Yelp
At one point, we needed to reschedule, and Chipman was very accommodating. The truck arrived in Texas right on time. Nothing broken, nothing lost, no issues at all.
Negative Chipman Relocation & Logistics Reviews
My shipment was delayed by 33 days due to Chipman being unable to crate my items in time. When my belongings arrived, I was missing a good majority of everything I had spent the last 10+ years acquiring.
Yelp
A lot of our furniture was damaged and thousands of dollars of household belongings and hifi equipment was lost. We were only compensated for 30% of our losses and damage.
Yelp
The quote was erroneous which caused major problems (lack of supplies, truck too small, etc). The poor guys are still packing as I type.

Yelp
Most of my stuff made it intact, though I watched them drop and shatter a container right in front of me. Not a single poster or unframed piece of art was transported without damage.
