Negative Elite Movers Reviews
Bradley O'neal, Google
We were charged more than the stated hourly rate, and Richard stopped returning calls when I questioned it. The move also damaged walls and hardwood floors.
Stacey Karetnyi, Google
Elite misquoted my inventory and packing fees, and I was charged double upon arrival because the inventory was not communicated accurately.
Laura Khokhar, Google
They overbooked and arrived five hours late. The estimator made a mistake; the movers were exhausted when they arrived.
