Review Analysis
Powell Relocation Group receives standout feedback, with 221 customer input sources analyzed and 94.6% describing a positive experience. Most praise highlights the movers' professionalism, careful handling, quick and efficient process, strong communication, and timely deliveries.

On the flip side, a small but consistent minority reported issues involving property damage, delayed deliveries, and lackluster communication when resolving problems or claims. Compared to others in the moving industry, Powell’s positive feedback is notably higher, but the negative feedback stresses the importance of reliable claims support and timely, honest updates during unexpected issues.
