Lloyds Transfer
"This review is long overdue, since we had Lloyd's move us from one state to another in June 2017, but better late than never. First of all, whoever is in charge of hiring at Lloyd's should get a gold star. Everyone we dealt with - from Reuben the ..."

Appalachian Movers

Harrisburg Storage Company
"We were moving 15 minutes away .They were to bring only the large items. We made this move once before. We knew now long it would take. It took them 6 1/2 hours to move what should of been one trip from house to house. There wasn't that much stuff..."
NK Movers
