Negative Lifestyle Moving & Storage Reviews

"Booking the move was easy and the movers were very nice, but they banged up my walls and door frames quite a bit. It was also really difficult to communicate with them during the move..."

"Seems like they tried their best but mistakes were made. After a lost box, left bed piece, and damaged furniture on arrival, they offered compensation but that doesn’t cover for my mediocre experience."
Yelp
"No english speaker in the moving team... miscommunication, items left unattended, furniture scratched, timeline overruns... Ivan tried to make it right, but process was stressful."
