Shelby Abate, Google
We are missing pieces to every bed we own, shelves are broken, and hardware is missing. My kids' piggy bank was shattered. They were rude and made inappropriate remarks.
Off post, Google
Two months later, I have not received communication regarding my damaged furniture. The attitude from both the office staff and movers was disrespectful and unprofessional.

Damaged items and over charged. They damaged my family member's fridge and table. They also refused to help with water or gas lines.
