Speedymen Moving & Delivery - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Cody Beck

As a business located in the Milwaukee area, I couldn't recommend staying any FURTHER away from this moving company as you can. From the beginning, they were dishonest, not punctual, and their customer service was beyond appalling.

We were traveling from out of state to help move one of our offices and on Monday (1/28/19) we set up the moving service and were ensured that on Friday (2/1/19) they would be there between 12 PM and 3 PM. We had staff box up all belongings and left only boxes and furniture items to be moved.

After waiting until near 6 PM we find out that they're trying to move it to Saturday (2/2/19) without giving us option. Coming from out of town and opening back up on Monday, this wasn't an option. The finally showed up around 6:30 PM and finished packing at almost 10 PM.

We then drove ahead to our new office to wait until 11:45 PM for them to show up. After walking out into the parking lot, we find the rented U-haul in the back of the parking lot, unlocked cabin as well as the backend unlocked with ALL of our furniture, IT equipment (computers, printers, industrial printers), and more in the back (see attached pictures). The movers were gone and took the keys but left everything unlocked.

After countless phone calls and exchanges with the company head (who we find out is in Atlanta) who informed us that was the "agreed upon terms" and weather caused delays forced them to finish moving Saturday (2/2/19) morning. These were not the agreed upon terms and we had electronic equipment that sat overnight in a U-Heal in sub-zero temperatures, in which they (remember, they're a moving company, not an IT company) informed us that the equipment would be fine.

They showed up around 8:15 AM to finish the move and finished around 11:15 AM. The main guy who moved was actually awesome (worked for the company, and voiced concerns about actually being paid). But after they had finished the move, they worked up the nerve (they being "corporate") to ask for $250 additional to make up for the extra time!

This could not have been a worse experience, and being in business and understanding that weather and such can absolutely play a role, we asked for honesty. This entire situation could have been avoided (6 hours from home away from family, friends, and work) had they been honest earlier in the week and let us know that they may not be able to get to us. Not asking for much, as we could've found a different moving company or done so ourselves.

If you're a business, homeowner, or anybody needing help with moving, I would avoid the business completely. While they did "complete" the job a day late, the "corporate" person was absolutely rude and condescending to our entire staff and quite frankly didn't care that our furniture and equipment was left unlocked, in sub-zero temperature, then asked for MORE money after everything was said and done.

While the movers were very nice and apologetic, the higher ups did not share the same ethics and morals.

Zero stars. We would never recommend these movers. They were hours late on moving day. Two men who were so inexperienced they didn’t know what to do. No boxes to move, only furniture. They were slow, inefficient, careless, and stopped work for a long lunch break. Late afternoon, still not done, shoving our furniture haphazardly into their too small truck, wrapped nothing. Left saying they were done when there was still furniture in our home. Called the company, got 2 different movers the next day who finished but left 2 holes in our drywall without saying a word. That was 6 months ago and we are still waiting for reimbursement. Cracked and dented our piano. Do not use this mover.

Would not recommend this company. Moved back in August and the movers damaged/ scratched three of my bedroom wood pieces because they did not use moving pads. The movers spent most of their time trying to figure out how to disassemble my nightstand stand, and they even asked if I had a certain tool. The company finally came to look at the damaged furniture in October. They had one of their movers try to refinish one of my nightstands for over six months, and they kept having issue after issue. I eventually asked for the unfinished nightstand back since I didn’t want to chase them for answers anymore. A relative completely refinished the piece from scratch with no issue and it was done in under an hour minus drying time. There was never any follow-up from management with all the delays, or an apology. I had to chase them constant. Unprofessional company. There will be no recourse if your furniture is damaged.

This was the absolute worst moving experience I’ve ever had. The movers showed up an hour early, parked directly in the middle of my community road, blocking all traffic. They were sent with no tools or supplies at all. They were supposed to move my adjustable base bed but hadn’t even seen one before and had no idea how to move it. When I called the office, they said they would send another truck with tools and supplies but that truck didn’t show up until the END of the move. He brought a contract and tools. The contract showed an extra charge for time when I specifically told the office that I didn’t want to be charged for extra time because he sent his movers unprepared and was assured I wouldn’t be. They didn’t ask me to look over my items as we were being rushed downstairs by the other truck who was calling all of our phones to have us meet him outside. Three days later when I finally finished moving my items and was starting to move in, I noticed a large crack in my dresser... the top drawer wouldn’t open. We called immediately and were told to email pictures to their claims email. The next day, rhe email was returned and when we called they said their “server was full” and told us to try again. We re-sent the email and it was delivered but it is now two weeks later and we have never recovered a response. I don’t blame the guys they sent to move, they were clearly inexperienced and unprepared and that is the responsibility of management. DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY. I will be reporting them today to the BBB.

I know those five stars are fake reviews, there is no way this company deserves NOT even 1 star, I only had a few item to be moved and they managed to destroy them all in one way or another! Pretend they were going to reimburse me! I called every day for 7 weeks with no one ever answering a single call! Can’t believe a company will screen a customer call to avoid responsibility! RUN FROM THESE CROOKS!

I have to admit I was a little worried at first because of the other reviews. But I didn’t have any issues at all. I had an awesome experience with speedy men movers! They came when they said they were, kept me updated, they were very careful with my stuff, and was also fast.
I highly recommend this company! Jeremiah and Shawn were my movers and brought a cheerful and happy energy while moving my stuff! They were both smiling and very polite! I appreciate this kind of energy especially when moving my stuff!

Thanks speedymen movers!!!

Absolute worst moving experience we have ever had! Very shady billing practices--avoid at all costs if you can! 1. We were quoted a 3 hour move time but then when we received the bill it said the cost was for only 2 hours. So we had an hour and a half in overages; 2. We hired them to move three items we were picking up from different sellers. It look over 3 hours, only had two guys and it was one of their first days. Both of the movers were very professional, but the guy was still in training and we had paid for two professional movers. Every other moving company I've used tacked on people being trained to the already paid for move team; 3. When we called to talk about the over 175 dollars in time overage fees for the above reasons--the guy was overly dismissive of WRITTEN EVIDENCE saying we had three hours booked and said he would get me the voice recordings of our calls, never did; 4. followed up twice by email and once by phone as the customer service rep says there is no record of any complaints of file. ABSOLUTELY THE SHADIEST COMPANY OUT THERE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

If I could give this company 0 stars I would. They might quote a cheaper price than other companies but I warn you please do not select them. We originally agreed to 6 hours with 3 men but the morning of our move we received a phone call that they changed us to 4.5 hours with 4 men. They shorten our time so that they can then charge us the overage fee $130 per hour instead of the regular hourly amount. Day of move the men were an hour and a half late. We explained our home size and stressed how many items we had but the Supervisor insisted they would get it done within the alloted time. We move a lot for the military so we knew the lbs of our items. Day of move Speedy men did not move all of our items within the 4.5 hours, they didn't even move half our items because their truck was too small. The Supervisor insisted on receiving full payment the day of even though we did not have all our items. On top of that they damaged items and walls in the home. Their men were unprepared and did not have any tools to disassemble furniture therefore they tried to move it in the big pieces which is how they damaged our walls. We refused to pay since they didn't move all our furniture the Supervisor refused to setup a date to continue moving our furniture unless he received payment the day of. I warn you to please save yourself the headache and do not go with this company.
