Negative Men on the Move Reviews
Yelp
They showed up early and got the job done quickly; afterward, we found a chipped kitchen table and two broken bed supports. They had placed clear packing tape on the table damage.
Yelp
At least two expensive items and a mattress never made it into our house. The owner took no responsibility and said we had no claim without additional insurance.
Yelp
Took them 2 hours to load 25 boxes, a bed, dresser, and two bookshelves. They came in 150% above what we were quoted. Would not recommend using them.
Neutral Men on the Move Reviews
They do not unmount televisions. Boxes were left in the living room, and movers spent about 30 minutes in the truck. One crew member was friendly, and they did a great job reassembling the bunk bed.
