Customer Highlights

May 18, 2026

I was impressed by how smoothly everything.

I was impressed by how smoothly everything went during my move. The crew arrived right on time and knew exactly what to do from the start. They handled parking, paperwork, and unloading without needing any help from me. Everything was done quietly and efficiently. It’s rare to see that kind of preparation and teamwork these days.

FRAUD

Went in for extractions. When I arrive rhe dentist sees the xrays and advises he cannot do it because it is impacted. I'm sorry but your office took the xrays, why weren't they reviewed before my appt and advised before losing my day off having to find an oral surgeon to take me when I'm in pain. Had they reviewed it and told me last week I would have been able to have made appt with an oral surgeon than wasting my day with no help or relief!

The movers were very rude and unprofessional;

The truck they used for my move was filthy. When they unloaded my belongings, I noticed a thick layer of dust on my furniture, and my white couch had dark smudges all over it. They obviously didn’t clean the truck before my move, which is unprofessional.

Do not use!!! Beware!!

On moving day, the crew showed up almost four hours late. I was sitting in my half-packed apartment wondering if they were going to show up. When they finally arrived, they looked unprepared—no uniforms, no proper equipment—and it felt like they had been thrown together last minute. The foreman barely spoke to me and started rushing his crew to pack things up without checking what needed extra care.

I hope improvements are made in the future.

The overall experience was disappointing. Customer service was not as responsive as expected, and several issues remained unresolved. I hope improvements are made in the future.

10/10 would use again.

10/10 would use again. We were moving my daughter into a 3rd-floor apartment with no elevator. The guys from M Company carried every box and piece of furniture up all those stairs. They never slowed down or complained. They even helped her unpack the heaviest boxes. The whole job took about 5 hours, which was less than they quoted.

100% SCAM!!

The movers took multiple breaks and wasted so much time. They charged me by the hour, so every cigarette break and phone call added to my bill. Total rip-off.

No complaints at all.

I highly recommend asking for Zachary if you book here. We had a tricky move with a narrow basement staircase. He measured everything first and had a plan. He guided his team perfectly, getting our freezer and washing machine up without a hitch. They were done in under 4 hours.

The movers were very rude and unprofessional;

Waiting for one and half hour before I was called inside then they left in the room because there was a lot of water on the floor the lady told me to wait but she never came back. I looked for someone finally i say a lady in the office she said she was the director of eastern dentist. This is not professional at all. You worker are not to with each other. Please be professional thin about your patients well being not your self's. This is what I have to say. Rally your troops well.

Overall, not very reliable.

Communication was difficult from the beginning. Calls and messages were not returned promptly, and I had trouble getting updates about my move. Overall, not very reliable.
