Negative Lehto's Relocation Services Reviews
The driver arrived late, caused a backup of troop leaders. When we tried to help speed things up, the driver yelled at us and became aggressive. This is the most disorganized trucking company I have ever seen.

Lehto shipped my belongings from New York to Germany. It took 3 months, and I had to contact their partners myself to track my stuff. Poor communication throughout the process.
