Negative Carmel Movers Reviews
Donna L., Yelp
I then notified them of a missing box with my silver and a few other items from the dining room. They said they would investigate. They never followed-up. I reached out repeatedly via email with no response.
Hellokitty Y., Yelp
They lost a box and several pieces of my items. The worst was they BROKE my furniture! I contacted them a few times and still have not gotten any word back, and it's been two months!
Dominic Y., Yelp
My move was supposed to start between 1-3PM, but the movers finally arrived at 6PM. The next day, I realized many of my fragile materials were broken.
Neutral Carmel Movers Reviews
Jillian G., Yelp
The movers themselves were awesome, on time, easy to deal with, and nothing was damaged. The move took more time than quoted even though I added no items, so I was charged more.
Parul Matani, Google
The crew worked very hard and efficiently and protected our furniture. They broke our spinet piano, packed books poorly, and took two months of calls and emails to cover the repair.
Tom Fahey, Google
Not a great experience here. Had issues with the workers that I am unwilling to share. I would just say, with all moving companies, you have to stay on your toes and manage the job personally.
