The rating breakdown

Worked out from 36 ratings. That is enough to publish but few enough that one more review moves it noticeably, so read it as a hint rather than a measurement.

In their own words
They are scammers took me and my sick child for 2600.00 threats to drive away with your furniture if you don’t pay cash as soon as they arrive damaged most of my furniture quote was 1500-1700. Come to find out they didn’t even clean my apartment out damaged my townhouse. Missing several items Do Not Get. I will be taking to court 😡😡 damaged over $30,000 did not complete. The job left half of it at the townhouse have pictures if anybody would like to see them and video of their work.
Horrible service and scammers, they picked a coach up for me and delivered it in pieces and left. The coach was fully put together when arrive to pick up coach. Didn’t arrive one time, horrible business conduct DO NOT RECOMMEND
We're sorry to hear that you feel this way, as this does not reflect the experience our team had on the day of your move. Our crew drove approximately two hours to complete your delivery, and the total charge for the service was only $200, which had been agreed upon in advance.
