Thanks Adam for nothing. Over $10K over your quote!! You deserve a raise. Don’t waste your time this is a scam! I cannot express it enough
DO NOT USE SCAM

Oof.

I got duped.

Smooth Movers are complete and total scammers.

Don’t believe anything they tell you.

SCAM ALERT — Smooth Way Movers is a Fraud!
Beaware they operate under the name "BELLHOP MOVING SERVICES LLC" as well based on their DOT #
Binding $2,500 Quote Turned Into $9,500+ Ransom Extortion
Full Review (1 STAR):
DO NOT USE Smooth Way Movers (smoothwaymovers.com, DOT #4167466, Stuart, FL) under ANY circumstances. This is a textbook interstate moving broker scam operation that preys on families during one of the most stressful times of their lives.
In mid-February 2026 I booked a household goods move for my son from Edmond, Oklahoma to Pensacola, Florida. Their salesman, “Robert,” sent a written binding estimate for 463 cubic feet at a total price of $2,500 with guaranteed pickup on February 25 and delivery no later than February 27. We felt safe because it was “binding” and in writing.
The assigned carrier (Moving Forward Group) showed up 5 hours LATE on the 25th, immediately claimed the shipment was suddenly over 800 cubic feet (so the new charge was $4800), and refused to load or deliver a single item unless we paid them an extra ~$4,000+ in cash or certified funds on the spot. That’s right — they literally held all of our belongings hostage until the ransom was paid. Delivery would be delayed unless I paid an additional $4000 express fee. The entire experience was an absolute nightmare.
This is 100% illegal under FMCSA rules (binding estimates cannot be broken like this), yet Smooth Way Movers — the broker — did nothing to help and simply washed their hands of it- falling back on the narrative "everything was an estimate". They lowball the quote to hook you, then partner with shady carriers to extort you at pick up or delivery. Classic bait-and-switch scam.
I have already:

Disputed the entire charge with Discover Card
Filed formal complaints with the FMCSA against both Smooth Way Movers (DOT 4167466) and the carrier
Documented everything with emails, the original binding estimate, photos, and payment demands

Smooth Way Movers is not a legitimate moving company — they are a broker that exists solely to rip people off. Their website looks professional, their sales pitch is smooth (pun intended), but it’s all smoke and mirrors.
If you are even considering using them, RUN THE OTHER WAY. Do an in-home survey with a real carrier, get everything in writing, and never trust a broker promising unrealistically low “binding” prices for long-distance moves.
Zero stars. Absolute crooks. Stay far, far away.
