Review Analysis
Moving day stories at Dumbo Moving and Storage highlight both standout service and sharp disappointments. Out of 149 customer inputs, 47% praised quick and efficient moves, careful and professional teams, transparent billing, and reliable protection of belongings. Many customers valued straightforward pricing, responsive staff, and moves handled with speed and respect.
On the flip side, 53% of feedback pointed to frequent surprise costs, property damage, and experiences with rude or unprofessional staff. Some mentioned belongings arrived broken or missing, while others faced aggressive upselling, unclear charges, or poor communication. Unlike top-rated competitors that shine in reliability and clear quoting, Dumbo often left clients battling overcharges or seeking compensation for damaged goods. This gap between efficiency and accountability stands out sharply in comparison to other movers in the area.
