The guys were friendly and got the job done in a timely manner. All of our stuff was well taken of and put where it needed to be.

The movers were supposed to show between 3-4 PM. They arrived around 7 PM after I was done unloading and had requested a full refund. They didn’t move a single thing. I still see a charge of $371 on my bank account. I want my full refund.

Mover's response:
Hi this is unfortunate. We did our best to accommodate this on a very busy day, with unexpected bumps in the road . Your refund gets processed over a few days Ms. Tena. The team has been already on it from the beginning. We also did show up, with many of your things still on your truck and POD and on the street. So no, you were not near done unloading, I have pictures of your POD and things here to show. We also offered to move you for free and you refused while you were on the POD yourself with many boxes still to unload. Again, we offered to help you out for free, It looks like the driver of the POD helped you for his tip. We were happy to do it. Good luck regardless.

Great service by Daniel and team packing our storage containers for a cross-country move. They were friendly, meticulous and professional. We had several fragile items, and Astra movers listened to my concerns and took great care in packing.

Mover's response:
Thank you Danielle! We hope your new move into Dallas goes wonderfully. It was a great pleasure meeting you and your family. Thanks for receiving us warmly. Best of luck to you guys.

Daniel and his crew showed up when they said they would, which is a great way to start. They were extremely efficient and careful in moving our furniture out of our home and into the POD. Daniel was like a master Tetris player making sure everything fit. Highly recommend!

Mover's response:
Hi Michael, thanks so much. It was a great pleasure moving your things to the POd for storage. We hope your renovation goes amazingly !

The movers were very professional. Some of my items had been broken in transport, and they still handled them with care, which I thought was very respectful on their part. It was also incredibly hot and humid the day of the move, plus my building is a walkup, and they worked consistently. I definitely could not have done that myself and I greatly appreciate their help. They really did an amazing job to get everything done quickly. I would definitely recommend Astra Moving!

Mover's response:
Thanks Payton, please call us anytime you need labor help. We’ll be happy to do it.

Astra Moving did a great job for us. I called them on the day of my move and they were able to accommodate my needs. The owner, Dan, was very responsive and was very thorough in his communication. The 2 workers (Romnel and Pepe) were very professional and friendly. They worked hard to get the job done. I would highly recommend Astra Moving without reservation.

Mover's response:
Hi thank you Kevin for this review, we are pleased that you were happy with our work. Please let us know if you need help again we’ll take great care of you.

I recently hired this team of 4 to help me move items from two storage units and a U-Haul into a shipping container. They exceeded my expectations! The men were kind, professional, and accommodating, especially when we encountered space constraints in the container.

Daniel did a great job leading the team, and the others were meticulous when moving furniture using dollies and hand trucks. One area for improvement could be bringing their own equipment (or letting the customer know what would be needed in advance), such as furniture straps and dollies (we were able to find a few that the storage unit provided and one that I had from Uhaul).

Despite the complexity of the task and the hot weather (the hottest day in June), the team worked efficiently and carefully. The project took longer than expected (five hours instead of two), but this was understandable given the amount of items we were packing.

Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the service and would highly recommend this team to anyone in need of professional movers.

Polite, hard working, wrapped breakables better than I could have done myself, grateful for the help

Mover's response:
Thank you Mary! We enjoyed packing your things and making sure everything was packed, went to storage and disposal correctly. Please contact us for any of your future labor needs.

They need their own rides Need to be on time a little better a little faster, With moving overall, you’re pretty cool we took care of them. We tipped them well I gave them right back but thanks anyway and appreciate all you do thanks martin

Mover's response:
He Complains about punctuality like it killed him when we were only 30 minutes late, we arrived at 11AM when we were supposed to arrive at 10:30AM. By the way he had to go to work 10 minutes away at 2PM and we finished at 1:50, still keeping him on time for his schedule. We also accommodated him and his mother very well after she didn’t want half of the things we loaded his truck with. We were moving things back and forth for no reason. If he had planned better and asked her what she didn’t want beforehand, we would’ve finished the job faster so complaining about being faster and better isn’t relevant at all here. Please take this review with a grain of salt. We always strive to provide 5 star service. Book with us you won’t be disappointed.

Daniel and crewmate arrived when promised and went above and beyond to help me move boxes and then secured them in the POD. They were efficient, and very caring for my things.

Mover's response:
Hi Patty, thanks so much for the kind words. Call us again, we’ll take great care of your moving and labor needs.
