Ken N., Yelp
The cost, including overnight storage, was hundreds less than the other estimates we got. My family was very happy with the service we received from 3E.
Heather MacLean, Google
We had a very good experience with 3E moving. They packed up our items, stored it for us, and then delivered our items. They were very flexible when we had to change our move-in date.
Paula F., Yelp
We have used this moving company three times in the past three months. They were consistent for service, speed, on-time arrival, politeness, and professionalism. The cost was consistent with the estimate.
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.
