Were not on time, were rude, lied about what they did.
Do not use this crew ever again!

Mover's response:
Thank you for your review Ms. Nathalie. As your review is false. You were not in the United States the day of your move. You're out of the country and 6hrs ahead of us. There was no line of communication to contact you prior to your move. Myself and the moving crew, as well as your pod driver stood outside in the rain for a hr trying to gain access to your property. We had to ask the property manager onsite to let us inside your apartment, due to the fact there was no one authorized at the property to let us in. On your invoice you left a list of things to be loaded on the pod. Everything on the list was loaded safely and secured into the pod. Once pod was loaded property manager locked the door then we left. We did not receive payment for this job until a week later because no one could not reach you.

From my years of experience my suggestion to you would be next time you decide to move and you will not be onsite. Please leave a point of contact for the moving company as well as someone onsite to oversee the move. Communication is key.

Multiple issues with this company. I requested 3 movers for 3 hours. The crew showed up smelling like marijuana, then shortly afterward the “supervisor” left to get a dolly and was gone for 45 min. The supervisor was also constantly talking on her phone, resting on the stairs, and doing minimal work while the other two picked up her slack. My wife, father and I were also assisting moving items outside. After paying for 2 extra hours they had only filled 21’ of a 28’ trailer. After they left I found out they were just dumping stuff behind furniture to make the trailer seem more full. I repacked it and gained back 6’ of space. We ended up hiring another crew and they were able to pack the rest in under 90 min. I appreciated the work the other 2 crew members did (Mike & Hakeem) did but I would not use nor recommend this company to anyone. To top it off because of these delays I was forced to cancel a family trip for Memorial Day.

Mover's response:
Thank you for your review. You booked 3 movers for 3 hours labor only. When crew arrived they did a walk through of your house to see everything they were loading. As they did their walk through they notice they would need a dolly for all the boxes and bins which was very heavy and the distance to your trailer. If the dolly was requested on the invoice the supervisor would of still been onsite. You were still packing and adding boxes and bins as the trailer was being loaded. We build our wall with boxes and bins as it was explained to you to manage space. The dolly also came in handy for the oversized gun safe that was not on your invoice and you were not charged for. In the gaps that was between furniture miscellaneous items was placed to fill the empty space. We do apologize for any misunderstanding and or frustration this may have been for you.
