Review Analysis
Moving is made simpler when a company shows up fast, communicates well, and treats customers with respect—just what over 73% of 358 reviews say College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving delivers. Most feedback highlights friendly and professional crews who work quickly and carefully, rarely damaging property and often going the extra mile to help. Customers say booking is easy, and the staff is courteous and upbeat.
On the downside, about a quarter of reviews mention problems that include damaged items, surprise costs, and delays. In these cases, support and resolution can be lacking, with claims for broken items often met with minimal compensation, and some customers reporting overcharging compared to initial estimates. Despite these issues, the company earns high marks for efficiency and attitude compared to other movers in the area, but lingering concerns about handling valuables and transparent pricing keep it from being flawless.
