GBDO NOT USE UNPAKT, possible fraud. Scheduled with unpakt 6 months prior to move. Was given 1 mover to choose from. unpakt charged me IN FULL 2 days before the move. Email, text and phone confirmations prior to the move. 1 hour before the move, the local company cancels. unpakt customer service was unavailable - NO HELP AT ALL. > unpakt is a referral service. That is all. The local mover they referred me to was horrible. Not much of vetting process here. > unpakt charges outrageously. The company I found (last minute, showed up within 2 hours) charged 60% of what unpakt did. AND they didn't charge until AFTER the job (except deposit). > unpakt customer service is the worst. No answer for several hours on the day their mover cancelled and I HAD to be out of my house. > I had to dispute the charges thru my CC company. THAT'S CORRECT: they no show, but wouldn't refund my money. Fraudulent.

GBUnclear on what the service actually probides I was unaware that I required a parking permit for loading and unloading, meaning that the move had to be cancled. The unpakt team didn't mention that this may be an issue worth investigating, additionally much of the literature on the site says that you don't need to contact your mover before the move because 'it's all settled'. I'm extremely frustrated with their service, when I called the customer service rep they said "oh yea, well you should have done that, I know it's not on our website. Nothing we can do sorry". Not a great experience.

GBGot the job done but not great I will say that everything was moved as warranted. However, the quote that I was promised versus what I was actually charged was different. On top of that, the movers, once at my new place charged me an additional fee and expected me to pay on the spot. Overall I'm satisfied my stuff was moved (pretty low bar) but am very disappointed in the vagueness of pricing and added fees charged to me by the movers. I would not recommend this service because of these issues.

GBWould not recommend We used unpakt for our move from Chicago to San Francisco. The movers came on time and honored the quote provided through the unpakt dashboard. The problems began after the movers packed up our furniture. We still haven't heard from the movers on when our furniture will be delivered. They outsourced the pickup to another 3rd party vendor who doesn't answer their phone. It's been 4 weeks now and I still cannot get a STATUS update. Unpakt customer service tells me to contact the movers. The movers tell me to contact the delivery truck. The delivery truck company doesn't answer their phone. And these guys had the HIGHEST rated reviews through unpakt. I would not recommended unpakt for anyone, just go with yelp reviews, its the same service with a higher volume of reviews off yelp.

GBNot the best choice for my move, but now they won't leave me alone! I needed movers in April of this year, and put the word out. One of the companies that I inquired with is Unpakt, and I rue that day. The initial interaction was fine; their pricing was a bit high and I went with someone else. But it's SIX MONTHS LATER and I'm still getting emails on the regular. Yes, I've moved already. My lease is halfway over. Go away!
