Moving Reviews
Real Ocala area customers. Unedited, unfiltered reviews of A Move Ahead Movers.
Maryjane O
These guys were wonderful.
I wasn't actually moving, just putting things in a PODS for a home remodel.
They actually called to ask if they could come earlier than planned, were very professional, extremely polite and considerate. They certainly knew what and how to move everything and were very careful of our items. I was very happy and they finished well within the 3 hour window.
I am having the company come back after the remodel to move the items again. I hope I get the same wonderful guys. What a joy to have.

In preparation for my July 14 packing appointment I communicated all my concerns and questions to Tony Boyd at Move Ahead movers and followed his requirements to the "t" re purchasing 48 packing blankets, bubble wrap and mirror boxes, film wrap, rope, and tape. Tony warned that my property would otherwise not be 'insured'. Anessa arrived on time with her helper for our scheduled 3 hour appointment. They wore masks per my request most of the time. I did a quick walk through with Anessa pointing out the more valuable and fragile items I had discussed with Tony as well as the packing materials he specified. Anessa informed me at this point that Tony had taken her truck so she did not have her toolbox and was not properly prepared. This did not bode well. The main inconsistencies and miscommunications I want to report are these:
1. Large mirrors and framed artwork and expensive mattresses were not wrapped per agreement.
2. Fragile family heirloom clock marked with bright orange stickers and "This side UP" was placed upside down by trainee.
3. Due to lack of proper tools I had to borrow screwdriver from neighbor and we disassembled furniture ourselves to expedite the packing as time was running out.
4. Trainee was extremely careless and I watched him knock furniture into truck, and fence and literally break a fragile head board. I voiced my alarm but he seemed unfazed.
5. They exceeded the 3 hour appt. by a 2 full hours despite my family's involvement and then Move Ahead left without a final walk through leaving bedframes, mirrors, random furniture pieces and hardware scattered throughout the house and shed.
6. I paid Move Ahead for two professional packers and got one. Although Anessa worked diligently and capably she could not accomplish the job of two people in the allotted 3 hours. The fiscal onus of training should not be borne by the customer!
I expect compensation if any of my property was damaged by the slipshod packing.

They did a really nice job. They packed way more in the POD than I ever thought possible. They were worth every penny.

These guys did a great job loading heavy furniture, boxes and a piano - and in the hot Florida July heat! Matthew and Dakota work well as a team. They’ll be back in a few days to load the second Pod, and then the Pods hit the road for TN, where a new team will unload.
Gina M
Tony and the team arrived late, but did not stop moving the minute they walked though the door. All my furniture was wrapped and moved with care. Tony used every inch of space in packing the truck. I was very satisfied with our service. I’ll definitely use Tony again.
Debbie K
They arrived as expected and worked hours for the entire time. They were very respectful towards me and all my belongings.
Tyler Z
The movers who came were very friendly and quick unloading the truck. Made the second part of my move far easier than the first. Would definitely hire them again for my next move.
Ryan C
