Negative Meathead Movers Reviews
Michelle Thiefes, Google
Several pieces of furniture were damaged, and the movers did not let us know, so we discovered the problems after they left. They also left gashes in the walls and broke the stair banister.
Jephta Wuensch, Google
The packing was poorly executed: items from different rooms were mixed in the same boxes and mislabeled. Multiple items were damaged because of inadequate packing methods.
Shelley Diefenbach, Google
75-inch flat-screen TV was damaged during our move. Because we had signed a liability waiver for fragile items, the company denied responsibility and offered $50 for the damaged TV.
Neutral Meathead Movers Reviews
Brittany Tijerina, Google
This time we had two guys; one hustled and seemed to know what he was doing, while the other was sluggish. It took six hours and damaged our newly purchased fridge.
John Kollar, Google
They showed up two hours late due to staffing issues, the office had wrong job details, and only 60% of the house was packed by day’s end.
Aubrey Malone, Google
I was told they were equipped to move a Sleep Number bed, but I had to help break it down and set it up. The bed frame was scratched and the base stopped working.
