Negative Moving Buddy Reviews
Lisa Bowersock, Google
Moving Buddy was nearly a 30% markup from the movers’ final bill, even though the quote did not match the bill. The transparent charges aren’t really transparent, so understand every charge.
Victoria L, Google
They charged me 50 dollars for a TV box made from other boxes and duct tape. I tried calling about the charges but received no phone call back.
