Negative Exela Movers Reviews

Yelp

"Our move was 3 miles within the city but wasn't as stress free as hoped...one mover was rude, broke vases, cracked bed, didn't disassemble furniture, and left stuff behind. Took 5 hours longer than estimated."

Yelp

"Very slow moving. Was told no hidden fees, but the final cost was unexpectedly high. Owner was aggressive when I called to ask. Lost my business forever."

Neutral Exela Movers Reviews

Yelp

"Full and honest review: Exela had the cheapest rates. Everything arrived in good condition, no damage whatsoever. This was likely because it took much more time than most movers, which made up for the cheap rates."

Yelp

"The movers were on time, friendly, and arranging was easy. But they were careless with items we were donating, ripped a couch, broke a chair leg. Director later apologized and provided a refund."
