Negative Oz Moving & Storage, Inc. Reviews
Yelp
Simply the worse. They made a stressful experience even more stressful. All crew members were careless with both the furniture and apartments. Over half of our furniture pieces were damaged in one way or another—just heartbreaking.
Had a very poor moving experience with Oz. Only 2 contractors showed up when 3 had been promised. Boxes and furniture were damaged; aggressive reaction to our complaints. Difficult and unresponsive to resolve.
Ashley Roach, Google
Whoever lamar is was very rude when I inquired about a 2 room move. He was very rude because I did not agree with the price... Wouldn't recommend them to anyone.
