Kathleen R
The team was so great! They were efficient and fast and nothing was damaged at all.
I gave them a tip in person which is why there is $0 on the online bill. They absolutely deserved it!
Elise R
Showed up on time and worked quickly. They were very helpful, friendly and professional
Jonathan V
Awesome! Fast, careful, friendly. Great job packing. Could tell they cared and wanted to do a good job.
Amanda G
Very fast and efficient. They were able to pack our pod with precision and fit everything we needed to all in about an hour!

Jackson and [so sorry - can't remember partner's name] were a stellar team. Right on time for loading and they hit the ground running. The whole 3 hours I didn't think they would be able to finish in time but their fast and efficient system plus knowledge and experience proved me wrong. They Tetris-ed everything into a 20' truck so brilliantly that nothing moved an inch for the whole 200-mile trip. Super helpful and friendly -- don't hesitate to hire these guys. SIX stars!
Mike B
Showed up on time. Efficiently moved the furniture and boxes where directed. Cleaned up and left. Cannot be anymore simple.
Laura or Patricia R

Kaiden and Jackson came on time and very polite. They started our move day ready to go and got our job done in under the allotted time. Kaiden was a great lead, he carried himself in a very professional and friendly way. Keep it up! I'd easily recommend them.

I hired this company to help with unloading my shipping container as well as assembling my furniture. According to their profile, they help with furniture assembly (just not cribs). I confirmed this with one of their phone reps. the day before the scheduled service and was told that furniture assembly was no problem.
On the morning of the service, I received a text message from Erskin stating that one of their teams "called out" and that they would send out someone else (I believe they may have contracted with an external party).
The helpers unloaded my pod in about 45 minutes and were caught off guard when I said I had some items that needed to be assembled. I was told by a helper that their supervisor (different from Erskin) didn't tell them about the furniture assembly and that they "don't usually do that. However, they did (begrudgingly) help out with a few pieces.
All in all they did a good job unloading but I wouldn't have used this company knowing that they don't fully provide the services as advertised.
We appreciate all your feedback, however your description of what happened never took place. The crew that came was the crew scheduled. This crew came with tools prepared to reassemble your furniture. After unloading your pod the crew reassembled a table, a credenza and your bedframe including headboard footboard and side rails. It was at this point when we went to put the slats on and they weren't lining up correct you told them to drill new holes into them. We told you we couldn't do this for safety reasons. You also spoke to a manager who told you the same thing. You then said since they were done at that point you wanted a refund for the unused 30 mins. You only booked the 2hr minimum so there is no refund of time on that which we informed you. That is the whole reason for your review. I understand you were mad that we wouldn't drill holes in your bed or refund you the time but please be honest with your reviews in the future.
