The WORST
I believe MovingApt removed my wife’s post, so I’m sharing our experience again because people deserve to know what they’re actually signing up for.
Back in January 2026, we reached out to MovingApt to book movers for a cross-country move happening in June 2026. We chose MovingApt because, at the time, the quote and payment structure fit our budget. Our representative Ian assured us that our belongings would be handled with care and that, before our pickup window of 6/16-6/18, a moving company would be assigned to our move.
Unfortunately, that was not what happened. On 6/8, we were scheduled to speak with our new representative Stephanie to finalize details for the move. During that call, she informed me that movers had still not been assigned and that the purpose of the call was actually just to review the inventory of items being moved. This was concerning because we were only days away from our scheduled pickup window.
By 6/16, our move still had not been assigned and communication was extremely limited unless I initiated contact myself. I was calling and texting dispatch every two to three hours just trying to get updates. At one point, a representative answered and actually told me she wasn’t supposed to answer my call. Finally, on 6/17, the move was assigned. However, we still did not know when the movers would arrive on 6/18 until after 5 PM on 6/17, when we were finally given a pickup window of 10 AM to 2 PM.
What was never disclosed to us was what would happen to our belongings after pickup. The moving company assigned to us, Bright Way out of Nevada, picked up our belongings in San Diego and transported them to a Public Storage facility in San Jose, where they sat for about a week. Then they were moved from San Jose to another Public Storage facility in Nevada, where they sat for another week before eventually being shipped to Minnesota.
We only knew this because we had an AirTag in one of our boxes. We watched our belongings being moved in and out of storage almost daily for close to three weeks. At no point was this process clearly communicated to us.
Then, when our belongings finally arrived in Minnesota, only one person showed up to deliver an entire household. Because of that, I personally had to help unload the truck and move our belongings into our apartment. I paid nearly $3,000 for a moving service, yet I still had to do the work I was paying them to do.
Unfortunately, the issues did not end there. When we began unpacking our belongings, we discovered that multiple items had been damaged during the move. Heavy boxes had clearly been stacked on top of lighter, fragile items. We had picture frames damaged, glassware that had been carefully wrapped in bubble wrap and blankets broken, a desk with significant chips, and damage to one of our dressers.
These were not just random items in boxes. These were our personal belongings, things we trusted MovingApt and their assigned movers to handle with care.
I understand that moving is complicated and that unexpected issues can happen. However, what we experienced was a complete lack of communication, transparency, and coordination from the beginning. The fact that we had to constantly chase updates, track our own belongings through AirTags, help unload the truck ourselves, and then deal with damaged items afterward was incredibly frustrating.
When you trust a company with everything you own, you expect honesty about the process and confidence that your belongings are being handled properly. Unfortunately, that was not our experience with MovingApt.
Do your research before trusting this company with your move.
