Dan Aspan, Google
They lowered a couch from a second-floor balcony without scratching anything. The movers worked hard, respected my possessions, and charged much less than other quotes.
Del’s was flexible when we needed to change the move date. They gave clear costs upfront, wrapped everything well, and made a stressful move easier.
They answered at 8:30 p.m., arranged my move, and later accommodated my Sunday storage pickup. The movers were pleasant, personable, and professional.
Negative Del's Moving & Storage Reviews
Items were dropped, scraped, and damaged, including furniture, art frames, and wood floors. Follow-up about the insurance claim went unanswered.
After storage, furniture and boxes were damaged, and other items never arrived. The company offered limited compensation and did not resolve the missing-item report.
They missed a three-hour delivery window, did not answer calls, and arrived 40 minutes after saying they were ten minutes away.
Neutral Del's Moving & Storage Reviews
Pickup and delivery crews were fast, prompt, and securely packed furniture. After storage, several items were missing, and repeated calls did not resolve the issue.
Yelp
They moved my furniture, but charged for an hour of travel that should have taken about 20 minutes. A vacuum tube was also missing.
Yelp
Pickup and delivery went smoothly, but storage led to missed items and a broken lamp. The company did not return calls promptly.
