Negative Nick's Moving Company Reviews
"I was told they would arrive at 11am. They didn’t show until 6pm—7 hours late. My $500 tv stand broke, refunded only $60. Refund process took weeks, calls ignored. Very poor experience."
"Movers did not arrive until 1AM, more than 12 hours later than promised, no explanation or apology, and double-charged our card. Key piece of our bed was lost. Nightmare experience."
"These guys will break, damage, and/or lose all of your stuff. Nick moved me out, stored belongings for 3 months, and many things returned water-damaged, broken, or missing. Little done to rectify or compensate."
Neutral Nick's Moving Company Reviews
"Easy booking, but my card was double charged for the deposit and movers were very late. Only two movers sent, so it took longer than expected. My belongings arrived safely, but communication could be better."
"Movers were efficient and moved my couch through a window for an extra fee. They broke a couch leg but didn't mention it. Also, Nick double charges deposits, so check your billing carefully."
"The movers came prepared and worked fast, but unexpected fees and a last-minute rate change made the total cost much higher than quoted. They handled my belongings with care though."
