I had a quote for over double what the final tab was. The service was efficient, communication was good, and the value was excellent.
Marcin was transparent about the process and cost. The crew wrapped furniture, protected floors and walls, and the final price was exactly as promised.
Negative Ampol Moving, Inc. Reviews
Yelp
So many boxes contained broken items, including irreplaceable pieces. The owner apologized but did not offer compensation, and I will not hire the company again.
Yelp
The mover yelled when I asked him to be careful with a large antique, refused to communicate, and placed items anywhere instead of asking where they belonged.
Yelp
They leaned dirty dollies against the wall, failed to wrap a glass tabletop, and damaged it. The owners eventually replaced the table.
Neutral Ampol Moving, Inc. Reviews
Yelp
None of the movers wore masks in my home during the pandemic. The movers did a great job, but management needs to improve health and safety.
Yelp
I called for a quote and the staff was polite. I have not decided whether to hire them, so I cannot assess the service yet.
Yelp
The move took 11 hours for two apartments nine blocks apart. Fragile items were protected, but chairs left in the rain were scraped, and the cost was higher than expected.
