Negative Chipman Relocation & Logistics Reviews
Our delivery took ten days, arriving on the last day of the estimate. Responses were slow, and delivery damaged our hardwood floors, walls, furniture, and children's cribs.
Yelp
The couch was lost during storage, furniture was broken, and a rug and framed picture were missing. After 3.5 months, no one had offered a solution or compensation.
Yelp
I was promised a binding estimate, yet unexpected crating charges appeared. At least nine items were damaged, and the claims process remained unresolved after two months.
Neutral Chipman Relocation & Logistics Reviews
Yelp
Movers on both ends arrived on time and were professional, but they lost a large box of essential kitchen items, damaged others, and delivered two weeks late.
Yelp
Chipman apologized for poor follow-up, which helped, but I found many broken items while unpacking and would pay closer attention to packing next time.
Goods arrived on time and most were undamaged, but stacked totes and boxes were crushed, causing more breakage than expected.
