Negative Corrigan Moving Systems Reviews
John O'Connor, Google
We paid $7,500 to move rugs, two small dining tables, two kids' beds, boxes, clothing, cookware, four or five chairs, and some miscellaneous items—not exactly a massive job.
Rude on the phone when you ask questions
Yelp
They destroyed a foosball table. One guy got a cut and made a bloody mess in the bathroom. They lost two handles on our bedroom dresser, while they were on it. Not at all happy.
