| 5/5 | Daniel and Rose and the crew were absolutely awesome. We had to storage our things for a month and not one item was lost or broken. Everything was wrapped to perfection. I would give them 5 stars all day long. Each man was totally qualified and so kind and helpful. | Katherine Petty | |
| 5/5 | Daniel Hernandez and his crew did an exceptional job for us. They worked extremely hard and very diligently. | Michael Davis | |
| 5/5 | Mardo and his team were excellent and deserve a 10/10 rating! They handled all of our items with the utmost care and respect. Our family will definitely be using Great Nation Moving for our next move! | Kate Raymond | |
| 5/5 | Kenny was amazing with assisting me with reserving an appointment. He was very helpful, friendly and informative. When moving day came his crew members Freddy and Natanael were quick and organized, which I greatly appreciated. Everything went well and I will definitely be using them again. | Sara Sau | |
| 1/5 | I had a terrible experience with Great Nation Moving. We were relocating our belongings from Maryland. They initially provided an estimate, but once they had our belongings, they drastically increased the price by $3,000–$4,000. This was completely unfair and dishonest. Not only did they change the price, but they were also not on time. Our items were not delivered as scheduled, and the final cost was far from what they originally estimated. This company is not trustworthy. I strongly advise everyone to stay away from them. | Noor Smith | |
| 1/5 | Please do not use this company! They gave us a quote. We had every item packed and contained. Took them 11 hours to load. This move was to a storage unit — not into a house. Arrived at the storage unit and they would not unload unless we paid them twice what we owed. After all of that we are missing a lot of items. Do NOT use this company. | Beverly Williams | |
| 1/5 | Google reminded me of this review and so I have to update it. The quality rapidly dropped. First, the communication was very poor. They told me I would originally get a temp of dates when my things would be picked up/dropped off but then once it was closer to the date I would have notice of when the specific date was. They then tried to give me less than 14 hours notice, which I couldn't make work and so had to push back on. They did move things around but this was needlessly stressful. Horrible time. | Sarah |
