Ron and his team handled our complicated move with fine art, fragile antiques, and collectibles going to multiple locations. They packed everything beautifully, and not a single item was damaged.
Negative Aaron's Reliable, Inc. Reviews
Yelp
Started out well. Then quickly went downhill. Broken dresser, wooden chest dropped and broken lock, framed picture with glass shattered, and scratches on artwork and furniture. I called Maria and thought something would be done, but nothing.
Movers cracked two doorways and took a chunk out of a banister. I called multiple times, but they avoided answering and calling back. Ron denied the damage despite pictures I sent.
Yelp
Movers showed up an hour late without the courtesy of a call. This was a problem because I could reserve the elevator for only two hours. The furniture was also taken apart and not properly reassembled.
Neutral Aaron's Reliable, Inc. Reviews
Yelp
Three movers showed up, worked quickly, and took excellent care of my belongings. My complaint was the unexpected two-hour minimum: the move took under 90 minutes but cost $360 plus tip.
