Negative Elite Movers Reviews
Bradley O'neal, Google
"Scheduled a move with Richard and was given a 5 hour estimate. The movers finished in less time but we were still charged a higher fee than the hourly rate. Our wall got dents in the dry wall, they scratched up our hardwood floors, and scuffed up the walls our our brand new home."
Stacey Karetnyi, Google
"Honestly one of the worst experiences I’ve had with a hired service in a really long time. I was quoted for a certain cubic and when my movers came, they told me I needed double the cubic footage on the truck. On top of that, elite completely misquoted me for packing fees and packing fees for my peloton."
Laura Khokhar, Google
"Most horrible experience. They over booked and came 5 hours later than the scheduled time. Be careful !! Movers were exhausted by the time they showed up. Not the fault of the movers, The estimator made a mistake."
