2008-06-30 13:49: The best movers I've ever dealt with. I've gone through 8 moves and this was the smoothest experience ever. The guys were great, fast, and took care of everything as if it was their own. It took them only 2 hours to unload a completely full 26' truck which took over 5 hours to load. I've already recommended them to several of my friends who have upcoming moves of their own. I honestly can't say enough good things about them. — lost1

2008-11-17 20:07:24   The two men that helped me were very friendly. They loaded my truck fast, while making sure that nothing was damaged. One of the guys even used his own personal dolly when I didn't have one. I would definitely recommend using this company. It makes moving so much less stressful and saves your back. Don't forget to tip them! They deserve it. —Shannon.F

2010-09-29 00:23:31   I had The Graduate Movers of Davis move me twice. Kevin & Leroy did a good job & I paid them a hefty tip. I have sent numerous requests to Taylor & asked Kevin & Leroy for receipts. Kevin & Leroy said they don't provide receipts. Taylor told me over the phone he'd send them to me, but hasn't nor has he responded to emails about this. I need to get reimbursed and can't without a receipt. I'm resorting to posting here in the hopes that maybe I'll get a response. I would not recommend this company because getting a receipt is important. —DavisCitzen

One of the two movers actually knew what he was doing, but the other appeared to have near zero experience, and was not strong enough to lift my desk (I had to help; I note that I have moved this desk in the past with only one friend without issue). While the owner mentioned over the phone that they did not accept checks, the movers said we could pay with a check. After paying with a check we got a call from the owner and had to meet him downtown to pay in cash. —MaunderingGadabout

2011-08-15 11:43:27   Just a quick note - I called to talk about rates, booking schedule, etc. and learned that The Graduate Movers of Davis do NOT claim ANY liability for damage to goods that they handle for you. California law holds movers liable for up to $0.60 per pound of damaged goods. TGMD claims that since they are only loading and unloading, not "transporting" your items, they are not accountable under that law. FYI. Compare to other local movers who do hold themselves accountable under this law... —ESparrow

2012-05-17 12:31:50   Taylor and his "Number 1" came with a too-small truck, NO tools, insufficient padding (they used OUR bedding as padding and now it's stained), NO furniture dolly, took FIVE HOURS just to load their rented U-Haul AND my pick-up truck to the brims. They arrived at our old house at 10am, left for our new house at 3pm.

They scratched the hardwood floors at our new house, and they damaged our furniture. There are large scratches on our wooden bed headboard that we purchased recently. They worked for 10 HOURS total and left our old house FULL of stuff (after being told that that they were to take EVERYTHING they saw except artwork and electronics). My wife had to take a day off work to finish their job—she and my dad loaded 3 more pick-up truck loads and 3 more carloads of stuff and still the electronics remained.

Taylor, owner of Graduate Movers charged me $1100. No receipt. No warranties. When I complained about my discontent with the job, Taylor "kindly" waived the $100 "gratuity" he tacked on for himself. What kind of business OWNER, who just took us for $1000 tips himself??

6 months ago, we moved and hired Starving Students. They finished the job in 5 hours, were fast, professional, had all the right equipment. Their truck was big enough (we had all the same stuff we had this time around, if not more). They charged us $750. Our old house was completely empty when they finished the job, our furniture was NOT damaged, our wood floors were NOT damaged. I REGRET not hiring them again after the shotty job we received from Graduate Movers.

DO NOT hire Graduate Movers. They are a rip off. —AlanaG
