Negative Quincy Storage & Transfer Co Reviews
"Would not trust this moving company if you expect professionalism, accountability, care for your furnishings... Over three quarters of all of my furniture was damaged in some way. Movers were inexperienced at packing the truck."
"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."
