"They broke a Cadenza and never offered to pay. Lost so many things, including tools and kitchenware. So many little things missing after the move. Do not recommend."
"Had major damage to antique furniture, boxes smashed, careless loading. Furniture scratched or dented. Job cost $2,000 over the original quote. Utter lack of packing knowledge."
"Quoted us one price but increased it before finishing unloading and threatened to sell our furniture unless we paid extra. Unprofessional and predatory behavior."

Our summary of Payless Moving Inc.
Moving doesn't have to be a hassle—just ask those who used Payless Moving Inc. Out of 174 customer reports reviewed, about 82% offered positive remarks. Customers highlight the team's professionalism, efficiency, careful approach, fast-moving nature, and budget-conscious pricing. Many note that belongings were handled with care and movers were courteous throughout the process. Still, some experienced serious drawbacks: damage to items was the single most common complaint, followed by underestimated quotes that led to unexpected costs, and delays in arrivals or delivery. These concerns, while less frequent, stand out more in comparison to similar moving companies, where hidden charges and damages can turn a move sour. Feedback also points out that though pricing is transparent for many, issues arise when estimates are off. In summary, most people report a smooth, reliable, and cost-effective move with polite, fast teams, but a small but notable segment faced costly mishaps or timing problems that need improvement.
