Yelp
They communicated SO WELL about every detail, had no problem changing the date a few times, and gave me a thorough breakdown with my estimate. They were quick and efficient.
Negative Move-tastic Reviews
Yelp
When they arrived with our stuff at our new place, they were incredibly slow. The whole move took well over 7 hours. We discovered that our living room TV was busted.
Yelp
At least 3 boxes were not delivered at all, and the loss and damage will cost me over $2,000.
Yelp
The move took 8 hours and change, which was a significant increase in cost. My wicker trunk no longer has a handle, and one of our dressers is completely destroyed.
Neutral Move-tastic Reviews
Yelp
They were timely, polite, and efficient, beating my estimate by nearly 2 hours. Two duffel bags never made it to the house, and part of my steamer was missing.
Yelp
They were careful with my things, which is most important. But the lead guy was inefficient, so the elapsed time killed my budget.
Yelp
They were nice, polite, and on time. They seemed to take care of my stuff, but they were slow and randomly disappeared between the two buildings.
