Negative Melrose Moving Company Reviews
Jacqueline De Maria, Yelp
"Third time using them. Loved the first two crews. This crew stole from me, unnecessarily packed things that were already in containers, and charged for extra boxes they didn't fill."

"They damaged some small items and never followed up after I told them about the items. They said they would send it to a manager, and I never heard back."
