Customer Highlights

Jun 08, 2026

Terrible Service.

The move took much longer than promised, which caused unnecessary stress. I had difficulty getting updates, and the overall coordination could have been much better.

Simple, Seamless and Satisfactory!!!

The movers were unbelievably patient and courteous while my children went amok during the move. In an effort to alleviate the situation, they kept their cool and even made some light chat.

Very frustrating experience.

Several boxes were handled carelessly, and a few belongings arrived damaged. The crew seemed rushed and paid little attention to fragile items. Very frustrating experience.

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.

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.

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.

I would not use this service again.

The process felt unorganized and lacked proper coordination. Customer support was slow to respond, and the delays created unnecessary stress. I would not use this service again.

Trust me this company is terrible !!

They advertise insurance for damages, but when I tried to file a claim, I discovered it only covers a few cents per pound. This is completely useless for valuable or fragile items. They don’t explain this up front, so you’re left with no real protection if they break something.

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.

Poor estimate and poor communication

The movers packed my belongings so quickly and carelessly that several items were damaged before they left the house. They didn’t use enough padding for my dishes, resulting in broken plates and glasses. They also tossed small appliances into boxes without securing them. I regret trusting them with my things.
