Damaged items and overcharged. Didn't quote fairly, damaged fridge and table, refused to help with water or gas lines.
So much went wrong. Movers over 4 hours late, left stuff behind, packed keepsakes poorly, many items broken or scratched. Missing totes found later, but damage was extensive.
Driver cutting people off, no turn signals. Very rude and unprofessional.
