The office was flexible when I changed move dates, and the movers were friendly, professional, and careful with my furniture.
Negative Mabey's Moving & Storage Reviews
Nikolaos De Maria, Google
Almost nothing was unscratched or unbroken. Furniture, dishes, and both apartments were damaged, and several personal items were lost. The premium price felt like a budget experience.
Alyssa Pierson, Google
Mabey’s changed my quote from non-binding to binding without explaining it. I paid for an inflated 9,000-pound estimate even though the shipment weighed 8,000 pounds, and everything arrived with major smoke damage.
Samantha Brown, Google
The estimate did not include overnight holding, the invoice had the wrong price, and a $67 credit-card fee was never disclosed. A table was also damaged during the move.
Neutral Mabey's Moving & Storage Reviews
Aron Winter, Google
The crew seemed rushed, and fragile items ended up under heavier boxes despite my labels. The move was completed, but several items had dents, dings, and breaks.
Yelp
Pros: staff were friendly and responsive, and management addressed damage. Cons: delivery took 22 days, furniture was not wrapped as promised, and shuttle service was expensive.
Ginger DeLaney, Google
The crew arrived on time and worked quickly and efficiently. The move was not yet complete, but Chuck’s experience was clear.
