Neutral Motivated Movers, Inc. Reviews

One crew at $205 per hour was not enough, so another was added. The bill reached $2,800, and I could not get an itemized invoice.
Yelp
The movers were excellent, but the final price was $100 higher than expected. The company gave me a runaround, so I would want everything in writing.

Workers were on time and worked hard, but the quote omitted fees for larger TVs, cleaning supplies, and a 3% card charge.
