The estimate was spot on to the actual, $103 less. On moving day, the team did a great job caring for our furniture and possessions, ensuring items were moved without damage.
Brian was responsive, answered my many questions, and accommodated our concerns. The dispatcher called the day before to confirm, and the crew was punctual, courteous, and careful.
The estimate was reasonable and upfront and there were no hidden or incremental fees. The team was friendly, professional, and more efficient than I could have asked for.
Negative Simonik Moving & Storage, Inc. Reviews
The movers broke our dining room table and charged an additional hour over the original estimate. We filed a claim, but it was denied, and the company took no accountability.
I was given an estimate of about $2,600, but the total became $3,200 after my items were already in storage. I was told new fees and a second-floor apartment caused the increase.
Yelp
They gave me a guaranteed estimate of about $12,000, then said my shipment weighed 4,000 pounds more and demanded another $3,500; at delivery, the weight was 850 pounds lower.
Neutral Simonik Moving & Storage, Inc. Reviews
Sales staff were nice, and movers were polite and quick, but a few boxes were crushed and some items were left on the truck. The driver later found the missing shop vac.
They showed up on time and moved our stuff for a fair price, but they bumped many items into walls. One crew member also made an inappropriate comment.
