James at Helpful Movers was responsive and made coordination of meeting his team a breeze. The two movers showed up within the 30 minute window with their moving dollies. Both men were very professional, friendly, and timely. I really appreciate them helping me secure a parking space in downtown Seattle close to the entry door! To start, we did a walk thru of where furniture, boxes, and bags needed to go and they carefully transported each piece. At the end, Steve, the main mover, did a walk thru to make sure things were in the correct rooms and helped close up the U-Haul truck for me. My experience with Helpful Movers was without stress, only gratitude. I would use them again and certainly recommend them without a second thought!

Mover's response:
Thank you for all the compliments, we really appreciate all reviews but this one was really nice to see. I'm glad you were satisfied with us and that we were able to deliver an awesome service to you! We always aim to please the customer to take the stress out of moving and allow you to sit back and relax.

The two movers were prompt, very careful, kind and I felt very safe as they skillfully and efficiently worked to move my larger furniture pieces from the garage to my upstairs rooms. Thanks~

Mover's response:
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us and I'm glad we got everything done for you safely and in a manner that you felt good with.

this group was very helpful and efficient and had a huge challenge with a heavy pull out couch that they met with excellence and professionalism. They were also very conscientious as far as my time allotment of 2 hours and worked hard to stay in this time frame and get all the heavy lifting done and assembly of my bed complete!

I moved within my building so it was not any travel or on and off loading of a truck.

Mover's response:
Thank you for the review and thank you for choosing us to do your move I'm happy that we provided a great service for you!

This is a review for Helpful Movers, not HireAHelper. The gentlemen that I worked with from James, who set everything up, to Andy and Paul, who were the actual helpers were incredible. They were so polite, considerate, kind, and of course helpful, that I would not hesitate recommending them to anyone. We had so many glitches occur, and all of them were flexible and accommodating. Thanks guys!
