My Mother moved this weekend Saturday February 17, 2024. The 3 youngmen that moved her were very respectful, and professional. They told me their names, but I don't remember their names. I highly recommend Moving by Design you will not be disappointed. ✌️‼️

OVER PRICED!! Moving by Design had a call off & sent a replacement hours into the move which of course extended the time but still charged me for their delays. POOR CARE & DELIVERY!!! My glass vanity was BROKEN & dressers SCRATCHED!!! Boxes labeled Glass smashed. I did quote large boxes but packed medium boxes & they left half of the boxes not considering the size difference...so now MORE MONEY to finish the job.

I was to be the recipient of a piano that was to be moved from Pearland to Alvin. About an hour after the piano was picked up, this moving company let my sister know that there was an accident, that some straps broke and the piano had fallen over and was damaged. This was especially hard to hear after the movers repeatedly assured my family that the additional insurance we were considering purchasing was unnecessary - we paid for the minimum insurance. We are still being charged for the move while they are holding our piano and literally gluing it back together (though we have said that we didn’t want any repairs performed by anyone other than a professional). We haven’t even been given the opportunity to file a claim with the insurance that we had on the piano, so it seems strange and out of line that they would do repairs to an instrument they know nothing about before we can file a claim. Obviously, this will not be the end of our struggle with Moving by Design, but I hope that this review can prevent this from happening to another family.

This was my second time to contact Moving By Design to move me from one apartment to another in two years. The first time, the move was fantastic. They sent me three very experienced and professional movers. They moved me from a 1 bedroom apartment to a two bedroom. I was so impressed by the move that I knew they would be my to go to movers for any future moves. I contacted them back in April and set up a day and time. I contacted them a second time to change my date from June 26 to June 22. On the morning of June 22, 2020 two men showed up. Not the three men I was promised. I could tell right away that one man had no experience at all and the second man had minimal experience. They completely fumbled the move. My heart is broken and now feel violated by a company that I trusted with all my possessions. Attached are pictures of how they left my furniture. My son had to come over and put the bed back together. It was a disaster and i was charged for 8 hrs of moving. They had about 5 hours of down time. They left at 11:45 am to go to lunch and came back at 1:45 pm but did not get out of the truck until some time after 3:00 pm. They actually left the property with all my boxes on the truck. I filed a complaint with the BBB asking for a receipt and a complete record of the move paperwork . MBD has not responded to my complaint or provided me my resolution. Please be very careful if you are considering hiring this company. You may be expecting a great move that turns into a nightmare. I still have not received a receipt or paperwork from the move that I requested in my complaint with the BBB.

What was originally expected to be reasonable became very expensive at the end. The moving team did take care of the fragile items and worked quickly, however the boxes themselves added too much of a cost. You may think you only need 20, but end up using 50. Charging for boxes just seems silly. When I tried to express this concern to the owner, he seemed irritated with me. I had to rush to get extra funds I was not expecting on needing, just to satisfy him. Needless to say, I won’t use or recommend them in the future. Seems others had worst experiences than I did.
