    Update 27JUL26: I still have not received my furniture. Originally was informed my delivery would be between 0-7 days since it would be under 500 miles. Then the mover told me 21 days. Called Safe Ship and the service representative stated between the 14th and 27th. Now I don't know when I will receive my belongings. I have been moved five times (personally and 2 by my company) and NEVER have I ever experienced anything like this. Do not use a moving broker, always work with an actual moving company. 14JUL27:Ersa was very professional and courteous. I would definitely use them again and would recommend them.

    Don't trust this company. I was moving from Virginia to Miami. They told one price then when I look they change the price from a larger box. Can you believe? I have only one mattress, one vanity and L shape sofa plus 25 box to be specific 21 large and 4 medium. I was told the price was not going to change. They lie to me. They told I removed two double dresser, a computer DESK, a rug plus the amount was 839.00 went to 912. How is the amount is lower? That is impossible.

    Do not use this service unless you want lots of stress. After listing items to be moved with them on the phone and paying half the total price down. The following week another person called to review the items and than stated that it would be an additional $5000 and argued with me about it. When the movers arrived they would not take the items unless I paid an additional $700 at drop off. It was constant back and forth with these thieves. Get a flat rate and skip these clowns.

    We Contracted with Safe Ship Moving in Nov 2025 to move our household goods from AZ to MO. They subcontracted us to a Moving Company Abwini Transportation Services. Abwini showed up with too small of a truck and the 2nd truck showed up a day later. The 1st truck showed up in MO almost 2 weeks later than we asked for delivery, the 2nd truck was almost 3 weeks late. Most of our property was damaged, for example our dining set was unusable due to gouges and sprung top alinement, chairs and hutch chipped.

    Safe Ship Customer Service just passed around from rep to rep, telling us they would get Abwini to correct issues. Safe Ship was Zero support; we were basically told us anything to get us off the phone and told to file for arbitration. Safe Ship and Abwini strung this out for 8 months finally offering to settle for $350 when they had destroyed thousands of dollars in furniture, some of it not replaceable. Our last correspondence with Safe Ship "Management" we were asked to give them 48 hours to get a proper response from Abwini, they then went silent and won't return requests for updates. Run from these guys, I would have given them below a one star, if possible, total mislead on delivery, costs, zero customer service.

    My items were picked up on June 24th. The pickup window was 9-11 am. By 12:00, after being on hold with customer service for 2 hours, they got a hold of the movers only for them to tell me they were running behind and weren't coming until 3:00. At 3:00, nothing. So I call customer service again to connect me to the driver. No response. Then 4:30 rolls around and they call and say "We're outside." Upon arrival, they tried to upcharge me $600 for my stairs AFTER I ALREADY PAID FOR THE STAIR FEE. They said "each step would cost me $75". Each step seriously. Obviously I did not pay that extra amount and I said they can either agree to the contract or I can cancel the service and they can leave. They agreed to continue the service. I was not given a single copy of my forms at pickup so my only form of communication was through Safe Ship customer service.

    From July 4th (my first available pickup date) to July 25th (yesterday), I called every two days to try to get a hold of my movers because they didn't give me any receipts, copies of my contracts, etc. Safe Ship customer service was of no help. All they told me was, "Sorry you just have to keep calling and we sent them an email but we can't cc you because that's against our policies." Finally yesterday after 3 weeks of calling every 2 days, I finally got a customer service agent who was able to have the movers pick up. They said they would call me within the next 24 hours. They did not do that. Instead I called customer service again later in the evening and after customer service called the movers again, they finally called me. They said, "We will be there tomorrow between 5-7 pm." Then the movers finally come.

    EVERY. SINGLE. ITEM. IS DAMAGED. LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE THING. Not only that, they spilled BEER on my boxes. Why would someone be drinking beer when they are at work and completing a service? Not only that, the movers did not even know which items were mine and which were for another customer. I had to sit outside as they unloaded so they wouldn't give me someone else's belongings. I am still in the process of assessing the damages but this is completely unreal the level of disrespect and lack of care in moving my belongings from across the country. I would never use this company. You'd be better off inconveniencing yourself and doing the trip yourself.

    I chose Safe Ship after reviewing multiple companies and thought I had done my due diligence. They were my fourth or fifth call and their initial price was much better than anything I had received till then, almost 50% better, I should have known then it was a scam, but I got suckered, mostly because I really wanted to believe.

    The person I talked to, Jacob ** was very nice, we walked thru my house together on FaceTime and I showed him everything I was talking. He did all the calculations and gave me a price of a little over $8k, I was very happy with that considering the next best price I had was around $13.5. So I told him I wanted to talk to my wife, but he said this was a one time offer because I was a veteran and they catered to veterans since the owner was also one. We finally agreed I would have half an hour and then the deal would be gone.my wife agreed it was a great deal and we should do it, so I called back and we did the paperwork. At this point I found out we had to put down $3,800 or so (not sure of the exact amount) to make this work. I did it (dumb I know) and we agreed on a date of June 1st. We had to put down 2 dates but Jacob said 95% of the time your first date is good (of course I was in the 5%).

    Fast forward to 3 days before my move, I get a call and am told my secondary date was going to be used as they were to busy on my primary date. And as a “formality” we needed to walk thru the house one more time to verify move and price. By the time we were done my new price was $18k and some change, more than double the original quote. Of course they were willing to work with me, so after crunching number they got me a deal of $13k, give or take. I told her I didn’t have it, she said ok, that I would have to make other arrangements.

    I wouldn’t get the $3800 back and I would have to secure new movers in 3 days, fat chance that would happen. She said I could use a credit card to pay the “new” deposit and I would be required to pay the rest, half on pickup, half on drop off. And they gave me a name of the company that would be picking my HHG’s up. They (Big shoulders) did a pretty good job and all my goods got loaded. Drop off was another adventure, I had to pay $1000 more because they couldn’t get a semi down my road, they picked my goods up in a box truck. I was also told my Sleep Number bed would be assembled in this end, the mover had no clue how to do it, we had to get a hotel cause we had nowhere to sleep. By the time all was said and done, the move cost almost $15$, almost double what I was originally quoted.

    Bottom line, find a company close to u that can come out and see what you have and are going to move, DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE, they do not care about you or your personal items. I made this mistake once, I won’t make it again. Don’t be stupid like me, save yourself a ton of heartache and find a company you can trust. Moving is hard enough anyway. Good luck on your move!!!

The refuse to help us and instead are supporting the criminal and fraudulent movers they assigned us to.

    This is a BAIT and SWITCH operation with zero integrity. They are dishonest and take advantage of the customer at every turn. My husband retired the end of May after 50 years of being a pastor. We are good and honest people and have always lived below our means and paid cash for everything. I was even accidently texted with a message making fun of how much they charged me for my few belongings and ending in LOL.

    If I could give them zero stars I would. Avoid this SCAM at all costs. They were contracted by SAFE SHIP to pick up all of my personal belongings over two months ago in California for a move to Massachusetts. For almost a month my family has been essentially begging them for ANY information about where my belongings are and when they will be delivered. It wasn't until this week, TWO MONTHS AFTER PICK UP, that they finally admitted that ALL OF MY BELONGINGS are still sitting in a warehouse in CALIFORNIA because they "can't find a driver" and are now saying that they won't be able to to do the job that they SIGNED A CONTRACT COMMITTING TO. How are you a MOVING company, but you don't have a DRIVER?! Not only that, they simply will not give us any information about what they even plan to do to help get my personal belongings returned.

    We call them everyday and either get voicemail or a "customer service" representative who has no idea what is going on and has no desire to help whatsoever. I have been living in an empty apartment for two months working at a brand new job. I've been forced to buy new clothes and other items so I don't have to wear the same thing everyday to my new job.

    I highly suspect that they might not even know where my belongings are located and are hoping that I will give up asking about it so they can just keep the money I already paid them. OH and BY THE WAY, they initially quoted us $8000 for a one bedroom apartment move (already WAY overpriced, but I couldn't do a move by myself from CA to MA), but when they picked everything up and loaded it in their Uhaul (yes they just rented a damn UHaul) they then told us that it was actually going to cost $17,000. I DON'T EVEN OWN $17,000 WORTH OF BELONGINGS. This company is a negligent, disgusting, criminal group of scammers. DO NOT HIRE THEM.

    The actual packing went well, but the delivery experience was less than ideal. They gave a 14-day business-day window for my move, and say that the driver will contact you 24 hours ahead of time the day they will be there. So on day 13, I call only to find out that nothing has been loaded, and their third-party American Knights Shipping and Storage doesn't have a driver available. I am told they will send an email to them and CC me to keep me abreast of when everything is loaded etc. Well, I never see an email. I am also told on the call that they deliver on weekends as well and that it counts toward the days to delivery. The contract states that if over the delivery window, it will absolutely be delivered no more than 30 business days.

    Well, I call back 1 week later, and I am told the email was never sent because they never cc customers on emails. I am referenced to the 30 business days despite someone telling me weekends and holidays are included in expected delivery window, and that the truck still hasn't been loaded. My first avail delivery date was June 13, so they told me it takes at least 5days from that date to arrive, so I am waiting the 30 business days from June 18. They actually call me the next day after my second call to say the truck has been loaded and the driver will contact me 24h in advance.

    Well, my stuff was finally delivered July 16, which is 21 business days after... When it arrived, they left an item with me that wasn't mine, asked me how I wanted my bed to orient, then when I told them, said they wouldn't be able to fit all the boxes that way, so I just told them ot put it however they wanted .... Overall, not a great experience; poor communication. Will not use again, and they did not give any discount for arriving after their stated delivery window,

    We would NOT recommend Safe Ship. You pay 40% "broker" fee and they make a few phone calls on your behalf. Customer service was horrible. We made minor changes/increase to the move and Safe Ship charged us another $1200 "broker" fee. What's worse? The contracted moving company called us on THE DAY OF THE MOVE, within one hour of pickup and stated they need to move the date. When I called Safe Ship, they weren't even aware of the change. Unsure what we actually received for a total "broker" fee of $4200. PLEASE, PLEASE work directly with a moving company. It'll save you money and heartache.

    Absolutely HORRIBLE experience. I would give this company a 0 star rating if I could. I canceled my move 30 days in advance, yet they still kept my $1,200. I'm a college student, and $1,200 isn't pocket change, it's money I worked hard for & can't afford to lose. Keeping that much money for a move that never happened is unbelievable. We even filed a dispute with our credit card company because this is extremely unfair and instead of doing the right thing, the company fought the dispute and still kept my money. I have never dealt with a company that made me feel so taken advantage of. If you're thinking about using this moving company, DON'T!!

    This is a classic bait and switch moving company. I was quoted under $3k for my original move, then 4 days before my move (despite none of my inventory changing), they said my move was going to cost $5.5k and I would need to add more to my deposit. I told them I wanted to cancel my move, and they made me wait on hold with billing for an hour. Then, being past their 72 hour window, they said I would not get back my original $1k deposit. Now days before my move, I’m scrambling to find new movers. Customer service is clearly aware this is a common problem for them. Talked to a friend later said they were literally paid to remove their negative review. Such a scam. Please save yourself and do not use this company.

    Original Review: July 19, 2026

    Updated on 08/16/2026: After posting my original review, SafeShip contacted me regarding my experience and stated they would provide a $1,200 credit due to the poor service I received. Malike from SafeShip told me that I was required to remove my review before they would provide the settlement statement and issue the credit. I complied with that condition and removed my review in good faith. Unfortunately, despite doing exactly what was requested, I have not received the settlement statement or the $1,200 credit. Since then, Malike has continued to email and call me, stating that they are still working on getting the settlement statement and payment sent to me. I find this extremely disappointing. I upheld my end of the agreement immediately, yet SafeShip has still not fulfilled the commitment that was made to me.

    This comes after paying more than $19,000 for a White Glove moving service that I did not receive, dealing with damaged belongings, improperly assembled furniture, unfinished work, and a lack of management accountability. I originally removed this review because SafeShip specifically requested that I do so as a condition of receiving the $1,200 credit they offered. I am reposting and updating my review because, despite complying with their request, that commitment has still not been honored. At this point, my concern is no longer limited to the original moving experience. It is also about how my complaint has been handled afterward. I expected SafeShip to stand behind what was communicated to me and follow through on its commitment.

    Original Review: I hired Safe Ship for my move from Connecticut to South Carolina after being sold a "White Glove" moving service. I was told I would simply open my front door and the movers would handle everything. With a move costing over $19,000, I expected the premium service I was promised. The pickup crew from Frank's team at Moving Express & Storage was outstanding. They were professional, organized, and exceeded my expectations. I even left them a glowing Google review. Unfortunately, the delivery was the complete opposite. My shipment was split between two trucks, resulting in unnecessary handling that I believe contributed to the damage.

    Only one truck arrived on May 1, with the second arriving the following day and leaving before the job was complete. Boxes remained throughout the home, furniture was assembled incorrectly or not at all, and many tasks were left unfinished. Issues included broken furniture, a broken TV, broken glass, tape left on hardwood floors, incorrectly assembled tables and bed frames, a damaged patio table, a broken dresser, bent coat rack, incorrectly assembled Peloton, a loose banister, and labeled boxes placed in the wrong rooms. To be fair, the delivery crew appeared to have little leadership or supervision. They struggled with basic assembly tasks, and management at Moving Express & Storage should never have sent a crew to a customer's home without an experienced lead. That is a management failure.

    I paid over $19,000 for a White Glove service that I did not receive. Like purchasing a $35,000 vehicle, no one expects to receive only half of what they paid for. I expected a complete, professional moving experience—not damaged belongings, unfinished work, and poor customer service. Most disappointing is the lack of accountability. Despite these serious issues, I have not received a call from management at either Safe Ship or Moving Express & Storage. I have been patient and professional, but both companies are leaving me with little choice but to pursue other options if this matter is not resolved promptly.

    After everything was packed and loaded in the truck the price tripled. I called Safe Ship they got the price down but still double the quote. When our furniture was delivered the crown molding on my chest dresser was broken off, the on/off switch in our receiver was broken and a big chip was in my cherry buffet. I filed a claim and was told the damage wasn't covered. Safe Ship did nothing to help. Don't believe their lies. They are not reliable.

    Do not use Safe Ship. Run and save your sanity. I want to give it a negative 10 star. We’ve been waiting on our out of state delivery of the entire house since 7/1. Their 1-10 day delivery window is a joke. The customer service is absolutely useless and the carrier unreliable. At first the carrier told us he was loading our stuff on 7/1. Then nothing. Absolutely no communication from anyone. When we reached out numerous times for an update to both cs and the carrier. We were just told our last date of that 10 day window was 7/14 and that we’d get the 24 hour prior to delivery phone call. Nope. There has been absolutely no phone call, update or communications of any kind.

    Then after we reached out over snd over, we were finally told the delivery date of 7/16, then it changed to 7/17 then 7/18 which is today. And guess what? The carrier texted us today that he’s not gonna make it today. Who knows when our stuff is coming? Quite literally does anyone know at this point? This has been the most frustrating experience I’ve ever had. We’ve had to take days off work anticipating a delivery. We’ve been sleeping on floor, having to eat out since my entire kitchen is held hostage somewhere. Do not use this company. Again run.

The team was pleasant and courteous and easy to be around they worked fast and efficiently.

    YURI was the team leader and very organized. Jarvis contacted me after the Pick Up of our furniture to check to see how the packing stage and loading stage went. Both YURI and Jarvis were extremely professional. Our furniture is being delivered tomorrow and we’ve already received a call from the delivery team who will unpack us and put things in place.

    Be aware that Safe Ship is a moving broker, not the actual moving company. They contract your move out to a third-party carrier, which allows them to avoid taking responsibility when things go wrong. Our move was assigned to Mirit/Great American Moving, and the experience was disastrous. Our delivery was delayed for weeks beyond the promised date, leaving us in an empty home with none of our belongings. When our items finally arrived, we discovered extensive damage. Multiple belongings had been soaked with water, including our king-size mattress and box spring, and several large pieces of furniture were damaged beyond repair.

    When we contacted Safe Ship, they told us the damage was not their responsibility and directed us to file a claim with the subcontractor’s claims company. To make matters worse, the lead mover refused to communicate with me—even though I arranged the entire move—and instead would only speak with my husband. When I questioned the damage, he became hostile and even cursed at me. Our belongings were delivered on March 3, 2026. After thousands of dollars in damage, we were offered only $75 in reimbursement. That is completely unacceptable. Safe Ship should be held accountable for the companies they hire. If they choose the carriers, they should ensure those carriers are reputable, professional, and capable of handling customers’ belongings with care. Based on our experience, Mirit/Great American Moving should never be used. I hope sharing our experience prevents someone else from going through the same nightmare.

    Do not trust this company. This is broker. First quote they give for attraction, then they give you 3 quotes, each higher than the others. Then the drivers are not reliable. I used this company moving from California to Washington state on February 2026. And every was broken or missing. More than $10000 dollars damage and only their insurance offered me $189.60. At first they told me if insurance doesn’t pay enough, call us and when I call them, they said that is good offer. My sofa and 2 dining chair was missing; they said is not in inventory. Any way big price and big headache. I wouldn’t trust the company.

    BE WARY! The worst part of AZIMUTH GROUP and SAFE SHIP MOVERS is that they have absolutely no regard for anyone or the heartache they leave behind. People move for many reasons but mostly they are moving for employment and are incredibly busy and stressed. These companies bank on that. When they deliver your items, the majority damaged, broken, and missing. They bank on that you are too busy to get entangled trying to hold them to account and make things right. They offer pennies on the dollar at best to settle what goes beyond the contract you signed for $.60 to the lb. into pure negligence. They make it difficult to go to arbitration or take legal action and again, they are counting on people who have been in the moving process are busy trying to adjust to their "new" environment and life.

    That's what makes what they do despicable, and the negligence they inflict beyond deplorable. Be very careful if you read an "excellent" or even "good" review on these companies. One of the absolute worst experiences you will have. They respond with they will review and reach out to work with you but that is also false. They will offer you NOTHING. I counted on and supported Safe Ship claims of being military veterans and wanted to support them, what a disheartening mistake; they sent thieves and thugs to my home. Shame on both Safe Ship and Azimuth Group for being dishonest. They deserve zero stars.

    Late pick up, several days late in delivery, even though I paid for expedited. You are not brokers - you are predators. When your salesperson called me the day after pick up pressuring me to send a review before the delivery was even scheduled, I knew I was in trouble. But because you were holding my furniture hostage, there was nothing I could do but wait. I would have had much better luck renting a truck from Home Depot and hiring a couple of guys off the street (as I told you in later phone calls). This is a hugely expensive scam!!

I explicitly told them that I would not be available the 7th day after. They said they would give me a call the day before they arrive.

    Today is the 6th day after and they are JUST STARTING TO DRIVE. I couldn’t get a direct response from the company and some guy named Adam, who was dismissive and tried to gaslight me saying that he called yesterday WHICH HE DID NOT. I had to call today in order to figure out when my stuff is coming. The driver said maybe tomorrow aka THE 7TH DAY WHICH I AM NOT AVAILABLE. I don’t even know what to do anymore.

Phil said and I quote, "Well it's a little late for wasted time, why did you even call back then?" AND THEN proceeded to hang up when I stated he was being forward. A lot of pressure for my big move and I did state I didn't want to make any commitments as I was browsing prices - it just felt like a sale, which I get.

    After my experience, the moving department contacted me and a resolution has been agreed upon. I appreciate the quick and attentive responses.

    Original Review: July 11, 2026

    There is pressure to sign a contract… saying the price will go up if you don’t sign now, you’ll be within a month and will be hard to find a moving service, etc. The movers that picked up my items were very good. Then the items were stored for about 20 days. Once I had a permanent location and contacted them, at the number I was given, no one ever answered the phone. It was all by text. The texts were grammatically very hard to read. I always had to contact them, they never once contacted me. It took them over 3 weeks to get my items scheduled and on a truck, waiting. Then the excuse of the holiday. The 4th of July is the same date every year. As a business operator, that is worked into your schedule, or it should be.

    My items finally left. Again, I had to contact the shipper for information. Very vague answers on a delivery date. I finally hear from the trucker, a week later. He says between 4-6 and he would call me an hour before. At 4:30… nothing. So, once again, I contact him. He says an hour more. The communication with this group is beyond lacking and does not instill confidence in the job. I’m hopeful my things arrive in one piece and this goes smoothly at move-in. Ridiculous. If I ran my business this way, I wouldn’t have a business.

    Do not use this company. They use bait and switch tactics to greatly increase the amounts they charge for services. After your initial quote they book your move at a low figure. Then, two days before the date of your move they call again to "verify" your items. At this point the size and type of items you are moving is drastically different than what they were before. They will increase the amount of space you will "need" and effectively double your moving cost. Oh, they will apologize for the misrepresentation of your items on the first quote.

    VETERANS…Do NOT USE Safe Ship! I’ve moved constantly over my 20 year military career, and I have NEVER had to deal with this kind of back-and-forth unprofessionalism. First, my quote literally doubled just 4 days before my pick-up date. When I called to cancel, they “magically” found discounts to bring the cost back down to the original quote- a classic bait-and-switch. Fast forward to moving day, each member openly asked for a tip or asked “what they could take” as a tip. At delivery, only ONE person showed up! I paid a premium to not have to do this myself and I ended up having to help move my own furniture. To top it all off, I ended up with an extra mattress and couch cushions that didn’t belong to me. When I called, their response was “just throw them away”. SAVE your money and your sanity….AVOID this company at all costs!!

    I was outright lied to by Nick **, Operation Manager. I wanted to wait to pay the deposit for a couple of days but was told that there was a good chance my needed move dates might not be available if I waited. I then was promised the deposit would remain in pending and not posted for 30 days. I paid the deposit and the following day it posted, which may cause an issue with the closing on my house since it now shows on my last statement before closing. I was totally lied to to get the contract. I asked for them to refund the money, and I would wait a couple of days and resubmit, but I was told my move would be cancelled and could not guarantee that I could get the move rescheduled. Fast-talking crooks.

    I would give this company zero stars if I could, but you have to star them. I have never been so upset and dissatisfied with a company in my life. First off, Do not believe their quote. I ended up paying almost $4000 over what they initially quoted me. The movers they use are contracted, they are not part of this company, and they do not communicate with each other. Both movers added extra costs on moving day- including holding my furniture hostage on arrival until paid more than $500 over what I was quoted as my closing balance.

    My furniture was mangled, boxes crushed, things leaked and spilt. They completely lost a solid oak coffee table and have offered no solutions, and the "white glove" service consisted of two men who proceeded to gouge holes in my apartment hallway that I am now liable for. Not to mention they did not arrive at the stated time but hours later, causing me to interrupt my neighbors well after 10 PM. Everything I was promised was a lie, down to the customer service. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. You would be better off leaving everything behind and starting from scratch.

    Safe Ship felt like a con, and I was highly disappointed. They set poor expectations, telling us that the initial call would take minutes when it really took over an hour and included a video walkthrough. The operation felt like a bait and switch because once we committed to an already astronomical price, the Quality Assurance person requested another video walkthrough and ended up increasing our price by over $1,000! At that point, we were too committed to cancel. The move date was not a set date, but a range. We had to keep calling to get that pinned down.

    The movers on the initial side did a pretty bad job, packing things we asked NOT to come, and leaving behind important things we had on our inventory list. We also found out they wouldn't pack liquids. Who leaves behind all liquids, which includes toiletries!? It seemed this service wasn't even meant for moving since you don't get your stuff the same day. We had to pay extra for guaranteed delivery the next day. How is one supposed to plan a move like this? The movers on the second side did a great job, so that's why I will give 2 stars. Oh, and their customer service was just an AI. When I pushed back on business practices, my concerns were not addressed at all.

    After a positive interaction with Safe Ship Moving Services, Dave increased their star rating on July 10, 2026.

    Updated review: July 10, 2026

    My issue with them has been resolved.

    Original Review: July 4, 2026

    If you're thinking of using this moving company, I would turn and run. The whole experience was horrible. Our initial estimate went relatively smoothly. The guy assured us that a week before our move-out date, there would be another call to go over the final packing list and specifics, so we didn't need exact measurements. We only learned during that later call that he had put in the smallest-sized items to make the initial estimate seem reasonable. When we had that later call, our price estimate increased by over 50%, more than $1,500 higher than before. By then, it was too late. When we pressed the QA rep who did the second call, he just said we shouldn't have signed the initial contract. Apparently, it was our fault we didn't know the first guy had put in the wrong information and that we didn't know we got scammed.

    After all of that, we were told the actual movers, who aren't Safe Ship because Safe Ship is just a broker, a middleman, would call us 24-48 hours before they came to give us an estimate of their arrival. We had to call Safe Ship customer service to get in contact with the movers since we were never contacted. We were then told the movers were scheduled for 9-11 a.m. the next day. The movers were supposed to call us 30 minutes before they arrived so we could expect them. There was no call. They just knocked on our door at 9:15 a.m.

    The actual movers themselves were very nice in person. We were told by Safe Ship that our delivery date at our new apartment would be 0-7 business days from the first available day, but the movers would be able to narrow that down when they picked up our things. The movers weren't able to narrow it down. Two days later, I emailed the movers and called Safe Ship (since I didn't have the movers' number) to see if they had an estimated delivery date. They couldn't get in contact with the movers. I called multiple times that day, and it was the same answer. The next day, the same thing.

    Finally, at 8 p.m., three days after pickup, the movers responded to Safe Ship, saying that in 2-3 days they could narrow down the delivery window for us, but they didn't know anything further. Three days passed, and no answer. Four days after the movers finally responded, I called Safe Ship asking if they had an estimated delivery date. They did not. They again couldn't get in touch with the movers. The NEXT day, they finally got in contact with the movers, and the movers said they would be at our apartment either that day or the next. So, over a week after the initial pickup, the first time the movers were able to narrow it down, they said, "Oh, we may be there today." When I asked if they were able to say whether or not they'd actually come that day, Safe Ship couldn't get in contact with them.

    The movers called me at 9 p.m. that night, saying they'd be there around 8 a.m. the following morning. Again, the actual movers were very nice when they were in person. I can't say enough bad things about this experience. Between the insane price increase, being patronized by the QA guy, and the movers being impossible to contact, this was a horrible experience. I would rather burn all my possessions and start over than ever use Safe Ship again. This company is a SCAM. They are not the movers. They are the middleman. They help in no way and take a huge cut of the estimate, driving up the price. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT use them. If you are thinking of using them, don't. If you are still in the 3-day window after initially booking them, cancel ASAP. If you're past that 3-day window, good luck.

    PLEASE LOOK ELSEWHERE!!!! The absolute worst movers there could be and I’ve moved from country to country and states to states multiple times. First increase in price to have them complete the job so instead we had to move the items from the semi to our truck into our apartment (so imagine if we didn’t have truck to be able to do that). Then we call to ask for a a small refund since we were now tasked to do the job that we asked they were extremely rude, dismissive and saying we should’ve paid the extra money then (money that we just don’t have after moving coast to coast). They then blocked our numbers after we tried asking to speak to someone that could actually help us. I’m now leaving reviews anywhere and everywhere to warn other please save time money and a headache of this place. And for all of you reading the responses to these comments of one star reviews.

    I hope you noticed that they are also still not reaching out to the customers. They just say that “their team is working on it” and nothing is actually being made happened or changed, so they continue to know that they have these poor reviews and still do nothing about it. The cherry on top of all of this is that they also did not inform us on when our stuff with arrive and told us originally that it was going to be before the new month started but instead it was a week after and on July 4 a holiday, so quite a nuisance and again had no regard.

When movers arrived, the cost increased by 3000 since they could not do it with the cost they were given. Safe Moving is not honest or have any professional ethics.

Never had roaches in the four years. I was living in my apartment. Decided to buy a brand new house. No roaches at all. Safe ship moving truck arrives. I have them place boxes in garage so I can do inventory. And what do you know they bring in my boxes. Open one to see if any of my items were damaged because boxes were all beat up and bam a baby roach 🪳 comes running out. I killed it as soon as I could.

    I informed the delivery guy and he laughed it off. This has been a horrible experience with this company from start to finish. I would not recommend this company to anyone. Also delayed delivery.

    On May 31, 2026, Safe Ship Moving Services (SSMS) and Azimuth Group, Inc provided me with a moving quote of $10,903.56 based on an itemized inventory list that included the inventory, the quantity of the inventory, the volume of the inventory, and the weight of the inventory in 3 storage units. The list was created by Need It Moved, the company that placed the items in the 3 storage units last year. I signed a contract with SSMS on June 1, 2026, with the understanding that the quote is $10,903.56. On the date of pick up (June 27th) at the Extra Space Storage facility in Columbia, SC, Azimuth Group Inc, the carrier for SSMS, decided to charge me an additional $2,084.06 by claiming there were unaccounted cubic feet. This is despite the fact that SSMS had an inventory list that not only contained all items in the storage units, but also the total volume and weight, since May 31st.

    Azimuth Group Inc gave me the option to either pay the extra $2,084.06 or they would leave all my items in the third storage unit behind. This is classic bait and switch where an initial estimate was provided in a signed contract, but on the date of the actual service, there is a substantial price increase. I have escalated this matter to upper management at SSMS, but no resolution that honors the original contract was reached. It is important to note that although the pickup date in Columbia, SC, was June 27th, and the delivery location is in Bel Air, MD, as of June 30, 2026, I have not received any of my items.

    DO NOT sign the form they send you initially without reviewing it CAREFULLY! They rush you through what all you have then don't put it all on the list and tell you to sign it so they can get it booked. Then they call and go over your inventory again later and claim they didn't know of all the items and want to charge you MORE! They then blame it on you for signing the first form. DO NOT TRUST them!

    This is a horrible company. It is such a scam. They have had our goods since early June and there is no word on delivery date. It is a moving target. From the "first available delivery date," sometimes they say it will be 10 business days, sometimes 21, and sometimes 30 business days. They have made zero effort to actually move the goods and have provided zero information. I wanted out of my contract and to get the goods and rive them myself, but they will not provide that. They are holding my things hostage! At this rate, it could be November before I get them.

    Updated review: July 2, 2026

    Customer Experience and the contracted carrier have offered compensation and a resolution that I have accepted as fair. While it does not completely make up for the stress of the experience, I feel they acted in a professional manner to resolve the loss of my items.

    Original Review: June 29, 2026

    Whatever you do, use another company for your long-distance move. This was, without question, the worst customer service experience I've ever had. The process started with what felt like a bait-and-switch on pricing, followed by major delivery delays and a complete lack of accountability. I was initially given an estimate that ended up being nearly half of what I ultimately paid. During the inventory process, the salesperson added descriptors like "child-size" and "small" to several of my items. I didn't catch those changes at the time, but when Quality Assurance completed the final inventory, my quote nearly doubled.

    The carrier made a clerical regarding my First Available Delivery Date, saying I could not receive my belongings for almost 30 days. I had an Air Tag in my property, and watched it sit in a truck in the Las Vegas heat for almost two weeks as a result of this error. Safe Ship refused to offer any compensation because, according to them, it didn't technically violate the terms of their contract. That may be true contractually, but it doesn't make the experience acceptable. Ironically, the movers themselves, who I observed smoking marijuana in the loading dock after unloading my belongings, actually did a good job handling my furniture. Under different circumstances, I wouldn't have even mentioned it. However, after everything else that went wrong, it only added to my concerns about the professionalism of the overall experience.

    I'm still missing my toolbox and one of my tables. My totes and trash bin were also very damaged when I received them. I opened an escalation request asking to be compensated for all the issues, and to have my charges adjusted back to the original quoted amount. The response from Customer Experience was essentially that because I would only accept the original quoted price, they would not offer any compensation for the pricing discrepancy, the delivery delay, or my missing items. This company caused far more stress than any move should. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

    They promise you the moon when they want to close the deal. Afterwards, I left various messages to the agent Zachery, who promised that he will always be there if I had any questions. Left messages various time and never got a call back. Same goes for his brother, Jason. After they hook you, they don't care, all talk up front and no help afterward. Next time, there won't be a next time. I will be more careful.

    Some people obviously have had a good experience with Safe Ship, and I am honestly glad for them. My experience was very poor and I would never want anyone to go through what I did. The main complaints I have with them is as follows:

    - Confusing sales process, conflicting information regarding moving instructions. I talked to multiple people during this process and they all said different conflicting things.

    - Unnecessary pressure to sign. Safe Ship really wants you to sign a moving agreement, so much so that the sales people will hound your phone until you do. I felt like I was at a used car dealership. This should have been my first sign to go with a different option.

    - Tons of guarantees, nothing to back them up. I had a horrible experience with the mover they chose, and when it came time to do something about it, they wore me down by making it incredibly difficult to talk to someone who could help. By the time I reached their "highest level" of support, I had explained my entire story 5 times, and then had to do it a 6th time, because either no one was leaving notes or no one was reading them.

    - The movers (chosen and guaranteed by Safe Ship to be high quality) failed to show up even remotely on time and they packed my things poorly, causing many things to be damaged. They blatantly disregarded instructions I gave them about specific boxes / items, almost as though I didn't exist at all. I did not get the sense that they really cared at all.

    When I tried to work with Safe Ship to resolve the poor experience, they consistently waived away my issues and blamed everything on the movers (as though they weren't the ones Safe Ship chose and guaranteed). They eventually offered me a very small "credit" in the form of a LEGAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT waiving them of all responsibility and having me admit they were not at fault, while also limiting my ability to speak out about the experience. They refused to issue any kind of standard credit despite my thorough documentation of the issue.

    In Summary: I just don't see the value in what Safe Ship brings to the table. They are just a broker that gets a finder's fee with the "guarantee" that they will make sure you get a quality mover. It is clear to me that they are just banking on the likelihood that your experience with the mover goes well enough, but if it doesn't, they really don't have much incentive to help you. You might as well save some money and go directly through a shipper if you can, or you can do what I have done in the past and use a container shipping service and pack things yourself, that way you know it is being done correctly.

    Lesson learned, I won't be using Safe Ship again and I highly recommend that you think long and hard before doing so. To anyone from Safe Ship reading this, I gave you tons of chances to correct my experience, but you chose not to. You were very difficult to work with through the entire process and at no point did I feel like you words carried any weight behind them.

    Updated on 07/08/2026: This experience only became more frustrating during their attempt to resolve the situation. Safe Ship had the third-party moving company send me a settlement document to sign that contained contradictory and confusing language. Before signing, I had the document reviewed and was advised not to sign it unless several provisions were revised. I submitted my requested changes, but they refused to modify any of the language. Shortly afterward, Safe Ship emailed me stating they had done everything in their power to help resolve the issue. That was not consistent with my experience. No meaningful effort was made to address my concerns or negotiate reasonable revisions to the document.

    Based on the legal advice I received, signing the document as written could have exposed me to unnecessary legal risk. I did not believe it fairly reflected the circumstances or adequately protected my interests. I hired Safe Ship to coordinate my move, and I believe they should have taken responsibility for resolving the problems and issuing an appropriate refund without requiring me to sign a document that I was advised not to accept. Overall, I felt misled throughout this process, from the initial promises to the attempted resolution. Based on my experience, I would strongly encourage others to carefully review all paperwork and consider other moving companies before choosing Safe Ship.

    Original review: I would strongly discourage anyone from using Safe Ship Moving Services. From the beginning, I felt I was misled. The initial quote increased dramatically throughout the moving process, with additional charges that were never disclosed when I booked the move. I was promised delivery within 2–12 business days, but my belongings didn't arrive for more than 23 days. During that time, I lived in an empty apartment and had to miss work because I had no reliable delivery date. I was also told that Safe Ship only uses veterans with more than 10 years of moving experience. That was not my experience, and I was never informed that my move would be subcontracted to a third-party moving company.

    Customer service was excellent while they were trying to earn my business. Once my belongings were delayed, however, communication became extremely difficult. Calls went unanswered, and when I was finally able to speak with someone, I was treated dismissively. A customer service manager named Anthony accused me of lying when I questioned whether he had returned my call, despite my phone records showing otherwise. Being spoken to that way while trying to locate everything I owned was incredibly frustrating. Overall, the lack of transparency, escalating costs, poor communication, and significant delivery delay made this one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had.

    Never got to the physical move. I did cancel within the 72 hr window but customer service reps delayed actually cancelling the order until after the 72 hr window so the company could keep the entire deposit. Customer service was pleasant to speak with while the canceling department was in a hurry to conclude their business in their favor in my opinion.

    Safe Ship is a moving coordinator not a moving company. They get poor moving that are in your area. The moving company we got did not speak English and they broke most of what they moved. It was the worst experience ever. They delivered the furniture in 18 hours, 1100 miles away before we could even get there and 4 days before they agreed to. They were rude and damaged things that could not be repaired or replaced. They took a brand new refrigerator and dragged it on its side to put in the truck. We had a lot of items that we paid a lot extra to wrap and they started just throwing in boxes.

    I hired Safe Ship to move all my household good from Eastford Connecticut to the Des Moines Iowa area. I did a video walk through with them to determine the shipping cost. We went through each room doing a video chat so their so called expert could see what was in each room. Their expert saw each bed that had to be moved asked question about different things in each room. How ever she failed to ask if there was a box spring under each mattress. Going by the video chat their expert had determined how many of various size boxes it was going to take to pack everything up..

    I was initially going to have them pack the shipping boxes but to save money we did it our selves. But just a day before the scheduled pick up date they said there were additional charges for various items such as the box springs, the number of boxes and various other charges. After everything was over and done with they charged me over $2k more than the initial estimate. Communications were terrible. You could never get the same person on the phone even though on my first call to them I was told that I would be dealing with him through the entire process, that was a lie.

    I've been through several military moves during my career in the U.S. Coast Guard and never experienced anything like this. I was lied to, and had been taken advantage of. They schedule to confirm the number of boxes and all of the items that are to picked up, then they spring the additional cost on you. They are thieves. A few of my items were damaged in the move but I did not file a claim because I never wanted to deal with them again, so I replace the items myself. They say that they are Veteran owned. If this is how they treat Veterans then I would certainly hate to see how they would treat the average civilian. I would rent a U-Haul next time before I would hire this company to move my household goods.

    This company is a scam - they get your money, but do not schedule the move per the agreement. They switched my move time at the last minute and did not contact me. When I tried to call them, they did not answer and did not call me back. Had to request a quote on order to get people on the phone. I was not allowed to talk to anyone in charge. They were trying to sending movers to my house for a full pack at 9 pm. I am a single woman, they were going to be at my house until 1 am. I for delayed and had to incur additional costs! The movers did not know it was a full pack. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. THEY DECEIVE YOU AND DO NOT DO THEIR JOB. I would give stars. They present as movers, they are brokers. This is a shady company, parading as a veteran-owned business.
