Negative Fortson Moving Systems Reviews
When the movers showed up, they quoted me a different price that wasn't agreed on. I had to find another moving company, setting me back 3 days.
Very nice ppl but they are very expensive on moving charges. 9 months ago they was going to move me from Georgia to Alabama for $3000; now they want $7000.
