Negative Preferred Movers Reviews
Yelp
Very disappointing experiences. Did not show to scheduled move at 8:00am, with no call or text. I had to track down the owner, who guaranteed they would show between 1:00–3:00pm.
Paulette Martel, Google
First I was told it would take 4-5 days for delivery, then 8-9 days, then 12-13 days. By the time my furniture arrived, boxes were badly damaged, a dresser bureau was destroyed, and several rips were under a box spring.
Clara H., Yelp
Many items were misplaced, and the job was incomplete. A fragile box containing ceramic bowls was broken, and two chair mats, a rug, and a mat were left behind.
