Gabrielle Prescod, Google
They were organized, prompt, fast, and delicate. This is my third time using them and I wouldn't trust anyone else to move me.
Neal Singal, Google
Bojan kept me informed throughout the move and made sure everything was set up properly. The crew packed and unpacked everything with care.
sonia cantos, Google
They arrived 15 minutes early, texted to let us know, and placed all belongings exactly where we wanted them.
Negative Roadway Moving Reviews
Nan, Google
10/10 for the physical movers, 0/10 for office staff. Delivery updates were inaccurate, customer service was hard to reach, and items were damaged in transit.
Ben Parker, Google
We received a higher price than expected, delayed delivery, crushed boxes, and at least four missing boxes.
N. Viswanathan, Google
An irreplaceable box of family heirlooms was lost during an interstate move, and the company gave no satisfactory resolution.
Neutral Roadway Moving Reviews
Gabrielle Gayles, Google
They broke my bed and lost two screws, but filing a claim and getting reimbursed was extremely easy and quick.
Yelp
They were on time and nice, but expensive; they damaged a vintage nightstand, mirror frame, and file cabinet, then initially denied responsibility.
Yelp
The pickup and delivery crews were professional, but office communication was poor and conflicting during the cross-country delivery.
