On moving day A-1Movers showed up on time between 8:30am-9am. About an hour into the move the supervisor said that they are going to take a smoke break. The moving crew took 3-4 smoking breaks. We were charged two extra hours for the move. My wife and I looked passed this and were pleased with their job. On October 28th, 2020 we removed our King-sized mattress from the trailer that A-1 movers packed. It was visibly squished into the trailer. We moved the mattress into our bedroom and placed it on the box frame. There was a notable hump in the mattress. The coils had punctured through the underside of the mattress top from being compressed in the trailer. I contracted A-1 Movers and talked to Curtis Sylvester. I was shocked by the way he was speaking to me. He was very unprofessional and extremely rude. I just wanted to have a conversation with him about the situation. As I started explaining the situation to him he said started off by saying “F*ck my life” then went into being very rude and aggressive towards me. He ended the conversation with him saying “go f*ck yourself”.

Mover's response:
number 1 ) my guys take a smoke break around every 2 hours on large jobs that only last about 5 minutes each instead of taking a lunch break we take smoke breaks so that we don't smoke near or around customers things ,it was a long day at this job
number 2) the mattress that we put in your personal trailer we told you was a bad idea and you insisted we put it in there and did not listen to our warning that it was tight , we also told you if you wanted in the trailer not to leave it there for long or this would happen , but again you did not listen ,and agreed to sighn our waiver that states you not not listen to our warning and choose to do what you wanted ,
number 3) you called me yelling at me swearing at me not listening to reason at all called me every name in the book before i finally lost my temper , you can not expect to talk to people like that and think your going to get away with it i don't care who you think you are , i am a fair and reasonable person and have made thousands of others very happy with our service ,so if there was a problem there was a dam good reason , so in short sir , i give you a half star for being unappreciative and entitled and as always thank you for choosing A-1 Movers

Very happy with the work. They were careful with the fragile items. They finished the work within the estimated time.

2 helpers were very efficient and knowledgeable. they loaded the truck quickly And were very helpful in figuring out how to protect certain things without a whole lot of packaging. I then drove the truck to California; everything came through just fine.
Everything stayed in place and I was extremely satisfied.

The guys were great! I don’t recall their names but they worked so hard to get the items upstairs- some stuff didn’t fit- but they tried so hard!! They were respectful, courteous, and very professional.

Greg and Dustin were delightful and funny. They did break one PVC pipe when trying to get a sofa into our basement (which proved to be too big) so that is why the 4 and not 5 stars. I would recommend them and A-1 though!

Mover's response:
thank you for the review ,
but not for nothing we told you before hand the couch was not going to fit and you insisted we try to squeeze it in hence the pipe ,
i knew it wasn't going to fit ,

The crew arrived on time. They were respectful and friendly. They were well prepared and I have no major complaints about anything. My only negative comment is that they were slower then most movers I’ve had before, but to be fair, I have a lot of heavy stuff. I am going to have to make a second moving trip as the truck I got was too small. That’s on me, though, not them. They packed it really well and my stuff is secure. I would definitely hire them again!

Mover's response:
thank you
we are careful
