Negative Norms Moving & Hauling Reviews
Jeff S., Yelp
They never showed up, and nobody called to let me know what was going on. This caused extreme difficulty because we needed them at the agreed-upon time.
Sandy Collins, Google
The crew arrived 1.5 hours late, and only two of the four promised movers showed up. I was not given the promised hourly discount.
Steve Lunsford, Google
These guys quoted a low estimate, then wanted to use a higher rate when the bill came. I would have never hired them for the rate I ended up paying.
