Didn't respond when called during business hours.
Neutral Joshua's Moving Packing & Storage Reviews

Not very happy: several glass items, a statue, and a TV console door broke. Joshua was responsive and the crew arrived on time, but the team struggled with valuables.

Work quality was good, but the crew acted unprofessionally and added equipment, destination, and card fees that the initial quote did not mention.
