"Terrible experience! Completely mismanaged time, not enough workers and so many broken things!! We were grossly overcharged for the service and care received."
Edgar Gonzalez, Google
"Worst moving experience ever. The crew was unbelievably slow—it took them three hours just to bring down 11 items. My family and I had to step in and carry bins ourselves."
Samidha, Google
"Unfortunately during our move with this company we’ve had over $10,000 worth of valuables end up 'missing'. In addition during my move, the movers dropped and broke my desk, were found taking long breaks, and left my furniture unattended."
Neutral Square Cow Reviews
Lauren Russell, Google
"The movers were nice and personable but it took them 3-4 hours just to load up the truck with my 1 bedroom apartment. I was quoted 2-3 hours and ended up at more than 7 by the end."
Ali Khan, Google
"Used this service to move my partner’s stuff. The movers took about 45 minutes to load the truck and then 2 hours to unload into storage. Things were packed haphazardly."
Yelp
"The reason for the 3 stars, is at the end of the job I was told there is a $30 fee for using AMEX. That would of been useful info when I booked the move."
