I was a repeat HireAHelper customer after a great past experience in PA. Now living in FL I used them again but had a rough experience during a recent move. The subcontraced labor group was Southern Cross in Ft Myers who is not reliable. My original order was for 4 helpers for up to 4 hours arriving by 8am. The evening before the move I received an email from HireAHelper at 5:48pm that only 3 helpers would now be coming. The next morning nobody arrived by 8am and I began calling to find out if anyone was coming. Nobody answered the phone at Southern Cross or HireAHelper (they are on Pacific time). I finally received a call back around 8:45am telling me the 3 person crew was on their way for 9am arrival. At 9:10 nobody had arrived so I called Southern Cross again to have nobody answer. The 3 person crew finally arrived at 10am and provided some of the help I needed for 3 hours. At 1pm the crew handed me the job completion paperwork, even though I still had work to be done. They mentioned nothing about the hour still remaining on my agreement. The paperwork said they only worked 3 hours and, given they were no longer engaged in my project, I signed it and let them leave assuming I would not pay for the 4th hour. The HireAHelper agreement implies the 4th hour is a flexible extra hour if needed. Southern Cross then charged for all 4 hours claiming the fine print in the ageement lets them do this. I have tried to contact Southern Cross via phone and email numerous times about this overcharge and they will not answer or respond. I am pretty sure they are screening my number and not answering on purpose. I tried to get help through HireAHelper directly and they claim it is up to the local company to help resolve this. After Southern Cross failed to work with me HireAHelper stepped in to support me and get my situation resolved appropriately. Beware of Southern Cross Moving in Ft. Myers as they are not dependable or trustworthy.

Mover's response:
Hireahelper contracts have arrival windows of 1 hour, never exact times, so we were to arrive between 8:00 - 9:00. Again your job was completed within 4 hours with 3 movers. If you would had 4 movers they would have completed the job sooner and you would have paid extra for the 4th mover thus you actually saved money.

I had paid for 2 men for 3 hours, when the men got there they said they were told to unload l container. When I told them I paid for 3 hrs they said they couldn’t because on their sheet it had unload 1 container (which was half emptied since my husband, son & myself had unloaded the day before). We hired these people because my husband is not in good health and couldn’t do heavy lifting. I WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN!!! Thieves and liars DO NOT USE THEM!

Mover's response:
Those are very hurtful words, we were paid to unload and set up furniture. Anything that does not involve moving we cannot do. Hanging painting, unboxing, debris removal ect. We are movers and your move was completed.

Mr. Baskin and Mr. Cordel did a wonderful job of packing our pod. They listened and did what was asked of them. They were polite and kept the movement going. They actually finished a little earlier, but that just showed the hardwork and effort they put into the move.

Mover's response:
Thank you so much for leaving a review, we apricate it.

The crew that came to my house were amazing! Very professional, they called to say they were on their way. They not only were on time they asked if they could come earlier which worked out for us so much better! They did an amazing job and treated all my stuff with care like it was their own. They came with their own equipment to get things moved! I would definitely recommend them and use them again!

Mover's response:
Great review of the crew that completed your job that day. Reviews are so important in this business, so we thank you for taking time out of your day.

I should get at least a 50% refund!!! They were not self directed and wasted tons of time. One was even less involved. They damaged a couple of things, had plenty of time to tell me and or show me -- but they did not. I am amazed they got so little done in six hours!!! Help I hired two days later got more done, AND unloaded the pod in just under two hours. Junk removal team the following day made the Southern Cross guys seem like the D squad.

Mover's response:
You can see plenty of 5 star reviews with John's name attached to those reviews. He was the lead man on the job so I find it hard to believe you had problems. Unloading pods is so much easier and quicker than loading. Sorry we did not me your expectations.

Once I put in the order and paid I received an email the day before the move that it was not confirmed and tried to reschedule.
Upon calling in informing truck was already rented and planned that date based on my initial confirmation I finally got a call back and Greg from Southern Cross promised he'd have crew there, even if it was himself to make good
Hire a helper team did assessed in looking at alternate and helping secure that day.
The team was a little late but they did come to work, although it was only 2 guys of the 4 I reserved/paid for. A positive note Greg did send actually for extra guys to make up for this about halfway through, so in the end my time schedule was met which no problem with that.
There seem to be quite confusion and separate issues that became my problem within the company.
The workers were excellent, working hard and diligently to get job done. I would say an 8 out of 10 in being careful with my items. There was an issue going up the stairs where I asked them to slow down and let's figure the angle out as they rushed up and punctured the wall with a good size hole and chunk of the banister. The lead worker took pictures and informed me they would cover this that Greg would send somebody out to patch.
After five calls and four texts I received no word back from Greg at Southern Cross and was left to care for it myself at my expense after I paid for full service and tipped well.
My recommendation would be wary with doing business with this management.

Mover's response:
You cannot text the business number because it is a landline. Maybe the information was not given to me since I always keep my word as the owner. I do apologize for lack of communication. My records indicate that this was covered by the insurance.

Great guys getting great reviews, way to go guys. And thank you for your review.

Movers showed up on time, behaved very professionally, unloaded everything from the containers in the time allotted. Brought the tools requested.

I cannot say enough positive things about the young men who assisted with the unloading. No damage to any of my belongings and they were very friendly and polite. I would recommend Southern Cross Moving for anyone who needs things moved, unloaded/loaded, or relocated within their homes.

Mover's response:
Thank you so much for that amazing review!!!
