Negative Meathead Movers Reviews
Most boxes were not packed full, which resulted in an expensive change order for more boxes. Loading took 7 hours and unloading took 6.
Yelp
They damaged walls and our refrigerator no longer works after they dropped it. We were also missing a very important sentimental box.
I was given a quote of $478 for 3 hours. The job ended up taking 6 hours and cost $948—double the estimate.

Amy Gonzales, Google
They have been very careful with my stuff during moves and put everything back together great. But a new quote was much higher, and the representative sounded annoyed when I asked about it.
Michael MacChesney (michaelmacofficial), Google
The movers can be very rough with your furniture because they’re in such a hurry. They broke or scratched several pieces and badly dented our refrigerator.
Teresa Orr, Google
Super fast, expensive. Fantastic, efficient, expensive.
