Customers frequently praised their efficient service, careful handling of items, professional staff, strong communication, and noted frequent personal recommendations.

Negative feedback focused mainly on lost or missing items, property damage, and lack of follow-up, issues which are flagged more often than with similar local companies. Some complaints related to communication lapses or delayed issue resolutions. Neutral feedback highlighted procedural missteps, unexpected extra costs, and areas where more transparent communication could improve the experience.
