Negative Optimus Moving Services Reviews
Yelp
"I am overall not happy with this service and the employees that were sent for the move. Furniture pads were not used. My furniture is so badly dented, nicked, scraped, scratched, and overall ruined."
Yelp
"Worst moving company I've ever used. Had to patch 15-20 holes in my stairway from poor handling. We are also missing a new 50" television. Our furniture was wrapped in plastic wrap and not blankets."
Yelp
"Service, cost, expertise: The reviews either lied or I got a bad crew. I ended up working myself and way overpaid. Misquoted my move, paid double, and had scratches and holes in walls."
Neutral Optimus Moving Services Reviews
Yelp
"They arrive at 130 and wrapped everything and moved everything to the storage unit by 5pm. The guys could have been moving a bit faster as they moved quite slow but they didn't damage any walls or floors from what I can see."
Yelp
"The whole ordeal was not easy peasy as i would have thought. a couple issues at the beginning with timing and at the end with them refusing to pack mattress box so for that reason i can't give 5 stars to this place. 3 stars is for how the men performed during the move."
Yelp
"When we arrived at my new place, I felt like they were pretty efficient. Unfortunately, not everything was unwrapped and it seemed a little sloppy. This experience wasn't entirely positive, and my biggest thing was that I felt like they were dragging their feet at the old apartment."
