Negative Apple Moving Reviews
When we finally received our things, so many items were broken and they even lost my husbands tool box with ALL his tools. I’ve also noticed many other things missing. Highly disappointing
Sarah Troy, Google
Things were just thrown into boxes without proper packaging. The moving company lost part of our couch and about 8 boxes, leaving us unsure what is missing.
The crew was the most unprofessional and lazy group of individuals I have encountered. They damaged our brand new floors, were rude and disrespectful, and failed to complete the job.
