Negative Anton's Moving Company Reviews
Kellyn Rivero, Google
I paid nearly $8,000 in total for a move that was originally quoted at approximately $1,700. The company repeatedly mixed up our moves and charged me for items and services that were never used.
Ritwik Sinha, Google
They charged twice of the upper end of the quote—$3K instead of the $1.3K–$1.5K quoted range. They took a 1.5-hour break but claimed it was 45 minutes, and moved really slowly.
Niamh O'Mahoney, Google
After discovering multiple items damaged to the extent they are unusable, I spent six weeks trying to get any sort of help. The $200 refund covered maybe 10–15% of replacement costs.
Neutral Anton's Moving Company Reviews
Lindsay E, Google
Anton’s was easy to book and setup. The team showed up on time and was very polite. However, I would not use them again as the move took much longer than anticipated: over 9 hours instead of 6-7.
Stephanie Yang, Google
Very efficient, professional, and arrived on time. The move took less than two hours and it was clear that they knew what they were doing. One of my lamps broke and my piano keyboard was chipped.
Yelp
They quickly moved my stuff, but a bookshelf broke and a full-length mirror is missing. They gave a 15-minute discount for the broken bookshelf.
