Ray and Alfonso were incredibly helpful: they assembled my furniture, opened all boxes, and took them back down within 2.5 hours. They were kind and extremely professional.
Negative Corrigan Moving Systems Reviews
Eo O., Yelp
Over $2,500 worth of items were damaged or lost, including a television, chairs, and a cantilever umbrella. A bed could not be assembled because parts were missing, and the company offered only $500.
Alexandra Aiello, Google
They packed dirty dishes, trash bags, and other items I had asked them not to pack. I received too many boxes and had trouble finding my belongings.
Moved from NY to Florida. We were overcharged $500, and boxes were crushed after dressers were turned on their sides. A promised refund never arrived, and the company did not respond.
