Negative Budget Movers & Storage Co Reviews
Douglas Koehler, Google
The price we paid for a move was significantly higher than the quote given for the initial moving cost. My television arrived broken. The movers were difficult to schedule with and unreachable on the phone most of the time.

The foreman was extremely rude and unprofessional. They quoted me for three movers, but the foreman didn't move anything. They damaged my property and refused to take responsibility.
