They were half the cost of the other quote I got.
Jose was very prompt to respond and get us a quote. The crew was professional, friendly and got everything moved in 6 hours.
Rob was very accommodating when I had to reschedule my moving date. Joe and the movers were courteous and professional.
Negative South Jersey Moving Reviews
The refrigerator was dented in the move. When I complained they dismissed it as it was not going to be seen.
They showed up 3.5 hours late because the other job ran longer. Poor communication meant I had to call repeatedly before anyone called me back.
The person who gave us a quote severely underestimated our needs. The truck lacked enough room, so my partner made four trips to move everything.
