Negative California Movers Local & Long Distance Moving Company Reviews

Akshay Raj, Google

The movers arrived at 6:30 PM instead of the 2–4 PM window, only two people arrived, and they still tried to charge nearly the full rate for three movers.

David Crafti, Google

They dropped our microwave and cracked our 65-inch TV. After months of unanswered emails, the company offered only basic coverage and no meaningful compensation.

Julia Caine, Google

The quoted four-person move became six people and two trucks at an added $120 per hour on moving day.
