We would hire them again! Our furniture is very large, heavy, and all our bedrooms are upstairs. They carried everything and packed the POD efficiently.

My movers were Robert and Nick. They were a little early and prepared to work hard. They were very respectful of everything and very polite. I would definitely use them again.

I would like to give 10 stars to James and his staff at Helpful movers. I am not the best at online stuff so I booked the wrong date, James was all over this and worked rapidly to reschedule for the same day his employees Dave and Robert , forgive me if I have the names wrong were on time even though they were coming from another job well over 30 miles away, they began to work immediately after I gave them instructions as to how we wanted to proceed. these had to be the hardest working two guys I have seen. they were extremely respectful of my property and our items being moved. I would without a doubt use the service again. To whomever reads this I am usually not a survey taker or one who leaves feedback positive or negative but I really felt that these people need recognition. the service helpful movers overall was really simple and user friendly it was me that made it more difficult than it had to be I over thought it I only recommend better advertisement I stumbled on the entire service by accident. GREAT WORK !

I hired two guys for four hours to pack a truck. It ended up taking them 9 hours!! They were slow, took smoke breaks and long bathroom breaks. No hustle whatsoever. They "comped us" time for when one worker wasn't there. Of course I'm not paying for when someone isn't there working - don't act like it's a favor! Now that we are at our new house and got everything unpacked - a tremendous amount of damage. Some wear and tear and accidents I understand but there is a lot of damage to a lot of items. My house undoubtedly looks crappier with all these damaged things now. I completely regret hiring them in the first place, giving any tip at all and even being cordial while they were there.
