Ogre man did a terrific job! They were prompt, courteous, fast and got everything loaded in less than what I'd contracted them to do. Too bad I'm moving out of the area or else they would be my "go to" movers!

When the delivery of my storage container was delayed, Ogre Man was very understanding and pushed back their arrival time. I used Ogre Man twice and they were friendly and respectful on both times. I highly recommend them.

If you like no-shows, hire these jerks. I read their good reviews and thought I had nothing to worry about... until the call came 45 minutes after their arrival window had already closed and it was Ogre Man telling me they weren't coming. Completely unapologetic, avoid at all costs.

Mover's response:
I think you have us confused with a different crew...ogre man movers and HireAHelper always show up to jobs and gets jobs covered by other crews if they are running late....No one in this company just doesn't show up....EVER

No show. No calls. Unprofessional.

Ogre Man Movers was supposed to show up between 1pm-2pm to help us move our 1 bedroom apartment. At 2:30pm HireAHelper called to inform us that Ogre Man was stuck at another job at would be there a few hours late and would be at our place by 6pm. Ogre Man was unprofessional, as they should have called us once they realize they were going to be late. We never received a call.

At 6pm, I called Ogre Man and spoke to David. He informed me that the movers were on their way and that he told my wife the ETA already. By the time I arrived home from work around 7:30pm, I expected Ogre Man to have been onsite moving boxes already. But they no showed us. I called David, but he didn't pick up and his mailbox was full. My wife texted him, no replies.

This company is very unprofessional, they do not call when they will be late, and rather than telling us at 6pm that they could not complete our job, they said they were on their way and no showed us.

Mover's response:
The morning job was running over a cpl hours....I called and said we were behind schedule and then got another crew out to you immediately we called multiple times to tell you...in no way shape or form is that a no show

These guys hustled and did a great job unloading our moving truck. In 2 hours they had everything out and placed in the proper room for us. They arrived on time, were polite and we couldn't have done it without them! Thanks, guys!

They did a fair job, in a tough situation. The load went OK, but the unload took longer than it should have.
At one point they had an elevator full of boxes and furniture, and started to unload it on the wrong floor.
I'm thinking we'll try an alternative loading crew when we have to move out of this apartment.

Mover's response:
Elevators and 1000 yard walks add a lot of extra time which we stated....we don't just send out more employees for free you had stated you wanted more help but couldn't afford it...the crew hustled but there is nothing we could do about the elevator or walk. Thanks Ogre Man Movers llc

Crew arrived 1 1/2 hours late, but apologized saying their previous job took longer than expected. They worked hard, fast and were done in less time than they had been hired for. I would recommend them.

Should have sent 4 people.
The first 2 times they came, they were loading our stuff into PODS for storage, and they arrived late. The "boss" David showed up the first time, and brought 2 helpers. The second time, just the helpers came, and took the whole 2 hours, and did not seem to have a good grip on what they were doing.
The 3rd time (moving from the house to an apartment), just the 2 helpers showed up (David had indicated he would be there also, but got called to another job), and took much longer to get the job done (at one point, instead of unloading an elevator on our floor, they started unloading it on the floor below, "not the sharpest knives in the drawer"). To be nice and to keep them working, we bought them some pizza. They did require lots of supervision.

Mover's response:
You got a third person for free because the job after yours had three people. Your second part of the move took longer because there was a 1000 yard walk and an elevator to deal with which adds multiple hours. We do not provide free employees if you needed more employees you just needed to call and pay for additional help. They are the same employees that service hundreds of other families and individuals no problem. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your business. Ogre Man Movers llc
