Negative 3E Moving & Storage Reviews
Mike K., Yelp
After unpacking, we found all our good cookware missing, with an estimated value of $1,500. It took several calls to get follow-up, and the company offered only $400.
Simon B., Yelp
3E provided good and professional service. The final price was significantly more than quoted—40% more. A written recommendation for an additional 15% tip made them an expensive choice.
Mrs. B, Google
They blocked the entrance so other tenants could not get in. After I asked them to move their ramp, the movers laughed and ignored the facility request. I would not recommend them.
Neutral 3E Moving & Storage Reviews
Helena D., Yelp
We hired them to move a sofa out of town. Good prices, but communication was below par: they did not notify us they were late, and we waited over half an hour without knowing whether they would arrive.
