They were impossible to reach, provided no delivery information, asked for additional money before releasing items, and broke or lost furnishings without accepting responsibility.
Cat Nguyen, Google
It took over a month to deliver my belongings, leaving me sleeping on the floor for three weeks. The driver demanded an extra $200, and the company did not respond to calls or emails.
Hailey Rigsby, Google
The moving date was confirmed only the day before, then changed. On moving day, the truck was full, so the move never happened. Communication stayed poor, and the promised refund was not paid.
