Negative Lambert & Son Moving Reviews
Yelp
"I will never know whether they deserve the high marks... because, even though I called twice and was told someone would get back to me, no one ever did. Here I am trying to support local businesses."
Yelp
"I would like to try these guys out... but I can't get them to call me back. Filled out their online form, got no response. Called again, left a message. Nobody ever called back."
Yelp
"If anything goes wrong don't expect them to take any responsibility for damages. My stuff was packed improperly for a long-distance move, resulting in significant damage, and the company blamed it on the carrier."
Neutral Lambert & Son Moving Reviews
"The company is well organized and moved everything without any damage or losses. Everyone was courteous and polite. However, the crew of three men moved slowly... this resulted in a much larger bill than we should have incurred for the move."
Yelp
"This review is not about the quality of their services... I called several times and was promised a call back and never got it...after several attempts to contact, there was zero communication back to a willing customer."
Yelp
"Found them by searching for 'piano movers' on Yelp. It turned out they only do piano moving as part of the full move. So... keep looking...3 stars because they did respond to a quote request."
