Customers point to the staff’s professionalism, respectful handling of items, and speedy, well-organized service as standout strengths. Many reviews emphasize efficient crews who communicate clearly and treat customers and their belongings with care. Multiple clients experienced smooth moves that matched or beat quoted costs, and follow-up from staff proved helpful. On the other hand, 34.8% negative input highlights serious damage to personal property, higher-than-expected bills, and, in some cases, last-minute cancellations without compensation or support. Insurance and claims processes left some dissatisfied, especially following breakage or loss of sentimental and valuable items. Compared to other moving companies, Vermont Moving & Storage receives more praise for courtesy and efficiency but faces sharper criticism on packing mishaps and customer care when problems arise. Three-star feedback (6.5%) suggests that while the teams often work hard, lapses in carefulness and lack of clarity about extra charges can sour the experience.
