Negative Intense Movers Reviews
Ryan Williams, Google
However, on my last move, they not only damaged some of my furniture and didn't disclose it, they apparently didn't unpack or somehow lost on a simple A to B move all the shelves to my bookcase and TV unit.
Kate C., Yelp
They damaged three valuable pieces of furniture and my apartment wall pretty badly. When I brought these issues to management, I was ignored for weeks and breadcrumbed along for about a month with no final resolution.
James Yoon, Google
When the mover mentions the tip/pay several times during the move, it really ruins the dynamic and comes across tacky.
