I researched several moving companies when preparing for our cross-country move from Dallas. I ultimately asked three companies for an in-home estimate. We had a rough idea of what we thought the weight of our stuff should be since we had just moved our things to Dallas in the last couple years (although in 2 different rounds of moving). The other two estimates were just crazy high, and I didnt think their representatives acted that much like they really cared whether they were selected to help us with our move. However, Mike was friendly and immediately gave me the impression that he wanted our business and wanted us to have a positive experience. Obviously that was very important as a first impression. joy moving and storage agent mike assisted me with the contract and making the specific arrangements. With our cross-country move, we were not yet sure exactly where our house would be or when we would close on a house purchase and when we would be able to move in. mike was very patient and helpful as I asked more questions or requested more modifications to our arrangements. Ultimately, we thought we were going to need to have our stuff stored for a couple weeks before being delivered to Massachusetts, and we made arrangements with mike to do so. However, we then unexpectedly found out we could move our stuff into our new house sooner than the close date, and we then didnt need the storage. mike did everything he could to find a way to remove the storage from our arrangements to avoid the time and money it would take. He wasnt able to find a way to cancel the storage due to availability of moving various loads across the country. I completely understood, so I thanked him for his efforts and let it go. However, a few days later, I got a call from mike that he had found a way to cancel the storage and have our possessions moved directly from Dallas to our new home in Massachusetts, saving us the time and money for storage. I was thrilled that he had continued to try to find a way, ultimately with success, to make this change in our arrangements. The driver showed up timely on the day of our move, and he was professional and friendly throughout, as were the other two movers who came with him. They were careful with our possessions and the home we were leaving. I was very impressed with the job they did and how they worked hard to treat our things with care. For delivery, the driver called a day in advance, and the items were available to be delievered a day or two sooner than we had even expected, which was completely fine in our situation. The driver and the helpers for delivery were also professional and friendly. From our experience with this move, I give joy Moving the highest review I possibly can. Justin Dura

Damaged 2 pieces of furniture and our wall. Took 2 months for them to ack damage and was told payment would be given that week, still no payment. I choose this company because the quote I was given over the phone was "$149 and hour for 5 men and $79 travel charge". Then somehow the travel charge went up and when I advised I was quoted a lower travel charge initially the response I got was "ok well lower it to $79 will that make you happy?". That response and misquote I was given should have been my first clue to choose another moving company. We had to push back our move one day and when our movers came the next day they were late and on top of that we only got 3 men not the 5 we got quoted. We moved most of all the big boxes ourselves the day before the movers came, but it still took almost all day for them to move the furniture. Because of this delay we had to cancel dinner plans that we had that same day. Everything was wrapped with ONE flimsy looking blanket. We ended up with 2 pieces of damaged furniture and a banged up wall. Pictures were taken onsite by the movers, but apparently never given to their office since I had to re-take pictures myself and send them to them. Then I had to e-mail and call multiple times over 2 months just to get a response. When I sent back the settlement response on 7/11/14 I was told that payment would be issued that same week. Now every time I call or e-mail to get a response Im told they are waiting to hear back from another "department". Im not sure how they are conducting their business, but I really doubt it takes over one month to get approval for a $280.00 payment. I really think our damages are over $280.00 but we agreed on that price because we are really tired of dealing with this company. In hindsight I should have done my research better on this company - the websites that has mostly good reviews on this company is obviously fake (look at the dates and wording of the reviews are all similar). If you want an honest review of this company please go to the BBB website. They have several complaints against them. I never write reviews but because of how dishonest this company is I felt I should warn others.

My experience with Joy Moving and Storage couldnt have been any worse! First, they were 2 days late picking up my belongings. Second, they took over 30 days to deliver my things, in the meantime it was very difficult to get in touch with anyone to find any information out. Third, when they arrived at 1030 pm and started unloading my furniture I noticed EVERY single piece of furniture was damaged! They asked me if thats what my furniture looked like when they picked it up and I told them NO its brand new furniture. Then trying to talk to someone in regards to the damage, was almost impossible! I spoke with Mike, he told me from what I was telling him the damage was that "it mustve been done on purpose" he told me I needed to go through the claims process, which I did and had plenty of proof and documentation of the damage, the claims dept offered me $64 for the damage, I sent an appeal letter and they came back with $94. They do not take any responsibility or follow the contract! They got away with ruining my furniture and I feel like they are very unprofessional and take advantage of people! Another thing, they forged my signature on ALL of the pick up documents! This is a terrible company and you would be foolish to have them handle your personal belongings!!!!

My experience was horrible. The company arrived 40 minutes late. The 2 men worked at a snails pace trying to collect more money than needed by delaying time. The truck got lost on the way to the new location. I only had a 2 bedroom apartment and one bedroom had a toddler bed and a mini dresser. I had all items boxed and bagged the night before ready to be loaded. The men went past 3 hour and both locations where in Fort Worth. The workers left several items on the side walk at my new location and did not assemble my one and only bed or my dinette table. I had to help load and help unload the truck. Im a small frame female. I took a half of day off work that turned into a full day off work without pay. The agreed to wave $39.50 for the half hour they went over past the 3 hour mark. Then after I wrote my review. The company called my cell phone harassing and threating to sue me for 5 hours worth of work plus the $39.50 they agreed to wave after many complaints from me during the 31/2 ordeal. When I only used them for 31/2 hours. The company has showed another form of being unprofessional. A ROYAL MESS Horrible company S. Anderson
