Many highlight quick moving processes and friendly, organized crews who often go above expectations. Some reviewers say their move cost less than anticipated and items always arrived safe. A few even report the crew made an otherwise stressful day feel easy. While most describe positive outcomes, close to one in five cite concerns.
