My mom who was 70 years old at the time hired these guys to move her house. After she unpacked her things she realized that they went inside her boxes and stole all her gold coins, jewelry and money. She filed a complaint and police report but nothing was ever recovered.. ($50,000) Police passed the buck saying to contact the city she moved from. The city she moved from said call the police in the city she moved to. The police in the city she moved to said call the highway patrol. No one was ever held responsible. This compa... read more

I didn't even hire these guys but my neighbor did! When they delivered his stuff they drove this huge truck onto my lawn and destroyed it! Then they got stuck because the truck was so heavy and drove over my 40year old wisteria plant and destroyed it! When trying to get an insurance claim started they tried to deny liability and said we have to go after the driver!! It's been over a month and the phone numbers don't take you to a customer service person!! This place is a scam! STAY WAY FAR AWAY!!

movers were polite, they were dreadfully un trained. They brought no straps causing furniture to shift and bounce in transit. Most furniture has scrapes and gouges. Most devastating is the young men carried a 48 inch round marble tabletop horizontally instead of vertically.Any trained mover knows that. The marble cracked under it's own weight and is now in two pieces. Also cracked a five sided beveled glass table top into a dozen pieces. Marble in family 51 yrs to say nothing of it existing in nature forever! A horrible resu... read more

Starving students ate totally horrible. You begin with beautiful furniture and end up with scared and broken furniture. Believe me at the end of your move you will have nothing. BEWARE.

I recently contracted to have a rental truck loaded in Seattle and unloaded in Sacramento. The Seattle Movers damaged two antique furniture pieces; a cedar chest and an antique dresser. Both were pushed on their wheels into door jams and legs were torn off. I was able to repair the dresser, but I do not have wood clamps long enough to repair the cedar chest. The is a family heirloom, made by my great uncle for my Grandmother. I will either have to purchase 4 Foot wood champs or have the piece professionally repaired. Other t... read more

Pay the extra money to hire a 'Professional' company. They will move you faster so even if the hourly rate is higher, you will still save money because you won't be paying for as many hours. I was quoted 4-5 hour move by most companies and since this one was the cheapest I went with them. It took over 9 HOURS!!!! So it ended up costing me more AND I lost out on 4 hours of unpacking on the day of the move. The movers didn’t move a single item in the first 30 minutes of our move. One of the movers was slow as molasses walking ... read more

LET ME MAKE THIS SHORT AND CLEAR! if you want to be disspoainted in all aspects and be lied to with price then go ahead and use this company.. if you're a smart person and do not want to deal with crooks stay away! the price they give you over the phone... make sure to add another 110-140 dollars to it because they lag to make the hours go buy so you pay them more.

I wished I had researched this company. I had already moved the majority of my items myself so I thought hiring Starving Students to move the rest would make my life easier. I WAS WRONG! The move appeared to be going in slow motion. They seemed to be attempting to pad the time. The three movers sent stretched out what should have been a 2 hour job to almost five. Several furniture items were damaged along the way. NEVER AGAIN! AVOID STARVING STUDENTS MOVERS!!!
