Review Analysis
Roy’s Moving receives high marks from customers for its efficient service, professional and polite staff, careful handling of belongings, a fast moving process, and affordable rates. Feedback highlights friendly movers who handle items with care and keep things organized, making moves stress-free and well-priced. On the downside, more than half the feedback details frequent reports of damaged items, lost or missing possessions, and some late arrivals or deliveries. Some clients warn of issues with insurance claims, accountability, and customer service follow-up when things go wrong. Compared to similar companies, Roy’s excels in speed and staff professionalism but falls short in reliability and resolving significant customer complaints. In total, 42 reviews were analyzed with 47.6% reporting positive experiences.
