About Direct Relocation Services

Direct Relocation Services, located in Davie, Florida, is a moving and storage company serving Florida and Georgia. Unlike most moving companies, it handles both service sales and physical relocation across or within state lines. With over five years of experience, Direct Relocation Services offers competitive pricing and free online quotes.

Direct Relocation Services is both a carrier. That means that it provides the quote and physically transports the items, unlike many moving companies that will use outside companies to handle sales. Because it handles both quoting and moving, Direct Relocation Services has a 95% rate of the final price being within the initial estimate.

Direct Relocation Services reports to offer 24-hour customer service, which is atypical for the industry. It also provides $10,000 in third-party insurance.

Direct Relocation Services moving services

Direct Relocation Services offers a variety of choices based on customer needs. Some of the services for long-distance moves include:

Direct Relocation Services costs

      DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Everything seemed fine concerning our move with Direct Relocation Services till it was 2 days before our move and we still did not have a pick up of our furniture. After several contentious calls finally we received a date for our furniture pick up. The 2 movers who came to move us were awesome. The only good part of Relocation Services. When our furniture was delivered several items were lost or broken. One, a table, was documented by the movers.

      We attempted to make a claim for our damaged pieces. I filled out long papers but did not enclose copies of shipping paperwork because they were copies and very difficult to read. I asked to have Relocation Services forward their original copies of paperwork. They refused. I then was told in order to continue claim I would have to redo all the paperwork for the claim. All of this for the a very small reimbursement. I have to assume that they make this claim so difficult so they will not have to reimburse anyone. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY.

      They act as though your items are on the next truck out (in fact, I was told that 3 times -each time a week apart) when in fact, it sits in a warehouse somewhere. When I received my items, they smelled musty. And there is no communication unless you call them. Twice when I called Diego about the progress of getting my items on a truck, he said that Maria from the office would get back to me by the end of the day. It never happened. My stuff was picked up April 21st and not delivered until May 29th. One more day and they would have had to pay me $30/day for being late according to the contract.

      One of my cabinets arrived with tiny holes in the doors, the shelves falling out and the back pieces off. The drawer was off its rails, and it is not usable. I'm sure any claim will take longer than it did to receive my items. They tell you what you want to hear but then they do not follow up. DO NOT BOTHER TO USE THEM! I do not know why Safe Ship bothers to use them.

      It was handled quickly and without problems, even on short notice. The crew brought extra supplies, packed what was left out, and moved through each room without wasting time. The cartons were grouped in a way that made unloading simple. Items were placed where requested, and there was no need to move things again later. The team kept things on track from the moment they arrived, and the whole move wrapped up earlier than expected. It felt like the job was done right from the beginning.

      They moved my stuff across town last Thursday, and the whole thing took four hours from start to finish. Jacob asked me to walk through the apartment with him before they started so he could see which items needed extra care. He pointed at my mirror and said that thing needs a blanket wrap, not just plastic. They wrapped it in two blankets and taped it tight. The mirror arrived perfectly.

      This was just a small move from my student room back to my parents’ place. I had a couple of shelves, clothes, some boxes, and a bike. Bravo and his team didn't make a big deal about the small job and treated it like any other move. They loaded fast, let me grab a few last things from the room, and then we drove over. At my parents' house, they carried stuff inside and checked if I wanted boxes in the garage or my room.

      This company caused months of stress, confusion, and financial loss. Our move was scheduled for August 1, yet our furniture did not arrive until the end of September. Nearly two months passed with zero communication, and at times we genuinely did not know where our entire household was. Over the course of three months, we logged 45 phone calls (only 4 were ever answered). We also sent 27 emails, of which only 3 received responses when they had the word ’legal’ in the email. The level of noncommunication was beyond negligent. When we attempted to locate our things, we were repeatedly told the truck had “broken down.”

      At one point, we were told the truck was in a repair facility for two weeks, yet two different employees told us it was located in two completely different cities. Meanwhile, four people in the office admitted they could not tell us where the truck was at all meaning no one could tell us where everything we owned was. We called the facility that our AirTag said it was located at and he was the only guy who was able to tell us what was wrong with the truck and the exact location of the truck, and this guy didn’t even work for the moving company. We didn’t research to find out who we could call based on what our AirTag was telling us

      The only reason we had any idea where our things were was because we had placed AirTags inside multiple pieces of furniture. Without those AirTags, we would have had absolutely no way of knowing where our items were. Even more alarming, the AirTag directly contradicted what we were being told by the company about where the truck was. The problems began immediately. On our original pickup date, no one showed up and no one contacted us to say the pickup was canceled. I had to call the next day to find out what happened - there was no after hours service. One employee said there was a truck issue; another later said there was no truck issue at all and that they were simply behind on another job in a different city. The stories constantly changed.

      When our things finally arrived, they were damaged and incomplete. We are missing one entire box, had two broken lamps, two broken pieces of furniture, and there was sticky liquid spilled all over our electronics, causing further damage and concern. We reported the company to the Better Business Bureau. I lost three years off of my life. Do not fall for the good pricing compared to other companies. If you were thinking, this move might be better than other people's experiences - You are wrong. At all costs do not use this company. My sales representative’s name was Richard, and I could never get a hold of him. It wasn’t until I started telling him that everything was being documented in case we had to bring a third-party involved when he started to respond.

      This has been the worst moving experience ever. Pick up was scheduled for Tuesday between 10am-2pm. 2pm no truck, no call. We reach out to the company we booked with. They call the movers, they are running "late". It was supposed to be 2 28ft trucks. They show up after 8pm, state they are tired and ask to come in the morning. Wednesday am they show. Now the price changes. Also there isn't 2 truck because the other one broke down. We gave them our first delivery date as September 27th. Then they sad our items are being loaded on a semi to be shipped. We explained our new home cannot receive a semi. Mover calls the owner.. no big deal. They'll send it on 2 28 ft trucks.. I wait for delivery information. We call several times, keep being told they'll call us back.

      Finally Sunday October 5 they text and say the driver is trying to reach us. The driver is 2 hours away. No 24-48 hour notice. It's fine, we're happy to be getting our items. They show up with a 3rd of a truck full, say the second truck is right behind them. During unloading the driver mentions only being able to load so much due to weight issues. Then all of a sudden the 2nd truck isn't on the way. They have been paid 100% in full and we have less than half our items. But don't worry the first truck was filled with essentials, like our holiday decorations.... It's been 2 weeks and we still can't get a straight answer on when to expect the rest of our items. We've been told the will load within 24-48 hours for the last 14 days. They never call us. We call them multiple times a day. We've paid nearly 20k, which is twice our original quote for less than 50% of our belongings. If this is how they treat their customers I can't imagine how they treat our belongings.
