Negative Elite Moving & Storage Inc. Reviews
"They packed fragile items at the bottom of boxes, broke my mirrored end table, and left things unlabeled. Broken items keep turning up."
"I had the worst experience. Quoted one amount, but charged over triple. Movers threatened to keep my stuff unless I paid. Traumatizing and criminal."
"This company over charges for everything. Didn't disclose extra charges until after the move. My move was less than 10 miles, and I paid over $1300. Stay away!"
Neutral Elite Moving & Storage Inc. Reviews
"I essentially had a one bedroom Apt move... quoted $450, cost ended up $650 with extra charges. The movers were punctual and nice and didn’t waste time. Other than that I’ll be using Clutter for my next move."
Yelp
"Truck and 3 movers showed up within the scheduled time frame for an easy local move. Ended up scratches and broken parts. Ladies driving telecommunications are 5 stars!"
Yelp
"Professional and efficient. Hourly rate is fair but packing material costs were on the expensive side... you can probably save money if you bought your own packing materials instead of using theirs."
