Yelp
"Movers arrived on time, packed everything up without damage to my house. Everything arrived on time, with everything accounted for and no damage to anything. The final price came in lower than quoted."
Negative A & E Relocation Services Reviews
"A&E movers rushed the packing in one day. Expensive furniture was transported without any protection and damaged. Boxes were poorly labeled and ended up in the wrong place. The new home looked ransacked."
"Charged over $25,000 for a move. Furniture transported without protection, several items broken or damaged, extensive claim. Unprofessional and disrespectful crew, packing issues, and poor communication."
"Delivery was a day and a half late. Key items from shipment lost, worth thousands. Company overbooked, then wouldn't take responsibility—calls not returned promptly. Worst movers ever, especially for military."
Neutral A & E Relocation Services Reviews
"They didn't show up on the scheduled day, broke some dishes, and left several items in the truck. Initially great, but the second move was disappointing. Will not use again."
"The appraiser did well and packers were nice. But one load was delayed by weeks and a few things were damaged. Service was just OK and not very responsive overall."
"A&E showed up on time, packed everything quickly, and charged less than estimated. Teams were courteous and careful. On another move, their timing and attention to details slipped."
