Negative Cool Hand Movers Reviews
james Morgan, Google
They broke my TV which costs $1000 and only gave me $300 as reimbursement. Their policy is to only reimburse items based on weight. They were pretty cool and helpful with everything else.
Kira 'NYC foodie', Google
They broke one of the door frames on the second floor by the stairs when they moved furniture from the 3rd floor. They also damaged and broke parts of my wood floor.

The team showed up with no materials, permanently damaged our stainless steel tables, and gouged the walls throughout our building. When asked about the damage, they shrugged it off and asked about a tip.
