The packing and unpacking took 2 hrs. Longer because the team leader says let's lengthen this out boys.I have Tupperware and towels and faceclothes missing. Dishes,smalltables are broken.foo d
is spoiled because the team leader says not to put it in the freeze for transport. My belongings were called junk. Instead of using the dollies they carried in 2 small boxes of glasses.there was no light in the truck making unloading slow and dangerous. The owner didn't want to hear any of this and told me to get out of his office . In the spirit of x-mas I tipped the 3 of them
,only the younger ones really

I had harris movers move my elderly frail mother. The moving men took their time as they were charging her 250 an hour. When the men decided that they needed a break they took one. They smoked numerous things icluding drugs in the back of the truck were my mothers stuff was stored. Now it all has to be dry cleaned. They also broke numerous things. And the truck had no light in it. The moving men could not see a thing so they took even longer. My mom was quoted at 1700 dollars and the bill was 2900. My poor mom!

Contacted them for an estimate to be told they’re not a moving company! They’re message we’re rude, and we’re completely unhelpful. Save yourself the agony ignore the movers section they just do storage.
