Most importantly, they labeled each box with what was in it and which room it came from, occasionally drawing pictures of the items inside. Without this, unpacking would be unmanageable.
Negative Advantage Moving & Storage Reviews
Not only were some items missing, but now they were trying to charge her almost $1k in additional fees to move her items to her new home.
Yelp
When i call the office they keep referring me back to her and cannot give me any information about the delivery date and final price. Its been a month and we are still waiting on our stuff to arrive.
Yelp
The last straw was it turns out they lost some nuts and bolts to a piece of furniture (rendering it unusable), which I discovered after having items moved out of storage.
