I hate packing and moving. Needless to say I was very anxious when Ray and Raul from Unicorn showed up (in their masks) for my move because I literally only had 3 boxes packed. They were awesome in helping me get everything I needed to my new place. They were very diligent, hard working and they were also very thoughtful. I seriously was waiting to be shamed for my piss poor packing but they never did. First move I've made where I didn't have a panic attack and I owe it all to them. Did I mention very reasonably priced also.

Al and Ledon were the best movers I've had. They both were professional, very nice, took care of my stuff and I'm glad they moved me. Ledon even fixed my bed frame so now my bed is as sturdy as when I first bought it. I would highly recommend this team to anyone and everyone. Not only were they careful, kind and professional but they're extremely fast. I was amazed how strong these guys are.

I used unicorn moving and storage to move a heavy tv console from one house to another. The price was beyond fair and Zeke and Chris were very professional. I requested a call ahead and mask wearing! They called before hand and had masks on when they arrived! They even took the time to wrap my console in blankets and tape to prevent any damage. It was one item to move and they took such great care of that item... I can imagine how careful they are when they move an entire house! I will use them again In the future!

Unicorn Moving and Storage did a great job moving me from Phoenix, Arizona to Austin,Texas. They were right on time, provide total cost prior to move, and were friendly people to work with. I recommend them for your next move.

I had Unicorn scheduled to move me but then my closing date changed. Unfortunately, Unicorn was not able to get me on their schedule for my new date but I sure wish I had the opportunity for them to move me instead of who I had to go with! Unicorn packed up my kitchen for me anyway and it only took two hours and the guys were great. They packed everything so well and nothing got broken. So happy with Unicorn and will definitely make sure to use them next time no matter what the date turns out to be!

Unicorn did an efficient and fast-paced move for me. Karen at the office was wonderful also. The two men from Unicorn that moved my furniture and boxes were very friendly and very careful with my belongings. I was very happy with Unicorn's service, and, to top it off, the price was very reasonable.

I needed movers super last minute and Unicorn Moving came through with reasonable pricing and great customer service. I called a few other moving companies and their prices were pretty ridiculous in my opinion. The movers they sent were extremely polite and packed up our things with care. Also - they do long distance moves, which is what I used them for. I would definitely recommend Unicorn Moving to others looking for movers.

Chris and Jeff did an amazing job helping us move last week! They arrived on time, safely packed up our furniture, and delivered it without any damage. They were also super efficient and had everything settled in the new house more quickly than we even hoped. I would definitely call Unicorn for our next move.

The BEST possible moving experience I could have hoped for!! My movers chris and ezekiel were efficient and friendly. The scheduler, Chili, was very courteous over the phone. When the movers helped me take down my TV from the wall mount they took the time to show me how it was done which was greatly appreciated.

A coworker heard that I was moving and recommended me Unicorn Moving to help me with my move. I quickly understood why he held them in high regard. After receiving a very reasonable quote on my 1 room apartment, they set up the appointment quickly and everything afterwards was handled professionally. Sal and Ezekiel showed up 8:30 am, got to work, and by 10 am I was completely moved out and in. I got to spend the rest of my day unpacking organizing my new apartment instead of loading and unloading. Affordable, professional, and efficient. Highly recommend their services if you plan on moving.

Jose, Israel, & Chris moved my daughter and son-in-law to their new home last week, and they were awesome! They offered loaner wardrobe boxes which was a huge help we weren't expecting -- saved us several trips back and forth. They were so quick and efficient that the move was done by noon! (We'd planned a full day!) I would absolutely recommend Unicorn and this crew to anyone moving in the Austin area! Thank guys!

Jeff and Hewie moved an enormous badly-packed library (along with the less important things like luggage and furniture) with care, grace, and aplomb. Stairs were involved. They handled difficult truck parking issues at both start and finish, answered dumb questions without visible annoyance, and made the deeply unpleasant experience of moving just that much more tolerable. Back at the office, Chili answered the phones with patience, gave me a very accurate moving time estimate, and helped us deal with a possible last-minute cancellation that thankfully was not necessary. This was my second move with Unicorn and I could not be happier with my decision.

Really great move with unicorn movers. Huey and Rick were great and quick in a difficult move. Mark was quick and responsive when a wall was scraped and a monitor was broken, reimbursed completely and hired a contract to come out. Highly recommend.

The movers, Brent and Rick, were prompt and tremendously helpful. We had more boxes than we anticipated during the move (you figure out how much stuff you have when you go through it all - it can be so overwhelming), however, they were able to adjust the cost without any issues. In addition, they were able to load everything quickly without harming any of our belongings. They were transparent with what they were going to do during the entire process.
We compared the cost of their services to other moving companies in the area and found them to be the most reasonably priced company. My husband and I could not have asked for a better company to work with! If we ever need to move again, we would definitely use their services. We would recommend them to anybody in the Austin area!
