I had several email communications with these movers to schedule a move and it was a very difficult experience. My questions were answered with completely unrelated statements that made no sense.
Yelp
Awful! Took forever to move; they would disappear when they were loading. They increased the hourly charges, damaged pieces and floors, and the estimate was way off.
