I got several estimates and they were the most affordable, and I was definitely more than pleased with their moving services!
Simply the BEST! I would highly recommend Mod Movers with Manuel and his crew. They took care of our belongings as if it was their own. The customer service was highest quality. They were professional and respectful.
Negative Mod Movers Reviews
They arrived 45 minutes late, and didn't let me know they would be late until I called the company. The shelf assembly took forever and they got it wrong. They left the resulting trash on the floor.
They showed up 40 minutes late, worked slowly, left 50% of my apartment unmoved, and charged an additional fee for unmentioned donation items.
Yelp
Was not happy with their service. While they were fast, they were not careful and ended up damaging at least a half dozen of my items, including a broken floor lamp and cracked glass in a framed print.
