Jose and his team were careful and professional when loading the truck. They stayed in touch during the drive and were right on time when delivering. Our furniture and boxes arrived safe and sound.
Negative ACME Moving and Storage Reviews
The actual price came out to about 30% more than quoted. They paid no attention to fragile labels; boxes arrived damaged or upside-down, and the only item missing was our television.
Yelp
They tore our daughter's mattress, scratched furniture, damaged my sewing machine, left art on the wall, and charged for 14 hours when it was 12.
Our move resulted in damage to several pieces of furniture and missing items. The packing was done so poorly the boxes were crushed, and items arrived damaged.

The person I spoke to was very helpful and set up a 7am time, but it was pushed back to 10:30am. The crew did the job reasonably well, with some little bloopers along the way.
