  First you should know they subcontract you out. I didn’t know I was getting different moving company until they showed up. I would never have gone through a referral service such as this had I known. Learned the hard way that no accountability or authority over moving companies they send to you. The owner of moving company was so rude and angry that I now know I will not get anything back because starving students can’t do anything about it. Below is my review of actual moving company they sent to me but I will comment on starving student first. I had an absolute horrible experience with the movers. I was quoted 4 hours with 4 movers and they took 7.5 moving exactly what I disclosed we needed moved plus 30 min of driving time so 8 hours for 4 hour job. They were deliberately slow to get more money for move. I called starving students right after they left my house. I spoke to Ashley snd she was very nice. She said she would send to her manager to hopefully get some of the over charge refunded. I had to call back several times to follow up after no one contacted me. Every time I spoke to her she was very nice but never any results. Today almost 4 weeks later I called again to get update on my complaint. This time I spoke to Giovanni and he also was very nice. Told me he needs invoice so he can contact the moving company. I unfortunately can’t find it after 4 weeks of moving into our home. Found out today starving students can’t do anything about the horrible experience and overcharge from the moving company. The movers were Superb movers. The owner was very rude and on his phone a lot. I paid for 2 extra workers to insure my move would be done in time quoted. Only two of them actually looked like they were trying to get things done. The other two (one being owner) apparently had all the time in the world. My sons and I started to help with the unloading to help speed things up but too little too late. I paid twice as much as I was expecting and the owner had the nerve to try his best to intimidate me into giving a 20% tip. After I didn’t budge and told him he took too long and overcharged me he stormed off.

  Bravo to Jeff and Roberto were great. They did a move before mine and were tired but did great job anyway.

  Not thrilled they sub-contracted the move to another company (went with Starving Student Movers since they were local and a team from Orange County drove out to my office in Riverside County). I was hoping that a 4 office move across the parking lot would be done in a few hours but I guess when you pay someone hourly they are going to milk it. Thought 3 hours and ended up being almost 7 hours! Not only hit my wallet it also significantly impacted my office move as I couldn't prepare to open the next day as planned. They got the job done which is why it got 2 stars. Although I feel like I should give those stars to the actual company that did the job.
