Review Analysis
Customer input puts Chipman Relocation & Logistics among the most praised moving companies for professionalism, clear communication, careful handling of belongings, efficient work, and organized packing. Over 70% of feedback details responsive staff and smooth moves from planning to delivery, with many customers noting flexibility and quality service compared to cheaper competitors. Yet nearly 27% of feedback reports serious issues such as lost or severely damaged property, hard-to-resolve insurance claims, or slow and unhelpful communication after problems arose.
While efficient and respectful teams set Chipman apart from less reputable movers, patterns of damage and claim difficulties suggest a need for more consistent accountability. Out of 122 reviews, Chipman’s strengths far outweigh those of many moving companies, but potential customers should be proactive about documenting valuables and clarifying claim procedures before booking.
