Great work from this crew! JJ did a great job leading the team and all four movers were professional and hard working. Very pleased. We appreciate the hard work from each crew member!
Every move is bound to come with hiccups and bumps. The team that moved my home was hardworking, overall respectful and very kind. They worked fast and moved like a well oiled machine. Unfortunately we did experience the usual things that come with a move, one piece of broken furniture and some wall dings. The team did their absolute best to fix the furniture, picked it up, reviewed it, and ultimately they decided they did not want to attempt a repair due to the chances it may break again. (it was not the highest quality of material, so this was a totally reasonable answer). When it could not be repaired it was returned back to me, and another solution was found. They immediately sent a team member back out to fix the wall damage, granted the repair wasn’t perfect. However, the team was open and grateful for the feedback and has since provided their team with additional training and they worked with me to find a solution that was fair for both ends! The Customer Service was kind and on point on the phone, and overall I built what I considered a friendship with Miss Tracie. Overall, moving sucks, Fatboy Slims made it easier, and when they showed up on moving day and I had not finished the Master bedroom yet, they were very understanding and started in other rooms to allow me the space and time to work. When problems did arise, the customer service team is trained well and truly valued my input, my experience, and were quick to find a resolution. Thank you!
Fantastic moving service! Shout out to Quinn, JJ, and DeAndre for their hard work, professionalism, and positive attitudes. They handled everything with incredible care and respect from loading up to the final drop-off. Zero damage, zero stress. Highly recommend this team to anyone needing a reliable move!
Definitely 5 star service! My movers were so nice, efficient, and quick. And the quote I received at booking was spot on, so no surprise charges or anything! I would definitely recommend, and I’ll for sure be using them in the future when moving.
JJ and his team of Tryrik and Jesse were incredible. We will use them next time we move!
The estimate provided was accurate, and the guys who helped us move were super professional! Dustin, Marcos, and Mario were great to work with! I’d recommend them any time! Thank you guys for helping us move and relieve our stress!
10/10! Would definitely use again. I had the pleasure of having my stuff moved by Dre and Montinique. Great guys, super friendly and helpful, all around awesome experience. Keep up the good work guys and thank you SO much!!! 🙂
We used FBS moving about 5 years ago. Terrible experience, damaged items, promises broken. Recently they went under new management and reached out about my previous poor review. Long story short, they offered to make it right. They went above and beyond and not only have I now taken down my bad review, but they now get 5 stars for the effort to make it right. New management new attitude great service.
This company took advantage of me, they took days to do my move and didn’t follow through on things they promised in the quote. They were rude and condescending while moving my items and broke a lamp and a few more things. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY don’t believe the reviews. My initial quote was 1400 and it ended up being 2600. Not okay at all.
This moving company did a great job. The three guys were very polite and considerate. They worked hard and had us moved in no time at all. I would highly recommend using this company.
These guys are absolutely incredible! They gave me an accurate estimate with zero hidden fees or surprises at the end. The crew communicated, worked fast, and stayed completely professional and polite throughout the whole day. Moving from the mountains down to the Front Range is no easy drive, but they handled the tight switchbacks and heavy lifting look easy. If you want a stress-free move with a team that actually keeps their word, hire them immediately!
The process was a little wonky because of my divorce and having to do a partial move. Trying to figure out exactly what needed to go along with the amount of boxes( I thought that on the quote 30 boxes meant boxes they were bring not already packed) So a bit of confusion by the need so quickly and just agreeing to anything I understand that they literally went above and beyond to work with me. The movers two gentlemen were amazing especially when trying to work with my ex who literally would not talk to them and went to his room to sleep while I got keys. But there packing above all the problems never once made me feel bad. I recommend this company they really for a brief moment make you feel as if you are family and treated my stuff the same.
My “crew” was incredible. Very cautious with my belongings. Very respectful and sweet! They took super good care of me!
Adrian and Mark were awesome. By far the best movers we have used in multiple states. They wrapped everything really well so it would t get damaged on the trip and would stay protected in storage. They were really nice guys, and communicated really well. Plus, the price was about $300 less than other quotes for movers who bring their own truck and wrap furniture for you.
Great team, fun and gets the jjob done. Thank you! Will hire again. 4 bedroom, 2 bath home with stairs! Couldn’t of asked for a better move!
It was a pleasure to work with Fatboy Slims. They were pleasant, polite and proffessional from the first phone call to the last trip up with the last box. They wrapped and covered everything, there was no damage and they left no mess behind. I would use them again in a heartbeat and highly recomnend them for anyone moving.
I was given a 2:00–3:00 PM arrival window, but the movers didn’t arrive until approximately 6:15 PM. As a result, my move wasn’t completed until around 10:30 PM. I understand that delays happen, but a delay of over four hours without proactive communication is unacceptable. I had to call the office multiple times throughout the afternoon just to get updates, and had I not reached out, I’m not sure anyone would have contacted me. The movers themselves were hardworking and professional once they arrived, and I don’t blame them for the situation. My frustration is with the company’s scheduling and communication. The driver even mentioned that he had concerns about having enough time to complete both scheduled jobs, which suggests the scheduling issues were known. Despite the significant inconvenience and the fact that I had taken time off work, the only resolution offered was a $75 discount. More disappointing than the discount was the lack of accountability or acknowledgment of how poorly the situation was handled. I expected much better communication and customer service. Delays may be unavoidable, but how a company handles them makes all the difference, and unfortunately this experience fell well short of expectations.
The team was friendly and professional. They did a wonderful job on organizing the items for our pods. They are the experts! Customer service was above and beyond!
We used Fatboy Slims for our move this past weekend and everything went so easy. The coordinators were very helpful and thorough in getting things scheduled appropriately. Dustin and Trey were our move team and they worked nonstop to get the move done. They both were incredibly nice and took great care of our belongings. Would recommend!
Great experience! 3 hard-working, professional guys! All were Friendly, funny, efficient. Communication was awesome. Never a question about times, fees or anything! All our expectations were met. Nothing harmed and everything in the rooms marked on boxes. Would recommend them again and again! Reasonable with no surprise fees. All our belongings were handled with care.
I highly recommend Fatboy Slim‘s moving company. We used them when we first moved to Colorado and we just bought a new house and we used them again. The teams work hard, they’re fun to be around, and it’s the only option to think of when you’re moving.
Dustin and Monty kicked butt! They were very respectful to me, my furniture, and each other. They worked 💪! Definitely want them to move my stuff from storage to new house. Thought I wouldn’t have enough room, but they made it happen. 7/30/26 Used them again and they still did an outstanding job. Hope ai never move again, but if I do, I will call them.
They helped us with our initial move and then when I got tired of moving boxes out of storage! Very prompt, very professional, and VERY helpful! I will recommend to anyone that needs moving help!
The movers were lovely people and great to work with. The move ended up costing much more what was quoted for a 2 bedroom apartment. HOWEVER, costumer service provided a lovely experience and was able to work with me. Make sure to provide notice about inventory changes!
I just want to commend both of the gentlemen who helped me to move. It was such a stressful day but they handled all of my items well and got the job done, regardless ofy hassling neighbor.
Dustin and his crew took very special care of our furniture while being efficient, courteous and friendly. The reservation process was also very easy and all costs were reviewed. The cost of the move was exactly what they estimated, something that it really appreciated.
Dustin and Giovanni did such an excellent job. Both extremely friendly and easy to work with. They went absolutely above and beyond today with the help I need which was much appreciated. Highly recommended both them and Fatboy Slims Moving Company to anyone looking for some extra help with moving. Thanks again guys!
With less than a week notice, their team did an excellent job moving some very expensive furniture from one home to another as well as removing a ton of junk from the home I moved into. I would certainly recommend them. There wasn’t a scratch on a single item, nor on any walls, railings, floors, etc. Everything was professionally wrapped, the gents were friendly and fun throughout the process and just seemed happy overall despite the physical work their profession represents. Like many, I’ve had lots of average (and worse) experiences with moves over the years and this was by far the best. I’ll use them again no question.
We finished an interstate move yesterday with Fatboy Slims and pass along our thanks and highest compliments to JJ, AJ, Adrian, Montrale, Quinn, and Tyric. They were extremely hard working (even in 100-degree heat), professional, courteous (lots of yes sir’s), and personable. This was a hard move, but they made it easy…thanks to all from management to the 6-man moving crew.
Dustin, Robert, Rashon did an EXCELLENT job in moving me to my new home I plan on using Fatboy slims to move my daughter. If you’re planning on moving, I strongly, recommend you consider Fatboy Slims
Amazing experience. The guys made sure everything was protected and worked until the job was done. Even putting the furniture back together. Would definitely use them again
Terrible customer service. They moved in my new neighbor. When their truck left about 11 PM, they drove their truck through my yard and their employees picked up a small boulder in my yard and moved it so they could “better” drive through my yard. I spoke to the employees at the time and asked them NOT to drive through my yard. They said they would not, then proceeded to do so (ran through a bush, over drip irrigation, landscape rock, landscape mulch, edging). After repeated phone calls to get them to come back to fix what they had damaged, I gave up. I had someone else fix what they messed up. I bet Far Boy slim is fat.
Tirik and Adrian did a fantastic job of wrapping the furniture and moving our belongings. I would 100% recommend Fatboy Slims Moving. From beginning to end the communication was great.
Used Fatboy Slims for a 7.5-hour move that had a few different stops (house, storage unit, and final spot). They showed up on time, finished right within the quoted window, and everyone was super polite and nice to work with. Mark, Andrew, and Alfonzo pushed themselves through extreme heat to fill up two trucks for us! They were all incredibly attentive and professional. Highly recommend this company and these gentlemen.
The team was fantastic! On time, took care with our belongings and just great attitudes all around. Would definitely use them again!
Fatboy Slims Moving Co did a wonderful job with our move. They were on time, worked very hard, wrapped needed furniture, and were a pleasure. They worked non-stop for 8 hours. Thank you for making this move less stressful
Ishmael, Bobby, and Adrian were amazing! They were very careful and deliberate with the packing, loading, and unloading. They were all very professional, polite, and considerate of my belongings and my house. They took the time to make sure everything was where I wanted it to be. Will definitely be hiring them again!
UPDATE: Mike had a couple of guys go get everything on Sunday. He made it right for me. Thank you. Did a virtual walk through but when I got the call to go over a couple days before many things were left off. I did a phone walk through with Tracy and thought things were corrected. Three people came and packed what I didn’t have packed. When they said they were done unloading I asked about my clothes. The older gentleman said he didn’t know I wanted my clothes moved. REALLY? I called the next day and spoke with logistics and they said someone would meet me Thursday about 3. I received a call from the older gentleman and he informed me it would be an hour and a half before he could get there. It was rescheduled to Saturday about 4. I get a call about 11:30 and was asked to meet them in 30 minutes. And so the story goes on and on. I was sick and my family was going to meet them but couldn’t until the original time. There appears to be a BIG COMMUNICATION problem within the company. 1st, when a person moves to a new place you want all your belongings unless you specify otherwise. Horrible experience!
I set up a move for a friend and they where so professional I would use them again thank you
The movers were professional, fast and did not stop until the job was done. They shrink wrapped padded and shrink wrapped again my furniture. They took excellent care of my belongings, and I cannot recommend them enough. I have never before had a good experience with a Mover. That’s why I am writing this review so you can finally have a good experience with a mover.
The crew we had for our move did an excellent job and definitely would recommend them.
We are so pleased with JJ & Mikey”s work moving my mother to a new home!! They arrived on time, reviewed the work to be done, then efficiently prepared the furniture and got the work done!!! They were polite, quick, and careful! Thanks a lot.
I’ll be recommending anyone who needs movers to use these guys! Carlos and Jackson drove all the way from Fort Collins to help me out. They were incredibly professional and kind and really put me at ease throughout the whole process. As a first time mover, they made things so straightforward for me. The team handling phone calls and logistics were also incredibly nice and I can’t thank the whole team enough for making this day stress free!
