Modern Movers, Inc

I have worked with moving companies for 20 years in my business and even owned my own moving company for a short time.

Moving is always stressful especially when going from one city to another

In a simultaneous move just after Hurricane Ian.

They sent a professional over to give me an estimate that was fair.

The team that picked up was the same team that delivered 150 miles away.

They were very quick, careful and courteous.

Communication before and after was fantastic!

I highly recommend Modern Movers.

Avoid this company at all costs! I hired Modern Movers to move my furniture and boxed goods. They were rough handling the boxes and took items that I told them to leave. But the worst part was their refusal to take responsibility for damage caused by their defective equipment. My goods had to stay in their truck for 4 nights due to the fact that they were too busy to deliver on the day I wanted. They also charged me for storage during that time. This was a local move, and during those 4 nights we had rain and their truck leaked. When my goods were delivered many of the boxes were soaking wet and had collapsed. I immediately called their office and advised them of this fact. When I unpacked the wet boxes I found that many items were broken. I took photos of each broken item as well as the collapsed boxes and filed a claim for $2,500. They sent me a check for $36 stating that since I didn't purchase extra insurance I wasn't entitled to more. Needless to say I wasn't satisfied as the damage was caused by their failure to maintain their equipment, not by insufficient packing. After several months of corresponding back and forth I decided to take them to small claims court. The court process was fairly easy and did not involve me hiring a lawyer. When we got to court I explained the situation to the judge, who seemed to agree with me. The owner of the company tried to say that I used the wrong boxes and that's why they collapsed. The judge stated that water and cardboard do not mix. Then the owner referred to the original contract that I signed. In the small print at the end it states that they have no responsibility for damages caused by almost anything!!! I'm sure this is standard wording of any moving contract, but I believe the company should have a moral obligation to reimburse me since the damage was obviously due to their negligence in not maintaining their equipment. Since I signed the contract, which I did not have a choice on if I wanted my goods moved, the judge ruled against me.

I have been putting writing this off for a year. We had them move us four hours north of Cape Coral, Fl. The 3 gentlemen that packed us up also drove to our new residency to unpack us. Within two days I realized I was missing a container but thought I may have overlooked it so kept unpacking boxes. Takes a while to unpack and put your things away in a new house as we had lived in Cape Coral for 21 years. Slowly I was realizing that I couldn’t find some items, so would write them down in case I had over looked them. Well I hadn’t over looked them----they were gone!!!! The items missing I would not have packed them in the same box so I’m missing 3-4 boxes. I realize that I will probable not remember everything that doesn’t show up, but I have made a list and a couple of items were personal family items. My recommendation if you use this company is to number every box, that way when you get to your new location you’ll know if one is missing, I wish someone would have told me that. Beware, don’t trust them.

We had some large heavy items that needed moved to our new house. It was a local move from one side of Fort Myers to the other. The contents also included a piano. Movers were prompt and professional. They were efficient and strong so I didn't worry that they would drop something or injure themselves while moving the items.
The office staff was really helpful in working out the details and giving us a price right away on the phone. We were priced by the approximate weight and the number of men needed to move the items. The cost was $150 per hour for 3 hours minimum. They also brought boxes and packed our flat screen TV and large 7ft mirror.
I would highly recommend them for your moving needs.

Note: late pickup was due employee illness. I as given a discount to compensate. The price quoted was correct including the above discount. All employees were excellent including packers, Kerri and kelvin, and deliverer, Pablo. When the packers arrived, they packed everything and labeled all of the boxes. They were particularity careful with my fragile items. I was amassed at quickly they finished. The deliverer was also very efficient. Everything was delivered in excellent condition. I would highly recommend modern movers.
