Negative Brave Movers Reviews
Leslie Chang, Google
They moved some items that we told them to leave behind, couldn't fit all our items in the truck, and we paid several hours more than we were quoted.
Dee, Google
You're given one price when you call for a quote then get charged triple that amount. If you're given a five-hour service, prepare to pay for 12 hours of labor.
MacGoreth, Google
It took 12 hours to move a two-bedroom apartment to a new apartment located less than half a mile away.
