Negative Silver Star Moving and Storage Reviews
"They quoted $300/month for storage fees; invoice was $580 just 1.5 weeks later. This was in addition to the original invoice I paid in full. Be careful, they will tack on fees without prior approval. Horrible customer service."
"They damaged my refrigerator, scraped cabinets, and reattached doors incorrectly, causing issues. Arbitrator said repairs were completed, but they were not. Now I must fix everything myself. Strongly suggest you do not hire them."
"The estimate was $2,000, but on moving day it ballooned to $6,500. Demanded cash before unloading and refused to show proof of weight. Won't return calls. Please don't use this company, they're a complete fraud."
Neutral Silver Star Moving and Storage Reviews
Yelp

Yelp
"I didn't hire Silver Star, but absolutely do not sign up for a quote when you already have a company. These guys will blow up your phone every day, even after you chose someone else. They called and left voicemails daily."
