Negative Southside Moving and Storage Reviews
Stephen Meyers, Google
I paid to have a piano moved, they were unable to move it but still charged me $100 for their costs incurred. The crew was friendly, but the home office provided terrible customer service.
Greg Turpin, Google
They broke my television and refused to address the damage. I called several times, but over ten days later I had not received any communication from Southside Moving and Storage.
Kimberly Scott, Google
To say these gentlemen moved slowly would be an understatement. They damaged multiple walls, broke a leg on my dining room table, and broke a support bar on my couch. Our beds were not reassembled completely.
Neutral Southside Moving and Storage Reviews
B C, Google
I had two great moves last year, but a junk-removal quote included unclear moving, travel, fuel, equipment, and debris fees. When I asked for clarification, the response was rude and confusing.
Missy V., Google
The packing was a disaster; only one person was qualified. The moving crew was the polar opposite and did a great job. I recommend using them only for moving.
Sue Doyle, Google
The crew was fast, courteous, and organized, but we later found scratches, broken furniture pieces, missing glass, and a wall gash. We felt some damage was hidden.
