Over half of the 39 reviews praised efficient, friendly crews and described flexibility with last-minute changes. Many remarked that staff went out of their way to make stressful moves less overwhelming, carefully handling property, providing responsive help, and being courteous. On the flip side, nearly 44% reported serious problems: repeated complaints about items lost or going missing, damage to personal property during the move, and frustration reaching the company for solutions. Missing boxes and unresolved damage claims came up much more often here than with typical moving companies. Although many experienced a smooth process with responsive staff, the frequency of mishandled items and poor follow-up sets this business apart from industry standards for reliability.
