Miguel and Jay worked hard and quickly unloaded my things from a moving container into my house. I would definitely use them again.

Jay and Miguel from First Class Movers LLC did a fantastic job with packing and moving. Their efficiency and attention to detail were impressive, making the entire process swift and neat. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of reliable movers.

I was massively disappointed by the service I received, I have moved over 20 times as an adult, this was not my 1st rodeo! I had used Hireahelper before and had great experiences in the past. This time it was a real disaster, the job should have been 3 or 4 hours max, they were inept, kept delaying, putting me in a real predicament as I needed to vacate where I was and keep my agenda on track. They were asked repeatedly to take apart an antique Duncan Phyfe dining table before it was loaded as I wasn't able to do it by myself, I was repeatedly assured that it was necessary to do so to fit my stuff on the truck. Sadly this was not done and the table was damaged so badly it now has no value as an antique. In addition, after nearly 8 hours they told me that they couldn't fit anything else on the truck and that I needed to decide what I wasn't taking, not what I was expecting. They also loaded things that were not to be on the truck and I didn't discover that until I arrived and the truck was unpacked. I was sure that there would have been enough room had they paid better attention to my instructions or simply asked. So had to part with things I didn't want to and ended up bringing things I didn't want, really wrong in many ways. Lastly, one piece of furniture, 1 of a pair of antique night stands did not make it on the truck. As I had to photograph my apartment to let my landlord know I had vacated I KNOW it wasn't in the apartment. That particular table contained some VERY important items that were dear to me and can NEVER be replaced. After losing my parents, my husband, my job and some close friends over the last 3 years, this was really a low blow to sustain. The owner/manager of the moving company was completely uncooperative, blamed me for the damage stating that "if I hadn't provided enough moving pads any damage was on me". The damage sustained wasn't from a lack of pads, which I did provide and they did not use. Most of my furniture that needed to have padding sustained damage. The pieces I packed and covered with cardboard and plastic were fine. He also has refused to cooperate with Hireahelper which tells me that the company is not to be trusted ever, clearly I was bilked out of at least 4 hours of work by their employees, Hireahelper was damaged by their association with this moving company and sadly I was the unwitting victim that got shafted on all fronts.

Mover's response:
This customer tried to blackmail us with false accusations and failed to receive compensation because her story was all over the place. First of all, the job only took 3 hours, not 8+ like they are claiming all of a sudden. Additionally, this job was a load only so the customer was responsible for providing moving blankets and tie downs considering she was driving from CT to CA. She did not provide any and luckily the guys took photos of the loading process clearly showing there were no pads available other than 1 small rug that she told them to use. Most of her "antique" furniture can clearly be seen in the photos as already damaged prior to our arrival. The truck was loaded very well and packed tight regardless. However, if you drive over 3000 miles with nothing properly protected with blankets, it's expected to have small dings here and there which we are not responsible for. We are only responsible for items damaged during our immediate care. Which in this case, as well as most, was none. This customer started off by saying we loaded terribly and wanted compensation for damages, photos prove otherwise. Then this customer stated that things were missing and we left items behind, but also sent in photos showing the place was empty once we were done loading meaning there was nothing left behind. It was obvious that this customer was going through something within their family so we are sorry to hear about that. However, trying to get money back for a move you didn't pay for, at the expense of diminishing our reputation is absolutely uncalled for. Please stay safe, we wish you well.

Miguel and Jay were amazing. I've never seen anyone play Tetris like these guys - they utilized every spare spot completely. They've taken packing/loading to a science, and mastered it.

They were right on time, and completely prepared for the job.
They worked HARD. Poor guys had been going since 5:30am, and never once flagged on our job, not once.
Exceptionally nice people, always with a smile, no matter what.
ABSOLUTELY would use them again. In fact would prioritize a job to get them back.
