My experience with Lincoln was A+ all the way. Ken came to the house and estimated time and money for our move. We came in under the price quoted.
I have used Lincoln on multiple occasions for small and large jobs, and they have not let me down. Their willingness to adapt to ever-changing situations is great. Their crew is extremely knowledgeable.
Negative Lincoln Storage & Moving Inc Reviews
Lincoln's Movers damaged a Wooden Chest on 5/1. Ken has used every excuse possible not to come to my apartment and process the claim.
Overbilled me by a lot. They added a $25 gas fee, and I had to fight them to pay what I actually owed.
These movers canceled my move without so much as an apology two weeks before the move date.
