Julia M, Google
"My experience with Poseidon started out fine, but there were definitely some issues at the start. For example, I was given an estimate that was clearly overinflated... The worst part of the experience was their radio silence after my stuff was delivered and I noticed they broke several items (including my TV)."
Neutral Poseidon Moving Reviews
Melissa Ludke, Google

Andrei Iliescu, Google
"My cross-country move went ok, there were a few hiccups, but the price was unbeatable. Movers felt rushed, and some items were scratched, but the cost savings made up for it."
