1-star Google reviewNatalie C.2 years ago
This was a very upsetting experience dealing with this moving company. Had a delivery scheduled for wednesday. Specified time constraints several times before confirming and scheduling the delivery and those were ignored and completely disregarded. They attempted to then send a new team over after delaying and when they arrived at the first location to move the item, they instead left because they were not equipped enough to handle the move.

Natalie, As clearly outlined in your confirmation email, sent 6/6/24 at 3:05pm, the arrival time of our crew would be between 11am-2pm. As much as we wish we could give … More

Unfortunately I can't recommend this company. It came so very highly recommended but they did anything but handle us or our belongings with care. We have done several cross country moves and this time several of our items were completely broken and unusable. Things were also lost. I repeatedly asked for an itemized list of our belongings and never got one. Maybe they're good with small, local moves. But if you're making a big move, go with someone else.

I would strongly caution against hiring this company. There are many more movers in Ann Arbor to choose from. This is the first time I have written a negative review on Google or any other platform. Ordinarily I promote businesses I've had a good experience with and ignore the others. In this case, when I paid in full for the hauling service --- with the assurance that the damage the movers had done to my house would be fixed -- I was bullied and given the run-around by the manager.

Our track record speaks for itself. You hired our Clutter Hauler service to get rid of sofa. You knew the item in your home was assembled in the room and insisted that you can not remember how it got there and told the crew that it was … More

1-star Google reviewKellen L.3 years ago
The estimate I was provided served to be fully false. I was charged for three movers for a full day when one fell sick and left an hour into the move. I just want the public to be aware- I moved a 645 square foot apt (minus the kitchen! Which I was told to be the most extensive part of any move) into my new home. My total cost for a small one bedroom minus the entire kitchen ended up with a total of $1,831.50. My estimate was nearly half this amount. This hit me hard, mentally and financially.

I had a terrible time scheduling an estimate with this company. I gave them 4 options for days when I was available, and they came back with a 5th option which didn't really work for me. In the process of trying to reschedule that appointment, the owner started an argument with me. If you're a woman who expects to be listened to and treated with respect, then take your business elsewhere. Dodged a bullet.

I was very disappointed with the service provided. We recently completed a move with them and they loaded white dining chairs without putting a blanket on them, damaged the chairs. The owner is disrespectful to interact with, and un-empathetic.

Their name couldn't be further from the truth. They never came out for their site inspection, quoting me 3 hours, then billed me for 6 when it took longer than their estimate. Between not wrapping my furniture against damage during the …

Far from handling things with care. They put 2 holes in my house that I was moving out of and dented a whole wall in my brand new just built home. We also used their storage for 3 months and came back with some broken items and missing …

Although a report of damage is rare with our company, we do have a proper protocol for such incidents, which was addressed as follows. In an effort to accommodate the families frugal budget, and time constraints, our crews worked as efficiently as possible.

Three strong men arrived to move me to a senior living community. They were friendly, thoughtful, hard-working, and personable. Not a scratch or dent and everything moved along with smart sequencing and good humor. They were experienced and worked as a team. The best!
