Five star experience with Paxton delivering our items from storage. All items in good condition and well cared for over the 7 years we were overseas. Delivery team was excellent working with some large furniture and tight doorways.

They were very cautious and quick with the packing from my post abroad and to delivery and unpacking in the US. A few items were damaged in shipment and they didn't bat an eye with sending me settlement checks to replace damaged items. No move is perfect but they care and try to make things right.

We put our home goods in storage with Paxton while we lived abroad for 4 years. Upon returning stateside and with the delivery of our items, we had over $5,000 in damages and some pieces of furniture completely missing. We have been working with the utmost incompetence with a representative (Ryan Stankovic) who refused to put us in contact with management and has ignored our emails or taken weeks to respond to the handling of our claim. We have been trying to resolve this issue since March of this year and our case has been handled with incomprehensible irresponsibility, negligence, and complete ineptitude. Attached photos of just a few items that were damaged and Paxton has not taken any responsibility or made any reimbursement to our claim.

This company is a nightmare. Took almost 30 days to deliver and then when they did the destroyed and damaged a lot of our stuff, baby pictures including a 70 inch samsung TV. Heres a pic on how they pack a $1200 Tv. You been warned stay away from this company.

[Translated by Google] I had a terrible experience with Paxton. Like many other reviews, I strongly advise against hiring this company. It is practically impossible to get in touch with them by phone (they don't answer or return calls, despite leaving messages). The assigned representative ignored several emails with important questions about the move, which were never answered. I was forced to contact someone else for information about my shipment. There were also excessive delays that were not communicated in a timely manner, and important insurance documents that were never delivered. In short: unprofessional service, terrible customer service, lack of organization, and no communication. Avoid.
