Communication was great, I was contacted immediately, and both men worked steadily and efficiently on loading our POD. Unfortunately I am not able to give 5 stars - they did not wrap all our furniture and did not pay attention to whether the boxes were marked with "do not stack", so at least 2 boxes were crushed. As well as a part for our clothing rack was missing upon unloading. This was not due to not enough time, since we hired them for 7 hours and they only worked 4 hours. We did not receive a refund for the hours not worked. So they could spent more time being careful with our possessions.

Mover's response:
Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your moving needs. I am sorry for the unfortunate experience that you had. Just know that this is definitely not the norm for us. As far as the refund when you went to release the payment you could have told them the hours actually worked.

One guy did twice as much as the other. Feel the last hour to hour and a half was milked. Job was booked for 4 hrs and it went to 4 hrs and 5 minutes. When called Hire A Helper to release payment we asked about the other 5 minutes and they called mover to see if he would wave the 5 minutes and they said no and tried to make us pay for 15 more minutes. Had to dispute extra charges. He lied and later texted that Hire A Helper was the one charging extra. Was not impressed.

Mover's response:
Thank You for the opportunity to help a fellow Vet. But as far as the time being milked that is a very unreasonable statement. We did 2 trips with a 15ft truck and you can ask any other moving company out there 4 hours to load and unload 2 15 ft trucks with travel involved is pretty good timing. As far as you questioning my integrity and saying that I lied that also in not true. We started loading the first load @ 8:50 am (you can read the policy on hire a helpers website time starts when the mo

Very nice job, combined with great perceptiveness that I was stressed because the previous mover did a no show. The packing was tight and professionally done, I felt at peace very quickly. I appreciated it beyond the work itself. Thoughtful folks.

Great experience. Helpers arrived early (but called first to make sure it was ok), they worked quickly and professionally, they took good care of our furniture, and they were friendly and helpful. I would definitely use them again.

They were great. Came on time. Even text me when they were on their way. They finished in less than 2 hours and used the additional time to help us move furniture and boxes around. This is the 3rd move I have used them and would tell anyone it's well worth every penny.

The moving labor helpers were excellent, they helped me out at the last minute to unload my 26 footy truck in 3 hours
