Bid was for 4 guys for 5 hours. Only 3 guys showed up, it took longer than 5 hours with only 3 guys. They charged an additional $300!
Neutral Mid Cal Moving & Storage Reviews
Joann Casiano Enzi, Google
The main problem was that they moved all of the boxes first so that they didn’t have room to place the furniture on their second load. They also left a decent portion of the artwork behind.
