Reviews

What customers say

Several customers praise careful handling and friendly crews, with one reviewer also describing the movers as professional; one family says its belongings were packed and loaded over two days, while another appreciated delivery arranged after the new home was ready. One customer reported dishes and a television arriving broken after what they described as careless packing, and said Sourdough had spoken with them but could do little because it was contracted for the move.

Laquan, Joey, Malaki, and Trevor packed and loaded my family up in two days. They were fast and efficient, handling our items with care. Joey’s communication was excellent throughout, ensuring that everything was taken care of appropriately. Laquan was a kickass loader. Highly recommend this crew.

Very friendly people. We moved from Missouri to Palmer, AK. We weren’t sure the date that we would be occupying the house. Sourdough worked with us to make sure that our stuff was delivered after we had gotten into the house. Excellent cooperation to make sure everything worked seamlessly. The crew here in Palmer were outstanding definitely would use sourdough again.

The team at Sourdough was awesome, from Erica who scheduled the small move to the guys who did the move. I have a 140 year old curved glass cabinet that needed to be moved across town and needless to say it had to go flawlessly. You can’t replace broken curved glass. The team handled the cabinet with kit gloved. Thank guys!

Absolutely Worst movers that have no respect for peoples things. If you are military RUN from this company get another one if possible, they will throw everything in a box. They are extremely unprofessional as they packed our things. I had dishes just thrown in boxes and several things arrived broken. I’m not done going through things just the first few boxes but I’m so upset to even open the rest. I will be filing a claim these people are ridiculous! Update: they also broke my 50 inch tv, should have known since they just threw it in a loose box with no wrapping around it. Seriously if you’re military and want your stuff taken care of get another company to do the move, they’ve talked to me but not much they can do since they were just contracted for the move, but that doesn’t excuse their carelessness
