Incredibly detailed and efficient crew. Polite and communicative as well. Took great care of my items, wrapping everything and securing everything in transit and on the truck.
Negative Affordable Moving Services Reviews
GaryCarolyn Bordin, Google
Unfortunately, went over 4 hours and not able to move everything as the truck was full. Worst of all is the damage to furniture. Scratch and chip on Boston Acoustic speakers, scratches on solid oak tables.
Day of move, he added a person and two hours to the previous quote. We went from just under 400 to nearly 900, and had to rent a truck for remaining boxes and furniture.
Owner was rude and unprofessional. He quoted me one price and then charged me over $400.00 more than what was previously agreed.
Neutral Affordable Moving Services Reviews
Kelli Lewis, Google
The team worked efficiently, handled most of my items with care, and for the most part were thorough. A power cord went missing, and the owner took no responsibility.
I felt that the office could have done a better job by scheduling us for a walkthrough with cost. There was a communication glitch between the office and us. The move did go smooth.
