Negative Square Cow Reviews
"Sadly, I was very hopeful after all the reviews but had an awful experience. They lost one box, broke two shelves, broke a frame, dropped a box of collectibles, and compensation didn't cover losses."
"My move cost me over $1,000, far higher than quoted. Crew struggled and took past midnight to finish moving a one-bedroom unit. Terrible experience."
Yelp
"The crew showed up late and stretched the move to 6 hours for a small apartment, causing a huge bill. Felt scammed; items weren’t handled gently."
Neutral Square Cow Reviews
"Lovely people. Very polite. But they OVER COMMUNICATED before the move when sending someone out to assess my situation would have been more efficient and effective. The move went way over the time it should have taken."
Yelp
