I had similar problems with their web form on my laptop. I finally had to call and talk to someone on the phone. But they never did get back to me with a detailed estimate that I could rely on. I gave up on them.Seem to be mainly a local mover anyway

Recommend 10/10! I found these guys in The Austin Chronicle, rated best in town. After reading a handful of reviews I was sold immediately!
Fast and efficient, plus some of the best prices I found in Austin. Love love love the staff. One employee mentioned he had been with this company for 20 years.. I think that says it all. Thank you guys! I will 100% be using Unicorn Moving & Storage in the future.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kay K.Leander, TX0128Apr 25, 2024
Unicorn Moving did a wonderful job of packing and moving my household. I used their services in 2016, and am happy to find that Unicorn has maintained high customer service!
T. J. & Jim worked feverishly, not even stopping for a coffee break.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jon J.Austin, TX01Feb 25, 2024
Juan, Summer, and Daryl were great. They moved fast finishing in less than half the estimated time and treated everything like they owned it. The entire Unicorn team has also been responsive and eager to answer questions.

Just wanted to update review after business owner replied. They definitely did not take care of the issue. We never heard back regarding the broken items. I just think that if nothing else, breaking items constitutes some type of discount.

Carrie - I'm sorry for taking so long to address this publicly on Yelp, but I understand from the team that we were able to get your issue resolved directly. Not our best move for sure, and for that you have my apologies.
Oct 2, 2022Previous reviewWe were very disappointed in our decision to use Unicorn Moving. We needed to store our items as we couldn't immediately move in. We wound up having them move us out, store our items for about 2 weeks and then move us in. Everything fit in one of their big trucks. However our total cost wound up being about $2000 more than our estimate. That's bad enough but probably could have lived with that if they didn't also damage/break several items. We had 3 desks initially and two were broken beyond repair. We have scrapes on some wood pieces and and big scuff on our leather couch. Our dining table with a pop up leaf no longer works so we can't extend it now. There were chips in the wood and on paint on our brand new house door and trim. Our rolling grills no longer roll because they are all out of whack/bent up. So not only did we spend way more than we had budgeted we now are having to replace furniture. Very disappointed and would not recommend. All this was brought up with a manager and basically we were told that an estimate is not a guarantee. No comment or help with all the damage.

Longtime customer and first time reviewer. Unicorn Movers have moved me across Austin about four or five times and I will continue to call on this company first! I couldn't be more impressed with their service, value for your money, and quick communication. Sean and Josh, the team assigned to my move, went above and beyond to ensure this move was a smooth and efficient process across the multiple locations. From start to finish, their professionalism shone through, making the entire experience stress-free. They handled everything with care, ensuring that even the most delicate items were transported safely. Unicorn Movers not only met but exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable and dedicated moving company. Sean and Josh's commitment to excellence made my move a positive and memorable experience.

We had multiple moves after selling a house. One move was heavy/bulky furniture to an apartment about 20 miles away. Another was again heavy/bulky furniture plus miscellaneous items moved 1,000 miles away then a few items moved back to Austin to the apartment. First, Unicorn was easy to work with in getting these moves set up and quoted. Second, they were on time, worked quickly, and took excellent care of the items being moved. Third, they were a great a value in all of this. Daryl and Jose took great care of the items in the long distance move. I only wish I had the names of the guys who did the in-town move as they also did took great care. Both teams were extremely professional. I highly recommend Unicorn for any moving needs!!

We had to relocate our office space in short notice and Unicorn Moving was more than willing to help. They were nice, informative, and very efficient with their quoting and moving services. They even took all excess furniture off our hands to donate or re-home! Highly recommend.
