Great efficient move from Bridgeport to Berrien County Michigan! Francisco and his crew were real professionals and executed within the contract without hassle.
They were a lifesaver! I called on a Saturday evening, and the crew was at my house Sunday morning at 8:00, ready to work. They were very efficient.
Negative Midway Moving & Storage, Inc. Reviews
Mark Kochis, Google
The moving men were very good, no damage and courteous guys. My main problem is that the moving charges were calculated differently than what I was told. The charges were hundreds of dollars higher than I expected.
Yelp
I was incredibly disappointed with my experience. The movers did not wrap a leather chair properly, and tape stuck to the seat. My claim was answered after two months with an offer of $15.
Tyra, Google
Midway acknowledged they left some of my items in their warehouse. I reported two more missing boxes, but my claim was denied.
Neutral Midway Moving & Storage, Inc. Reviews
K P, Google
The movers showed up at 9:30 instead of 8–8:30, so we missed our elevator window. The guys moved quickly, drove carefully and didn't damage anything.
Yelp
Joseph and his crew were exceptional at pickup and drop-off. They loaded and unloaded efficiently, but the quote was about $800 less than what we paid.
Yelp
The movers did a great job moving my furniture and boxes. The lead mover charged one extra hour for driving time and tried to tell me how much to tip.
