Negative White Star Movers, Inc. Reviews
Chuck Ross, Google
The crew refused to move my pressboard desk unless I took it apart myself; the crew chief had completely stripped out two connectors. Their attitude was unacceptable.
rozette alkhalil, Google
They damaged my brand new couch. They won’t repair the damage and they won’t even apologize. They charged me double what they told me when I called to schedule the service.
Marcia Travlino, Google
I am missing boxes and boxes of things and Jordan will not respond to my husband’s text messages. A lady reached out to me today and let me know she had 2 of my boxes.
