The movers were very friendly, strong, and fast. They got the job done in a timely manner and were professional.
Pleasant experience with Road Runner. The crew was professional and courteous and treated my fragile items with care. Chase was reachable at any time.
The crew worked very quickly and efficiently. They were respectful and moved everything with care. I couldn't have asked for a better group.
Negative Road Runner Moving & Storage Reviews
I noticed dented furniture and my TV completely ruined. I have been calling for at least four days straight and have left multiple voicemails about this issue.
Road Runner Moving either lost or stole four Samsung TVs, high end bed frame, surround sound equipment, chair, lamp. I incurred a loss of valuables worth $10,000.
They damaged almost every piece of furniture they moved. They told us one price and then charged us another price. They have been very rude.
Neutral Road Runner Moving & Storage Reviews
They were polite and professional on the phone but repeated schedule changes followed a weather-related cancellation and they missed the new window. My $100 deposit was not returned. A local company completed the move for less and without a deposit.
