They showed up very late in the day, broke my front door, crushed lamp shades, and left a grease stain on my leather couch.
Brittany Sturm, Google
Movers showed up 1 hour late, did not fully reassemble my furniture, smashed my flat-screen TV, and left the claims process complicated and tedious.

They called and said they were running late. It turned into 4 hours. The COI was never processed, so I had to cancel last minute.
