professional, friendly, and efficient. They handled everything with care and made what’s usually such a daunting, exhausting process feel smooth and stress-free. I’m so grateful for their…
I came across this company through Reddit, and decided to end up using them for my apartment move. They did such a great job! Movers were super friendly, on-time, and patient with me throughout the whole process. I did lots of research on other moving companies in the city, and I feel like their pricing was the most…
these guys gave us an extremely fair quote, were very efficient, and were able to finish up early. can't recommend them enough!
