Negative BoxStar Movers Reviews
Nicole Finegan, Google
The move took 13 hours, and 90% of our belongings were left in the garage, basement, and main floor instead of their marked bedrooms. A month later, I was still relocating boxes.
Michelle Lu, Google
Furniture and kitchen items were damaged. After I filed a claim, I was told someone would respond within 7–10 days, but five weeks passed without a response despite two follow-up calls.
Wine glasses were packed on their sides, and about half shattered. Other fragile items were placed under heavier things, while many boxes were poorly filled and collapsed.
