Negative Stewart Moving & Storage Reviews

The movers were nice, but a 75-inch TV was broken. My claim took 64 days, and the offered compensation was far below the $450 I requested.
Jessica Young, Google
A crate was mislabeled, so I received another family’s items. One entire crate of my belongings was missing, possibly sent to Japan.
Elliot Browning, Google
Items were left outside and partially unpacked, furniture was incompletely assembled, and the crew left boxes and debris. Staff became defensive when I raised concerns.
Neutral Stewart Moving & Storage Reviews
Cristina Breseno, Google
The crew was swift and gentle, but they packed open food and cleaning supplies, missed kitchen drawers, and needed clearer instructions. They completed the job, though it was not the best experience.
Byron Ogden, Google
Management communication was frustrating, but driver Will and his crew worked hard, arranged the loading and unloading, and fulfilled my requests.
Roumen Gueorguiev, Google
The truck entered Commerce and left on Douglas. The route was very tight, and the crew was very careful around nails.
