Really fast. Unloaded PODs in less than 1 hour. Friendly.

Unfortunately when hired helpers work by the hour they don't work nearly as hard. I have had issues with multiple crews that I have hired. They complain about how strenuous the unloading furniture is. They take too many breaks. In most cases, crews do not respect our customer's property or articles of their shipment. It is just difficult. I guess that is what you get when you hire helpers at the last minute.

Neil and Larry were on time and eager to work hard and efficiently despite the humid heat. They moved our furniture with care and respect up four tall flights of stairs without a complaint. In fact, they were incredibly polite throughout the entire move. They are the best movers I can imagine working with!

They were great. Greg organized all aspects of the move as soon as the team arrived. They worked together well and were polite and respectful to our needs and wished. I really couldn't recommend them more highly. They filled our POD like it was a solved rubics cube puzzel. Plan to use them again when we unpack it all!

A1 was very professional. The team works so hard even in the heat and they were careful with our belongings.

Well they showed up on time, and it was very warm outside. They carried all the heavy furniture and boxes out of my house which I am thankful for. They started loading the first pod nicely, however it went south(bad) after about half the first (of 2 16 foot) pods were loaded. They haphazardly jumbled the stuff in the POD not taking the time to make the best use of space, and if we had left it like that many of our belongings would have been damaged in transit. We (my spouse and I) had to unload the pods after they left and re-stack everything so my belongings would not be damaged and to make the best use of space. They also did not secure any of the load with the loading straps I provided. Very poor loading job. They did work hard emptying the house especially considering how hot it was but the end results were less than satisfying. Also they kept telling us how they were only making 10 dollars an hour, fishing for a tip i guess, kinda tacky. All of our belongings did not fit in the PODs, and that is OK we do have a lot of stuff, we are getting another pod so I am not mad everything did not fit, but it was not a good loading job. If you use this company and you don't want to have to start over and re-do all their work I highly recommend you stay on-top of them and make sure they do it correctly the first time (I thought thats what I was paying for).
