Yelp
"Not only did they severely damage and break several high value items but they also lost/stole several of these items too. I did purchase separate insurance...they denied my claim without reason. Do not trust these incompetent crooks if you're having them move anything of value."
"Minus -5 stars! Every day we are finding broken items. We had them store our furniture for approx 16 days and then deliver. SO MANY ITEMS DAMAGED. ITEMS MISSING and NOT DELIVERED AND THEY CAN'T FIND THEM."
Yelp
"I used Aviv moving for my long distance move...they took almost a month to deliver my stuff since they combine a lot of moves...and on top of that they did not sent my TV...50 inch flat screen TV was not delivered...my TV finally came broken."
Neutral Aviv Moving & Storage Reviews
"Overall the experience was OK but towards the end, I realized couple of issues are not right: not enough equipment, partial wrapping, some furniture damaged, minor dishonesty with billing. Company tried to resolve, partial compensation."
"The move was pretty painless. That said, to my surprise, they broke my desk and instead of coming clean and at least leaving the broken part, it disappeared and they didn't put it together so I wouldn't notice till after they had left."
