    condensa was broken pd for ins. now they are avoiding my calls. I highly don't recommend this unprofessional business.
    Gina U.

    If a customer pays for insurance like we did they should honor it and pay for any damage to our furniture but, they choose to ignore us and not pay. They show unprofessionalism in my opinion. Highly don't recommend this business that doesn't honor their policy!!!

    Moving Truck
    Linda A.

    I hired Greek Movers on three occasions: Once to do a junk pick-up from my house and a second time to take a queen bed to San Diego and third, a long distance move from CA to AZ. Service and communication was good. Their workers have sticky fingers though. The workers (Jose) know the exact terms of the company liability and then they grab something valued at less than a $100 and no one can file a claim. What a racket dude. The item is just "lost." Bullshit. I call it the curse of the generous tip--whenever I tip well something goes sideways. I was present for the loading of my household goods, was assured that the truck was in a locked yard overnight and I was present for the unloading the next day. I called the storage space company and they said they found nothing remaining. This was a small move--about half a truck load. So my office chair "went missing." The blue blanket that covered the chair in storage made it to my new place but the chair underneath it never made it. I'd like my chair back, assholes, and the $100 tip I gave you. I'll be telling your big realtor client about Jose and that stupid-ass chair that was "lost." It's the principle of the thing. A return phone call would have been nice anyway. Get a new worker--and his accomplice.

    Unprofessional, things just thrown anywhere.

    If I could give less than one star, I would. I hired this moving company recently, and it was a total mess from start to finish. They sent around 12 guys, but only four of them were actually doing the work. The rest just stood around talking, watching, or pretending to look busy. The ones that were working weren't careful at all shoving items improperly, not wrapping things right, and moving way too fast like they just wanted to get it over with. It honestly looked like none of them cared about what they were doing. They were also super unprofessional,no coordination, no respect for people's belongings, and not even taking care of their own tools or equipment. Everything just felt chaotic and sloppy. I ended up with scratched furniture, wasted time, and a lot of frustration. Definitely not worth the money or the stress. Would not recommend this company to anyone who wants their move handled properly.

    Moved my stuff from CA to TX. Picked up my stuff on Monday Oct 6th gave them 2 extra days for travel and still showed up at 1:50pm on Friday October 10th. At least 10 guys loaded my items in Ca but only 2 guys delivered and offloaded them in Tx. I had to help the guys unpack my belongings the entire time here and they still left around 10:30pm! They took my dolly (they won't admit it), broke two TVs (bubble wrapped and covered in moving blankets, damaged my newly painted wall and tried to hide it with my end table and broke an office desk piece. These guys WILL not respond or take care of your claims (which they say in contract will cover $.60 of the dollar amount of the item damaged). do NOT fall for Peter's initial sweet talk he is a con man and not a man of his word and his workers are unprofessional dirty and unorganized. These guys take ZERO accountability. Sad thing is I not only helped them from 5pm till 10:30pm but I even bought them dinner and provided unlimited water soda and energy drinks. All my calls are being blocked or forwarded to their "office" line where they won't pick up nor call me back NOR respond to our emails. I really hope and pray to god justice is served to these guys one way or another and that nobody else falls victim to their bs.

    Kevin and Dom

    I've never enlisted the services of a moving company prior to yesterday. I wanted and needed to know that someone would love and care for my piano on its journey going to a new forever home. I met Kevin and Dom from Greek Movers & Junk Removal. Very reasonable and accommodating. They hardly notice the tears in my eyes when they closed the door to leave.

    How they packed my storage locker.

    DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY!! I can't stress it enough. Two polite boys showed up but they were ineffective, inefficient, and slow. Contracted them to move a 1 bedroom apartment heavy items only no food, clothing, pictures office equipment or small items. Everything cleared and/boxed ready to go to 2 locations bedroom to one everything else to storage. An hour into them being there they get a call saying they have two more jobs that day in Riverside & San Dimas. They were not happy & very vocal about it. Now my job stretched into over 9 hours. These guys got my love seat stuck in the door even though I suggested they take the seats off &/or the legs for 30 minutes. "No it's faster this way." They took the boxes downstairs and set them in a puddle of water several times I had to move them out of the water. They were constantly on their cell phones leaving the apartment to take calls. I kept asking Scott why is this taking so long just to move the boxes & living room. His response, "It must be the steps and the distance from your apartment to the front gate because you don't have much to move." (My point exactly) My apartment is 4 from North gate. That explanation doesn't make sense. I kept reminding him I can only pay for six hours. Okay Okay the he hot a call about the other two jobs for that day. They arrived at both new locations 1/2 hour after I did. I left both locations 15 minutes after them & staying in the slow lane to give them to arrive. It took them 1 1/2 hours to set up the & drop off the fridge. They put everything in the bed room before setting up the bed so they were constantly having to move things around. At storage I asked them to stack the boxes in one wall & the furniture on the other wall. Danny yes yes we can do that. Instead they took in all the boxes and furniture at the same time. Placing boxes on top of furniture & furniture on top of boxes. Helter Skelter is the best to describe it. See the pic of how they left my storage. I took a picture of the truck after they removed my dressers. This is how little they had to move that took over 9 hours. When they told me my bill was over $1,300.00. I was very unhappy & said no way. Peter got on the phone I asked him to call me. He told Scott I am not calling because she wants to complain about you without you hearing. So I told Peter they are extremely ineffective, efficient & slow. So slow. He then offered for me to pay $1,000 for this to go away since I paid movers the same amount last year except they moved everything. Scott you had family help with the move too. I had additional family members with me last year who help monitor the work flow not do the work. This was my mistake this time as they came so highly recommended. Peter then changed the amount to $1,100. I said I would pay $900 because I now have to hire 2 guys to fix my storage locker. Then one of the movers Danny in Spanish called me a F ing Puta. Peter response to that is I am holding them up & they just want to go home. Also I am being charged for arguing with them about the bill. Peter agreed to the $900 for it to away. I sent $500 to Scott Clark by Zelle. Then I texted Peter for a $900 invoice. His response was, "why your bill is over $1,300." I didn't respond. I had to pack my car with all the items that did not fit in storage. My 75 year old mom got out of bed to come get the items that didn't fit in my car. Top it off Scott & Danny were told they still needed to do Melissa's job. It's really hard to find reputable moving companies that don't try to stretch time to take all your money. I wish I had read some of these reviews sooner. I will never recommend this company again.

    We had such a great experience with NF moving company!…read more Thank you Nolan, Jason, Steve and Tony! This is our third time using them, and once again they did an amazing job We were moving out of a three-story apartment and into a two-story house, all during a heatwave of around 100 degrees. Despite the heat and all the stairs, the team stayed positive the entire time. we had fun with them! They were extremely professional, careful, and hardworking. Not a single thing was scratched or broken. They even offered to take our TV off the wall, which we hadn't planned on doing, and helped us with it. Their prices also fair compared to the great service they offer. Highly recommend them

    Think twice before hiring NF Moving! Our experience was incredibly disappointing, and what happened…read moreafter we reported the damage was almost as frustrating as the move itself. We originally chose NF Moving because they had a 5 star rating on Yelp. We then hired NF Moving to professionally load two rental trucks for our move from Yucaipa, CA. to Arizona. We supplied the trucks and plenty of protective materials. NF Moving's own pre-move document specifically stated that its crew would handle "padding and protection of furniture." Unfortunately, that is not what we experienced. When the trucks were opened at our destination, the unloading crew's reaction immediately told us something was wrong. Numerous items had been loaded with little or no protection. Four Electra/Townie bikes that had been kept in immaculate condition were placed directly beside each other, metal on metal, uncovered and with nothing between them and leaning against a ladder. We specifically asked an NF Moving crew member to please cover and strap down the bikes. That was not done. All four arrived scratched, with exposed metal from rubbing against one another. A solid wood desk was left with finished wood exposed against the truck floor and arrived scratched. Its legs were also left unprotected and damaged. Two leather ottomans were not properly wrapped and arrived with scratched metal. Our approximately 3-year-old Pottery Barn sofa was wrapped only in plastic, without moving blankets protecting it from hard surfaces. It arrived with marks transferred onto the fabric. A dresser was wrapped incompletely, leaving a corner exposed that arrived scratched and dented. And those were only the items where we immediately identified damage. We also found cream upholstered headboards, benches, dining chairs, furniture legs and other finished surfaces loaded without adequate protection. Framed pictures and shelves packed in lay-flat boxes had been turned on their sides with a golf bag placed on top. A white bookcase was even used by the crew as a step stool during loading leaving behind a wet shoe print. There was no shortage of truck space. In fact, we had TWO trucks. The condition was concerning enough that we paid the destination crew an additional $470 for two extra hours of labor so they could properly wrap and protect our belongings before placing them into storage. The job that should have been done by NF moving! We documented the condition with photos and videos and promptly submitted a claim. NF Moving denied it. We then submitted a detailed request for reconsideration, pointing out that their own paperwork says their crew handles "padding and protection of furniture," that their contract provides valuation when damage is caused by their staff, and that the contract states NF Moving is responsible for items while in its immediate care. They denied the claim again. Their position is essentially that because the trucks traveled approximately 300 miles after they loaded them, we cannot prove their loading caused the damage. They also emphasized that we supplied the trucks and materials and were present during loading. That response is particularly frustrating. We hired professional movers precisely because we expected them to know how to properly wrap, protect, position and secure household goods. Supplying blankets and a truck does not make the customer the professional mover. Being present also does not mean a homeowner should be expected to supervise every piece of furniture loaded into two trucks or override the professional judgment of a four-person moving crew. Most troubling to us is that NF Moving never meaningfully addressed why so many items were left exposed or inadequately protected despite its own written promise that padding and furniture protection were services its crew would provide. We have now filed a formal complaint with the California Bureau of Household Goods and Services and provided documentation of the move, damage, contracts, correspondence, photos and videos. We understood that moving always carries some risk. We did not expect perfection. What we did expect was professional care, reasonable protection of our belongings, and accountability when something went wrong. Instead, we received damaged possessions, an additional $470 expense to correct the condition of the load, and two complete denials of responsibility. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend NF Moving. If you are thinking about moving into or out of the Inland Empire and you'd like more information about our moving experience, you can DM me and I'd be happy to give you more detail on how bad this experience has been.

Since I live alone, it was important to hire a company I could truly rely on. The owner, Christie, offered to come to my home to provide an accurate quote, which I really appreciated. Their pricing was very fair. On moving day, the crew arrived right on time and had no issue making an additional stop at my storage unit. They were friendly, extremely hardworking, and incredibly fast. They also took extra care while loading and unloading, making sure my furniture and belongings were protected and handled properly. Even with a long day that included a three-hour drive to a rural location, they arrived on schedule and maintained their energy the entire time. Everything arrived intact and was unloaded exactly as requested. I was very pleased with Spartan's service and I would absolutely use them again.

    Monica says to Rachel, "I gave you one job." - "Friends"…read more Actually, my move involved multiple jobs but arguably one of the most important ones Spartan failed at. Initial communication was very promising. They had a solid price (I obtained multiple quotes), could do it on the day I needed it (which was evolving because of escrow close) and stated they had their "A-Team" available for my move. We ended up booking them for a March move which involved moving a townhome plus a 3 - 4 bedroom sized storage unit (10x20 efficiently packed)! Originally they seemed to understand the requirements as they brought two trucks but one truck was a 20 footer which turned out to be a tad too small. We ended up making multiple trips in our car to offset. Team was on time and did a solid job with the first part of the move. So far so good. But, I think they realized after taking lunch they were a bit behind and so when they arrived at the house started double timing, not always efficiently. To be fair, taking apart the Murphy bed at the new house cost some time but we needed the space for one of the king beds. Boxes we told them to place in garage but we had to tell them to leave spaces to walk in between. First attempt was just placing all the boxes together like a storage unit. Upstairs, we noticed some scratches all the floor when I had mentioned all through the process starting with bidding that we had wooden floors and please have experience at keeping the floors undamaged. They put the furniture together, helped out with trash pickup and I gave each mover $80 tip. That was a solid tip for an all day, three location move. But it might have been too much. From the beginning the master king bed just felt "off". Lopsided almost. We thought it was the mattress, and that we had to rotate and move the mattress. Nope. The bed wasn't re-assembled correctly. The slats were not properly reinforced in the center and the wood bent, buckled, and finally snapped. See photos. So I waited on this review, until we opened all the boxes, and I am glad I did as our bed crashed. In the end, cannot recommend this local outfit. My national mover that brought me back to S Cal did a far more professional job, even these Murrieta movers said "Wow, those guys stacked your stuff so well in the storage unit". I wish I had used them again for this move. Not recommended.

I was immediately compensated for the issues I had surfaced and am extremely grateful to the Qshark team for doing so. **ORIGINAL** Unfortunately I cannot say I would recommend Qshark. We hired them for a cross country move and were very hopeful for a smooth process given the total cost we were quoted. Prior to the move, I will say the customer service was great. Any question we had was answered promptly and clearly over email, which was very helpful when preparing for the move. On the day of pick up, the movers were punctual, organized, kind and respectful. I have no complaints for the first half of the move. The delivery is where things started to go south. Our movers assured us they would arrive by July 1, however the night before I received a text from Frank that the movers were very delayed and were likely going to miss the delivery date. He let me know the battery had died in the moving truck and therefore they were unable to make the agreed upon delivery date. This was a problem as we had no accommodations for that night, assuming we would've been able to stay in our new home. Frank offered to cover the cost of any hotel expenses we incurred, which was the right thing to do given the circumstances. However, I did have to follow up with him once or twice to complete the reimbursement, which again isn't the type of service I would expect given the premium cost we paid and unique circumstances. When the movers arrived the next day, things looked positive as they were unloading all the furniture. However once they left we realized several items were either missing or damaged. Our bed frame, bar cabinet, shoe cabinet and futon all had either pieces missing or parts that had been dinged. On top of all of that, our TV screen had been damaged in the move. I have since been asking for claim details to get reimbursed for the TV repairs, and have followed up daily with no progress or confirmation that we will be compensated for the damages. Overall while the movers themselves were wonderful, the service of Qshark fell far below expectation and I would not book with them again.
