I could not be happier with the team of helpers sent to load my PackRat container. They were friendly, polite, professional and really knew their stuff when it came to loading. They did an incredible job and fit everything in - all on just 2 1/2 hours. It was uncomfortably hot but they just kept at it. I highly recommend each one of these gentlemen.

Great communication. On time. Got started right away as in 6 minutes after arrival my PACKRAT containers were starting to be filled up. Had four movers and every one of them was super nice and contributed just as much as the others for the entire job.

Eddie and his team are courteous, knowledgeable and experienced. Eddie did magic and filled the 16 ft Packrat container with room to spare. 2/3 bedrooms worth of furnitures, dozen tote boxes, bunch of packing bags and lot of living room,l and kitchen stuffs.
I highly recommend them.
Five stars.

These 2 guys were incredible! They were hard workers, worked quickly, never dinged a wall and were very careful. I was pleasantly shocked how tightly they packed our Packrat containers with no need for support straps since they played expert Tetris with our furniture and boxes. I'd definitely use them again.

1-800-PACKRAT makes you wait hours on hold to talk to them but their driver wouldn't wait more than ten minutes for a car to be towed from my permitted moving space.
