Negative ACE Moving & Storage Reviews

Chris Kwaramba, Google

"Our experience with Ace was a nightmare. Unprofessional, careless movers, lost jewelry, damaged floors and furniture. Management didn't help. Wouldn't recommend this company to anyone."

Google

"Update: still 6 months later and I can't get most of the items fixed on the original list of damaged goods. They sent one person out, but larger items not repaired. They have now washed their hands of responsibility."

Estelle S., Yelp

"Movers did a great job, but Peter was very condescending and threatened to hold belongings unless paid immediately. Very rude and unprofessional service."

Neutral ACE Moving & Storage Reviews

Google

"I booked a move for 9am, called to change to 1pm but drivers showed up at 9. They waited, wanted to charge for wait time. Had to assemble some furniture myself at 70."

Google

"As I watched the two men helping us unload, I felt they were moving slowly and might be trying to increase time spent. They were careful, but not as fast as other movers."

Yelp

"Nice guys. Reliable. Way overpriced. Wish I had researched other companies. The time spent moving furniture versus price was excessive."
