Jane S., Yelp
They called ahead before arriving, accommodated my requests, and worked quickly without feeling rushed or careless. An accidental overcharge was immediately caught and refunded.
Negative Meathead Movers Reviews
Amee K., Yelp
Packing was moved to the same day as the move, the crew arrived 90 minutes late, and a five-hour job took ten hours.
Jephta W., Yelp
Multiple items were damaged, including a TV, coffee table, bed frames, and couch cushions. Despite purchased insurance, the company required us to arrange repair estimates ourselves.
Melissa, Yelp
The crew needed YouTube videos to disassemble our office furniture, and a six-hour estimate became a two-day move. Several items were damaged, and we were still seeking resolution.
Neutral Meathead Movers Reviews
The loaders took much longer than the estimate. They could not fit everything in the truck, and many furniture items were scratched or chipped. The unloaders were terrific, and everyone was courteous and friendly.
The crew and drivers worked very hard and had good attitudes, but scheduling caused major delays. The second truck arrived at 3 p.m., and no unloading crew was provided.
The workers were friendly, but loading took almost three hours despite our preparation. One mover worked very hard, while the crew lacked experience, and the $1,000 cost felt high for a one-bedroom move.
