Report
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.
