"I cannot recommend strongly enough that you look elsewhere... the bill I was charged was DOUBLE what I was estimated. The crew was 4 hours early and took twice the amount of time estimated."
"The pricing felt like a bait and switch- one price quoted... did not receive our stuff in the one week window but in 18 days. Boxes had oil stains, fragile items mishandled, staff were rude when called."
