Negative Mammoth Moving & Storage, Inc. Reviews
Yelp
"We had the worst experience ever! The move into storage went smoothly until we were given a receipt with charges amounting to $100 more than what was quoted... The move out of storage was a nightmare to schedule with the office staff. They were angry rude and extremely difficult!"
Yelp
"Terrible experience with Mammoth... they arrive 1hr after the close of the window... At least $140 was for their drive to and from +break, +fold blankets. I never would have imagined paying nearly 600 on movers... Really unethical business practices."
"They were supposed to pack and ship my stuff when my university was suddenly closed in March. They never shipped my stuff. I have no idea what happened to it. Do not recommend"
Neutral Mammoth Moving & Storage, Inc. Reviews
Yelp
"We were fine with Mammoth and Sean during the planning process of our move out of state. The packers and movers were all fine. It's after we arrived that our problems began. We saw that the freezer door on our refrigerator was badly damaged... disappointed that full coverage for the damages was not covered..."
