Arko was very quick with a detailed quote and flexible when we had to reschedule twice due to snow and last minute changes.
Negative Arko Moving Reviews
Marketing Home, Google
The movers arrived 45 minutes late, left marks on the walls, broke cabinet glass, and scratched other items.
Sasha S, Google
Artur COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT US, and only sent movers 3 hours late. The truck was oversized and didn’t fit the loading dock. We were charged $870.
Prathyusha R., Yelp
It took 6 whole hours to move my 1B1B apartment. My work desk was also damaged, and the owner offered a $50 refund even though the table's original price was $200.
Neutral Arko Moving Reviews
Naomi C., Yelp
The crew only speaks Russian so without the owner, they're hard to communicate with. They moved things out of order, resulting in permanent damage to my custom dresser.
Holly K., Yelp
The 3 man crew that showed up were very nice, had great attitudes and were polite but that's kind of where it stops. It took them from 11:20-8:30 at night to move our 3 bedroom condo.
Karen Sutter, Google
They did not wrap and pack the paintings I have throughout the house.
