Negative Inland Empire Movers Reviews
Nicholas Guizado, Google
They worked 3.5 hours to the minute but they charged for 4 hours. Then, I noticed a $40 flat charge for tax on my bill.
Isabel Wesson, Google
After we were completely unpacked, we discovered that a sentimental stone my aunt gave me was missing. Some of the walls in our new home were left scratched and marked during the move.
Florence Strange, Google
The furniture was disassembled during the move, but upon delivery, it was not reassembled as expected. In addition, the movers were very rude and unprofessional throughout the process.
Neutral Inland Empire Movers Reviews
Johana Tomassian, Google
They worked very hard and in a few hours had our 2 bedroom apartment packed up. At the new location, they damaged the concrete and some of my crown molding.
Kristin Koron, Google
They moved my stuff, yeah. But didn't listen to instructions very well. I ended up with stuff I requested not be moved, and didn't get a lot of things I asked to be moved.
Vanessa Navarro-Wong, Google
The guys that helped us were hard workers. Only negative is they told me we could rent packing supplies. Which we did, it ended up being $1,000.
