GBCROOKS Safe Bound Moving and Storage Safe Bound Moving and Storage is the worst. Dont believe they're fake reviews that the algorithms have detected as fraudulent and all coming from the same IP Address. Safe Bound Movers are CRIMINALS ! When they were in Canada the police raided their office and arrested them for criminal business practices . BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE !!!!! A number of non-genuine reviews for this business originated from the same IP address and/or the same computer, which may mean that someone was trying to artificially influence this business's rating. Our review filter is still working, but this apparent effort to mislead visitors was big enough for us to take additional steps to notify consumer

GBIf I could give this company less than… If I could give this company less than a star I would. Empire moving used/recommended them for a move from FL to CA. On arrival movers refused to wear masks, required $1300 more for services rendered then delivered after 9 (nine) days past the deadline promised requiring $650 more. They’re shakedown artists. Do NOT use this company. Forgot to mention that goods arrived damaged.

GBFraudulent Documents and Damaged Belongings Edit: In February of 2021, Safebound reached out to me claiming that they have made changes to their business policies and personnel. They offered additional compensation to prove their sincerity and resolve my complaint. I accepted their offer. Original post: Safebound prepared fraudulent documents and damaged our belongings during my family's move last July. In working through complaints with various consumer and government agencies, they have repeatedly accused me of lying (despite evidence to the contrary) and have offered only 8% of our moving costs in exchange for our silence. I believe the public deserves to hear about my experience and include it below. Safebound Logistics sent only one person to load our belongings (Mike P.), and we saw him damage a Paloma II dining table and Andover floor mirror, both from Crate & Barrel. While loading, he pointed out to us a single shelf that was scratched, but because he did that, we assumed that he would bring to our attention any cosmetic issues he noticed. Instead, he fraudulently and incorrectly marked that literally every piece of furniture was in a damaged condition at origin. To do so, Mike used numeric codes that weren’t immediately clear and then pressured us to sign the paperwork quickly because he was desperate to get on the road. We didn’t notice or understand the damage codes when we signed the paperwork, and he certainly didn’t point them out. After delivery, we figured out the meaning of the numeric codes and found that those codes don't even match the location of damages we claimed. For example, Mike marked all 8 dining chairs, an armchair, an end table, 2 beds, a 3rd dresser, and a 3rd nightstand as scratched and/or soiled, but all are still in perfect condition. This proves that his list of damages is fraudulent. Instead, many of our items were damaged during the move due to Safebound's negligence. They even lost an essential part of our sofa, rendering it unusable. We chose Safebound because their sales team promised that our items would remain on a single truck for the entire move, but then they then unloaded and reloaded the entire shipment. This likely contributed to the damages we incurred. While our items were in transit, I asked for a final cost so I could have a bank check ready at delivery. They emailed a final price, but then demanded another $228 in charges before they would unload our furniture. Given all of this, I believe that fraud and false claims are common practice for Safebound. We have reached out to the company directly, filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau and Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and endured a nearly year-long settlement process with the industry-biased, third-party, CSI Pros platform. At the end of the day, Safebound offered to buy our silence for less than 8% of what we paid. All the while, they have continued to defend their incompetent employees in spite of damaged goods and fraudulent documents. Worse yet, when they replied to the FDACS, they twisted my words and then accused me of lying despite clear evidence to the contrary. In closing, here is what we learned about Safebound Logistics. Get every detail in writing, though in our case, they didn’t even honor what they put in writing. Furthermore, watch the loading crew (or individual) like a hawk. They will mark that everything you own is damaged. Read every line of every page and ask that they explain (in writing) every stray mark written on the page, because if you don’t, they will later claim it means you agreed that every piece of furniture you own was damaged before they loaded it. Finally, if you choose to entrust your belongings to them, you should definitely take out insurance to protect from the mistakes they will certainly make. Apparently, protecting your items from damage is not included in the price they will quote—it’s like a car company charging an extra fee to make sure the new car you bought has no manufacturing defects. If a moving company is unable to move furniture without damaging it and/or unable to execute documents without committing fraud, they should not offer insurance; they should stop moving furniture and find another industry. Just stay away.

GBExcellent The crew drove from West Palm Beach to Winterhaven and were on time. The crew was excellent, polite, professional and the truck was extremely clean. Very pleased with the pick up of our belongings. Definitely would use them again.

GBSafebound Lures you in with Low Quote Safebound completely took advantage of my (sharp) 86 year old mother. The sales rep, Luke, reviewed her items and my mother sent a video. His quote had 30 small to medium boxes with NO wardrobe boxes. She had a walk-in and double closet full of clothes. He also told my Mom that soft clothes could remain in her dresser. On moving day the movers told us he absolutely would not move loaded dressers! More boxes, this time purchased from them on moving day. The actual cost was 1.5x’s more than the quote!!!! Repeatedly we were told by Luke and Junior in customer service, “5-7 business days” from pick up for delivery. On day 7, the truck still had not left Florida! The customer service manager refused to believe his team could have said these things to us, yet every call is recorded. Of course, we never heard back regarding confirmation of our conversations! Stay away from Safebound they caused tremendous stress and aggravation right up to delivery day!
