Negative Central Van & Storage, Inc. Reviews
The moving services provided by this company are terrible. They don't return phone calls and are completely disorganized. The truck was two hours late to load and wasn't big enough to fit everything. They wanted to come back another day!
Quoted me over 4,000 for a 2,000-square-foot home from Milton to Mineral Wells. I packed everything and moved my own TVs, yet they charged extra for boxing and moving them. Will never recommend or do business with.
