Negative Movage Moving & Storage Reviews
Yelp
I was never given a formal ETA. In the end, I was informed that my stuff was arriving, not by office coordinators, but by the movers themselves when they texted me.
Yelp
Christian talked over me and was rude. I called to ask a question and ended up cancelling the move with them.

They will pass on additional charges to you, even after fees have already been agreed.

The people working at Movage are very nice. We're extremely disappointed about how our art and electronics were treated this time.

My experience with the actual movers (Sveta & Jay) was awesome...they were professional and fast. I have never in my life dealt with someone so unprofessional and rude.
