I'm actually surprised at all the good reviews here. Earlier this year we moved to Colorado from Idaho. We had a ton going on so had to leave it to Sandpoint Movers to move our belongings (ALL of them) and our camper van to us in Southern Colorado. Since we had obligations there, Jackie assured us we would not be needed at our house when they loaded up the truck.
Bad mistake. When Jeff arrived, he told us several items were left at the house in Idaho. Jeff took $1000 off of our bill to cover these items. However, on the way down, the camper van, which was being towed, was somehow damaged. Jeff told us that we should try to file with our insurance for the camper van because "it was just one of those things".
He offered to "maybe" split the repair costs with us. Later that day, we realized that more of our items were missing than they had told us about and had a friend go to our house to get them. When our friend got there, nothing was there. Sandpoint Movers had taken our stuff to their shop and we had to arrange for our friend meet them to pick things up. (Jackie had called and left us a message that they had some things, but only after our friend went to the house and found nothing there.) I'm trying to keep this brief, but to this day they haven't acknowledged that they HAVE some of the items that were left, including a gifted silk aspen tree with a replacement value of $700.
The damages to the van were $2000. We sent a certified letter with the estimate, which they signed for. We sent another certified letter with the invoice for completed repairs, which went unclaimed. $1000 doesn't cover the loss that we had with this company. And now there is no response from them. I would not recommend them at all. We trusted you guys and you let us down.

Jackie and Jeff, the owners, were life savers! When my elderly mother moved from CA to Sandpoint, the people who were supposed to help her unload cancelled. Since I am in Seattle, I could not be there and so was desperately trying to find movers at the last minute. Jackie agreed to help and personally showed up with Jeff to do the job. We are so appreciative and will definitely use them in the future with any moving need.

Outstanding! I met Jeff and his crew on a moving job this morning. I had just arrived in town and needed a storage unit by last week and a way to get my stuff into it by yesterday. So I figured these guys were in the business and would know. A few minutes later, after asking Jeff's recommendations on who to call, I had a storage unit despite the fact that "there are none available, " and I had hired them to move my things there while I was elsewhere on urgent business.
Before I asked if they could work me into their schedule, I looked at their website at sandpointmovers.com. When I read the "about" tab, I knew I was talking to the right people. I entrusted them with some very valuable possessions and the access code to my storage unit. When they were done, we met while they were on the way to another job so I could pay them.
Everything was done on a handshake. These guys are straight shooters and I would trust them with anything. Let's face it: while "moving" may be exciting, actually moving physical items is a tough work. Sandpoint Movers does the tough work right. Highly recommended!

Fantastic, considerate of the home, polite and truly conscientious of detail. I hired Sandpoint Movers in the past. This time again they were on time and brought the right crew for a challenging removal of HEAVY exercise equipment for a second floor. if you need moving professionals that will exceed your expectations, Sandpoint Movers is number one! Thanks again guys!

We have moved multiple times with Sandpoint Movers and they are on time, quick, safe & efficient movers. Moving sucks, Sandpoint Movers makes it WAY EASIER! Too bad they aren't "Sandpoint Movers and then unpack everything and put it away in the perfect spot". They might do that if you asked. but the moving part is excellent for sure!

Expert movers! We built a house up on Schweitzer Mountain and the entry point made getting some of our furniture into the house impossible. Jim stated over and over again "no problem", they figured out how to get everything into the house (going over a second story porch!). I was incredibly impressed how they worked through every potential issue with ease and found a way to get everything into the house. Very professional, polite and great value. Will absolutely be using them again for any future moves!

Sandpoint movers did show up the day after we called for a quick unload of 1880 antique upright piano and armoire. Were friendly, but did not show up with enough muscle for a piano. The entire front of my piano now has a 3 foot scrape to include all the paint from my door jamb. They were aware this had happened but showed no concern at all for the damage and charged me the full amount as well. I would keep looking if you need movers, this is not the level of care I would want for my belongings.

Sandpoint movers went above & beyond to make this move happen for family members. VA lenders unorganized and inept and move-in date changed repeatedly. Sandpoint Movers made 3 moves, through 2 states, and everything arrived intact and in great condition. This is second time using them and would not hesitate to use them again!

As the son on a Navy man, and having also served, I have moved over 30 times. None were more pleasant and incident free than the two you handled. First the stuffing of almost all of our goods into the basement of our old house; then the retrieval and shuttle of them to our new house eight months later. Your crews were very pleasant to be around and so responsive to our picky requests for placement of stuff. And Jackie is wonderful to work with for contact and scheduling.

What is always a very stressful time for anyone, was a very good experience! Jeff, Jackie and crew are great to work with. Jeff had twoy guys do the "hefting" and he did the amazing "art" of packing. Nothing broken and all arrived safely. Courteous movers who showed respect and kindness towards our questions and concerns. Hope I don't have to move anytimes soon now, but if I did have to, I'd use Jeff, Jackie and crew for sure!
Even when you two had family health issues going on, you took care of us beautifully. Appreciated all the hard work from your movers too.four level houses are no picnic to maneuver through. Thanks again!

Moving can be extremely stressful. And for us it was. Was supposed to use a PODS unit but they backed out during the day of delivery and left us hanging. Had to scramble and got some lame company who could only move half our stuff. Everything got scratched up and they had no idea how to move two large and heavy gun safes. When they picked them up, they damaged the floor and trim around the carpet.
Then they delivered them to the new house and dumped them in the middle of the garage. Our neighbors recommended Sandpoint Movers. They were awesome. They were able to come out the day we needed them. The were meticulous in moving the safes. Put padding down on the floors and carpets. Only 1 came in the house but they moved it perfectly. We recommended them to our neighbors and they were ecstatic with them as well. Not planning on moving ever again, but if we need to move anything big or heavy, I do recommend them to anybody in this area.

Highly recommended! My mom is moving from Idaho to Florida right now. It's stressful to move cross-country and (given that I live in LA) I've been worried about her. The greatest comfort is that my mom says Jeff at Sandpoint Movers is incredibly professional and his ability to load a truck in an efficient way is outstanding. My mom said Jeff is also a nice guy who understands moving is stressful so he's gone way above the call of duty to accommodate her schedule and not only load, but adjust the load, as new things were added by my mom. Thanks for taking care of my mom, Jeff - it's great to know she's in good hands!

We recently had them pack and load my elderly mother. We paid for a professional job and did not receive anything close to that. One of the individuals that packed did do a pretty good job. The other could have cared less. I have moved seven times myself and have never seen such a horrible packing job. In addition, once we unloaded at the destination, we realized that they did not pack a significant number of items. Not necessarily a significant value, but things she wanted. All in all a less than satisfactory experience.

In early March 2017, when the snow and ice were still around, four guys from Sandpoint Movers came to Newport, WA to get our lake house contents out of storage and back into our house. One word to describe them, "awesome!" They moved all of our stuff from a jam packed storage unit to our two story four bedroom home in less than 8 hours. They were wonderful to work with and besides knowing exactly how to load and unload the items, they were fun to be around and had a great sense of humor! Thank you guys!

I can't say enough positive things about them! We are out of town and needed to have some things packed and moved from a house in Ponder Point to our house on Bottle Bay. Everything was arranged with Todd by phone and the move went off on time, smoothly, and for less than I expected. I would be happy to use them again and I can give them a strong recommendation.
