They replaced a chipped hutch glass shelf a week after delivery. The same crew packed and unpacked us, and the price was very fair.

They quoted us $5,600, while another company quoted $2,700 for packing, moving, and unpacking. Get estimates first; doing homework saved us $3,000.

I was close to hiring them until they changed the price on me a second time.

The owner promised to move a few trucks, but 30 minutes later nothing had changed.
Neutral Sierra Valley Moving & Storage Reviews
Yelp
The movers did a great job and were professional, but we were billed for five movers' 45-minute lunch break and an extra fifth mover.
Not sure about the movers' skills, but the driver cut me off while merging 10 mph below the speed limit.
We did have a good back and forth flipping each other off and mouthing obscenities on the freeway.
