Positive Black Tie Moving Reviews
"Movers were friendly and efficient. Wrapped furniture and were careful with my possessions. Office staff explained all aspects and pricing. Would (and do) highly recommend!"
"They moved quickly, but handled our items with care, especially on a rainy afternoon. Put blankets over the door and around the threshold. Would definitely use Two Men and a Truck again."
"From scheduling to the actual move, Two Men was awesome. The moving guys worked almost 11 hours and never lost positive attitudes. Amazing experience every time."
Negative Black Tie Moving Reviews
"Significant damage to wood floors, furniture broken, and walls damaged. Only half the items moved were wrapped. Two Men and a Truck stated they aren't liable for this damage."
"Multiple items were damaged and missing. Paid extra for insurance, but missing items weren't covered. Told to file a police report instead of the company resolving it."
"Their quote kept changing—total price ended up much higher than discussed. My daughter paid much more than expected after a simple one-bedroom move. No follow-through on promised refund."
Neutral Black Tie Moving Reviews
"Service was well priced. Moving team was quick and efficient, but broke the handle off a freezer and had some other damages. Called the office but have not heard back."
"Movers were polite and professional. Unfortunately, two items were broken beyond repair, others scuffed. Scratched walls during the move. We were reimbursed but too many damages to recommend."
"Not happy with these people...Moving guys were great. Company charged more than I'd paid a few months earlier, even as a repeat customer. Try elsewhere for better hourly rates."
