Brian and Junior were very good. Brian was clearly an expert packer and they were both very thoughtful with how they loaded my many boxes and furniture. They were also pleasant and hard working.

I hired Five Star in November, 2011 to unload my moving truck after a 460 mile drive to Lee's Summit, MO. They showed up right on time and unloaded the truck in about 3 hours. They put the boxes, furniture, etc exactly where directed, including moving a china hutch and formal dining set to the basement. They pointed out some minor dings that occurred during the drive. They even folded the moving pads and disposed of the moving tape and bubble wrap. Unlike others, Five Star provides their own supplies. Five Star did an excellent job for me and I would definitely hire them again.

These guys were amazing. They were
fast, but never hit a wall and took care of our things. They will give you a true estimate of size truck and time it will take to do what you need. I recommend them for all your jobs.

The crew sent to load my truck was pretty inexperienced. They got the items loaded in the expected time; however, they were clueless about tying down a load. They did very little tying down until I questioned how boxes and furniture that was occupying less than a full truck were not going to shift in a 1,300 mile trip. They responded by suggesting that the heavy book boxes shoved up against furniture was tightly enough packed to not shift. A simple moving of the truck around the block to the rear of the property to load more items disproved that, with two broken garden flower pots! Not only did the crew not seem to know how to tie down a load, they were rather careless with padding the furniture. When I noticed 2 wood book cases sitting next to each other uncovered, I was asked, "do you want pads on them?!" The fact was that after the crew left, I spent 2 hours climbing over the load to tie it down and properly pad it. At one point they dropped a cast aluminum patio chair off the truck, marring its surface. Bottom line, I would not hire them again.

Mover's response:
Our experienced crews load 100's of trucks a year! As all professional movers know, the load tends to slightly gravitate towards the front of the truck every time you apply the brakes. We load accordingly & strap at the end of the shipment. EXACTLY how all major, national moving companies do! Knowing the bases of the flower pots were already crumbling, you said load them anyway without being boxed up like we suggested! Because of a lack of moving pads, the crew used what was provided sparingly.

The two gentlemen who arrived on time went straight to work unloading the truck and placing furniture and boxes where asked to they asked if we needed anything else and I got their business card and told them I had known about them the week before when I moved I will definitely utilize them if I move again

I used this company for my local move in Sept. 2011. I had a one bedroom basement apt in O.P., with basically just bedroom furniture and about 35 boxes that needed to be moved to a 2 story home in KCMO. The two movers that were sent to my home did arrrive a little late but I was ok with that because I was still tying up some loose ends with my packing etc. They were prepared for the job and they were mannerable and friendly but they moved a little too slow for my liking. THerefore, me and my 2 friends started to help them with the moving when we saw my 2 hr moving period that I paid for was getting close to being up and they hadn't even moved everything out the truck nor put my bed together yet! As they were moving the movers and I noticed a scratch on my dresser and then I noticed other scratches and dents on my other furniture so I notified the movers of that being a problem. They were not huge but very noticeable so the movers assured me that if I fill out a damage report someone from their office would contact me that day to set up an appt. to get the damaged fixed. I payed them the overage charge (because the move ended up being more than the 2 hours I had already paid for) and the movers went on their merry way. I then waited for a phone call I was told to expect and I never received one from the office/company regarding the damage and repair to my furniture. I ended up calling them myself about 2 days later where I was spoken to rudely and basically accused of lying about the damage being caused by the movers, like it was previously there & I had done it myself. I was instructed to call the owner Dan Myer and given his phone #. I called him and left multiple messages during the few weeks following my move and I never received a call back and I never got the damages repaired to my furniture.

I was and am still a bit dissapointed about the whole situation and how it was handled by the company and I personally would not use them again after all that and I wouldn't recommend them to any of my friends nor family.

Mover's response:
We recommended you rent instead, a $10 more 14' U-Haul versus the much smaller & almost half the cubic footage 10' truck. We also highly recommended you rent moving pads too. You refused both recommendations! Both places had flights of stairs. That, and trying to fit everything into a too small of a truck eats up a lot of time! Our crew called well in advance to let you know their ETA. You told them you weren't ready anyway! Insurance denied your claim because you refused to provide moving pads!

Dan and the crew he brought over were great. They were very kind and courteous. They were very careful with the packing of our furniture. There were two long flights of stairs to negotiate and they handled the furniture with white glove treatment . I highly recommend them.
