Negative Moishe's Moving Systems Reviews
Caitlin Loughlin, Google
The movers did not bring a large enough truck, left belongings behind, and damaged much of the furniture they moved.
Yelp
They guaranteed a seven-day delivery window, but a delay pushed delivery past it, and we received notice only the day before.
Lara Belkin, Google
The movers broke a lamp’s glass shade, chipped our media cabinet, and damaged candles and jars marked fragile.
Neutral Moishe's Moving Systems Reviews
Scott Sokoloff, Google
They are upfront, work hard, and take great care of your stuff. Fewer movers than expected made the move take longer and cost more.
Chanae Reed, Google
The first leg was fine, but I could not anticipate the arrival date; delivery came with one mover, and several items arrived damaged.
menachem katz, Google
The crew was polite, but fragile items were packed poorly and the boxes were not marked clearly enough.
