Negative Hillside Van Lines Reviews
Lauren Volini, Google
The salesperson who gave us an estimate was very wrong about the cost and size of the move. Many boxes were left behind, and the company was slow to return our calls.
Ernest LaFontaine, Google
Hillside confirmed our moving time and date, then did not show up. We waited over an hour, the office was unreachable, and we were hung up on after complaining.
M Barr, Google
Hillside handled my furniture and moving boxes carelessly, causing serious damage. They were late delivering my things because they did not have enough movers for the job.
