Laura Docter, Google
I am so thankful for this courteous, flexible, and skilled team! They showed up at 7 a.m., solved problems quickly, treated my belongings with care, and asked where I wanted everything placed.
Negative Sunny Movers Reviews
Erick Gordon, Google
The movers were friendly, but several antiques, lampshades, and a new TV were damaged. The final bill was nearly $2,500 above the estimate, and the stated reimbursement coverage was very limited.
Katrina E., Yelp
They quoted $455, but a four-hour job took eight hours and cost $1,000. Drive time and a $130 hourly rate were added without clear explanation.
Daniel T., Yelp
The estimate did not account for the amount of belongings, and the truck was too small. The shortfall caused extra rentals and unpaid time off work, despite hardworking movers.
Neutral Sunny Movers Reviews
Abbie S., Yelp
The movers were very nice, but moving my two-bedroom apartment took 7.5 hours instead of the five I expected. I had many boxes and stairs, yet the company should have assessed the truck and crew beforehand.
Carolyn H., Yelp
The movers worked hard, but the quote doubled after a third man was added without my knowledge. The work was satisfactory, yet the missing receipt and unanswered pricing question left me feeling taken advantage of.
