Thu Jul 23 2009The movers were on time to start, they finished our move in record time, and they took pains to make sure everything was right where we wanted it. The price was just what I was quoted - and it was a low price too! They came recommended highly to me - and I'll recommend them highly to you.

Sun Jul 12 2009It would be nice if the service from Unicorn was the same you get everywhere else. The movers showed up at the scheduled time. They confirmed exactly what needed moving. They worked efficiently and carefully. They caused no damage and no mess. They were polite and friendly the whole time. It was also obvious that these were experienced movers who knew all the tricks for getting large things through small spaces without damaging the property.

Thu Jun 04 2009Our movers did a fantastic job! They arrived two hours early and moved everything down three grueling flights of stairs very quickly. I received about 6 price quotes for our move and Unicorn was priced considerably under all of the other quotes. We even bought boxes from them for half the price you would normally spend and we received most of our money back from the boxes because of a special they had going at the time. Everyone we spoke to was very helpful and pleasant! I will be calling them if we have to move again!

Thu May 21 2009I have used Unicorn Movers twice and they have delivered two flawless moves. They have moved me up and down stairs, finessed my giant couch through some tight spots, and hauled tons of books for me - all without a problem. The movers themselves are very friendly and great at what they do.

Thu Feb 05 2009They did a great job and everything went very smoothly. Everybody was very professional from the people at the office to the movers themselves. I would highly reccomend them if you are in need of a good moving company.

Sun Feb 01 2009Prompt, courteous, professional, efficient -- overall a very pleasant experience on what was anticipated to be dreadful.

Wed Jan 28 2009This was my second time to use Unicorn to move some of my mother's belongings to/from an assisted living facility. I have been impressed both times with the promptness and courteousness of the movers. In fact, they were early both times! And, they were able to move us on very short notice both times. I will certainly call them again.

Wed Jan 28 2009I had a 100% positive experience using Unicorn for my recent move. Despite me changing pretty much every parameter of my move at the last minute, they juggled their trucks and their people to bail me out. All their fees were disclosed up front, and they were in constant communication throughout the process. They have my highest recommendation (and deepest thanks!)

Sun Jan 25 2009This is the third time I have used Unicorn Movers and every time they have been courteous, honest and most importantly they are always on time. This time I had to coordinate between the the movers and the place we were moving our stuff. They showed up when they said they would and were professional and quick. I would use them again every time.

Sat Jan 24 2009I knew as soon as I talked to the people at Unicorn Movers that I had found the company to handle my move. Unicorn provides the service it promises at a reasonable cost, and in an efficient and expedient manner. I highly recommend this company. I have had to make two major moves in one year -- from Los Angeles to Bee Cave, and then from Bee Cave to South Austin. I was not familiar with any in-town movers, so I checked the Yellow Pages and began to research the movers online and by phone. The over-the-phone estimate was fair and accurate. The gentlemen who moved me were just that. . ."gentlemen". . .and additionally, were strong, professional, timely, careful, and HONEST. When they found that I did not have as many boxes to move as I had originally listed, they actually credited me with the items I did not move. My furniture was delivered to my new apartment without any damage and the company followed up to see how I was doing. If a move can actually be "pleasant," then Unicorn ... Read more

Fri Jan 23 2009We have had an opportunity to use the Unicorn Movers twice in past 6 months. A few months ago our son's mother in law moved from one city to another. We were there and were impressed with the efficient and above average moving service. Recently we had to have an entertainment center moved from our house to our son;s house. Because of previous good experience we decided to use Unicorn again. The entertainment center was a large unit that had been assembled in the room and we were not even sure it could go thru the door without dissambly. Your guys were exceptional and had it out the door and in the truck quickly. They delivered it to the destination with the same efficiency. We were very pleased with your movers. They were on time, made a hard job look easy, did above and beyond extras like moving items away to clear path and returning it after the unit was moved. The furniture arrived without any damage. The cost was very reasonable. We rate your services as excellent... Read more

Thu Jan 22 2009The guys and gals at Unicorn are friendly, accommodating, courteous and professional - great personalities and great pride in their work and company. I have used them to move my "son", Il Monstro, a massive 400 bottle wine cabinet, and our large refrigerator. Great job, guys! Simply the best! Why bother with anyone else?

Tue Jan 20 2009Used Unicorn Moving. Gave a good accurate qoute. The two move-guys they sent were very friendly. Knew exactly how to move the items.. big , small , heavy , bulky.. No damage at all. It was raining that day and they took good care of the carpet laying their own pads. Moved couple of plants and they got moved in a great shape. Definitely recommend them.. The guys who moved us were : James and Israel..

Tue Jan 20 2009I manage a few day spas here in Austin, and we have ALWAYS used Unicorn exclusively for our moving needs. They are prompt, reliable, flexible with our hectic schedules and demands, professional, and just plain fun to work with. We often times entrust them with equipment that is worth thousands of dollars, and we have NEVER had a bad experience. I will never entrust my personal belongings or my company's assets to any other company!

Tue Jan 13 2009My first time using a moving company was with Unicorn. I can honestly say I will never go back to buying my friends beer and pizza to help me move! They were very competitive in their pricing (I received quotes from 3 other local companies and they were by far the best). They also offered hourly and flat rate quotes. The movers arrived on time and got straight to work. They were very friendly, did not stop for breaks and put everything exactly where I wanted it in the new apartment. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone! I know I'll use them again for my next move!

Tue Jan 06 2009I noticed one of my neighbor's using Unicorn Moving and asked her what she thought of them. She had nothing but good things to say to them. When it came time for my own personal move, I contacted Unicorn Moving for a quote. I also contacted 4 other places (some larger name co. and some not so big) and Unicorn was by far the best priced company. They showed up on time, did my move, made a stop along the way to pick up additional furniture and unloaded at the final destination. I was pleased with their professionalism and flexibility to add last minute unplanned items. I will definitely be calling Unicorn again in the future and recommend to anyone to give them the opportunity to move their things too. Thank you!

Sun Nov 09 2008We had an excellent experience. They were on time. They were fast. They were careful. No extra unexpected charges.

Thu Nov 06 2008These guys were great. They showed up when they said they would and moved everything quickly without any damages. They were friendly and polite and I highly recommend them.

Mon Nov 03 2008Unicorn movers: what can I say, they were more than I expected. I had to move out of my home then move back in a month later, due to foundation repairs. This was the first time I have ever used a moving company and didn't have many people to refer anyone to me. Marilyn came in at first to review what had to be moved and she not only looked at my home items as stuff to be moved and stored but as pieces for a home. She was upfront and honest with what I could do to make the move easier on myself. I then bought most of my boxes from them and in hind sight I wish they were closer so I could have got them all from them. They were solid good boxes. Anyway when the team of movers came to my home we had so much fun they were like brothers to me. Asking question, being honest, joking with the amount I had to move ( I had 12 container to fill). I was very suprised to see that they really enjoy doing their job and working for the company. When they returned my items, yes there was two damaged... Read more

Sat Oct 25 2008Simply said, I would recommend these guys to anyone. They were able to make a last minute move to our pick up time, still arrived exactly on time, moved everything faster than I could have imagined, and not one scratch on anything they touched. The two gentlemen that moved our things were polite, professional, and very nice to work with. Everyone in the office was quick and helpful. Fantastic job guys!

Thu Oct 23 2008We have used several different moving companies in our past moves, but for our most recent move, we decided to use Unicorn Moving and Storage because we received a flyer in the mail giving us an additional 10% off of the move. When I called in to get a quote, the lady helping me, who was extremely friendly and personable, gave me an additional 5% off of our price. The movers on the day of the move were Israel and Larry and they showed up on time, were super professional and did a great job. We would definitely use them again. Overall it was a great experience and made our move a lot easier.

Wed Oct 15 2008The movers are always friendly, professional, on time, and I have used them twice. I plan on using them for all my moving needs. :)

Wed Oct 15 2008They were very easy to work with. Took very good care of all our furniture. Most of all they were very reasonably priced

Thu Oct 02 2008Unicorn moving was great. The guys were right on time, very courteous and most importantly - careful with the furniture. I've used a couple different movers in Austin and this one is the best in my experience. The guys are really helpful and even helped me rearrange a couple items after they moved them in so everything fit in the rooms well. Thanks Unicorn. I definitely recommend them and will use them again.

Mon Sep 15 2008Unicorn Movers was awesome! First they moved furniture into my garage while I was having the floors redone, and the two gentlemen were very cautious and very ,very nice. They worked fast which was appreciated, and they were careful with each piece from the very important to the least important. Several days later two different gentleman came to move furniture back into the house, and the same kudos go to them. They were also helpful with allowing me time to put felt pads on each piece as they lifted them up, and I am very grateful for that. I definitely recommend Unicorn Movers!!

Sun Sep 14 2008We are so happy that our move went off without a hitch. Even though "IKE" loomed--our movers were on time, courteous, and funny. They loaded us up and got us moved very quickly and not one thing got broken! They took care of our things like they were their own belongings. I hope we don't have to move again for a long time, but if and when we do, we'll call Unicorn again! I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Wed Sep 10 2008I see why 3 of my friends recommended that I use Unicorn Moving. We had just married and were merging 2 large households. Marilyn came out and gave us an almost flawless bid to pack and store almost everything from both homes until our new home was finished being built. It was the perfect move from beginning to end. The guys did a fantastic job packing, storing and moving us into our new home. We had a different team for each house, and both crews were quick, organized and courteous. They packed both house quicker and cheaper then estimated. The following day they brought out their storage containers and carefully lwrapped everything and loaded them as they said they would. When our home was finally ready to move into, Unicorn sent the same great guys to deliver our furniture. Everything was set-up exactly the way we wanted. Unbelievably, we only had 2 minor damages, which was taken care of almost immeadiatly. We sure don?t plan on moving for a long time, but if we do, there?s no do... Read more

Wed May 21 2008The office I work for needed some of their extra office desks, chairs, and things moved to our storage. We scheduled an early move [8am]. The movers with Unicorn Moving were awesome! They arrived right on time, moved everything quickly and without wasting time or breaking anything. They were friendly and very professional. I'll definitely be using Unicorn for my next move!

Wed Apr 23 2008Unicorn Moving provided fast and affordable service w/o trying to sell me additonal services I didn't need. They even threw in a couple of wardrobe boxes for free. They scheduled my appointment on the day that I wanted and arrived on time. Nothing was damaged and the movers took their time to move the larger items so as not to damage them. Thanks Unicorn!

Wed Apr 23 2008Have used Unicorn Moving twice. When they moved my wife and I they actually arrived a little early instead of late. They had a pleasant attitude and did a very professional job. I was so impressed, a year later I hired them again to move my mom and stepfather out to their retirement property. She was also impressed, especially since they had just put in a twelve hour day moving them. She called me a week later happy to report that nothing was damaged.

Wed Dec 27 2006I have moved many times and it is a thankless job. Unicorn showed up on time, handled my belongings with care & asked questions as appropriate. They were punctual, professional & hard working. The company was easy to deal with, easy to get in touch with. I did have a few add ons as it is hard to estimate boxes before the move and the initial bid was reasonable as was the additional charge. I actually would hire them again if I need to move again and this time I would even have them pack it.

Sun Jul 30 2006I have used Unicorn Movers for three moves and each time I do I wish I was planning to move again...even during the move! They are nice, fast, freindly, they have never broken are marred anything. The guys they send are so freindly. I hope you use them. I think everyone should. I just can't say enough about how fair and great they are! Use them, use them, use them!!
by austintrue183b_ba
Wed May 10 2006Serioulsy though. These guys were not careful with any of my furniture. The price was less than other companies, but I see why!! If you are looking for someone cheap who will thow around your belongings go with them. I should have bribed a few college kids with some beer. They probably would have been more careful. This is only after I was stood up by another company the day before.

Wed Jan 11 2006This was the first time I used a mover so I was a bit nervous, but Unicorn Movers were very helpful and were able to give me a binding estimate. They adjusted the estimate a day before the move because I discovered that I had fewer boxes. Also, they were on time and the movers were great guys.

Wed Mar 09 2005Need a mover, or just someone to unload a rental truck? Austin company offers moving services, storage, packing and more.

Sun Dec 05 2004This is the most professional movers I have ever dealt with. The office staff gave me a very accurate quote to the final price of my move. I recommend them highly.

Thu Jan 09 2003Unicorn Moving helped us with our corporate move - they arrived on time, got everything loaded, and moved. They helped us get furniture situation correctly and were very professional.

Wed Jan 01 2003My fiancée and I used Unicorn Moving to consolidate two separate apartments into our new apartment. With the holidays right around the corner, we were looking for a reasonably priced mover. After researching movers online, requesting quotes, and calling several local movers I decided on using Unicorn Moving because of the professional, knowledgeable, and friendly staff. Although not the cheapest mover in town, Unicorn was worth the few extra dollars when I consider the quality of service. Also, Unicorn Moving was able to set up the move on one of the two days my fiancée and I would be available. All this only four days before the move, and a week before Christmas! Thank you Unicorn Moving for making our holiday time move stress & hassle free.

Thu Oct 17 2002These guys are wonderful. They truly handled everything they moved almost as if it were their own. I definatley am thankful for the referral that my friend gave me to use them. Trust me, if you need to move, call Unicorn! :)

Thu Sep 26 2002Unicorn moving was prompt (actually there 15 minutes early). The movers were personable. We honestly did not think they (the two men sent out) would be able to get our heavy, oak wall units upstairs at our new house, and within minutes they were set up and ready to go. We were amazed. It was a quick move and the price was definitely right. Use Unicorn!
by stumpy1a9887
Thu Sep 26 2002I just used Unicorn Moving for the second time. They came last week and packed my house and came the next day and moved us. This was a large move and the movers handled themselves very professionally. I don't think I was the easiest person to deal with because I was concerned about our furniture being handled correctly. They soon instilled confidence when I saw how carefully they were with my belongings. I have referred Unicorn in the past and will continue in the future. I hope that this will by my last move for a very long time put if not they will be my only call.

Wed Sep 04 2002Disregard what the doubters have said! My experience with Unicorn Moving was truly the best I've ever had with a moving company. Many times in the past, my experience has been bad from the start. Not so with these guys. The help that I recieved from the office staff was quite exceptional. The moving tips they gave were a life-saver. From the instant the movers arrived, I was delighted! They arrived within the 2 hour window that I was given. They handled my furniture & belongings with the care that I was promised. It's no wonder that Unicorn Moving was so highly recommended to me by the various sources that I talked to. If you ever need to move ANYTHING, make Unicorn your FIRST call!
by bford1c12f7
Thu Aug 08 2002Well, its 230pm and the movers were supposed to be here at 11am. I have called about 5 times, each time I get the same response: "I cant get a hold of the movers. I will call you as soon as I get ahold of them." No calls. This is the absolute worst experience I have ever had with a moving company. I can't believe that citysearch rated this company so high. Call somebody else!

Sun Jun 02 2002The man that took my information over the phone for my move gave me a really good impression of their company. He promised that the movers were "professionals"...and he was right. They arrived on time, were courteous with my elderly mother and her belongings, didn't flinch twice at her somewhat incessant demands, and did it all with a smile. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thank you Unicorn. I'll definitely be passing your name on to my friends!
