Review Analysis
Carey Moving & Storage delivers standout moving experiences, with more than 80% of input showing satisfied customers. Feedback highlights professional, courteous staff, careful handling of belongings, efficient and helpful moving crews, and prompt communication. Customers consistently cite team members’ politeness, attention to detail, and speedy service as reasons they recommend the company.
On the other hand, some people report significant concerns—chiefly damage to possessions, missing items, and episodes of unprofessional conduct. A handful of users faced lost or broken valuables without complete compensation, and some noted chaotic service or lack of follow-up on claims. Compared to other movers, Carey receives higher-than-average praise for staff professionalism and helpfulness, but negative experiences with property care and claims handling set them back for a small segment of users. Out of 115 reviews analyzed, these pros and cons clearly establish where Carey excels and where improvements are most needed.
