Negative Secure Moving, Inc Reviews
Maureen C., Yelp
I was spoken to very coarsely and treated very unprofessionally because my credit card had an unauthorized charge. I received no apologies. Their customer service could definitely use some improvement.
Sinclair Properties, LLC, Google
They charged $700 more than the upper end of the range and charged my credit card without my approval. The owner is extremely rude and unprofessional.
Alexandra Smith, Google
Amos estimated $4000 packing and moving to another location. The largest piece in the home is my fridge, and he said that would only cost $100 to move. So where is the other $3900? Really disappointed.
Neutral Secure Moving, Inc Reviews
Frank Owens, Google
Moved Baby Grand Piano; damaged tuning and never returned my call
Ken Jarosz, Google
The initial dealings were great; we had them pack and store everything while we waited for our new home to be ready. When it was getting closer to time, they said I never called and didn’t have the time.
