Battlemoving Reviews 

Stay away from Battle! Multiple lies from multiple people at Battle Moving. They take a 30% deposit and then scam you on the refund by initially saying you can cancel up to 7 days prior to pickup ( like most movers) but actually have a policy for only a 72 hr window for cancellation that you are not notified of. Brokers like this are terrible. Good movers aren't cheap and cheap movers aren't good.

I wish I could give them a zero! I put a deposit down for a move that was to take place yesterday. Just a couple pieces of furniture to be moved from Washington state to Arkansas. I hate to admit I was scammed, but I was. No one called or showed up to load my furniture, and for the third day in a row, I have been unable to reach anyone at battle moving (phone or email). After reading the reviews on this site it sounds like I’m pretty lucky getting off with only loosing my deposit.

I hired Battle Moving expecting a smooth, professional move. Instead, they brokered me to American Eagle Relocation (DOT #3700234), which turned into the worst move I’ve ever had.

Final cost was over $1,100 more than my quote, items were damaged, and an entire storage bin is still missing after a month. Communication has been absolutely awful.

Battle Moving made the referral and then disappeared. If you care about your belongings and peace of mind, look elsewhere.

Horrible experience- do not trust them or use

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They are not clear on space in the truck. They use a third party to move. The third party (SALA moving) lost some of my things and both battle moving and SALA moving were very rude and difficult to work with.

They are brokers. They do bait and switch. They lure customers with a low price and jack it up once they get the deposit. Ended up paying double the original estimate and still had to leave a lot of stuff behind because they kept gouging for more.

Very immoral and unethical company.

We had a decent experience with this company. I would give 4.75 stars only because they were about an hour late on moving day; however, they did communicate this with us. I've had movers before and this was a far better experience. Allow them to price your job properly and magically the move goes well. Thank you Battle Moving.

PLEASE AVOID THIS COMPANY! I moved from Louisiana to Ohio, and I was quoted $1600 at first with “Chris”. This included insurance coverage, cubic feet that my stuff would take up and fees. A woman calls back a couple days later as a check in, and she ask slightly more specific questions about my belongings. Like is the desk chair large? Is your desk L snapped? Then she told me I needed more space that I was originally was quoted for, and the price went to $2500. I asked if I don’t use all that space will you take off the price? I asked several times, and she said yes. She dad I should make sure I claimed more space then I need just encase because I can’t take more space in the truck later. This is also where I find out you share the space with other people. I was told this was a full moving company, my stuff would be wrapped in moving blankets and, all that. Cut to a day before my belongings was suppose to be picked up! Mark calls me asking to pick my stuff up early so he didn’t have to sit around all night. I said I could make it work. He shows up two hours late. I then learn it’s just Mark, he has not team, and didn’t even have a dolly. My family had to help him load the truck with my stuff. He writes up paperwork that says I owe him $713.61 and $713.61 at drop off. I said no, I should owe you about $703 at pick up and drop off. Well it turns out that Chris didn’t report how much i actually paid in my original deposit, and I had to pay Mark extra for the mistake. Mark is his own separate company btw. Day of drop off. Mark has a dolly this time and does in fact get my stuff into the apartment but beat the shit out of my belongs. He dragged my dresser (on its top) across the floor. It has no blankets or protection on it. Also he had to pick another person before dropping my stuff off so my stuff was unloaded and reloaded again. The way it was reloaded was rough. Boxes being crushed, my office chair was stacked on, and mattress being used as a shield to keep it all in. When I unpacked my stuff there was a lot of damage. I called Battle Movers about getting money back for the unused space and claims. The woman from early answers, and she basically said just because Mark packed in a smaller space doesn’t mean I took less space. Then said I needed to call Marks company for the claims. I said but I paid you for the insurance coverage. She explained that the coverage was over with the particular mover that being Mark. I called Marks “company”, and no one answered. Mark blocked my number. So yea you will get your stuff from point A to B, but damaged at the same price you could have asked a pod pick up to do it. I want to shout from the roof top to stop people from using this company but I saw this was the only place to write a review.

This company is not safe and they are liars and they charge a price before and after they came to pickup they charge another price first they say we will deliver and a week later when they have it in the truck they say that in the contract it is 21 days later I paid for two weeks until I still I don't know when I will receive my furniture because never trust is company BattleMoving they charge me first $850 and after the furniture was in the truck they charge me again $1504 and when they brought they furniture they will charge me but $1504 is nothing serious

DO NOT trust Battle Moving Group with your move, or your money. We originally booked a long-distance move from Colorado to Florida in April 2025 and paid a $1,770 deposit. A few weeks later, we decided to postpone the move because our children were still in school and we wanted to wait until summer. Our representative, Brett, confirmed the move was on hold and that the deposit would carry over. As summer approached, we reevaluated our plans and ultimately decided not to move to Florida at all, opting instead for a shorter in-state move. I reached out multiple times, by email and phone, to ask if Battle Moving Group could accommodate the in-state relocation or, if not, refund our deposit. Brett admitted the company only handles long-distance moves and said he would speak to operations. After that, we were completely ignored. My follow-up emails bounced, and when I called, the representative was rude, dismissive, and offered no help, just repeated that “it’s a company” as if that excused everything. We were never provided a mover, never received a service, and our $1,770 is still being held. This company is a broker that disappears when it’s time to be accountable. If you care about honest service and clear communication, avoid them at all costs.

First and foremost, this company misrepresented themselves. When I spoke to "Sam" on the phone he assured me (and the website says the same unless you REALLY look) that they are a full service moving company. They are not. They are brokers and once your stuff is picked up will not give you the time of day. The only reason I went with this company is I was ASSURED a fast move (I moved from Colorado to Florida) because they "need to get the truck back to Florida asap so it'll be less than a week before delivery". Boy, was that untrue. I was also given a "discount" because "we already have a truck going that way so you can share it". Well that discount flew out the door pretty quick. The amount I was originally quoted by Battle Moving Company nearly ended up being double what I ended up paying in the end. I anticipated a slight change in the cost, but not that much. To state again...they did NOT pick up my stuff. The day of pickup (which the ONLY positive thing I can say about the company I was stuck with picking up my items is they showed up on time) was the day I found out that Battle Moving Company was not picking up my stuff and only when my items were actively being loaded onto the truck. I was stuck with Loadrans LLC, who were beyond dreadful. Absolute scum of the earth moving company. ZERO communication throughout my move, which by the way took....wait for it...FIVE weeks! After 2 weeks I began calling almost daily. My calls/voicemails/texts were generally ignored or if I got someone on the phone I was always told "another 3-5 days" or "the truck is close" and even once I got a "you will 100% have your stuff by the weekend"--that one occurred 2 weeks before I got my stuff.
When my stuff finally arrived (which I'm still unpacking) every single box was crushed, furniture scratched and dented, rubber tubs broken and collapsed. Boxes were so dirty it almost looked like it was stored outdoors. I've moved across country before and know how to pack and in previous moves none of my boxes/bins were crushed or broken. But despite my very careful packing with copious amounts of bubble wrap, packing paper, etc., as I have done in the past, pretty much every box had something broken in it. The only conclusion I can assume is that my boxes were tossed around willy-nilly or honestly driven over by a forklift. My computer which was wrapped in practically an entire roll of bubble wrap AND wrapped in a comforter has a badly cracked screen and is unusable. A very expensive and irreplaceable antique armoire (that they actually wrapped in moving blankets and plastic) is badly gouged on the top. HOW could all this have happened unless my boxes and furniture were treated with extreme negligence. I haven't even begun to tally up not only the cost of damages, but the loss of income I experienced as not only was this a move of my personal items, but of my small business (which all that I need to run it was on the truck). DO NOT USE THEM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE! I can only assume that any good reviews out there are fake!

This Company is nothing but a FRAUD, don't use, you have been warned.

I contracted with Battle for a move from Colorado to Florida. As others have stated you will get a low-ball price from them on the front end and no customer service on the back.
They are a broker and will take about 33% markup on the move. They will tell you they have their own movers and they are the point of contact for any issues.
They misrepresent the inventory, just to get the contract, then if there is any issues they disappear.

I contracted for 3/4 of a semi, but when the movers showed up they had a box truck and told me the items would go back to their Denver Depot and then put on a semi. They also told me my load would be over a semi full and changed the quote from $12K to $22K and expected cash upfront.
Took 2 days to load my belongings (because they had to keep taking back to depot.
Then the fun begins, items were suppose to leave the next day, but they delayed by a week.
The driver was obnoxiously rude the entire time he was at the delivery point. AND WHAT MOVER WARES CROCKS TO A DELIVERY?
They finally showed up Sunday afternoon and demanded full payment of balance (in cash) prior to them even unlocking the door to the trailer.
To my surprise once the door was open my load actually only took about 1/2 to 3/4 of the truck, so delay and overcharge.
The mover had turned items (in boxes marked this side up and fragile) upside down and purposely stacked heavy items on top of them.
Toolboxes (full of tools) were turned upside down, seemingly on purpose.
When I said something to the Driver he said it didn't matter (maybe not to him, but to the owner of the items it does).
Even the temp laborers he hire, couldn't believe the way he was treating my belongings.
He purposely broke multiple items (on purpose, because he was mad).
Tried calling Battle and they didn't even want to answer the phone, so I called from another number and was told by their CS, was not their problem and I would have to take it up with the mover.

I wish I could give negative stars… scam. There is so much I want to say about this place. They scammed my husband who only sees good in people lol when we tried to call to get our deal upholded the guy didn’t even respond to his calls or texts. We got a call saying our new inventory price and it was 2 times what was originally quoted. Then they wouldn’t say when they would pick up our stuff we had already paid them 1200 to lock down the truck which we had to count a loss. They do not communicate, the manager is rude and not helpful and these people are just a sham. RUN AWAY!

This was the absolute worst experience of moving I’ve ever had to deal with. Before I even start the whole process of what happened THIS IS A BROKER WHO BOOKS SIDE COMPANIES (VAN LINES OR OTHER MOVING COMPANIES). Quote extremely low on cubic feet, customer service is non existent as their credit lady is their customer service, your “booking agent” (Samuel King Senior Logistics Coordinator Battle Moving Group 214-810-7417) won’t help you when you’re trying to go over inventory and they’re charging an extra 2500 because the inventory they submitted wasn’t correct. Also pretty sure this company opened a new LLC under a different name because they weren’t doing well before and here we are experiencing it.

Our sales agent submitted our cubic feet wrong because all they want to do is get a sale and secure it. The trucks are not filling up fast as they say because they’re booking outside companies (they have no trucks). Our cubic feet changed 4-5 times and even when we were finalizing everything, we had learned our sales agent entered our beds wrong, we had 2 California king beds we had to leave behind because they were wrong on the inventory list. We had called several companies before this to get quotes and SAY we had California king beds we wanted to bring with, there was no confusion and there still isn’t on this matter but our sales agent put them in as king beds. Let me just say the cubic feet of 20 boxes, side tables, 2 king beds with frames and whatever is not 315-390 cubic feet ( King had also told us we had about 8% over what it said in cubic feet because they like to leave a little extra room just in case, A LIE) . When Cathy was going over inventory it states we DOUBLED with 2 California king beds , we were about to pay another 2500 on our 2200 we were spending and been told the price was final (that was a lie), it would take 3-5 days to receive our stuff (they will probably say the contract states that they aren’t responsible for a timeline but are promising their customers this), and I could keep going.

It’s been 22 days since our stuff has been thrown in a storage unit and we have heard no word of it. (Their “customer service” team will say when the carrier they booked receives our stuff it’s now out of their hands) and now the carrier they booked doesn’t even have an ETA on when our stuff will arrive. Sitting in the middle of 106 degree weather in a storage unit because we had no clue until the day of our pickup.

HOW TERRIBLE for a company to lie, use, abuse, and have no solution to the continuous problems it’s causing to people who are trying to change their lives for the better. THEY WILL CHARGE YOU OVER YOU CUBIC FEET UPON PICKUP BECAUSE THEY SO NOT HONESTLY TELL YOU A CORRECT CUBIC FEET. JUST AN FYI.

The representative for Battle Moving gave a very poor estimate for moving my 4 bedroom home. The estimate was so far off that that when the movers arrived (the carriers) they could not load even half of my belongings, leaving me and my husband to move all the rest of it to a storage area in order to vacate our home in time for the new owners to arrive. This crunch happened because they arrived a day later than scheduled. The Battle Moving team was not helpful in resolving the issue at all; in fact the original representative would not even answer my calls or texts. We were left with needing to find a SECOND moving company to transport the remainder of our belongings to another state for our move. Do NOT use this company. They will lie and agree to anything to get your business but then make your move hell!

Battle Movers Mike was a very smooth talker and insisted he was not the broker that his company would see my move all the way through.... and that couldn’t have been any further from the truth. I kept calling and Patrick another cohort of his and it was just back-and-forth... It didn’t go the way that it was told to me.
They charged me more money when it was on the truck... who knew how many more cubic feet there was? There was no indicationor unit of measurement to show me that I was 90 cubic over the limit.
Another $400 charge.
Battle movers basically held my stuff hostage. I’m very disappointed with them and you should stay away.
Michael Battaglia will ease your mind and tell you all the things you need to hear.. but he’s just a broker.. sells once he loads you up somebody else comes and takes your stuff to a shipyard and you think you're signing a receipt but I ended up signing a new contractwith another company.
That company ended up telling me that I would receive delivery about 3 weeks later. Totally not was what I agreed to!

I wholeheartedly regret giving this company the benefit of the doubt when coordinating my move from Texas to Florida. I went against my better judgement from using Budd Van Lines who moved me last year for a previous work move due to pricing, thinking they were much more expensive. However, the customer service and promises I was made was all a sales pitches by Michael that turned out to be lies and false advertisement. I also requested a move date of May 2nd. Michael gave me this DOT website to review all of the complaints received for moving companies, which was useless because Battle wasn't the company that was going to move me, they were going to source another company and at that time I had no visibility to what company that was going to be.

I was quoted roughly $4398 initially from doing a verbal inventory request, which I found weird, because the other companies I went through to get
a quote conducted a virtual call to see all of my things. I provided Michael with these quotes as well to see why they were much higher, and he still managed to quote me a much lower price based on same space and inventory (so he say). A week before my move, I got a call from Cathy (who is supposedly the customer service rep and manager) who stated I needed to pay an additional $650 for the size of my sectional, which I paid. Even though I mentioned that my sectional, bed, and mirror was large.

Now, the move........ the company they sourced was Rushmore movers. Instead of coming on the 2nd they came on May 3rd. I was understanding even though it put me back a whole day. They show up in a Uhaul and start to review all of my items. Next thing you know they quoting me an additional $2k or so because of my sectional, bed, and mirror. Stating that Cathy listed my items as large when they are an XL. As you can imagine, I was so frustrated because what did I pay an additional $650 for? This is when I started to feel I was scammed! On top of this, Rushmore did not accept payments via credit card, zelle, ect.) so I was lucky that the bank was opened on a Saturday. I had to leave the movers in my apartment while I went to the bank to get a cashier's check. I had it made out to Battle because the driver did not answer his phone while I was at the bank. Upon return, he stated he thought I was getting cash, but I would need to get the cashier's check made out to Rushmore. I was furious! Overall move day was a headache, it was 3 guys and they took 4-5 hrs to move a 1 bedroom apartment.
Upon completion, I called Battle and spoke with Andrew who was on call. I told him my experience and he stated he would let the owners know and someone would call me back. I also followed up via email with Michael. On Monday, I waited until lunch to call again since I had not heard back from battle, Andrew answered and said Michael would call me shortly. He never called back or responded to my email. He promised my things would be delivered within a week (his initial sales pitch) but when talking to Rushmore they were never given my timeline!
I eventually spoke to Cathy again, inquired about the $650 I paid she quoted me for for space and she tried to tell me my inventory on her paperwork was less than what they moved. So I guess I should have accounted for bath towels, ironboard, books etc when all they asked for was my furniture, SCAM!! She said that she talked to Rushmore and they was going to remove the stair fee. Lies!
To sum this up, Rushmore sourced Easy Florida Moving to get my things to me by the end of the week. Rushmore ended up being more helpful than the whole Battle company, including Cathy who was initially combative with me via phone. I give kudos to the guy from Easy Florida Moving. He drove here from Texas and arrived in the evening. He had no help but moved all of my belongings and furniture to the 3rd floor by his self.

I know this is a lengthy review but I want to save someone else the time, money, and trouble from working with Battle! Please do yourself a favor and just find a actual moving company instead of paying them to find you a random company that will show up quote you more, and request cash only. I had to pay Easy Florida moving in cash.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

Was quoted a price with my inventory list and pictures of my inventory. Upon pick-up, like others have said, my inventory was magically double. Upon asking 3 times I've never been given any information as to what items were not on my original inventory list.

And now that my move is over all of a sudden their google reviews have disappeared so I cannot leave a review.

Agreed
Total Scam.
Gave an entire itemized list of all items to be moved and a “solid” quote months in advance. However days before move a new quote more than double claiming the items would fit in the space that was quoted even though I gave exact items for the first quote. Have to throw away more than ½ of what was to be moved and pay double the original quote just to get a very small portion of what was originally quoted to be moved only to have every large item arrived broken or damaged in some way. Totally waste of time and money!

Paid a little more with Battle then we were quoted elsewhere. Glad I listen to my wife and didn't go with a less expensive company. The team that showed up were super nice and worked like beast. I personal think they wrapped some stuff more then it needed it to be. They wrapped everything and Loaded a 26 ft truck in about 3.5 hours.
Unloaded everything in about 1.5 hours.
Tipped team $100 each. Special thanks to Javier and wish him and his misses all the best with the new addition to thier family.
