Thunderhorse was punctual, they were knowledgeable about how to wrap everything especially breakables. They labeled the boxes with labels I provided and were fast. The owner Jorge was always available and responsive. *****I would recommend hiring them as I will be hiring them again to help unpack. Patricia

(3) 11/6/2018 San Bernardino

Yes, they were on time and courteous, however, they were not prepared to move a 2000 lb safe! The only tools they had were a standard hand truck and a 4 wheel roller. I had to provide and teach them how to use steel rod to safely and effectively move the safe out. They took almost 90 minutes just to move the safe when it only took myself and 2 others 30 minutes to lift it up two steps and across the room. Additionally, they ended up bending the plate for the threshold. This in turn cost me a few extra hundred dollars. They also were not good at filling space. Forgot to load items. Example, loaded the legs for stoppage racks, but didn't load the shelves. Not satisfied.

Mover's response:
We apologies for your bad experience with our company. we are working on improving our service by being directly manage by the owner Jorge A Salinas

thank you
