Helpful Movers

Justin was great, however I thought I was paying for 2 movers. Assisting him were a 120 lb high school kid and another slightly built young man with severe carpal tunnel syndrome. My 50 year old wife hauled the same item up the driveway that they did in half the time. No kidding! If I had 2 Justin's the service would have been w…Read Moreorth it, but sadly I felt that I was assisting Justin babysit for a day. Do not recommend, really disappointed!

They were flexible when U-Haul cancelled my truck and help me out by providing their truck for the cost of gas and seem to enjoy their job. Would absolutely hire these guys again.

One showed up on time, other was 30+ minutes later. Seemed okay at first, but once we arrived to our destination we discovered how haphazard they placed items. Ruined my dresser leaving the drawers in empty, with nothing supporting inside, placed heavy boxes on top so it collapsed in the middle. Also ruined one of our TVs, which…Read More we boxed in a $20 padded TV box. It was laying diagonal after falling and having a living room chair they stacked to the ceiling(WTF???) Fall on it. Find a different mover or just hire tweakers from the corner cause that's pretty much what they are.

The workers treated my belongings with care, worked very hard and were pleasant overall. They really knew how to maximize space in filing the POD I had ordered. I didn't think they could fit as much as they did. I was vey pleased with their work and the results.

The guys arrived on time and did a fantastic job! They were very polite and managed the tricky stairs to the third floor expertly. They unloaded 6 Uboxes in 3 hours. I am so glad we hired them!

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.

They were on time, courteous and hard working. They did a great job of loading our things. Very personable young men.

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.

They were great! My husband and I had a complicated moving situation and the helpful movers made my move less stressful in so many ways! Definitely would use again and would recommend to others!

Our movers did an fantastic job. They completed the unloading and helped us set up our bed and other things. We will gladly be recommending your company to our friends and co-workers. Thank you for the awesome job.

Fantastic communication, timely and courteous service. Overall, an excellent experience.

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 anothe…Read Morer 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 !

Great crew! On time, professionnal, efficient and friendly. Can't ask for more...

Showed up on time and worked super hard. Were friendly and put things right where we asked. Could not have been better! We will definitely use again!

The two men who helped us were efficient, courteous, and were very careful. We couldn't have asked for more! Glenn H. Kent, WA

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 …Read Moreat 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.

Awesome team, went above and beyond despite getting locked out at Public Storage. I called 911, a patrol officer came and I got the u-haul and myself out but the three guys in 2 pick-up trucks got locked in. Took another call to 911 then sometime later, what appears to be the owner came and I asked her to get the guys out. Ve…Read Morery patiently, all 3 were out and I realky appreciate their undetstanding. An great team of very fast movers.

Dustin and Nick were AMAZING!!! courteous, friendly, great movers! Would highly recommend them!!!

All who were involved with Helpful Movers were people of the highest caliber!!--No doubt--I'm especially grateful to Hunter, Justin and Dave and I humble myself before them as they gave my wife and I a tremendous days work---We, unfortunately lost track of something during the day and as we could not find it, we were to quick to…Read More blame someone besides ourselves for it's loss and accused one of them of putting the grip on said item--nothing could of been further from the truth---They are a superior trio of men who did there job with strength and good will and had to suffer a false accusation at our hands---Please find it in your hearts to forgive us you guys!!--I and my wife could not recommend a nicer--more courteous -- honest, hard working band of young men!!! I only wish we could take back our words, but we cannot!! I hope we can meet further down the line so I could personally ask forgiveness from each of you and from your boss, James as well!!--Good luck you all!!!

Only 2 of 4 movers arrived at the job on time, and the 3rd was 1.5 hours late. The 4th mover never showed up. Subsequently, the job took several hours longer than anticipated, and the crew left before the job was done (i.e. 2 hours more work) to make it to their next job (already pushed back 3 hours). Needless to say, this was n…Read Moreot what we wanted or expected from Helpful Movers. On the plus side, the crew was pleasant professional; we'll see how their packing job measures up once we unload it on the East Coast.

Showed up a few minutes early, ready to go. Very polite and considerate of our belongings. Worked fast and efficiently, and were prepared to work the extra hour we had to add at the end to finish packing out the containers. James the coordinator was also very helpful and flexible. Would definitely use this service again.

Justin, Mark, and Nick all did a great job. They were on time, worked hard and finished in half the time.

Hard workers took care with everything. Lost the keys to my two storage units. Had to wait almost 2 hours before locksmith could open both. They were very good about it not complaining, only charged for 1 of those extra hours.

So grateful to Helpful Movers! Helped me move all my stuff! Efficient, timely and prepared. Respectful of my belongings and helped me pack all my stuff nicely into my truck. I recommend them and would use them again. Thank you Helpful Movers!

Perfect job by perfect gentlemen. On time, exceedingly careful with my belongings and thoughtful with good suggestions. Thank you!

They were late and were determined to still leave at the same planned finish time which was 3 hours versus 4 hours. They did not come with the equipment to move frig or washing machine. They hurried at the end and ended up pack the final section of the pod in a way which left furniture pices exposed to damage. I would not recomm…Read Moreend these movers to anyone.

Just like last time! Fantastic! Dave got the pod loaded nice & tight - top to bottom, side to side. Mark & Justin did wonderful jobs getting things out to the pod in one piece & nothing was broken nor scratched. James as always is understanding of last minute changes and was my go to guy when the immense stress of this move in p…Read Morearticular was getting to me. He is good people, fair, and honest. I'll be calling him when it's time to unload.

They were wwonderful young men who worked diligently ensuring all was good

They were amazing. You should take these guys off the line and move them to corporate. Then they could teach others how it's done right

My movers were excellent. Very prepared. They worked extra hard. Never stopped. They were completely respectful of the process and my "stuff". I would use them again in a heart beat. Marilyn

Ok I will start using their bullit points: Were they on time, yes. Were they prepared for the job, yes. Did they work hard, yes. Were they respectful of your property, yes. I would definitely use this service again, and Mark and Justine were the best! Weird to get so excited over movers, but these guys were awesome. Long story…Read More short, I waited to the last minute, 12 am in the morning on day of move to call them. They fit me in on very short notice, and got the job done. Thanks again so so much Mark and Justine. You are the best.

The help was prompt, quick, and fun. Would absolutely recommend. Thanks for all the help guys! You made my out of state move such a breeze.

Movers were hard workers. They did a good job. We felt we were overcharged for a piano service when we had a professional driver there.

These guys are terrific! I'm not much for leaving reviews unless I've had above & beyond excellent service. James, the owner, showed up to do a walk through with me, and this after a few frantic phone calls I made to him concerned about my items, logistics, etc. James was understanding and professional and genuinely concerned wi…Read Moreth helping me throughout the entire process! His crew was awesome - arrived on time, listened to everything I voiced concerns about throughout the packing of the POD, helped me any time I needed it, continually offered "just ask & we'll move it for you" including a few heavy boxes into my RV. They were dressed clean, there was no smoking nor even smoker smell, and Dave did a phenomenal job packing the POD tight. And extra care was given to my precious piano that was my mother's she bought in the early 60s. Mark & Justin were extremely careful with my items and walls and doors. They moved along at a quick pace, too. Moving is just stressful and chaotic by nature let alone in my situation (being forced to move), and James & his crew are who I will call with any future moves (like unloading when I find a home). I highly recommend Helpful Movers!

I asked for 3 Helpful Movers, anticipating they could unload my PackRat container in around 2 hrs. They moved all in good time, exactly where I asked. Highly recommend them for any unloading you need. I suspect they can pack well too but can't rate that for me. Will definitely keep their info handy for future needs.

The individuals provided were professional, on time, and I would highly recommend them.

Justin & Mark showed up on time & worked hard the entire time. They were carful & respectful as well as listened effectively. Overall a smooth & speedy loading of my truck. I highly recommend Justin & Mark !

The crew did a great job! These guys were professional and loaded my truck tight for my long move. This was the best moving experience I have ever had. Thanks guys!

I hired 4 workers for 4 hours and they worked so hard and were careful and fast. All of them were conscientious and respectful to me and my property. Really great experience.

They cranked their customer service up to an 11. They made this one of the best experiences with moving I've ever had, even though we had to start later than originally intended. They also had a truck available to bring some items from the old to my new place. Everything survived getting into the pod as well as the stuff they mo…Read Moreved to my place, nothing broke. Great team of people, and great customer service. I would recommend them, absolutely to anyone who asked me.

These guys did an excellent job! They worked very quickly and continuously over 2 hours, completely unloading my 24' truck. Very polite, upbeat, and positive the entire time! I don't plan on moving again for a while, but when I do I'll definitely be giving them a call!

They were late. They were prepared, worked hard, they were respectful of my property, and I would use them again. They did a great job of packing the truck, they also handled two heavy double recliner couches with no problem.

Movers were great had a bed in a tight space they were able to get it out without any damage. 2 hours work fine to get the big stuff out I would use them again.

Moo and Sid were awesome!

I had to unload a truck in two locations. They were careful with my belongings and cooperative and followed instructions very well.

Were they on time? A little late Were they prepared for the job? Yes Did they work hard? Yes Were they respectful of your property and goods? Yes Would you use them again? Yes

Jason and Robert were an excellent team - professional, thorough, and knowledgeable about moving furniture. They showed up early and finished on time. They helped by pointing out several issues with broken furniture that I didn't even realize so was appreciative. And they offered to put together my desk (complicated glass des…Read Morek which is quite heavy and awkward) in record time. They didn't have to do that. I definitely recommend this team and would use them again.

We had an internal office move to replace carpet in several offices and they did a great job. We had some additional requests to re-configure a couple of offices and they worked with us to get everything just the way we wanted it. They were patient as we talked through the changes and figured out how we wanted the furniture plac…Read Moreed. They were a couple of minutes late one day and called to let us know they were stuck in traffic. We have an additional space that will be getting new carpet and I will be calling them again. Great job!

This was a last-minute job - literally. We were moving furniture for holiday guests the day before and my husband injured himself. I called Helpful Movers and even though they were in Tacoma and I'm in Bellevue the owner found two great guys to help me on the same day. Those two guys arrived when promised, were extremely help…Read Moreful, very pleasant, took excellent care with moving from upstairs to downstairs with no damage to the furniture or the walls, and were very respectful of my home and to me personally. I would recommend them with no hesitation, and will hire them again after the holidays to help me move things back.

Even though HireAHelper gave the movers a 4 hour window, they insisted on calling and setting up an 9 am arrival. So of course that's what I expected. After multiple calls on the day of the move because of "navigation issues" among other things, they didn't show up until 11:30. The movers were fine, could have worked a little qu…Read Moreicker and paid more attention to the Fragile label on my boxes, but overall the job was done.

The crew of James Akers, Helpful Movers, were great! They performed tasks timely & courteously. I would definitely use them again & recommend them.

The movers Anthony and David were outstanding. They were extremely polite and courteous, very hard working and easy to get along with. They loaded a truck for us and unloaded it as well. We ended up having to alter our timing last minute, and they were so understanding and very accommodating! They did a great job when it came to…Read More fitting everything in the moving truck and unloading it efficiently. They were so respectful of our time, and keeping the move within the scheduled time so we wouldn't go over. Wonderful help, and we would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a mover.

David and Nelson were on time and very professional. They represented James Akers of "Helpful Movers" very well. The unloading of my POD went off without any problems or delays. I would definitely recommend "Helpful Movers".

Would have been Five star service! Movers showed up on time, were very courteous, and carefully packed my POD container with more than we thought would fit. Unfortunately, they pushed a dresser across a hardwood floor and left 20-foot-long railroad track scratches that will cost me more than the loading fee to get fixed...Oh w…Read Moreell.

quick, efficient, helpful, would use them again

The service was good, but they needed to move a little faster. They worked hard and were respectful of my property and goods. I would recommend and use them again.

The movers arrived on time ready to work. They were fast and did a great job of packing delicate furniture. Because packing is much more difficult than unpacking, we were impressed by how tightly they packed the truck. However, and this is not the fault of the movers, they left before the job was finished to go to another gig…Read More. We had boxes and furniture in the alley when they departed. I guess we thought they would finish the job at a higher rate of pay. I don't think I'd use the company again.

On time show up and get the jobs done ! They even finished jobs in 2 hours ( 3 hour anticipated ), and Hireahelper.com gave me the credit for one hour on the same day they charged. Great experience and I would recommend every movers to use their service !

This was a long-distance move - so everything I own was in the container I rented from PODS. The container was somehow misplaced by PODS and delayed about a week. They promised several different "delivery dates" that came and went with no delivery of the container and lots of lame (and some untrue) excuses. Arrgghh. However…Read More, James was professional, patient and understanding, and as soon as the container arrived he scheduled his 2 workers to come and unload. He kept in touch with me throughout a very difficult and stressful situation. Corey and Matt were on time, ready to work and very respectful of my belongings and my new home. They worked efficiently to complete the job in less than 2 hours. Would definitely recommend Helpful Movers. In this high-stress situation, Helpful Movers was just that - very, very helpful. Thanks, James, Corey and Matt. Job well done.

They are very hard working helpful individuals and I would recommend them anytime.

They worked hard and did a great job. However they were over a hour late.

They had to leave before the job was finished. Thankfully they sent two more guys to finish

Great job - on time and worked hard. The movers were very attentive to our needs - thank you

On time. Worked hard. Polite. Got everything unloaded within the time allotted. Will use again

There were a couple of issues but they were resolved quickly. The movers worked very hard, were respectful and I would definitely use them again.

Great crew. Focused on getting the pod unloaded. Unluckily only three of the four showed up. Good job and appreciated the flexibility for scheduling.

At first only two workers came but then three... They worked well and got done sooner than we expected.

The two men who unloaded the moving POD were energetic, hard working and efficient. The furniture was being moved to the 3rd floor. It was a warm day, about 90 degrees, however this did not not slow these two down. I highly recommend this service!

The communication from HireAHelper was good, they did call a day ahead to discuss a scheduling snafu. Dave and Bay were fantastic, worked quickly, and took care with the items moved. They were very personable, respectful and friendly. I would use them again.

We had requested four movers. They were really nice, very polite and respectful. they made sure not to damage any of the items and was very careful in moving our furniture store, etc. I would definitely use them again.

Showed up on time, worked hard the entire time! Would highly recommend this company!!

Awesome service! On time, courteous, worked very hard the entire time, careful with my belongings, good natured. I would use them again and would recommend them to others. Very, very happy with the service!

They were not on time. They were a half hour late. They were not prepared for the job. Came with no plastic wrap, no tape, nothing. My husband had to help them. They couldn't life the big stuff. That's what we hired them for. They were respectful. Absolutely not. Waste of money. Actually, I want a call from management.

They were on time. Very efficient and got the job done fast

I have used this company twice now and both times I have had amazing service. On time, a job well done, and always hard workers.

Great guys. Hard workers. Felt like I was moving with friends. I would definitely call them again.

I paid for 2 hours and they took only 1 hr. Did not seem interested in fulfilling the 2 hr commitment. They were in a hurry to leave but they did a good job and were very pleasant.

They showed up right at 10am on time they moved a lot of furniture in the short time. The bed was difficult to fit in the bedroom because of the small hallway, but they stuck with it all when well. Good job.

Great Job! Would definitely use them again fast service very professional and on time

Stay Away!!! They do not deliver on their promises. I requested 4 movers for 5 hours. I got 3 movers for 3 of those hours. I was promised reimbursement for the missed hours.

We ordered 4 movers - only had three for the majority of the time.

Good guys, industrious. They were respectful with our belongings.

Helpful movers really did the trick for us. I thought it'd take 2.5 hours to unload my 8' X 16' PODS unit and load it into my public Storage unit. instead, they were done in an hour! And they packed the storage unit great. They were courteous and in time. I'd certainly use them again. You couldn't go wrong!

They showed up on time and were very helpful. I would use them again!

The guys did a great job. They were flexible with my arrival from out of state.

The movers arrived 15 minutes early and was very professional through out the move.

Couldn't be happier - They were a bit early, and worked very quickly yet carefully at the same time. Made ALL the difference in the move, and probably some of the best moving related money I spent.

Timely, conscientious of fragile items, and committed to getting the job done well.

DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY!!!!!! I used this company for a move the crew did a "ok" job, did some damage to furniture and walls although minor, the real problem is the owner who is not honest!!!!

They were on time and worked hard to complete the move within the shortest time possible. I would infinitely use them again.

The guys were on time, courteous and respectful of what they were moving. Some constructive criticism: be mindful of how the boxes are marked. When it says kitchen, place box in/near kitchen, not in bedroom etc. Otherwise, the guys were friendly and professional; they really hustled!

Great guys got the job done on time!

Nice people. Worked hard. Fast. Respectful of belongings--a few bumps and mistakes, but no damage.

The came on time and ready to work! I'd definitely recommend them and use them again.
