Negative Hansen's Moving and Storage Reviews
"The amount of damage they caused and furniture they broke exceeded what my invoice was. The office manager was extremely rude and nothing was done to resolve it. I’d NEVER recommend using them."

"We conducted an in-town move. Our 65-inch flatscreen had deep gouges, which wasn’t wrapped. The mover lied, and we received poor follow-up from the office about compensation."
