Not impressed. Damaged my washer, beat up my walls, didn’t load half the stuff. Had to move rest myself. Will go back to using another mover in future.
They showed up 1.5 hours late and took almost double the estimated time. I had to help unload. Company never called back to resolve my complaint. Not happy.
