Negative Northcoast Moving Inc. Reviews
"From staining our white couches to losing all our bedside lamps, to hidden, poorly communicated fees, Northcoast Moving really does everything to make sure your move is as pleasant as putting your head through a concrete wall."
"After hiring NorthCoast, many items were missing and some furniture arrived infested. Claims were denied, and requests for help ignored. We're out thousands. Choose another company."
"Don’t even think about it. Lost things, scratched furniture, dirty couches, poor estimate, and final price much higher than quoted. Not recommended."
Neutral Northcoast Moving Inc. Reviews
"Solid job overall. Two complaints: took lunch without telling me (waited 45 minutes), and broke my hand railing due to not fully disassembling my headboard first. I don't think I would use them again."
Yelp
"Did a good job moving the stuff, but movers got lost for 30 minutes and I was billed for that, even though transit time was already charged separately. A little dissatisfied with the billing practice."
