Chad, Jhostyn, and Brian were hardworking, careful, patient, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. They took great care of our belongings and were respectful of our sick baby.
Negative Black Tie Moving Reviews
Alexis Nixon, Google
Do not recommend!! They were almost 4hrs behind schedule; we ended up canceling and had a hassle getting confirmation of refund.
Yelp
We had furniture damaged (bookshelf, foyer table, floor lamp), drywall damaged, and items missed from our storage room. Worst of all, there was no response from the operations manager.
Laura Jones, Google
I paid for 3 movers plus a full kitchen pack. The crew arrived without packing supplies, one walked off, and another sat in the truck for well over an hour. The driver loudly complained in my home.
Neutral Black Tie Moving Reviews
Yelp
The main office was really easy to talk to and deal with, but our experience with the moving crew was disappointing. The team left a lot of work for us to do and communicated poorly.
Yelp
Very polite group of people to work with, quoted a fair price, and we even paid less. We still cannot find a few items, and several pieces had scratches.
Austin Monsrud, Google
They arrived nearly seven hours late. Billing was opaque, and the movers were unprofessional and damaged the surfaces of our bed frame and dining table.
