Recent HireAHelper Customer Move Costs & Reviews
Trailer was appropriate size for our move, appeared to be in good condition. Drop off drivers were helpful and professional. The transit time was longer than I’d anticipated which meant rescheduling the unloading crew. Next time I’d assume delivery would be at the end of the estimated transit time (business days only) and schedule a crew accordingly.
PODS was the best option for me to go with for my long distance move. The customer service was the best both of us asking as many questions to make sure my move went smoothly. It is fairly priced as well with affordable payment options. This is the best option if you are okay with not having your stuff with you for a few weeks. The container sent to me was very clean could have been brand new. I would 100% use them again for all my moving needs. I'm recommending them to anyone who'll listen.
I rented the largest container available. My home is 3 bedroom w/ basement, just under 1000 sq foot. It did not all fit but I am not disappointed in this company. The price compared to other pods is way better. They have barn style doors to allow easier packing and access. They are fast, friendly and customer service is great. My only concern is the floor inside the pod was cracked when I received it. But it seemed to have a good foundation underneath to support.
The drivers were communicative and friendly, and very competent delivering and retrieving my two 16' containers in some tight spaces. The costs were clearly explained, and as my schedule and details changed they issued updated statements that were easy to access in my PODS online account. All in all it seems like a well run, orderly operation and I would use it again for a major move.
My transportation experience was seamless. I rented a 16' truck one way, and everything went smoothly from pickup to return. Refueling at Sam’s Club cost about $60, and the drop-off location was just 7 miles from my new place, which made things easy and stress-free. Couldn’t have asked for a better process.
