"These guys were fantastic. The building I was moving into double booked the freight elevator we needed to use, but Wolley Movers were able to get in and out in less than the estimated time. Great, efficient service. I would use them again and I recommend them to people I know who are moving."
Negative Wolley Movers, Inc. Reviews
"The movers lost my glass top to my dining table. Another thing missing is my keyboard and mouse. The guy supervising lacked people skills. Owner refuses to replace my glass top. This company is not trustworthy!"
"Had a really horrible experience. Was given a great estimate but the movers insisted on excessive repacking and taping, making my three bedroom move take nine hours instead of four. A waste of money and materials and time."
"We moved again after our new house was ready. It was a horrible experience. Not enough guys, truck was too small, damaged items. We just can’t find a sizable quantity of prescription drugs that we knew exactly where they were."
Neutral Wolley Movers, Inc. Reviews
"Great movers. Poor customer service. They still charged me for a large couch fee even though they weren’t able to get it into my new building. Other than that the movers were super nice and efficient."
"The experience was muddied when the bill was going to be double the estimated cost. After discussion with the office, a price was settled on, and the movers were great."
Yelp
"Pricier than other places, but they were available when I needed them. Also, the movers complained a bit about having to move my things. Watch out for their $10 shrink wrap fee, they will try and shrink wrap everything."
