Review Analysis
High marks for promptness and courtesy, but plenty of extra headaches. Out of 508 reviews analyzed, about 40% praised Midway Moving & Storage, Inc. for their efficient service, helpful and professional staff, and careful handling of items. Customers frequently highlighted fast-moving crews who worked hard and minimized the stress of relocation.
Many said the movers acted with professionalism and handled heavy, delicate, or valuable items with care. Still, negative experiences dominated, with over half of the feedback sharply criticizing unexpected final bills, significant price increases from initial quotes, or undisclosed extra charges for supplies. Reports of broken, missing, or mishandled items were also common, and some customers never recovered lost property. Others complained about denied claims and lackluster follow-up from management. While high-quality crews and smooth moves do happen, the chances of facing sticker shock and frustration seem much higher with Midway compared to most companies in the moving industry.
