Negative Tri-State Area Movers Reviews
George Crenshaw, Google
The movers were very professional at the work they did. They handled my furniture very well from place to place. However, I was extremely disappointed with the price. It was 50% more than the estimated quote.
Christiana McPherson, Google
The original quote was $697.50 and they charged us $1960.00 instead stating that we used more cubic feet than they had estimated. They left damage on the walls of the apartment and considerable damage to my piano.
Rebecca Lewis, Google
Movers were good guys. They moved fast and were accommodating and patient. The pricing should've been clear up front, and estimates should NOT be given over the phone. Rates lack accuracy💯
