Our movers were efficient, careful with our belongings, and respectful of our brand-new home. The same crew returned for delivery, and storage went smoothly.
They helped when my move-in date was delayed several times, stored my household items, and delivered them when I was ready. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Negative Dearman Moving & Storage Reviews
Many items were damaged, including brand-new appliances, and I had to file a claim. The service cost too much, and movers needed my help with a 900-pound safe.
The move had inconsistent communication, unprofessional movers, damage to furniture and the home, and a frustrating four-month struggle to obtain reimbursement.
I was charged for three months of storage even though my mother needed it for five weeks. The lack of prorating was never explained, and obtaining itemized paperwork took repeated requests.
Neutral Dearman Moving & Storage Reviews
One box and several taped-together wall pieces were missing. Dearman had tagged everything, but no complete tag list or scanning process was provided to verify delivery.
The crews were excellent, but office errors led to the wrong truck size and severe damage. Damage claims took weeks, and the offered payments fell far below replacement costs.
Dearman could not provide much information, but Terrence at the Penske rental location was first-rate, and Andrew was helpful by phone.
