AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Their estimate was less than half of the actual price, they were late picking up and late delivering, all of which I may have understood except that...

...THEY LIED TO US...

...at every turn. "I promise your things will get picked up today". No luck. "I promise it will not be more than 5 days". 2 weeks later, our things showed up. "I promise it will only cost $990". $1600 later, with rudeness and arrogance at every turn. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!

Beware the fake reviews!. Majority of the "positive" reviews are not actual customer experiences, and are completely false! They are also very easy to spot. Whoever wrote them probably work for the company. The following are the most obvious examples:

- jay1960 & ange84: two different "customers" but identical review

- akhtar01: username's location does not match either moving locations in the review.

- cher60014: claimed Sky Moving showed up at her locations even though they are not in FL, and Sky Moving contracted out-of-state moves to local companies in the area.

- c-107: claimed quotation and final costs were the same, even though additional stops were later included (and therefore would be incur further costs).

- jeremiah1971: used too many promotional slogans, sounded like a Lifetime movie.

- william2009: claimed the move cost $990 from FL to TN, plus extra for packing (that wasn't part of quotation).

Approach the rest of the "positive" reviews with suspicion. I also recommend searching on the Internet for every review you can find. So that you have the entire of what Sky Moving & Storage truly is. You can also find them on Ripoff Report.

Dishonest, poor communication and unreliable. I chose Sky Moving based solely on the

To all Google’s users I recommend sky moving.. From start to finish, our moving experience with sky Moving and Storage was absolutely exceptional. Every facet of the move was impeccably handled with ability, competence, and incredibly hard work (Our new apartment is a 6th floor walk-up.) They provided extra boxes and tape when we ran out, helped to pack what we hadn't finished before they arrived, and dismantled and reassembled several pieces of furniture. When we unexpectedly hit a snag that caused us a 20 minute delay, Joe and his team took it in stride, handling the problem with grace and professionalism. I was very impressed with sky moving & I recommend them to all Google’s.‎

Excellent Service and Price‎‎. I had a 5 bedroom home in the Miami area of FL and I was moving to a 4 bedroom but larger home in South Carolina due to my retiring, the need to be by family, get more for my money and relax at this point in time of my life. A friend who used sky moving and storage. He used them to move to Georgia from Miami and then back to Miami again. Anyway, I had moved in the past from apartments to apartments and from my last apt to my home in Miami so I'm familiar with Movers. The manager, told me the company had years of experience and that they have other business and sometimes people confuse them all, apparently Moving and Storage is just one of their Businesses. They told me that once they give me a quote, that is the price, period, no changes, no surprise endings. As long as what I tell them was truthful. As I began to describe all that I had. They said they needed to come by and view it in person. David came to my home and took inventory of everything and suggested ways for me to pack in order to keep the cost down. i.e.: Boxes not Bags. And suggested wrapping etc. and they can get these materials, if needed, at very reasonable prices. As I thought about all the work I would have to do, I asked them if they do packing as well and they said YES. So I had them do it and move it. They sent some people to pack days earlier and it took those two days to pack. I think it would have taken me two weeks. Fortunately I had a month from the date I originally called them. Nevertheless, we planned everything step by step in order to time the packing and to be able to move me next day. It all went smoothly. My favorite part was how they wrapped my furniture. My dining hutch, fragile wood armoire and my white couch was wrapped in blankets and super sized plastic wrap along with some other valuable items. I have never seen that done before. I flew into Columbia SC and met them at my new place. They unloaded everything where I told them to, unwrapped the furniture and cleaned up the plastic and paper and left. That was so stress free, I was so pleased. Other Note: I paid for the materials and the packing services separately, of which they gave me a quote for, also well before hand. That gave me time to check out places like Public Storage/ Post Office / Lowes and other packing places and they were indeed very affordable on the materials. I was told the cost upfront and I had no changes or surprises upon delivery. (No extra cost for the plastic and blanket wrapping- that was standard and included in their move cost/quote).

To sky moving and storage truly appreciated.. I have nothing but praises for their crew. My move was a bit complicated. I moved my apartment and had two stops on the way to pick up a bedroom set that my parents gave me and an old heavy big screen my friend was throwing away after he got himself a shiny new plasma. His trash, my sales. Kim explained to me that my plan to start the day at my parents house before moving on to pick up my stuff, it wasn’t advisable because there’s this thing called double drive time in moving, and it will be advisable to arrange my pick ups and drop offs in one short straight geographical line. She said they’ll do whatever I prefer, but I was glad she pointed it out and change plans with my mom accordingly, and saved a few good bucks. The crew they sent was outstanding. They came energized and just worked hard for me. Truly appreciated.

My experience with sky movingand storage. My experience with sky moving started with a clear quote with itemized cost. And it's exactly what I paid at the end with no hidden cost or extra charge.

On the moving and delivery day, David and the crew are courteous, professional and efficient. They arrived on time, protected my furniture with great care and finished the job quicker than I expected.

The closest street to my new apartment's entrance is a no-parking zone, the movers were willing to park on a side street and carried the items for extra distance with no complaints.

I was moving from northern GA to southern FL. And among all the moving companies (including the more well-known big names) I inquired, sky moving is the only one that offered second day delivery. And they kept their promise. It made the move so much easier. They are also very responsive and kept me informed along the way of all the information I needed.

To sky moving and storage. I used sky moving company for my local move here in Orlando FL. I had a very good experience starting with the sales person (Claudia) all the way to the movers and operations personnel. The moving team arrived on time and packed up everything from my 4 bed room townhome and delivered it to my new home and set everything up within the first 5 hours. In addition, they delivered my old refrigerator to my friend and old washer and dryer to a temple. The entire team of three people was very accommodating, caring and professional. When they say "no hidden charges", they really mean it. I got charged for exactly what they quoted as hourly charges. I will recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat
