Negative MidCal Moving and Storage Company Reviews
Yelp
After moving from California to Iowa, I waited over a month for my household items. Some arrived damaged, and other belongings were left behind. The company was slow to respond about answers and reimbursement.
During our move, a 75-inch TV was destroyed, a dryer was dropped, and a file cabinet and bed frame were damaged. The claim paid only $47 for the TV, leaving us dissatisfied.
Bekins quoted one price at the house and charged a substantially different amount at the end of the move.
Neutral MidCal Moving and Storage Company Reviews
Price and time allowed were inaccurate; there were also problems with gate codes.
After using the service, I began receiving spam calls.
