Negative Royal Moving & Storage Reviews
Yelp
"Do NOT hire these people. Not only do they overcharged me by $1100, they have unprofessional workers who took breaks every 2 hours and have NO EXPERIENCE dinging up pretty much every corner, doorway, wall of our newly finished house and broke a lot of our heirloom pieces including furniture, vases, statues, and others."
Yelp
"Worst company ever. If you want your furniture and personal things to be 100% damaged when they arrive. Then this is the company for you. They lie about their price and they lie about delivery time and date."
Yelp
"Where to start? The name is deceiving; not 'royal' service at all. The guys arrived a little later than planned, spent more time on their cell phones and using my bathroom than working."
Neutral Royal Moving & Storage Reviews
Yelp
"Quality of move was fantastic. 5 stars. They were very careful with our belongings. Payment was a bit of surprise. 10% markup on card transactions, which is just highway robbery."
Yelp
"Both Andrei and Nick quickly reached out regarding the damage to the end table. While they made the effort to correct the mistake, I can no longer give them a rating of 5 stars, but a rating of 3 stars."
Yelp
"Danyel reached out to apologize for the situation and made sure that I got my discount refunded to me. With that said, what I described in my original review did happen and was very stressful."
