They are not insured for your items. They do not properly cover items and are not careful with them. If they scratch your floor, no problem.

Doug changed the agreed time, then became aggressive and rude when I declined the new time. I expected the scheduled appointment to be honored.
Sarah Smock, Google
They promised to load my truck, but did not show up and would not answer calls or texts. I had paid several days in advance.

They were late but professionally kept me posted and took care of my property. After they left, I noticed a sofa leg and a few other things had not made it into storage.
