Negative Wayfinder Moving Services Reviews
William Morris, Google
Antique tilt table broken in half, expensive china cabinet seriously damaged, and no response or apology from ownership.
Gloria Wilson, Google
The crew was unprepared and had to call the office for paperwork and mattress covers. At the long-distance stop, only one mover appeared until another was called.
Larry James, Google
Wayfinder went to the second drop-off first, leaving staff waiting for hours. The company also canceled the initial move date without contacting me.
Neutral Wayfinder Moving Services Reviews
Janice Huang, Google
On move-out day, movers were punctual, professional, and pleasant. On move-in day, delivery took over three hours, a coffee table leg broke, and a folding table was left in the elevator.
Mukesh Chapagain, Google
They arrived over two hours late without a call, but the two movers carefully moved our belongings and assembled the bed frames.
Nichole Sell, Google
The Buffalo staff were friendly, professional, and efficient, but subcontracted unloaders arrived nearly two hours late and mishandled labeled fragile boxes.
