Positive Intense Movers Reviews
Carissa G., Yelp
Intense Movers were very responsive and offered very competitive pricing. The move was scheduled for last weekend when a terrible storm was forecast so we offered to postpone the move to yesterday. Intense Movers were very flexible and accommodating.
Rose Nagle-Yndigoyen, Google
Their communication was professional and clear throughout. No surprises on pricing, everything lined out and very transparent throughout. On the day, the guys were prompt, friendly, and focused.
Gnagna Mbaye, Google
We've used them three times now, and each experience has been outstanding. Their rates are very competitive, communication is prompt and professional, and they're always flexible when plans or details change.
Negative Intense Movers Reviews
Ryan Williams, Google
However, on my last move, they not only damaged some of my furniture and didn't disclose it, they apparently didn't unpack or somehow lost on a simple A to B move all the shelves to my bookcase and TV unit.
Kate C., Yelp
They damaged three valuable pieces of furniture and my apartment wall pretty badly. When I brought these issues to management, I was ignored for weeks and breadcrumbed along for about a month with no final resolution.
James Yoon, Google
When the mover mentions the tip/pay several times during the move, it really ruins the dynamic and comes across tacky.
