Town & Country Movers and Storage
"Very disappointed in this company. After paying them over 29,000.00 for moving out of one home, in storage for 1 1/2 yrs, and moving into another home, we had issues with them over damages. Although we paid for insurance coverage, in the end, they..."
L&J Moving and Storage
"We have moved no fewer than 10 times within the past 25 years — all with reputable moving companies. This moving company, without a doubt, was the worst mover we have ever used and I warn all those considering using this mover to stay away. Highli..."
Mambo Movers
"Unless you are a highly organized person who knows the rudiments of moving and can handle them well, do not use Mambo Movers. They have attitude and they will leave you out in the cold. They are not the friendliest bunch, they are only there to ..."

American Moving and Storage
"Do not use this company. They had me take off work early to meet them at my house for an accurate estimate so they could see what they would be moving. They never showed, they never called, they wouldn’t answer or didn’t return my voicemail. I tal..."
Next stop movers
"WORST MOVING EXPERIENCE EVER. I ACTUALLY THINK THESE GUYS ARE SCAMMERS. 1. They only sent 1 guy to move an 8 room house 2. The truck they sent was too small, and we needed to throw out 2K of our stuff! 3. They charged 1,200 for 2 weeks of stora..."
