Many users value the caution movers take with furniture and property, considering it a standout traitโ€”something not always found with other companies.

Yet, about one-third of feedback reports damage to items, unresolved complaints, or unexpected extra charges. These users describe frustration with property damage, difficulties in reaching support, or claims that dragged on without resolution, issues echoed less often by competitors. Some experienced movers arriving late, providing confusing bills, or showing a lack of follow-through on fixing problems. While a strong majority had satisfying moves, those needing reliable claims service or expecting problem-free delivery should weigh these repeated concerns.
