Unpakt is trying to scam customers. Do not use! To be clear, this review is for Unpakt, rather than the moving company. The moving company was great but the Unpakt customer rep I spoke to was rude and abusive. After the move, I was randomly charged $300 because the Unpakt woman told me that the movers had to switch to a smaller truck to deliver my furniture. I contacted the movers directly and they told me that they did not switch and had not asked Unpakt to charge me. While I was successful in getting my refund eventually, it seems obvious to me that Unpakt was just trying to scam me out of $300, since the movers weren't even aware that this fee was charged post move. On top of that, every interaction with the Unpakt customer rep was a nightmare. She was rude and abusive and unwilling to listen to reason. Don't use Unpakt unless you are looking to get scammed!

Great concept...HORRENDOUS customer service! I'll be honest...I'm fully supportive of having a middle company guarantee the price of your move (especially if you are going cross country). I've only moved cross-country once but the lack of a transparent pricing structure is unreal and SO costly. There is room for growth in this industry and I'm glad someone is working to improve that process. That being said, the customer service at Unpakt is HORRENDOUS. I highly suggest you make sure you have all your moving inventory is added the first time (or else you will need to re-approve billing as the prices change). This makes for a very unclear process as to when the move actually gets charged to your account. I understand why my move got canceled but the mere fact that the woman on the other end was so horrendous and unapologetic about the cancellation - I'd probably not recommend this until they get their "you know what" together. Be nice to people when they are moving because its a headache. At the end of the day you are in the service industry and positive attitudes go a long way.

Stolen labor and scam for moving companies and lying to people who book the move Hi to everyone For moving business who wants to do the jobs for Unpakt and customers: People book the move using the Unpakt platform. After, Unpakt hire small moving companies to perform the job. The companies do the job but the payment for the job receives the Unpakt, not the moving company. After, Unpakt is not paying the moving company for the job performed. The moving company calls them, send them multiple emails, and nothing. What are they doing is fraud and they need to be reported for stolen labor. Advice for customers: Book directly with a legit moving company. Don't use the Unpakt platform. They still hire moving companies and in the end, don't pay them. They are using people's money but this money goes into Unpakt pocket, not to the moving company who is moving you. BTW, When you go with Unpakt you pay approximately 20-30% more for your move.

Unclear 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.

Thumbs Down Unpakt Does not answer e-mails Unpakt did not address my concerns when I wrote them about my problem. Requested in home consultation of 2 moving. Heard from 1 within 1 hour confirming appointment. I took afternoon off from work to meet with them. They never showed up or called. They called 6 days later to come. I told them not to bother. I would never use this service for a move, you would be lucky if they show up to move you. I e-mailed unpakt with my complaint and never heard from them.
