After two companies ghosted me, Big Guy Movers delivered and unloaded my U-boxes on short notice. They were friendly, prompt, efficient, and I would book them again.
Negative Big Guy Movers Reviews
Eddie quoted $380 for three movers and three hours. They arrived at 4:30 instead of 1–2, left items unloaded, and billed $920. He would not respond when I asked for an explanation.
Confirmed a 10:00 a.m. move, but they never called, never showed, and did not answer calls. My friend and I were left waiting and had to find other help.
I was quoted $360 to pack and move a one-bedroom apartment, but the price rose to $800 midway through. Two movers packed only the kitchen, and I had to move the rest myself.
Neutral Big Guy Movers Reviews
Eddie and his crew did an excellent job unloading, and an extra mover came at no cost. The scheduled 10:30 arrival became 3 p.m., with no specific update after I asked.
