Negative Magic Moving & Storage Reviews
Tai H., Yelp
The movers damaged my $3,000 bench and never mentioned it. After I filed a claim, they sent only a $30 check. I also found floor damage and did not receive meaningful help.
Michele B., Yelp
The move cost almost twice the quote. They destroyed a cabinet, lost a box of valuable items, and did not respond to repeated requests for compensation.
Doug R., Yelp
The total cost was double the expected price after the company changed the move plan without telling us. The back office responded dismissively when we raised concerns.
Neutral Magic Moving & Storage Reviews
Grace S., Yelp
The crew worked quickly and efficiently, and nothing was broken. They chipped paint, left a dirty toilet seat, and missed the expected level of detail.
