Negative Joyce Van Lines Reviews
Sergio Ezama, Google
Boxes were missing and items came damaged, even those in wooden crates. Planning was poor, and execution needed constant supervision. The focus seemed to be speed rather than quality.
Jasmine Vipani, Google
The day before delivery, they required a transfer to a smaller truck and charged several thousand dollars more. A wine-glass box went missing, and my TV arrived cracked.
D. G., Google
Communication is an issue across the board. The service was very unprofessional, and they tried to overcharge for unnecessary services. They did not respond to texts and emails.
