Reviewers of Puget Sound Moving highlight punctual arrivals, efficient crews, and careful handling of furniture during local and cross-county moves. Positive feedback frequently cites clear communication, accurate billing based on estimates, and professional coordination from office staff. However, several low-star reviews report last-minute cancellations without contingency plans, disputes over damaged property claims, and instances where final charges exceeded the initial quote.

Friendly, efficient and motivated. From the estimate to when the movers left, everyone was very kind and patient with the chaos that is moving. Anything that needed protection was thoroughly wrapped and strapped inside the truck. The guys didn’t mess around or waste time. And they were very respectful of your stuff and your property! I’ll admit, it isn’t cheap, but throwing out your back is way more expensive!

They cancelled the DAY BEFORE I needed to move out of my apartment (my lease is up). I booked them 6 weeks ago. Their driver had a medical emergency today, and I’m so sorry for their driver, but they had no contingency plan. They cancelled and left me hanging. I had to scramble and call other companies at 3pm the day before I need to move.
