Scott Bierscheid, Google
We received outstanding moving service and unmatched flexibility with our moving/closing date changes ... the crew from Red's was extremely hard working, friendly and careful.
Negative Red's Transfer & Storage Inc. Reviews
Stuff showed up not inventoried or stickered. Furniture was not shrink wrapped or wrapped in blankets. Missing sections of a bed and totes missing. Boxes labeled fragile damaged.
Called Red's several times ... Each time we were told ... get back to us. I want to say there were 5 to 6 calls ... and never heard back from anyone.
One of the movers the next day was angry ... They did not put things where I asked and were generally unprofessional.
