Moving
I can't say enough good things about Slava and he did. He contacted me and kept me informed as to all of the procedures and what he would do to make sure the job was done right. He was fast, and was prompt which is important to me. He was courteous and friendly. A pleasure doing business with him.
First Time with Safe Ship
I was able to meet with Rudy and Alejandro with Perfectly Fast Moving Company through Safe Ship. The two were very professional, fast, and communicative. Rudy made sure the keep in contact with me for when they were arriving, arrived on time and within the time frame I suggested. The two did a great job of packing all of my belongings and explaining it all to me very well. I would gladly let them handle my moves for me again in the future. Also, this was my first time using Safe Ship and I absolutely enjoyed my experience with them. Everyone that I encountered was very kind and professional. Safe Ship made my move from TX to CA very simple, easy, and stress free. All for a great price too!

DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE!
Do not use this company for anything, they have a worker named ALEX operating under them who is known for s**ually Harassing women. Has threatened people and has sent out explicit content of women with out their knowledge. The business is aware and does not care. This is a very sick individual who also is known for being a thief. You do not want this man in your home
MOVERS/HOME OWNERS BEWARE! HORRIBLE EXPERIECE!
RE: Move from Scottsdale AZ to SLC UT What a complete nightmare! I was first connected with someone I would call a "slick" salesman who basically told me everything I wanted to hear in order to get my "non refundable" deposit. In my case, it was $1,700 (for a 1,500 sq ft condo). Less than a week before the scheduled pickup, a different sales guy called me to go over the contents of my move "more thoroughly". After going through this (a second time), this new slick salesman said, "just give me a minute and I'll fingure all of that in." I said "figure what in?" He said, "well, you're taking up a lot more space in the truck that what you had originally said. Because of that, it'll be another $1,500, on top of the original $4,000. I was livid! He said that all I could do is either reduce the load or pay the new amount. When I threatened to cancel and use a different service, he said, "you don't want to do that...you'll lose your entire deposit." I WAS STUCK. I reduced the load as much as I could, giving a lot to Good Will, and signed the new amended bill of lading. Days later, the driver from a "3rd party" trucking company called and said he was on his way. They showed up, wrapped my unboxed items/furniture, loaded the truck and left. I told them I would be back in SLC in 2 days just to make sure they wouldn't beat me. They said "oh no, we won't be there yet." He said Safe Ship would let you know when they would arrive." ****WARNING: WHEN THE HIRED THIRD PARTY TRUCKING COMPANY PICKS UP YOUR PERSONAL ITEMS, THEY TAKE IT ALL TO A WAREHOUSE, UNLOAD IT THERE, AND LET IT SIT UNTIL OTHER HOUSEHOLD MOVES MAKE UP A FULL TRUCK LOAD, FOR AN 18 WHEELER...TO MAKE MORE MONEY. WHEN THEY HAVE THEIR FULL TRUCK LOAD, THEY'LL RELOAD ALL OF YOUR POSSESSIONS BACK INTO THIS NEW TRUCK AND LEAVE THE WAREHOUSE. IN MY CASE, THIS WHOLE THING TOOK 2 WEEKS!! After this two weeks, a driver from yet another 3rd party trucking company called me (early Saturday moring) and said that he'd be at my place in 30 minutes (3 hours early). When he got there, another "helper" from still another 3rd party trucking company was waiting to assist with unloading the truck. I really don't want to sound uncaring or insincere but this is an honest review so I will let you know that this other helper easily weighed 400 lbs, was dripping sweat all over my furniture, carpets and rugs, and smelled up my entire house. He broke onE of my entry threasholds and put so much stress on my stairs that I thought they would collapse. I ended up having to restrict him from using the stairs entirely. It was all I could do to get them out of my house and on their way so I helped where I could (piecing together furniture, untaping items, etc.) *****WARNING: IF YOU DON'T PAY "A LOT" FOR THE TRUCKING COMPANY TO PACK YOUR ITEMS, E.G., TV's AND OTHER FRAGILE POSSESSIONS, EVEN IF YOU "SECURLEY" PACK THEM YOURSELF, THEY WILL NOT BE COVERED IF DAMANGED!!!! After they left and I got to unpacking my boxes and found that of the one box (of seven) that was tatooed in marker with FRAGILE! FRAGILE! FRAGILE!, and very well insulated with bubble-wrap and towels, had been dropped, thrown or kicked and all of the contents, including an expensive Navaho vase carrying my mother's ashes, were broken into a million pieces. This was in addition to a couple of expensive vases, glasses and expensive candle holders. It was no use filing a claim as I packed and taped this box myself. BEWARE: ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY WITH THESE GUYS. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL ITEMS. I WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER OFF HIRING A COMPANY TO LOAD IN AZ, AND UNLOAD IN SLC, AND DRIVING THE LOADED RENTED UHAUL TRUCK MYSELF. IF I HAD KNOWN THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW, I WOULD HAVE DON'T THAT IN A HEARTBEAT. I hope this helps. Good luck!

Use another mover!
This company is a bait and switch operation. They hire moving truck companies that will not safely transport your belongings and items end up “missing”. I was horribly overcharged and then offered an amount of compensation that wouldn’t even cover the TV they broke and for this small amount they wanted us to retract the horrible review we gave them. Use another company even if they charge you more. In the end it will be worth it.
Stress free move
Benny and his crew were professional and efficient. He made the experience stress free and handled our items like they were his. I would definitely recommend them for moving in or out of state. Couldn’t be happier as we wait the arrival of our belongings.
Buyer Beware
Buyer Beware! Safe Ship is NOT a moving company - they are a broker. The $4100 "deposit" I paid was not really a deposit for the move. It was the broker fee. I then had to pay for the move (which they got another company to do) on top of the $4100! Save yourself thousands of dollars and be sure to hire an actual moving company. Don't be fooled by all the positive reviews on other sites like I was. As a single parent and a teacher, this was a real financial blow.
Scam
Give a reasonable quote, then 3 days before double it. Then load the truck and add even more even though they agreed on a price before loading. Clear that they are used to doing this to people. Charge a huge deposit so you can't back out. This company is just here to take advantage of people.
They're adept at spamming....
Safe Ship were one of a number of movers we contacted for a quote. We didn't choose them (thank goodness!), yet Jason Bak continues with his automated spam emails despite being told to stop. No unsubscribe either which is a violation of the CANSPAM Act. Use them if you want drama....
Very spastic
Joshua starts by text, mentions he tried to call but didn't, had me call him, starts by trying to be very confident by befriending me but did not listen to what I was asking. Continued to try and over quote what I was asking for, tried to claim how everything cost more and he can give me a great deal, then started to quote numbers of others that were far off but to make it sound like he was going to quote much less, when I told him I only wanted to get a quote and I did not need to be pressured to seal the quote, he hung up on me.
