Negative Red's Transfer & Storage Inc. Reviews
Almost every single piece of our furniture was damaged or dirty. Items were scratched, broken, and some went missing. Packing was horrible.
Called several times; told they'd get back to us but never did. Not a single return call. Ended up choosing another company.
