Review Analysis
Moving with Elite Moving & Storage means things get packed quickly by a polite, professional crew who treat furniture and homes with real care. Most customer feedback praised the team's speed, careful handling, and clear communications. People liked the easy booking and accurate, upfront pricing, often paying exactly what was quoted or less.
Yet, substantial customer input points out serious issues such as frequent damage to possessions, unexpected extra charges, and delays in arrival or delivery. Disappointed customers described broken or missing items and bills far higher than quoted. Out of 610 reviews analyzed, about 65% expressed satisfaction, which is notably better than many moving companies. The impressive efficiency, genuine courtesy, and transparency set Elite apart, but watch for problems with damaged items and surprise fees on moving day.
