Coastal Moving Services

TOTAL NIGHTMAREThis company has been a total nightmare. They never presented themselves as a broker. We agreed on the price based on a detailed list of items, we agreed on delivery date and terms. Only for them to hire another company that makes you sign a NEW contract with new unbelievable terms at pick up, charging you so much more for the move… then you find out your stuff sit in a warehouse they won’t tell you the location of, any time you ask for a delivery date, they say they will let you

Read the Fine PrintFirst, I was charged an extra $900, as they are packing my stuff up, even after I removed dining room table and washer and dryer from the initial estimate.Second, they asked me for a primary delivery date, only to find "it is in your contract" they have 21 days from THAT day to deliver your stuff. So my stuff had not even left the state I left at that point, 17 days later. Let us see if they want to charge me beyond the "free" 30 days of storage if it is going to take them t

Don't use this companyThis company has been horrible to work with. They gave me one quote to start and then 2 days before the move gave me another quote. Then they contracted it out to another company. When the new company showed up, they said I was given an incorrect quote. In the end, it cost me double(10K) than what I was originally quoted. Their customer service is horrible and they don't resolve anything. I can't even get through to the contracted company to get a straight answer to when my

DO NOT USE THEMI would give it zero stars if that was an option. I was completely misled as to timing of delivery. The day you give them for delivery is a “first available day of delivery” and they can legally deliver any time up to 30 days after. The one person who finally answered the phone told me my items would be there some time within 10 days of the first available delivery date. After that contact, they went dark and only responded when contacted by my attorney. Fortunately, I got my

Sketchiest movers everSketchiest movers ever. They tried to double the price at the last minute, but I told them I'd just take the extra in the minivan and they could move what they could move at the original price. This turned out to be a good thing, because it took them 2 weeks to deliver, with constant promises of "it's coming today!" followed by nothing. When my stuff finally arrived, it was after 9 pm and they just unloaded stuff onto the lawn without any checking of inventory or even count

My experience with Coastal Moving…My experience with Coastal Moving Services (coastalmovingservices.com)has been an absolute nightmare.I was moving my family from **Tucson, Arizona, to Jacksonville, Florida**. Before I booked anything, I spoke with Robert and sent him photos of **all of my belongings** so there would be no guessing about the size of the move.After reviewing those photos, Robert told me that **560 cubic feet would be more than enough**.That statement is the reason I agreed to the

Warning - HORRIBLE ExperienceWarning - Do NOT USE this service. It is a scam. They say they work with only qualified movers that they themselves VET. Once they pass you off - you are forgotten - and they no longer take any accountability.Our moving experience was horrible! We were passed off to multiple movers, no one could tell us specifics as to where our belongings were - or when they would ultimately be delivered.And, once they were delivered - we have several missing items, boxes of

Misleading Estimate Info and Lack of CommunicationThis company waited until they were literally sitting in my driveway to inform me that the cost of my move has tripled. I have stated that a full pack would be needed but this note was not carried over in my estimate and my refund was non-refundable. August 11, 2026Unprompted reviewUseful1Share

Coastal Moving is a broker and a poor oneCoastal Moving is a broker — not the company that actually moves your belongings.When we hired Coastal Moving, it was not made clear to us that they would simply coordinate our move with another carrier. The sales process felt like smoke and mirrors, and what we were promised was very different from what actually happened.We were quoted approximately 7 days from pickup to delivery at a total cost of $2,400. Here is what actually occurred:1. A completely d

Move from Maryland to California. Multiple price changes after providing full inventory list with pictures. Broke my desk, cut across to the bed frame, shoe cost to missing. Belongings unaccounted for, things in Baltimore's inner harbor. Ready and tired of being gaslighted.

Jasprte K.

Quoted $2,500 for move and storage. Quality control call raised it to $5,500. Charged 56% up front. They subcontracted. Came back with total price of $12,500. Asked for deposit back and was told to be patient. Now it's a huge circle block. Coastal Moving misrepresented their brand and are not truthful.

Brian M.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They are not really movers or even brokers. They are complete scammers. They took my $2K deposit and demanded thousands more right then. They are liars and extortionists. They won't allow pickup by another carrier. Furniture and precious items were broken. This 'company' should not be allowed to do business.

Regina S.

WARNING TO EVERY MILITARY FAMILY STAY AWAY FROM COASTAL MOVING SERVICES. Worst experience of our lifetime, they are scammers. Subcontracted to someone else. Price almost doubled to $20,000. When the truck arrived they had only 300 boxes in a 2-3 storage unit, an empty storage unit, and was stating total of around $14,000.

Rocky D.

If I could give zero stars I would. So many hidden fees and lack of communication. The quote is just a starting price. Don't plan on getting your stuff in less than 4 weeks. Don't plan on getting furniture almost whole. All the work is contracted out to second and third parties. The whole company is a joke.

Justin F.

They dispatched Medina Movers who then showed up at my house. I refuse to allow them to move if they accept cash or money order and no credit card. They stole some of my things, broke some things, and stole my baby CD stack. Horrible horrible experience. I felt so violated.

Hert C.

Upcharged after loaded in truck. Delivery driver tried shaking me down after delivery. Do not use the pirates.

Chris P.

The biggest liar and switch on the freaking planet. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. They asked me for a list of items, called to confirm, I added one couch. They got to my home and say items I listed will push me over the limit so I have to prioritize. The absolute worst company I have ever had the displeasure to do business with.

Alan A.

Worst moving company. They are not at all reliable and book a second party, rapid express moving. My stuff is not at all trackable, after calling everyday they finally dispatched much later than the promised 10-15 days. I am forced to report these guys to the license board.

Shruti A.

Broker gave me a quote after going through my house, charged $3,000 down payment. Movers filled a U-Haul then came back with a brand new amount. Items remained in LA warehouse. I paid $8,000 because they go by sq ft not items. I was forced to leave everything behind and pay an additional $2,000 for my couch and dressing table. I feel I got scammed.

The movers showed up today and stated that all of our things would take up too much space and that it would cost another $8,000. All of our things are not even 260 cubic square feet. I have attached videos of the measurements of our things to show that they take up less space than what we paid for. Absolutely do
