Negative Affordable Reliable Moving and Storage Reviews
Jevgenijs Puskins, Google
Ten things were broken, including antique furniture, lamp shades, and chairs. The furniture was lacking furniture blankets for protection, and the owner did not respond after I sent photos.
Bryan R, Google
There was quite a bit of damage to many items. I bought straps for them to use while packing. When the trailer was unpacked, none of the straps were used.
Neal Miller, Google
After the move and the bill was provided, it turned out that they did not accurately reflect all the fees in the estimate, so I ended up paying more than what was provided in writing.
