Buddy and his team were super flexible, and had no problem adjusting the routine the day of to pick up a bed frame from another location before the agreed move.
Yelp
They were so careful with our belongings that nothing was damaged, and they did not scuff any walls or doors. They also finished the move in four hours.
Negative Aloha Movers Reviews
Yelp
The movers did a good job moving what we needed, but the cost was nearly $300 above the estimate and several items were left behind. Everything moved arrived safely.
Yelp
The movers showed up two hours late, causing a $1,500 condo fine. A headboard was stained with bike grease, and promised follow-up to clean it never came.
Yelp
They confirmed an 8:00–9:30 a.m. arrival but never called, responded, or showed up, leaving me to find another mover on short notice.
Neutral Aloha Movers Reviews
Yelp
They did a fair job moving everything, but accepted only cash, and the lead mover criticized the tip after the final bill.
Yelp
The phone estimate missed many boxes, so the move took much longer and friends later moved some items in a trailer. No items broke.
Yelp
They were nice and diligent, but inexperienced handling caused scratches to a door frame, gouges in a kitchen doorway, and stains on the carpet.
