1-star Google reviewJamie5 years ago
The packing team sent to my house today has left us horrified! Simply put they were rude and treated our goods like garbage. The worst part was walking into the kitchen tonight to find shattered glass all over the floor underneath and around the already boxes up glassware!!!! I am glad my spouse and I found it instead of our 1 and 3 yr old. Now I have to wait till we arrive at our duty location to figure out what broke. I guess we better wear thick gloves to unbox.

Horrible experience. Uncommunicative, had no idea when they were going to show up and finally came at noon after waiting all morning. Threw belongings everywhere and called it “unpacking,” left food waste in the garage. Avoid if at all possible.

I was doing a military move, and Central was contracted to perform the delivery and unpacking of my household goods on 8/3/20. I was the second of apparently four jobs for the day for the crew (consisting of a manager and two movers), and …

We had the pleasure of having Jose, Antony, Juan, and Noé for our move. They laid out mats so they wouldn’t track dirt into our new place, and they moved everything carefully and efficiently. They were all very kind and professional as they set up furniture and helped us move in. I would highly recommend this team. :)

Had great help from Jose, Giovany, and Zac. They contacted me and arrived within the expected time frame. Communication was good in terms of when they expected to arrive as well as what was going to be packed up. Seemed very professional and explained the process well as this is my first time having a company move my stuff for me. I appreciate the help

Jose, Antony, Juan, and Noe were absolutely fantastic—professional, respectful, and incredibly hardworking. No matter how many hours the job required, they remained compassionate with our belongings and consistently driven to do the best job possible. Their attention to detail and positive attitudes made a stressful process so much smoother. I wholeheartedly recommend this team to everyone in my community and beyond, whether it’s a big move or a small one.

Had a great experience with my movers Nathan, Axel, and Jerry! They were able to pack and load on the same day and were extremely thorough making sure everything was properly protected. They worked quickly and made sure that they didn’t damage the floors, walls, or anything else in my apartment. I felt totally comfortable leaving them to do their thing while I stepped away for a while. Thanks so much for taking great care of my things and making my move easy!
