The movers were loud and unprofessional in my home, scraped a freshly painted door frame, took a new mattress cover, and left a screen door tied with a bungee cord.
Carly Herbert, Google
Two days later, they said I had been undercharged and required about $300 more, even though the timing error was theirs.

Luis Paz Soldan Schreiber, Google
At payment, they disclosed a 3% credit-card fee that had not been mentioned earlier. The movers were professional, but the fee should have been transparent.
JW Booth, Google
The movers were efficient and professional, but the bedframe had missing hardware, the workbench was assembled backward, and some screws were missing.
Yelp
The movers were clean, polite, friendly, fast, and skilled. A misunderstanding about packing left us to pack much of the kitchen ourselves, so confirm the services in writing.
