Negative Tri-State Moving & Storage Reviews
"This company doesn’t even deserve a 1 star rating. Very unprofessional and inconsiderate of clients time (ran late to the move after calling and saying they would be there within 25 minutes more like an hour) and have no problem cussing you out to sign a contract when the work is halfway done. Wouldn’t move my stuff unless I paid in full at the unloading site before even moving my furniture off the truck and boosted the payment and hours to complete the moving job only after finishing within the original scheduled time."
"Our total end being over $1300 (like it was a full house or moving between apartments without elevator). The movers were friendly, however were extremely slow to move things in and out of the apartment. It should not take 8 hours to move a 2 bedroom apartment or take 30 minutes to get to a place that is less than 10 minutes away. The person that picked up the phone was very rude and had no interest in listening to what I had to say."
"Quoted $129 for a minimum of 2 hours (move was for one bedroom set to a home less than 10 miles away). Movers did not show on 12/17. Move rescheduled to 12/28. Movers arrived 30 minutes after quoted arrival time. Job was completed in 90 minutes; and I was charged $496. The representative on the phone was extremely unprofessional."
Neutral Tri-State Moving & Storage Reviews
"Moving during Covid is stressful for both customer and company. My experience was mixed but here are the majors: (1) The movers were nice and worked hard. (2) The manager was challenging to work with and did not initially respond to or acknowledge my concerns about some damages. It took more time and effort than needed but there was some resolution. (3) With TriState, you have to pay before they unload furniture."
