Moving Forward

The dispatch team saved my life Today. Our movers Blue Oak moving group cancelled same day at their arrival time due to someone on their team being ill. They offered no back up resources or help in anyway the gentleman who was our dispatch was not understanding at all and just said. That's when I got to work trying to find movers and came across Moving Forward.

I was in tears as most companies had turned us down due to the same day request. When I had given up hope god sent me two angels from Moving Forward. The women at this company squeezed me in when they had heard of my situation (being 7 months pregnant) trying to move just me and my husband and felt terrible. The Movers's arrived when they said they would and got right to work.

They took extra care for our items, making this stressful time a little less stressful. Thank you moving forward you saved us all what could've been a bad moving situation and took care of us. You have a loyal fan for life!

Needed to move my 95 year old mother. Contacted at least a dozen different movers in the Detroit area. Most were unresponsive, short labor, too expensive, etc. Moving Forward was great in every respect. From the intake ladies, to the estimate, to the plan, the actual move, the unpacking, consignment resale, etc. they were timely, thorough, courteous and fair. Frankly, they were a life saver and it was a total pleasure doing business with them.

Moving Forward made our move stress-free. They did all packing the day before the move. The next day the movers arrived to load the truck. After the truck arrived at our new home our furniture was placed in its proper place and the packers (from the day before) unpacked all boxed items and put them away in their appropriate locations. When the crew left, everything was in its place and all boxes and packing were taken away. What was left at our previous home was taken to the company-affillated consignment shop to be sold. Everything was done well and efficiently.

You should charge a fee by the move, no by how many people are needed to do it you know that it takes 2 people to get couches, bed, refrigerator, ete.

Safely moved my antique display cases and did an excellent job with no wasted time. Office staff and movers very professional and reasonable pricing. Would recommend and use again!

Had a wonderful experience with Moving Forward and would definitely recommend them. We hired them to move our parents into Independence Village in White Lake and they did an excellent job! No complaints and very fast and efficient.

My uncle was so satisfied with the service they provided moving his belongings from a storage unit into his home! Excellent and friendly staff and movers. Would absolutely recommend Moving Forward!

Moving Forward came to the rescue, helping to move a large piece of furniture that needed to be done urgently. Denise in the office was crucial to making it work! The company worked their schedules around & sent 2 staff. Carroll & Dalton, were respectful, efficient, strong, & friendly. Well done & thanks to all for your help!

Cody and her team were the best! They were efficient, patient, kind and compassionate. I would recommend this company to anyone moving their senior parents.

While visiting our family in Highland, Mi, we had to move a large piece of furniture from first floor to the basement within a 2 day time frame. I called all over without luck. Either there was no availability or their prices were out of sight.) Then I found Moving Forward. Although we were not a senior moving project (which is their specialty), they adjusted their schedules & staff to accommodate us!

The gentlemen who arrived, were friendly, efficient, & fast. The cost was also reasonable. We are so grateful to them for their help. Denise in the office was extremely friendly. We would use Moving Forward again for any moving needs in the future.

We used Moving Forward for a small move and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect! The team was courteous and professional. Would use them again and highly recommend!

Very professional company. 5 stars! Great experience from the beginning to end. We highly recommended them!

Four women packing up the whole house. Very efficient, professional, respectful and friendly. What a team - highly recommend! Thanks to Lori, Brenda R., Little Brenda and Vanessa.

The sad thing is I'd used MF previously with better results. This time I had some big, delicate, and antique furniture that needed moving from one room to the other. It was a smaller job, but I needed it done right so I hired them again. Apparently, if you have only a small job that doesn't need 3 men and a 26' truck, you get the farm team.

Not even the B-team; more like the pee-wee league. For starters, they were 45 minutes late on a clear dry morning when I was their first job. The scheduler did call to let me know they'd be late, but she was chuckling the whole time she was on the phone as if it was funny. I wasn't so amused. The guys that (finally) showed up were very new, very young, and very inexperienced.

One of them announced immediately that they were "the company's best". If that's true this company is in BIG trouble. They clearly had little knowledge of how to use their straps, how to finesse around corners, and other basic tricks of the trade. They chattered with each other constantly about short vs tall, strong vs weak, what other jobs they'd had etc etc like high schoolers.

I desperately wanted them to concentrate on, you know, their *job*. I monitored them every minute. I reached my limit when, no sooner had I finished stating that the piece of furniture they were about to move was more dear to me than everything else in the house, they picked it up and WALKED IT INTO THE DOOR FRAME. I thought my heart would stop. The company has no business sending out two kids who simply don't know what they're doing.

My furniture is not a training facility. It's a shame because they used to be better. If you're moving into a dorm room or a hunting cabin, or rearranging your garage, no problem. But I've got an antique hutch that is in one piece only through sheer luck, and I'll never risk using them again.

This business is focused on helping the elderly downsize as they move to more supportive living situations. They handle all aspects of these stressful times with compassion and help their clients feel comfortable that their possessions will be well cared for (both those coming with them and those being sold or going to charity). If you have a loved one or friend struggling with these decisions Moving Forward can help.
