They damaged my new items and the property, then offered the lowest amount to resolve the issues. My brand-new mattress and couch were ripped badly and ruined.

Totally the opposite experience compared to the last move in 2020. Their service has really gone down in quality.

A mover made a racist remark, wardrobe boxes were left downstairs, and a mirror table was broken during a short drive. The customer also reported unavailable pickup help and felt quality differed based on skin tone.
