I will absolutely NEVER recommend or use this company again. My mother passed away and I wanted her antique curio cabinet to be shipped to my home. She lived in Texas and I am in Pennsylvania. I paid $3000 for the "white glove" delivery. The gentlemen that picked up the piece was EXTREMELY inexperienced with moving large items. I should have known then that this experience was going to go downhill. After a MONTH of waiting, I finally got the call that the curio was going to be delivered. Once it was in my home, I was told they could not unwrap it. I had to unwrap it myself only to discover broken glass and heavy damage to 2 of the doors. The doors had been pushed in so far that the door stops had snapped off along with parts of the framing. It was VERY obvious that ZERO care had taken with this very precious piece. It would have been safer and cheaper for me to just throw it in a Uhaul and transport it myself. I asked for a partial refund and was told that since I did not get the insurance they were not liable. Silly me for thinking that $3000 would get me way better care and service than I received.

My grandmother passed away November 2024. My Grandparents had a beautiful stained glass piece made by my Aunt that has been a remarkable statement to their home for 40+ years. This piece holds so much of my family’s legacy, and memories from my Grandparent’s home that is now being sold. My Grandfather spent a lot of money back in January or February to ship it to me but I have not received it. Him and my uncle have called several times and keep getting told they can’t track it. I just called and was on hold for 10 minutes before having to leave a message. I am starting to think this company is not real, and that my Grandfather got scammed. Do not trust them with your valuable items!!!! No money or refund will make this right. The only thing to correct this is for me to receive my family’s gift to me.

What started out as a good experience turned ugly when both of my valuable pieces were damaged. One was done while their crew packaged the item and didn't own up to it. I had gone through the steps required by insurance and was frustrated by both Customer Service lack of response and the dead ends I kept coming up on. However, the owner of the company reached out personally and rectified the situation to my satisfaction. If I need to ship again, I would still continue to use Ship Smart.

Excellent delivery service if you want to pay around twice the quoted price and have it delivered a month late.

This company is so terrible I find it hard to believe this actually happened, and I'm the one who experienced it. If I wasn't financially secure I'd have been in a really, really bad spot and I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to take advantage of you once they have picked up your furniture.

Yes, I did provide them with every single piece of technical and logistical information they requested beforehand, and more. Yes, I was accurate. I even over-estimated the size and weight. They were extremely frustrating to deal with. Luckily, they hire good subcontractors. Use LITERALLY ANY OTHER COMPANY I will not be a repeat customer. 2 stars because my couch got here in 1 piece, eventually. Honestly if I hadn't called them a half dozen times or whatever I wonder if they'd have even shipped it.

This company is a dishonest, disorganized, unethical mess. They quoted me around $2100 and then nickel and dimed me up to 3600+ AFTER they picked up my couch. They insisted that a crate would be necessary, AFTER they picked the couch up despite saying the exact opposite beforehand. After I paid for the crate they then said the weight was over 600lbs instead over under 200 and demanded I pay for that, too. The only reason I paid was because the couch has been in my family since forever and they had already picked it up before they started demanding more money. Rose in particular was rude, refused to listen, took forever to respond, randomly left the office for days/weeks/however long in the middle of dealing with me, and nobody else at the company had the authority or willingness to get my couch shipped. I told more than one of them "Just ship it, I will pay, I don't care" and they ignored me. I even apologized at one point because I felt bad for being impatient, but in retrospect I wish I hadn't. They owe ME an apology, and probably about $1500, but it isn't worth my time to try to get it out of them. Instead I will leave this review, and encourage everyone to never use this company for anything.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY unless you want to constantly be on them about getting your furniture shipped, don't care about spending 2-3x more money than they initially quoted you, and don't mind if it shows up a 2-4 weeks after the quoted delivery date.

On the phone I believe they said they could get it to me in 5-7 business days. They picked it up in early March and I didn't receive it until April 9th, and I had to call/email them A LOT in between to get them to actually go through the process.

Oh, and during all that they demanded information that DID NOT EXIST such as "proof of value" for an heirloom couch. What am I supposed to do, dig through an historical archive? Absolutely disgraceful.

My fiance and I had an excellent experience with Ship Smart moving our items from California to Maryland! The crew—Aaron, Dennis, and Jose—arrived on April 8th and were incredibly professional, careful, and efficient with packing and loading. They treated our stuff with great care. The communication throughout the process has been proactive and easy. Highly recommend them for anyone needing careful, specialized shipping!"

I paid to have a China cabinet and fragile glass items shipped across the country. When the China cabinet arrived at my house, it had been crated with the bare wood and glass against a wood shipping container, with no protective barrier. The cabinet was on its side. The glass shelves had been removed and crated separately, which was good, but the pegs that held the shelves were left loose in a mostly glass cabinet. When the delivery team shifted the cabinet from its side to right side up, all the metal pegs clattered down the inside of the cabinet. The delivery team did not seem thrilled to have to deal with the poor packaging and placement.

There were three cardboard boxes holding the items from the China cabinet. Upon delivery, the boxes were noticeably crushed and damaged at the seams. One box was broken open completely. Fragile glass items had been inadequately wrapped and the items had too much room to shift in the boxes. Some glass items were left loose inside other glass items, without being wrapped at all. As a result, many items were broken.

The boxes themselves were not labeled as fragile and the delivery team had no idea there were breakable items in the boxes until they heard glass rattling around. Unpacking boxes full of shards of broken glass was unpleasant, to say the least.

They lied about the shipping being door to door, but my furniture was thrown in the port overseas for 3 months until I paid again $3700 which was already paid once. Run run run

They lost my chair that I dropped off a month ago and paid $640 for them to ship. They tried to deliver the wrong item two weeks ago and I continue to call them, I’ve emailed several people, I even filled out the survey from ‘the president of the company’ trying to g to get someone to care: no one ever calls me back, despite being promised every time I call that someone who can help will call that day. I’ve been emailed a couple of times back saying, ‘they are investigating and will get back to me’, and then no one follows up on anyway. I’m desperate to find a phone number or a way to get a hold of someone who will actually call me back or care at all. Also absolutely insulting that after this long they haven’t even offered me a refund, even though they lost my property and failed to provide the service I was charged for. They won’t even give me a tracking number. At this point it is just theft. Shame on them. No one there cares at all either.

Ship Smart has been helpful from the start. They provided an accurate quote, helped me with a payment plan, and guided me through the journey. I felt seen and taken care of. I really appreciate working with Robert Chance. I will use Ship Smart again in the future!

So glad I found Ship Smart to move my brother’s things across the U.S. He had only about 20 file boxes. The fee was very reasonable. Great customer service and the driver who delivered the boxes was fast, efficient, and professional. I would use Ship Smart again!

Price doubled when it came time to actually get my things. They are slow to respond, no tracking, and shipment takes forever.

It should be illegal what they do. Long story short, I was originally quoted $2k for a move, once they had my things at their warehouse they told me it would be $4k, and then once they had all of my stuff packed up, they came back told me it would be $8k. FOUR TIMES THE ORIGINAL QUOTE. They Oh and guess how much it would be for me to come pick up my stuff and not have them ship it? $2k!!! What an absolute scam. I understand the first Requote, but they missed the weight for the second quote by 2k lbs. You’re supposed to be professionals.

This might be the WORST moving experience I have ever had in my life. If I could put zero stars I would. Firstly, they never answered my calls while the shipping was underway. They lied about when they would contact me regarding my move. The move took longer than expected. The company claims that they make moving easier. However, all the company did was increase the number of problems throughout the move. To anyone who chooses to use this service… good luck as you are about to undergo the worst experience of your life.

Exceptionally good customer service and highly professional moving support. This outstanding team worked hard and kept me informed and all for relatively low cost. Great job!

Great customer service. All companies used by ShipSmart did a good job. Great communication throughout the process.

I've paid $13400 for a $5000 to Advance Transport Services delivery to my door. In Apple gift cards as they wouldn't let me do a bank transfer now they are demanding another $3000 . The man 8m sending all this money too is named Stephen Burns. Says he's a manager in Washington. The packages are in Brisbane Australia. I have received 1 invoice for $5000. He refuses to give me any invoices for any other payments I've made. Or my husbands packages . I am a 73 year old pensioner sending him my whole pension every fortnight

From start to finish ShipSmart impressed me with their customer service, whether by phone, text, or in person. I had only one week to move my mother’s possessions from her apartment into a long-term care facility, which meant extreme downsizing. Further complicating matters was that she lives in Canada (Toronto) and I wanted to make sure that some family heirlooms remained in the family and delivered to where I lived in the USA (Tampa). I did stress about how to get them down to the US, as I flew up to Toronto and was without a vehicle while there. The people I interacted with at ShipSmart were so accommodating and helpful, as I am not the most technologically savvy and an international shipment further complicated matters, what with customs declarations, etc. When the shipment arrived to my home, the packing was done with such care; I could tell that much thought went into how best to transport the furniture without inflicting any damage. I am most pleased to have used them and would definitely recommend their company and services.

Friendly, knowledgable, efficient people. Good price on my shipment.

This Company is a joke! Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time and money on this company. The give you an estimate that's way off what they will charge you at the end. The customer service is non existence.

This was the right choice moving 500 books from Arizona to North Carolina for a good price. Everything went very smoothly and all the books arrived safely in our Center. I strongly recommend the company for large or heavy shipments
