Wendling C., Yelp
Their teams are seasoned professionals, respectful, careful, and nice to have around. Jared was understanding and helpful when I needed to change my dates.
Negative Economy Movers & Storage Inc Reviews
Yelp
We had several pieces damaged in the move, and some things were missing. Very disappointed and would not recommend.
Yelp
The quote was done incorrectly, so my final cost was a shock. The movers also left loads of stuff behind.
A reasonable quote ended up costing a lot more. A piece of furniture was broken, and nearly a year later it still had not been fixed.
Neutral Economy Movers & Storage Inc Reviews
Yelp
Everything was moved beautifully, and the guys were friendly, easygoing, and hardworking. We were charged about a full extra hour, including drive time and a break.
Really nice guys and efficient. A lot of the furniture ended up damaged even though they wrapped it.
Yelp
They left two items behind, and I was overcharged. Check the house and bill before the truck leaves.
