Negative Scobey Moving and Storage Reviews

"From Texas to Montana, my stuff arrived today. Every box squished, every fragile box broke, almost every piece of my furniture busted up or completely broke, some missing pieces... Over $4,000 for ruined belongings."
Yelp
"The persons that did the actual moving were good. IF you have any damages or complaints the management is below horrible. They just ignore you. For two weeks my daughter has been sleeping on a mattress on the floor because they refuse to answer."
Yelp
"Scobey helped with our military move last October. We thought everything went smoothly until we were unpacking and realized they went through all of my wife's jewelry and stole it. Highly recommend finding another company to move your belongings."
Neutral Scobey Moving and Storage Reviews
"The moving and handling of our stuff from Europe to the US itself was really good. Communication is also 5 stars. What I did not appreciate is how the delivery guys came inside the house with their shoes on..."
Yelp
"First time moving and it delivered much faster than we thought! There were some minor damages to our items and a missing cord for our TV, but other than that, I was satisfied with their service!"
"Movers were friendly and everything was ok until loading day. They attempted to have me initial sealing stickers and said that they would seal the furniture crates at the warehouse. I insisted they do it at my residence."
