We had a great experience with Gentle Giant. Rachael Welch was a huge help, helping me plan and coordinate what we needed. The packing and moving crew - Wyland Palafox, Artem Shcherbyna, Eimis Tamoliunas, and Juan Rios - were careful, efficient, and considerate of our stuff. Our move seemed complicated and stressful…
Moving book cases and books from third story to basement. VERY efficient and followed directions well.
Kenny and Manty were professional, thoughtful and kind! Great service, very efficient. I absolutely recommend Gentle Giant services.
Kenny, Johnny, Leighton, and Artem did an absolutely incredible job moving us out of our townhome and into a house. I felt bad because the townhome had 4 flights of stairs and a lot of roof furniture but they handled it no problem. They wrapped everything that needed to be, handled everything extremely…
This is the third time we’ve used Gentle Giant Moving Company and everything went off without a hitch. Victor, Rachael, Eric and the crew of five guys were amazing. They worked fast and efficiently without damaging any of our personal property or our building. Great communication… Thank you for making this move so easy.
This team and overall experience were exceptional. My 3-guy crew was fantastic! Efficient, fast, intuitive, helpful, communicated clearly, helped above and beyond, and really nice guys. I loved working with them. The overall process was great from beginning to end -- booking, prepping the move, managing three…
Great movers! Dom and Sterling arrived on time, communicated well, and treated my items with the utmost care. They were fast and professional throughout. Great job! Thanks for taking some of the stress out of moving.
How can I give these guys 6 stars? Rojas Sipila and Jonas Kniuras treated all of my stuff with the utmost care (piano, bedroom furniture, etc.). They even disposed of old furniture for reasonable price. I’ve moved 4 times in Seattle and Gentle Giants has been my best experience thus far.
Great guys packing and moving and the process has been very straightforward
Good afternoon~ This is my second time using Gentle Giant. I was extremely pleased with both moves. The first move came in almost exactly as quoted- the difference was supplies. We changed residences. The crew was friendly and efficient. A good experience all around. The most recent move was transferring the…
We hired Gentle Giant to help us move across town. Communication to set it up and confirm was great and prompt. The crew showed up exactly when they said they would. They worked quickly and were very friendly and respectful of our items. This is my first time using movers and if I ever need moving services in the…
I had to move from one apartment to another last minute and I never used movers before and had heard good things about Gentle Giant so I decided to give them a try. On move in day, Henri, Artem, and Marcus were GREAT and made my moving so much less stressful than it could’ve been. They were fast and were also happy…
These guys were the best movers I’ve ever hired. Martin, Henry, Rafael, Johnny, and Aloy were not only super respectful and polite, but they also were extremely careful with every item, large or small. And they also worked diligently with speed and never stopped! They asked where items went when they weren’t sure,…
I had a positive experience with gentle giant and the two movers that helped me. It was a smooth process from start to finish. Alex and Manty were efficient and professional. Thank guys
Wyland, Joe W., and Daumantas helped me move into my new apartment. They packed everything carefully ensuring all the fragile items were safe during the move. They were quick and efficient and brought all the materials they needed to make the move as smooth as possible. Wyland explained the process to me, asked what…
I was amazed at the quality of my experience working with these folks. Great attention to detail in the estimate process, great pre move coordination. The movers kept up an impressive pace throughout and were very careful with all my items and with the apartments at both ends. Everything was left in its original condition. Absolutely recommend.
Very stress free and efficient moving with Gentle Giant! I had everything boxed up aside from larger items and the team loaded the boxes onto the truck and shifted towards the furniture which was wrapped and taken good care of. It was a 3 person team all were friendly and professional as well as fast! Manny, Marcus,…
Great experience with Gentle Giant - estimate was accurate, movers were very prompt and professional, and interactions with admin were all good
The crew who came to move us helped pack the last of our belongings as we were woefully underprepared (story of my life). They were quick, courteous, efficient, and very amicable. Can’t recommend them enough! They really put the effort in to make our move as smooth as possible.
A truly professional service in every way: great communication, superior value (quality/coat), timely and efficient move with engaging, charming and attentive burly men. The inventory list they offer is first rate!
Gentle Giant is great. What we liked: (1) Their ample crew of six emptied a 2,600 s.f. house in just three hours. They moved us into the new house in another three hours. That’s fast, but it wouldn’t have meant anything if they’d damaged the new house or our belongings. They didn’t. (2) They had enough truck…
The entire process was excellent. It was easy to coordinate and the team dropped off boxes and other supplies in advance of of our move date. The team that competed the move were incredibly polite, professional and took excellent care of all our belongings. I highly recommend Gentle Giant.
We called Gentle Giant to help finish our move. They helped us move our heavy, bulky, and awkward remaining items with ease and kindness. I couldn't believe they managed to get a large, elevated planting bed from our roof deck down all the floors of our townhouse without damaging it or the walls. They rounded up all…
Jovanh, Eimis, and the logistics team behind the scenes were amazing from start to finish. Their quote was accurate and highly competitive with other companies. They were very organized, showed up on time, and got the work done super quick. Absolutely nothing was damaged and the process was super smooth. If you're…
I had a great experience with Alex, Artem, and Oliver. They were efficient and very helpful. I was grateful they offered to help me move around furniture to where I wanted them to be place while moving in. Rachel was also very helpful with being flexible. Thank you.
These guys are really excellent. Fast, professional, super friendly, and careful. Wyland and Jonas came right on time and managed the stairs at the moving destination like champs. They handled everything from our couch to fragile boxes to the bed (which they also reassembled) with respect. The price is really great, too.
Thank you Viktor, Artem, Juan and Dauma! Fastest, most efficient move ever!
I'm so glad we chose Gentle Giant for our move! They truly did a fantastic job from start to finish. Communication was prompt and clear, and the moving teams on both days were considerate, efficient, and professional. For a full pack and move, the rate was reasonable, and the initial quote matched out final bill.…
This was the first time hiring movers and it was overall a great experience. From coordinating the move and communicating logistics they’ve really exceeded our expectations. Our movers Sterling, Jason and Daumantas all were nice, very professional, and efficient. It was also great to see their level of teamwork and coordination.
I had an amazing move with Gentle Giant. The office staff was incredibly responsive to all my questions and explained the process very clearly. The real stars were the moving team though, Manny, Joe, and Malakai moved everything I had quickly, they handled all my belongings with care, and they were so friendly…
We recently had a local move with Gentle Giant and had a wonderful experience. Our crew--Viktor, Artem, Graham & Manty--were efficient, professional, kind and incredibly caring with all of our items. We initially only packed for and planned to have them move our larger items and heavy furniture. However, upon…
Absolutely love this company. Jovann is a rockstar and so professional and helpful. Have used them for 3 different moves around Seattle and am so impressed every time. Truly the nicest workers and so understanding and careful with everything. Can’t recommend them enough!
Really wonderful experience with Gentle Giant. Especially with the crew that showed up and worked extremely hard all day (Jovann, Manny, Nate, Dom, and Jonas)! They were incredibly friendly, organized, hardworking, and great communicators. Moving is stressful and they made it the best experience possible! Highly…
Jason and Patrick were friendly and professional, took excellent care of my belongings, and got all my stuff to my new place in a timely manner!
Manny, Joe, Graham, and Dom were great! Highly recommend!
Sterling and Aloy did an excellent job with our move! They were professional, friendly and reliable. We had an amazing moving experience!
The movers were so quick, efficient, and careful with my belongings. It truly made the stress of moving so much easier, I would highly recommend Gentle Giant and I will absolutely be using them again for my next move!
Henri, Joe and Artem moving my house was an exceptional experience. They worked quickly but thoroughly and treated me and my family with respect and kindness. Fantastic job.
The 3 movers were on time, very communicative, and handled my belongings with care. They wrapped my furniture, worked smoothly, and asked questions for my preferences. They also disposed of old furniture for me fora reasonable fee that saved me money and time. The 3 movers that helped me move were Viktor, Eimis, and Jud! Very nice men.
I found Gentle Giant through a Google search and I'm so happy with how my move went. The crew assigned to my move: Wyland, Artemis and Eimes were professional and fast. All my belongings were treated with care - even my plants! They arrived on time, made their way to the next destination quickly and moved all my…
Working with the office through email was a breeze. All communication was prompt, kind and informative. They deliver you a box set weeks before your move if you choose and only charge you for the boxes you use. Movers showed up on time. Asked me about the plan before they started. We’re careful with everything.…
Wiley, Malachai, and the third guy whose name I unfortunately didn’t catch were excellent. Friendly, fast, polite, and careful with everything. They asked questions to make sure everything went exactly where I wanted it. When I decided to switch rooms after they’d already put furniture in place, they moved it…
Gentle Giant made our move completely stress-free from start to finish. The crew arrived on time, was professional, friendly, and worked incredibly efficiently while taking great care of all of our furniture and belongings. They handled everything with care, communicated throughout the move, and made what is usually…
Jovan, Malachi, Jonas, and Leighton were excellent movers! Fast professional and careful!
The move went very smooth All three movers were excellent, polite and processional. I highly recommend Gentle Giant. This is the second time I have used them
Sterling and Jonas did an amazing job moving me. They were both incredibly efficient and careful with my things. Process could not have been any easier.
The Gentle Giant Moving company offers an extremely reasonable price for the level of care that they combine with their industry leading expertise - Henri, Wyland, and Aloy were overly accommodating and remarkably efficient, completing our move across town in a matter of hours despite a shipper error in estimating…
Great guys, they made the whole moving experience fast and easy.
Terrific movers—-professional, polite, careful, efficient
I've never had a positive experience hiring movers until working with Gentle Giant. Viktor, Nathan, Marcus, and Manty were extremely hardworking, professional, friendly, and took great care of our stuff. Nothing was broken, scratched, damaged.....they didn't bump anything in our house. We had a heavy, large glass…
I've used Gentle Giant for five moves over the years, which makes writing this review particularly disappointing. The move itself went ok, but the customer experience felt dramatically different from what I've come to expect from the company. My scheduled arrival window was 9–10 a.m. When the crew called at 8:15…
great communication, great service, great pricing
We were happy with Gentle Giant over our two day move. They were communicative, courteous, and worked hard during a Seattle heat wave. They managed cranky neighbors and went above and beyond to get my furniture placed just right.
The reviews are true. These guys are the best. If you’re looking for trustworthy, no hassle and good vibes during your move…this is the place.
Kenny, Manty, Jude and Zack were great. Efficient move from one part of the city to the other. All items arrived in great condition
Henri and Patrick were efficient and communicative through the entire move. Would highly recommend!
The guys handled everything and did a great job.
I am glad that I got movers, but I think the difference was that I got the *right* movers with Gentle Giant. The team of Jovann, Ryan, and Jason were exceptional. Moving out: they arrived on time, right at the start of the estimated window, and immediately got to work. In less than two hours, they had moved out my…
We had an excellent experience with Gentle Giant for our move. The crew showed up right on time, got straight to work, and didn’t waste time. They were professional, careful with our belongings, and happy to place everything exactly where we wanted it in our new home. What really impressed us was their efficiency.…
I scheduled Gentle Giant to help me move from my one bedroom apartment into a two bedroom. They dropped off all the packing supplies I needed for my belongings a few days before the move. On moving day, they showed up right at the beginning of the scheduled window and moved very quickly to get my boxes out. They…
This was my first time hiring anyone to help me move so you could say I was a little bit worried about the process. However as soon as I submitted the request for a quote someone reached out to me to walk through the whole process. They cover everything so you don’t even have to worry. On my move in day I had Wyland…
This was our second move with Gentle Giants, and we will definitely use them in the future if we're ever moving again! Craig, Jonas, Marcus, Nathan, and Artem were great. They were on time, communicative, very efficient, and friendly. Our moving day went super smoothly because of their dedication and professionalism.
Alex and crew did an excellent job moving us into a four-story townhouse. Everything was well protected and kept clean. The guys worked efficiently and carefully. In addition to moving a pretty big library to the top floor, we also had them carry a set of weights into storage. We’ll use gentle giants again when we need to move back out!
We've used Gentle Giant for three moves now, and they've been fantastic every single time. I can't say enough good things about their team, who have gotten each of our moves done safely, efficiently, and with a tremendous amount of care. I would highly recommend their team for any and all moves!
From my first call asking for pricing to the final follow-up email upon completion, this was a top-notch experience. Rachael’s communication throughout the process was incredibly helpful. I changed my mind a few times, and she was always flexible, responsive, and friendly. She and the administrative team confirmed…
The team did a great job, were meticulously careful with our belongings, and were just generally lovely people.
Wyland, Aloy, Jovann, and Alex did a fantastic job with our move! The team packed all our furniture with care and completed both the pack out and delivery in under 3 hours on both ends. They were incredibly efficient and kept us informed every step of the way, and also communicated effectively with each other. My…
Great service, fast, got all my stuff done in a morning.
Smoothest move I've ever had. I used Gentle Giant to pack and move from SLU to Downtown. Every apartment building has its own unique requirements, and the team was very adaptable to the limitations at both locations. The team was the most efficient I've worked with. Everything was well packed. All the while…
Malaki, Steph and Wyland were fast, careful and professional. Highly recommended moving experience!
The 3 young men, Alex, Manny, Aloyzrd, were very personable and energetic. They packed the things I didn't get to and packed much better than I knew how abd labeled the boxes appropriately. Although I offered them a lunch break, the only break they had was driving 3 miles between locations. Great guys.
Absolutely amazing experience!! The team showed up 5 minutes early (I mean how rare is that with movers) and were ready to go right away. They handled every item with care and delivered it all to exactly where I wanted in my new place. I would recommend gentle giant for any move!!
We've moved twice with Gentle Giant twice and had great experiences both times. Most recently we had movers named Jovann and Wyland, who were excellent. They were SO careful with all of our belongings. We had some narrow doorways and big furniture pieces, and they avoided bumping into anything. They were professional, efficient, and kind.
The workers at Gentle Giant were amazing. Kind, efficient, and very strong. Erik and Manny were a great team and got my stuff loaded and unload quickly and with care. I had a great experience and would highly recommend them!
I would recommend Gentle Giant to anyone I know moving - the experience overall, from quote to final move in was positive. Everyone was friendly. The crew on moving day (Kenny, Malakai, and Artem) were fast, friendly, and efficient and made the move a breeze. Thank you all.
Victor and team were absolute professionals from beginning to end. My packing team, whose names I didn't write down, were also incredible. Highly recommended. My favorite moving service I have ever used.
The crew were very professional, efficient and kind. I recommend them!
Jovana, Artem, Martin helped us move from North Seattle (N 104th St) down to South Des Moines. Professional, supportive, with attention to details. Extremely polite crew! Highly recommend the company and this specific crew. Thank you so much!
Everyone at Gentle Giant was kind, accommodating, and knew their stuff. It was a smooth and quick move, and I'll be using them again in the future. Thank you for your service!
Alex, Josue, and Juan were so excellent and great to work with. It was a pleasure.
Such a lovely crew! Everyone was so considerate, through, communicative, and careful with my items! Will be hiring them again in the future.
Great experience from the get-go (even when I was difficult). Rachael was fantastic to coordinate with and explain everything, Erik was also fantastic and quick to send me a quote when I was having trouble seeing it on an iPad (not sure iOS plays well with their site), and I can’t say enough nice things about Wyland…
This was our second time moving with Gentle Giant and we'll gladly use them the next time we move. Viktor, Artem, and Marcus were fantastic. They were fast, careful, and communicative.
Wyland and Sterling were absolutely amazing. They exceeded expectations in every way. They were timely, courteous, and professional. All items were prepared, transported, and re-assembled with care. I cannot recommend them enough!!!
Working with Kenny, Manny and Ryan was a breeze! The move was smooth, efficient and fun! I can’t wait to move again so I can see those guys!
These guys did an excellent job.They were fast and efficient
DON'T THINK ABOUT IT. JUST USE THIS COMPANY. Alex, Patrick, and Marcus were absolutely amazing. They handled our things with care, were diligent throughout, and made the whole move feel easy. Highly recommend them and Gentle Giant. From the detailed booking forms and flexible options (we got packing materials,…
I used Gentle Giant for my local move from Seattle to Burien today. Viktor, Alex, Artem, Stephan and Joe. They were amazing. Best moving experience I've had. I also appreciated how flexible they were with the timing.
I'm super happy I listened to reviews of this company! It was easy to book and communication was excellent. Wyland and Jared were my movers, and they were fantastic. Their teamwork seemed great! Lightning fast (but careful and gentle!) and efficient, super nice, and just made the whole day easy. I was also impressed…
Crew was punctual, communicative, friendly, efficient, and respectful of my belongings! Would fully recommend Gentle Giant!
We had a wonderful experience with Gentle Giant. Viktor and his crew (Artem, Marcus, Patrick and Dexter) handled packing and relocating us from Seattle to Kirkland. They worked incredibly hard and accomplished both tasks without damaging any items or walls. They were incredibly courteous and professional throughout…
Wyland, Steph and Martin were absolutely amazing. Great service from start to finish and everything was done so seamlessly. Will definitely use this service again!
Jovann, Dexter, and Jason helped me move out of my 1bdrm apartment. Super nice guys, took a lot of care to wrap and secure delicate items. I would hire them again!
Gentle Giant for the win! Jovann and Wyland were wonderful! Efficient, respectful and fast. I would highly recommend using this company.
I just completed a local Seattle region move, and it was the best move experience I've ever had. Kenny was an absolutely outstanding leader of the team both days. He was very organized, quickly coached the team on next steps, and was very communicative and kind to us and his team throughout the move. The whole team…
So, you know the expression: not all heroes wear capes? Not in this case, Chuck & Alex had truly epic, albeit invisible capes, and gave us the most incredible experience for our first time enlisting professional movers. Not only did they come in almost two hours under the estimated amount of time, they both brought…
I cannot recommend Gentle Giant enough! This was my husband and I’s first time using a moving service, and we are so glad we chose Gentle Giant. The crew, lead by Craig, was seriously amazing. They showed up early, helped back up some miscellaneous breakables and moved every piece we had with such care and…
We are extremely satisfied with the services we got from the crew. All from communication, attention to details and they really wanted us to have a great moving experience. They were true to their estimate.
I had to get large items moved from a high-rise unit in a congested part of downtown Seattle and was dreading the experience. But Gentle Giant Moving Company was great to work with, from setting up the details over the phone with Alex, to the move itself. Jovann and Alex were the movers and they did a great job,…
Couldn’t have better things to say about Gentle Giant! From securing (and updating) a transparent estimate to checking in pre-move to getting the job done on actual day of the move, everyone involved has been attentive, professional, friendly, and swift. Jared, Patrik, and Steph showed up at 8am sharp on move day -…
Professional service and personable staff. Managed to get everything done within the estimated time even with a few last minute additional items. Parking, packing, and unloading were all handled expertly. I would recommend moving with Gentle Giant to anyone. Shoutout to Kenny and Joe for doing an excellent job.
This was the first time we hired professional movers and it was so much less stressful than doing it ourselves. Our movers Deneb and Chuck were a great team. They were professional, efficient, considerate and accommodating. They took great care with our items and the communication was excellent. We will need moving…
Gentle Giant did an excellent job helping us pack and move everything super fast! Would definitely recommend them.
This was my first time using a professional moving company and were very happy with gentle giant! We had the pleasure of getting Oleksandr, Manny and Juan help with our move. All three of them were professional, kind and efficient. The move went really well and even when there were some issues with large pieces of…
Deliberate and careful. Very hard working crew and very patient at the end with last minute shuffling.
Viktor and Wyland recently helped us move some furniture within our home and between our home and garage and they were EXTREMELY professional, careful, and respectful of the interior of our home. I would DEFINITELY recommend Gentle Giant for any moving jobs large and small. They were great to work with and very…
Our move went extremely well. The Gentle Giant team was quick, careful, efficient and especially friendly. Here's a shout out to Kenny, Manny and Patrick.
Kenny, Sterling, Steph and Artem were an amazing moving team and made the day complete seamless! Professional and efficient, I highly recommend Gentle Giant for your next move!
I just moved from a 3 bed 2 bath to a 4 bed 3 bath and my house was chaotic to say the least. I had quiet a few bags and boxes that needed moved along with an upright piano that they moved upstairs, etc. Victor K (one of my movers) has a great eye and was very helpful for deciding where I should place things. The…
Every aspect of my experience with Gentle Giant was 5 stars and every person I encountered provided exceptional customer service. I highly recommend them for any of your packing, moving or storage needs.
Fast and professional. Really great service end to end. The crew was friendly and efficient, moving up 3 floors without issue. I'd definitely use them again and recommend Gentle Giant.
Office staff easy to work with. Crew was friendly, efficient, careful and courteous. Overall a very good experience.
The two movers, Stephan and Oleksandr were both professional and casual, and got the job done very quickly and efficiently. It was greatly appreciated to have a smooth and friendly experience and to have the whole process taken care of. Very many thanks to them!
Very professional, friendly and efficient. They took great care with our possessions and worked with us to achieve a successful and affordable move.
We were so impressed by and grateful for the efficiency and communication with the Gentle Giant Team. We had a big move with very heavy items (piano) and many items of sentimental value from our family and the team handled everything with care and expertise. From the first phone call to talk through details with…
My partner and I had a great experience with Gentle Giant. Our movers, Alex and Stephan, arrived on time and completed the move before expected. They handled difficult to move furniture with ease, and came up with solutions quickly when our large couch would not initially fit through our new doorway. They were very…
Could not be happier with GGMC. Very efficient, from delivery of packing boxes, disassembly/reassembly of bed, placement of items at the destination.....superior service by two great humans. Much thanks to all at GGMC that made this possible
Jovann, Johnny and Joe were a fantastic crew! 10/10 would recommend to anyone who is looking at a daunting move. Gentle Giant will be my first choice for future moves. Thanks so much!
Patient and thorough despite our unusual situation. Came prepared with dollies, extra boxes, a ramp, etc. Finished up about an hour earlier than expected. I will absolutely be calling this company next time I move. Thank you to Kenny and Alex for making this such an easy day!
Great professional guys, very quick while also being careful with all the furniture.
