Negative McWhite's North American Moving and Storage Reviews
"Several items, two of which were marked 'high value' were damaged (one beyond repair) simply because of the poor job of packing... When the claim for damages was filed, the person sent to evaluate and confirm the damage said simply... 'we just don't know what to do about it.'"
Yelp
"We had a very unsuccessful move with McWhite's North American. Several items were damaged due to poor packing and additional items were lost in delivery. With no help (and no response from McWhites) the insurance paid for the damaged goods but because the lost items were discovered after the driver had left, they did nothing."
Yelp
"Would love to leave a good review... but have called and left messages at least four times in the past weeks... have each time been told I'd receive a call back... still waiting. I'm starting to wonder if the job is too small for them."
