Reviews of Powell Express Moving / Delivery (Moving Company)

Evan Ouderkirk

Roger & his crew were professional, courteous, and fast (while being careful with my belongings). I was concerned about some of my things being banged into walls & doorways but there were no issues. Paying by the hour for the job, I was very pleased how they worked non-stop at an impressive pace. The job was completed significantly ahead of the quoted estimate time, leaving me a refund that I received in the mail just 2 days later. I would use their services again and I highly recommend them.

We recently used Powell Moving Express for an across town move in Dubuque. I’d never used a moving service before and for prior moves I had always just rented a truck and had my buddies help. To say that I am thankful I chose Powell is a huge understatement. Roger is a “professional” mover and has been doing this for a long time. His experience is evident. The little things that the common guy just wouldn’t think of. Everything from timing (keeping everyone on task) including us, to having the right tools for the job. He provided these big boxes called speed packs which are big boxes for odd sized things like kitchen chairs, lamps, umbrellas, and bean bag chairs. While we were filling those up, he and his awesome team were moving the stuff we had already packed. He’s got these giant rubber bands for keeping the drawers closed on your furniture, blankets for keeping things from getting scratched, and shrink wrap for keeping things from falling apart. You wouldn’t think that you’d need a ramp for a single step into the house, but it’s amazing how efficient it is. He’s got a great truck with a lift gate system that made these guys fast. He and his guys had us moved (an entire 3BR house with 4 people’s lifetime of stuff) moved in less than 5 hours. You know that feeling you get when you made a good purchase? Yeah.. I got that feeling. If you’re moving – Powell Moving Express is the one to call! Thanks Roger and team!

We booked Roger & his crew for our move to our new home this week. The guys all worked efficiently & non stop. The quoted time was spot on. And they handled all of our item with care. I would defiantly recommend them. They made our moving day worry free!

Not often can I say I am totally satisfied with hiring someone to do work for me but Roger exceeded all of my expectations. He was on time and worked steadily and with a depth of knowledge about the moving experience. He and his helper were awesome as a team and what limited conversation they had was short precise and quickly understood. I highly recommend Roger and would not hesitate to use him again. Thanks a million Roger!!!

My elderly mother just used Powell Express to move her out of her 3 bedroom home. They arrived on time and worked hard the whole time. The crew was friendly and respectful of both my mother and her belongings. It was refreshing that the crew had a good sense of humor. Moving is stressful so their attitude was helpful. We made them late due an unforseen problem at the destination. Roger was patient even though we surely messed up his schedule. The fee was very fair especially considering how they can from Dubuque to Stockton then on to Freeport. I would use Powell Express again and recommend others to do so as well.

Had a tricky apartment with a lot of stuff. Powell made quick work of it.

In a nutshell this is the worst moving company I have ever used. Roger quoted me it would take 3.5 - 4 hours for my move to be complete with 3 movers and a truck. He showed up the morning of the scheduled move with only 1 other mover (so 2 in total) without any heads up and proceed to take over 7 hours to complete the move. This ended up costing way more than the original 3.5 - 4 hour quote. Furthermore, during the move our bed frame had to be disassembled and reassembled and this was done so poorly, I don't think the bed frame will survive another move. To top it off, while the bed frame was being disassembled, Roger was compiling about the fact that it was Ikea furniture the whole time which I was very unprofessional. I would not used this company again and definitely not recommend them.
