On time, professional, efficient, friendly, helpful team, and my experience was this way from the point of my initial contact.
Negative Greater Dayton Moving & Storage Reviews
Movers were good but not careful enough; front office staff did not listen and were poor communicators. They have not responded about a broken TV, despite promising to get back to us.
Yelp
Very unprofessional. Arrived late and did not pack items properly, so they broke items in transit.
Delivery of my household goods was two weeks late. They said they would pick up the boxes in a few days, but it took another three weeks and they could not take them.
Neutral Greater Dayton Moving & Storage Reviews
Not so happy with this place. They told me one price over the phone, then when I came in it ended up being more.
