Negative Samba Moving Reviews
Xavier Fernandez, Google
The crew abandoned the job, leaving me waiting seven hours for an emergency crew. They severely damaged my refrigerator, which became unusable, and my belongings were held overnight.
michelle shi, Google
The movers arrived close to on time but damaged multiple items and laughed it off. They rushed me into signing before leaving, even when I asked about the damage.
Monica Isabel Casanova, Google
For a long-distance move, the pickup was pushed back two weeks, delivery dates changed repeatedly, and the final cost was unclear. The frontline movers were professional and quick.
