  I needed a mover and contacted Swift ******************************** I paid them a deposit after they requested all furniture that will be picked up and delivered to the new address. I was contacted by them to make any final adjustments to the list which we did and then paid them the additional price difference. We were schedule for pick up on 27 or 28 of May. I complained to them on the 27th for not picking up. I was not nice because they didnt want to hear what I had to say. On the 28th the movers *********************************** was to be at my house between 11 and 3. No show and no call received I called Swift Shift they said they are running late. The movers showed at 8:30 PM. I showed them everything that was on the list. The leader or boss explained that I need to sign a contract with them and it would cost an additional 8k! I told them I have a contract with Swift Shift for approx 4K. At that time of night I was unable to contact Swift Shift and proceeded to have a credit card payment disputed since they did not remove the furniture by 28th as agreed upon. I refused to pay 8k for such a small amount of furniture, because my wife and I boxed and put 99% of our belongings in two PODS. I calledSwift Shift the next day and explain and ***** the *** said that could happen. I said no it cant cause each item is listed and who ever they hired did not have an itemized list! So, I told ***** they broke the contract. Note; I paid another mover $2400 . 00 the next day for the same items and move. Im glad I didnt give into the scam with swift ************************************************* and Reliable! Currently Swift Shift owes me my initial payment they received by check since they provided no service to me other than BS.

  We do apologize about your experience. Our contract does state that the price is subject to changes based on any additional services required. Refusal of services at the time of pick up will forfeit the deposit.

  I am rejecting this response because: Additional fees commit is a scam. Reliable Van lines wanted to charge $8,000.00 on a separate contract! The original items listed with Swift Shift did not change! I did not cancel the services with Reliable, they tried to change the agreement / contract I made with Swift  they used emotional pressure at 8:30 at night knowing the items must be out of the house the next day!  Lets also recall they did not show as scheduled  FYI I had a moving company come in the next day picked up furniture and delivered to the Delaware address  for $2,400.00. Reliable and Swift are scammers and tried to price ***** .

  Sales person lied and told me I could pay for all the moving services with a credit card. Now dispatch says only the deposit and pickup can be paid with a credit card. Delivery must be paid cash, certified check. The sales *** lied to me to get the moving transaction. All I have is a credit card. I had to cancel everything and they wont refund my deposit.

  Business Response

  Our team was very clear in the terms of payment and form we accept. Customer signed contracts which state specific form of payments required. Customer booked 5/24 to move 5/27-5/28, our movers arrived 5/27 customer sent them away and refused services while using extremely derogatory words to our representatives.  The deposit is non refundable based on refusal of services.

  They are completely lying about what was explained to me. The sales person specifically told me I could use a credit card for the move. Not just the deposit and pick up. The drop off too. I told him all I had a credit card. He said no problem the drivers take credit card all the time. They then charged the deposit onto the credit card. Then, I receive an email stating that the drop off has to be paid in cash. Again, this is NOT what the sales person told me. Classic bait and switch by a moving company.

  The salesman at swift verbally promised/guaranteed the following:- fixed rate - on time delivery - more than enough space for all items quoted On the day of the actually pick up two huge tattooed men in metered my home and told me not only did they not have enough space for all the items I had already logged in the inventory but they charged me upward of $4000 to load it all! This is in addition to the original quote of $5k+ They broke furniture and I had to leave furniture behind. I was out $4k that I didnt budget for and I was terrified to say no because I was alone with my two children. I also had given notice to my landlord so I felt forced by the company to have no other option but pay extra. It then took them over a month from collection to delivery when I was told AND GUARANTEED by the salesman that it would arrive on time. They also repeatedly mistreated me and belittled me when I phoned to track my stuff and asked why it was so late. They said salesman have nothing to do with us repeatedly. All in all this has caused major damages as my husband has equipment on that truck and while the contract says estimate regarding dates and amounts we were I believe intentionally misled in order to secure a sale.

  Business Response

  Date: 05/16/2025

  WE do apologize about your experience. We were never made aware of any issues at the pick up location. Your contract is not guaranteed, it is estimated, as well as the delivery is not guarantee and our contract states that as well. 

   

  We spoke to the customer numerous times in regards to the delivery issues she was having, the items were going 2300 miles per DOT the movers have 21 business days to deliver from the earliest available date the customer provides.

  ****** ******

  Customer Answer

  Date: 05/17/2025

  1. The salesman pitched a fixed rate to us that would not change and assured that the rate we agreed to on the phone would remain fixed. 
  

  2. the salesman GUARANTEED the arrival date and when I contacted him to ask if I needed to move the date up to ensure arrival he said it wasnt necessary. This prevented us from ensuring we had our business materials for operations as it was on the truck and we didnt feel necessary to keep it off due to the salesmans assurances and guarantees. 
  

  3. I feel we were INTENTIONALLY MISLED AND DECEIVED by the salesman.
  

  4. The truck send to our house for pick up was too small for all the items we listed on the telephonic inventory. This means we left sentimental and important furniture behind simply because the company mistakenly underestimated the load. This was not a mistake on our part as we made sure to inform them of all items and even asked the salesman are you sure it will all fit ? Oh yeah absolutely dont worry was the response. 

  5. Even after doing a telephone inventory and them charging us more to cover additional items the movers came and charged us ANOTHER additional cost of $4000+. That is not something we had budgeted for and we felt bullied into that final large cost because the company underestimated the load in spite of our communication regarding items. 
  

  $4000 for a young family is a LOT of money. 
  

  I was alone with my two young children and had no alternative solutions BUT to pay them or they wouldnt take my load. 
  

  this felt like a shakedown because I had no option in the situation as I had given notice and all my stuff was ready for removal. 
  

  we took a huge financial loss because of the movers poor planning and bad inventory preparation.
  

  6. I was treated with so much disrespect every time I contacted swift or the moving company. For over 3 weeks I was told its leaving this week with certainty and I feel I was lied to once again to placate me. This concerned me greatly as we made plans according to their communications and disrupted our lives in a major way. 
  

  7. When the truck finally left and I was told 3 times it would take them 4-6 days to get to me I called on day 6 and they said oh its just an estimate it seems that hiding behind the word estimate has led Swift to intentionally mislead clients in order to make sales. They contradicted every single communication that had with us. 
  

  8. And finally. Upon delivery they sent 1 man to offload our items. This included beds, dining tables and couches to name a few. My husband had to help offload. We were told we would not be needed and they wouldnt reassemble everything. They refused to reassemble our childrens bed and said because of liability and injury ? We were told everything would be reassembled. 
  

  all in all this was the worst and most stress experience in addition to the general stress of moving. We slept on blow up mattresses for over a month with our 2 children. 
  

  im simply not letting it go. This is wrong. Doing this to families is wrong and they need to be discouraged from misleading others. 

  Business Response

  Date: 05/19/2025

  1. The contract states that this is not guaranteed, and the price is subject to change. 

  2. The contract also states that we do not guarantee delivery dates, it is clear that they are requested and  the movers will do everything they can do accommodate your requests, but they also have a timeframe for delivery. 

  3. All points are clear in our contract of what services we provide and what prices can change.

  4. You were sent a 26 ft truck as you only had 979 cubic feet allocated with our company, if you used more space than charges are accurate. 

  5. Our team was never contacted on the day of the move with any concerns or questions, we could have been a huge help on the day of the move. 

  6. Customer was never met with disrespect from our company, we provided information everytime we spoke to her between 4/8-4/28, but again we were not made aware of any of these issues at pick up. 

  7. The items are going over 2200 miles the movers have 21 business days to deliver the items that is per DOT, again our contract does not guarantee any delivery dates. 

   

  8. we do apologize about this we can reach out to the carrier and see if they are willing to compensate for the issues on delivery end and we can send you claims information for any possible damages.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  i did not log the cubit feet. Your sales team did and the shortfall of $4000 worth of items is too large of a discrepancy to blame that shortfall on me  

   

  he undercharged knowing it would be over and then I was stuck with a higher bill  

   

  I will take this further if I need to because I suspect Im not the only person this has happened to  

   

  you dont dictate or decide whether I was respected or not by your company - I was 
  

  and dishonestly getting a client to sign and then overemphasising what was UNDERemphasised during the sale or not even mentioned is despicable 

  Sincerely,
  
  ****** ******

  Business Response

  Date: 05/20/2025

  Our system estimates the space, again the contract also states the price is subject to change if the items use more space or if there are more items than what was told to our company. The carrier team has let us know they have reimbursed or plan to reimburse for items not being put back together on delivery.

  Complaint: 23334598
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  The salesman intentionally deceived us. He contradicted everything the contract says.
  

  We contacted him on the day of pick up to tell him this was not the agreed upon amount payable annd to clarify why the estimate he provided was so far under and that we were not happy with a huge additional bill and he ignored us.
  

  we then contacted him once we knew the moving company only STARTS counting day of delivery FROM the delivery date we provided (which he guaranteed) and he ignored us.
  

  prior to this he had told us to contact him at ANY TIME and he would assist.  
  
  10lb plates have not arrived with our things. They are missing from a box 

  we were blatantly deceived and want reimbursement for said deception.

  It is clear that our complaint is similar to the numerous complaints that have already been filed about this business mis***resenting its initial estimate contract and misleading customers on behalf of both the sales personnel and customer service **************************************************************************************** is fraudulent and unprofessional with lack of managerial or supervisory personnel. When we voiced concerns about our initial estimate, we were denied the right to speak with a manager or supervisor. We were berated by both customer support staff and the manager ****** who would not state her role or title claiming I am whoever you want me to be and you will not speak to anybody higher up than me. She even mis***resented herself claiming to be the CEO of the company.*** ***** was our sales *** who provided the initial estimate. We were told to provide an estimated inventory list months prior to moving. We were told that we would be charged based off of any additional space needed if our inventory did not fit within a 20 foot pick up truck. However, our initial contract was for 564 ft. which would be equivalent to a 10 foot truck.We were ***eatedly told that any additional items added on move-in day would not change the price as long as they did not require additional space. We occupied less than 17 feet of the ************************************************************************* additional charges due to tagging of inventory.The company seems to lack the intellectual capacity to understand that items can occupy a different amount of volume. For example, we were charged more for ***lacing a sectional couch and adding kids toys which occupied less space. (100 items of one cubic foot is more expensive than five items of 20 ft. due to the way they tag inventory).We were told ***eatedly that this would not be the case when providing our initial and updated inventory list and that we would only be charged for any additional space occupied which was clearly intentional.

  Business Response

  We have spoken to this customer via email and over the phone and have explained in detail the charges and how the contract works. The customer moved over 170 items which was more than double the list that they provided to our company, that is why the price increased.

  Complaint: 23333787
  
  I am rejecting this response because: 

  This was clearly intentionally misleading on part of both the sales representative and customer support. We asked multiple times for clarification on our itemized inventory for our initial estimate prior to our pickup day and provided an updated inventory list. We were reassured each time that we would not incur any additional charges for any additional items as long as they did not occupy more space. We were told that our current inventory would occupy a little less than a 20 foot truck. We filled less than 17 feet. However, we were charged double based off of each item tagged not based off of volume occupied. For example, we got rid of a couch and added kids toys and were charged more because it was more items although they occupied less space.

  We were told time and time again that unless we were to add something huge like a Grand piano on pickup day our price would not change. This was intentionally misleading (as it seems has happened numerous times in the past reviewing other complaints). They lowball the initial estimate (tell you the cubic feet quoted is more space than it actually isi.e. 564 cf is equivalent to a 10 truck, which in reality is half of what we were assured our inventory would occupy) then give you a good price and simply apply additional charges (in our case more than double) based on whether you go over on space or on the number of items on the itemized inventory.

  This is fraudulent, predatory, and intentionally deceitful as we were reassured by multiple staff members that it did not need to be an exact itemized inventory as it was only an initial estimate and we would not incur additional charges for additional items as long as they did not occupy more space (which we didnt). Had we been told this prior, we would have ensured we did not have more items than on our initial inventory. This was clear misrepresentation of the contract as it was explained to us in terms that were false, and we were reassured again and again by staff that this would not happen.

  Additionally, the customer support staff has responded to our concerns in a manner that is not only unprofessional but outright disrespectful and rude. They have no credentials or clear roles/titles and lack the intellectual capacity to understand and validate concerns but rather gaslight paying customers into thinking they have no manager/supervisor available and claim that the contract was clear although it was intentionally misrepresented and explained falsely prior to signing.

  This company not only conducts bad business, it is an outright scam. Clearly this is why they have had so many similar complaints and have had to change their name due to acquiring such a poor reputation We will be telling everyone we know to stay clear of this company and intend to sue them for misrepresentation of their contract causing significant financial losses.

  To be clear, the customer signed a contract where it clearly states that any extra items or space used in the moving truck will incur additional costs. The movers charged the customer accordingly. 

  Customer Answer

  Date: 05/20/2025

   
  Complaint: 23333787
  
  I am rejecting this response because: To be clear, the contract was signed under false pretenses. We were told we would not be charged for additional items, ONLY additional space that exceeded 20ft (which we did not require). 

  The written contact is intentionally different than what is verbalized to customers prior to signing. This is deceitful, predatory, and clear misrepresentation of the contract. 

  We were also told that someone would be updating us throughout the process, but surprise, this was also a LIE that we were told prior to signing. Our items were picked up on 5/13/25 and it is 5/20/25 and we have not received a single update from Swift Shift or the movers, despite calling multiple times. 

  Here is a description from an attorney on a contract being void: A contract may be void or voidable if one party lies or misrepresents facts to induce the other party to sign. This is called fraudulent misrepresentation and it undermines the validity of the contract. 

  Here's why lying can invalidate a contract:
  Lack of Genuine Consent: A valid contract requires the free and informed consent of all parties. If one party is misled or deceived, their consent isn't genuine, and the contract may be challenged.
  Fraudulent Misrepresentation: When someone makes a false statement to persuade another party to enter a contract, it's considered fraudulent misrepresentation.
  Voidable or Void: A contract obtained through fraudulent misrepresentation may be voidable by the innocent party. This means they have the option to either cancel the contract or proceed with it. In some cases, where the fraud is particularly egregious, the contract may be considered void, meaning it is invalid from the beginning. 

  We have been lied to EVERY conversation prior to signing and then have been gaslighted by customer service representatives since. We have still not been contacted by a supervisor even though we have requested multiple times via email and phone call. 

  Again, we have phone call conversations and text/email with *** ***** prior to singing and after singing that contain this fraudulent information. Swift ************************************************* is a scam and need to be held responsible for their continuous dishonest and sketchy business practice as seen demonstrated by the 48 other complaints on this site filed this year stating the same facts.

  I am filing a formal complaint against Swift ************************************************* regarding my interstate move from ************, **, to ************, **. The experience was marked by deception, coercion, and gross negligence, resulting in financial loss and extreme emotional distress.On February 13, 2025, I was quoted $2,890.84 for 381 cubic feet of belongings, with a $1,578 deposit. Pickup was scheduled for April 11 and delivery by April 17. Despite scheduling a final inventory call, the representative rushed through it and assured me changes would be minor.On moving day, the movers arrived late and, without measuring my items, demanded an additional $1,619.50claiming I had 850 cubic feet, more than double the estimate. I was given no documentation or breakdown. When I questioned the charge, the ******* became aggressive, refused card payment, and threatened to leave unless I signed a new contract on the spot. I was pressured into signing under ********* carefully documented inventory totals approximately 552 cubic feetnowhere near the claimed 850. Delivery was delayed by nearly two weeks without notice. I had no bed or furniture during that time. When my belongings finally arrived, they were in a different truck. I was forced to rent a U-Haul to transport them myself. Several items were broken, and others were falsely marked as damaged.I respectfully request a full investigation, a refund of the unjust charges (approximately $690.55), and accountability for these coercive and deceptive practices.I have detailed records, photos, and documentation to support this complaint and am prepared to provide them upon request.Sincerely,******** ******

  Scam. Hidden fees. Broken belongings. Threats. Legal action pending.Our moving experience with Swift ************************************************* and *************** ********* has been nothing short of exploitative and dishonest.We were quoted $3,000 by ****** ******* of Swift Shift, with written confirmation that our items would be delivered to two separate addresses. We were never told that the move would be handed off to a completely different company*************** **********When the movers arrived, we were ambushed with a new total of $6,500, more than double the original quote. We were then told *** have to pay an additional $1,044 shuttle fee in cash, or they would hold our belongings hostage. This fee was buried in the fine print, never discussed, and cleverly disguised in vague terms.- Everything arrived damaged if it arrived, and we are missing six totes. In addition, our stuff was clearly gone through and repacked resulting and missing items and electronics.- Our two $3,000+ Sleep Number beds arrived scuffed and dirty - Our $3,000 leather couch was thrown on the ground, with only two working legs - They refused to deliver to the second location, despite this being clearly listed in our signed contract. Despite the paperwork confirming our request, ***** blatantly denied it, instructing the driver to ignore what was agreed upon in writing.Companies Involved:Swift ************************************************* ?? ************** ?? *********************************************************************************** ************************************************************************* *************** ********* ?? ***************************************** ?? ************** (Disconnected or blocked)?? ******************** ?? ***** (Owner refuses to provide last name)This is a textbook bait-and-switch, with hidden fees, contract violations, property damage, and complete lack of accountability.

  I am rejecting this response because my husband was tricked into checking a box that declined the value of the goods resulting in maximum $300 in insurance. In addition, he was tricked into an additional fee where we had to sell a third payment to a marketing company before they would take our items off the truck. None of the this nor the paperwork BOL states this..

  Our paperwork states that on delivery payment is due PRIOR to unloading the items. Our insurance section is also clear in terms of amounts of coverage.

  I signed and contract and put down a deposit for my cross country move with shift ************************************************** I contacted them about a month ago regarding my move and amount of space I was quoted. They would not let me talk to a quality assurance representative until one week before my move. This gave me concern because based on information given to them and amount of space quoted on my contract, I was not going to have enough room for my items. I scheduled a date with quality assurance representative anyways. In the meantime I filed a fraud complaint with my bank because I did not feel comfortable with this company. Swift shift then removed my contract and claimed I cancelled my reservation, which I did not. They are refusing to refund my money even though they cancelled my reservation.

  Customer booked her move in January of this year, to be moved in May. Customer verbally cancelled her move on 04/17/2025 with our representatives , and then proceeded to dispute the deposit. The deposit is non refundable and the customer cancelled the move which is why the file was cancelled.

  I am rejecting this response because:

   

  I did not cancel my order and I as never informed that it was cancelled until I followed up with them regarding my move. As Swift shift policy states they require a cancellation notice in writing, which I never submitted. They have responded to many BBB complaints requiring cancellation in writing and denying refunds. I did not cancel my move therefore they are in default of the contract and are required to refund my money.

  Customer verbally cancelled her move with our company and stated she was disputing the deposit on 04/17/2025. 5 days later we received a dispute attempt by the customer. Why would the customer dispute her deposit if she did not cancel the move?

  I am rejecting this response because:

  I never verbally cancelled my move and had even scheduled a date to speak with a quality assurance agent. I was having concerns with the information I was receiving from this moving company especially with the amount of space they had allotted for me. Based on the amount of items I told them I would be transporting, the space was very minimal and was never going to hold all my items. I contacted my bank to have them research and request a refund due to the company not allowing me to talk to anyone about my move. I was not comfortable waiting until 1 week before. I felt this company was trying to rip me off and was pretty much told they would recalculate my move expense right before my move and I would be responsible for the extra amount they were going to be charge. Again, this is a cross country move and I was not comfortable or confident with this moving company and there scam tactics. I did not cancel my move date and as I have already stated, per this company policy they require cancellation in writing. I would request that they show proof of this cancellation in writing or at the very least, provide a recording of the cancellation as they are stating. They are making fraudulent claims in order to keep my deposit and not provide me with moving services.

  SWIFT ************************************************* took advantage of a 91 year old with dementia. They took a $1,254 deposit to move him from an assisted living facility in ************ back to his home in *******. When I explained to them that he cannot go back to ******* to live on his own, I was advised by ***** that the 91 year old man was told the deposit was non-refundable and then she hung up on me. What kind of business do they run!!

  We do apologize about this, we spoke to a customer that signed the contract electronically on their own and agreed to terms and conditions, customer made a payment out to our company, this was nothing that was forced. WE are not aware of any health issues or disabilities customers may have when booking. We spoke to numerous people from this family that berated our phone lines for hours.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  ***** ******* did not sign anything electronically.  He was not informed of the cancellation policy.  There is nowhere on their website that details the cancellation policy.  He called and made a reservation for their services om March 19 and then called back on March 20 to cancel.  

  I called on April 17 to see why he hadn't yet received his deposit back and was informed by ***** that it was non-refundable.  My response was 'That's crazy' and without another word, ***** **** up on me.  I tried several times to call back and she wouldn't answer.  ******* grandaughter called on April 18, stated who she was and why she was calling, and ***** immediately hung up on her.  She called back again and someone answered the phone stating it was a pizza parlor.  

  I don't know how they stay in business with the way they treat people.  They have so many bad reviews, who other than a diminished mental capacity person would even consider using them for anything.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  In their first response they stated that they had an electronic signature agreeing to their terms.  Now the second response says they have a verbal confirmation on a recorded line.  Which is it?  I'd like proof of this recorded confirmation.  They don't have it. 

  He never received any contract with the terms or the cancellation policy.  ************ is shady and so very untruthful with everything they say.  Their responses start with 'we apologize'.  Funny that when I called and then his granddaughter called the next day, we didn't get 'we apologize', instead we were hung up on.  So unprofessional for a business.

  We contracted them to initially move us and then they continued to raise fees which was concerning to us. Then they contracted for the wrong days and the movers were on their way to move us which was 6 weeks before our date that of our move at this point we did not feel safe using them and asked for a reimbursement and they could keep the initial deposit and they refused.Initial check $3.259 and then they called back and said it would be $2.000 more apart from paying the movers as well $1.365 on arrival and $1.365 on delivery we felt they were just scamming us at this because they told us if they loaded our stuff and we were over the weight we would be charged more so how would we know this was accurate we are not with movers when they go through scale. Thank you for your help ******* ******

  We do apologize but this is NOT what occurred. Customer booked a move with us for specific dates and signed off on it, at a later date made changes to the inventory list and increased the space which in turn increased the cost. WE do NOT charge by weight he was NEVER told this information. Customer cancelled way outside of the 48 hour cancellation policy which forfeits his deposit.

  I am filing this complaint in behalf of my veteran father. We submitted online for a quote for cross country movers. *** ***** from Swift ************************************************* gave us a quote it was fair and reasonable in lines of others. We signed the contract with pick up being April 12th-13th. Nothing has been picked up, the only communication has been with *** on Saturday the 12th stating movers would be there Sunday between 1:00-3:00pm. And would let us know an hour before arrival. No one showed, no one called. I have made several attempts to contact ***, ***** and the general line and email for the company to no avail. My father gave a deposit and now has been scammed. I have the emails, the texts and communications to prove this. This company is has some very unethical business practices and took advantage my veteran father. I would like him refunded the deposit immediately.

  Now they are trying to charge an extra $600 to pick up on a different date after telling me they were delayed in the area and then calling my father and telling him it was due to mechanical issues. This company is a scam!

  We do apologize, being in the transport industry, delays do happen due to numerous reasons. We have spoken with the main customer on file, and assured him that we had the truck available and have since resolved  this issue.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  While you are rescheduled you are also now charging him an extra $600 for an error on your part. If communication has been good from the beginning we would have understood but to charge him another $600 due to your salesman doing something I was told he should not have done my father who is on a fixed income as is shouldnt have to pay for your companies mistake. He couldnt cancel because you guys said he would not be refunded his initial deposit and he cant afford to be out $1224.00

  We did not charge the customer an extra $600 due to our mistake, the original carrier reserved was severely delayed in the area and in order to reserve another truck and crew that was the cost for that team to arrive to the home, yes the movers were a bit outside of the estimated window but they are arriving and we are proving the service.

  I am rejecting this response because: 1. The movers arrived late again, 2. We were told the price was 600 more because the moving company but on their new quote from the moving company  it states date change fee but we didnt change the date you guys did due to delays. 3. Now the cost has gone up over $4000 which makes no sense since when I talked to *** it was known to be a 10x10 storage unit at 70-80% compacity. It ends up being more and now at 68% compacity. I understand the packaging charges though high I get it but the rest is once again due to false information and yall not being clear but pushing to rush to sign everything otherwise the truck wouldnt be available! I dont think there will ever be a solution as the company takes no fault and says thats the way the transportation industry works but we ended up canceling and my Dad is out $1224.00 due to the unethical way this company does business. They are not straight forward and hide behind a broad spectrum of clauses on the contract that they want to hold you accountable for but take no accountable for the way they run this scam of a business!
