What to Know About Intense Movers
Intense Movers lives up to their name with crews that bring serious muscle and energy to every job. They're particularly well-suited for moves involving heavy furniture — sectional sofas, marble tables, commercial equipment — where physical strength matters as much as finesse. Their pricing is competitive for mid-size moves, and they maintain reliable scheduling that you can plan around. Where they fall short is with delicate or high-value items that require gentle touch over brute strength. Communication between their front office and field crews occasionally breaks down, leading to confusion about scope or timing. Their commercial moving is competent but lacks the sophistication of specialist office movers. Weekend surcharges can significantly increase costs. For moves where heavy lifting is the primary challenge, Intense delivers value. For a more balanced approach that handles both heavy items and delicate pieces with equal care, Movd's flat-fee platform matches you with crews whose specific skills align with your inventory — no compromises required. Hiring any moving company directly means you vet the crew, negotiate the price, and pay them yourself on move day. Booking through Movd instead is a protected transaction: your price is approved up front from your full inventory, and your payment is held by Movd until after your move.

How Movd Protects Your Move
With Intense Movers — or any moving company you hire directly — you vet the crew, you negotiate the price, and you pay them yourself. With Movd, the transaction itself is protected:
You pay Movd — not a crew on your doorstep
Book with a $50 deposit. Your card is pre-authorized before the move, the balance is charged only after your move is complete, and Movd releases your mover's payout after the job is done. No cash handoffs, no doorstep renegotiation.
A price you approve before anyone lifts a box
Your quote is computed from your full inventory and building access up front, and every package includes a built-in volume buffer so small misses don't change your price — backed by the $2,500 Move Guarantee.
No negotiation, no sales pressure
Input-based and approval-based: enter your move, review the computed price, book it. No phone haggling, no bait-and-switch, no on-site renegotiation.
A vetted, accountable crew
Every Movd fleet partner is pre-vetted, DOT-licensed, and insured, and Movd handles the Certificate of Insurance paperwork with your building — someone stands behind the move besides the crew itself.
