Yelp
They were prompt, super quick, polite, organized and strong. Nothing was damaged or broken, and my move ended up taking an hour UNDER the estimate.
Negative Nick's Moving Company Reviews
I was told they would arrive at 11am on a Saturday. I called multiple times and they did not show up until 6pm—7 hours late. I was told I would have three movers and only had two.
After paying for an extra hour of labor that we did not use, we incurred two $50 fees that we did not agree to or receive notice about.
Yelp
Nick's did not pad furniture or wrap items sufficiently, so numerous items broke or were damaged. The movers also arrived almost two hours late and attempted to charge for additional move time.
Neutral Nick's Moving Company Reviews
The movers were fast and efficient, but they broke one couch leg and did not tell me. I also paid an additional fee to lift the couch through a window.
Yelp
Nick's moved us twice in five weeks, and 70% of our belongings stayed in storage. The truck had major engine problems, but the movers were friendly and helpful.
The movers worked quickly and handled everything with care, but unexpected fees raised the final bill about $300 over the estimate.
