They had a little trouble finding us but once here they worked efficiently and were very polite and considerate. We didn't need them for the full two hours but I would definitely hire them again.

The guys were wonderful in every way...on time, careful handling, hard working, and followed my requests about what to load last. I would absolutely use them again!

We were scheduled to start at 11 in the morning. Due to scheduling issues, they did not show up until 5:30 at night. I got one phone call around 11:30, but then all further communication was pushed by me. Management of the move was bad. Now, on the flip side, the helpers were outstanding - they had already had a long day and my job was added to their list. The worked their butts off, took good care of my stuff, and were amazing at wedging everything into the storage locker. I'd use the helpers again in a heartbeat - their company, not at all.

Terry and David were great. They took care of all my valuable items and handled things in an ordely manner. They loaded everythings in a timely manner as well. I would hire them again in a heart beat.

They did a good job overall especially with the packing of the efficiency of packing of the POD. Problems: one hour late but did not cause us a problem. What was estimated 3 hour packing process took 5.5 hours for two people for a 16 foot long OD. While packing the POD three boxes of clearly marked "Fragile Christmas Dishes" were tipped over and dropped to the ground(have picture). the packer said do not worry they are OK. By the time my wife said that she wanted to open the boxes and check, they already buried behind two rows. A 1 inch by 3/4 inch dent was made in a hall wall. (have Picture) .

The 2 guys were right on time and knew just what they were about. They loaded the truck and knew how to tie things down so they wouldn,t shift. Great job.

The men who helped unload my portable storage unit this morning were on time, courteous, easy to work with, and finished in a short 1.25 hrs! I'd hire them again.
