Negative Expert Movers, Inc Reviews
ines llopart martinez, Google
The price was great, they showed up on time, and booking was simple. But they broke our freezer, dented our diaper pail, damaged our mattress, and the insurance is peanuts.
Laura Bjerga, Google
The movers damaged the ceiling grid in our elevator. They denied causing it, and after I filed a claim, nothing was done.
Cathryn Yuille, Google
The move took six hours instead of four. They broke a desk, hit many walls, and my fiancé and I lifted boxes with them to get the job done.
Neutral Expert Movers, Inc Reviews
Nidhi Biehl, Google
The total ended up more than $1,000 above the quote despite an accurate inventory. They refunded about $180. The movers were kind but less efficient, and they dinged the old place and walls.
Rachel Bolin, Google
An older mover worked hard, but two younger movers seemed to goof off. The move took longer than expected, a couch hit the wall, and a taped exacto knife was left behind.
Yelp
They are efficient and diligent, but charge 3% for credit-card use and require payment for a 2.5-hour minimum, even if the move takes less time.
