I got 2 helpers for 2 hours. They were friendly and did the job well and even finished before the 2 hours were out.
Definitely recommend Ogre Man!

Update to this review: After I posted this review, the owner proceeded to send 103 texts full of insults, profanities and threats that got progressively scarier and increasingly lost touch with reality. He included my address, full name and a picture of my face he found online and threatened to slander my business. I have reached out to Hire A Helper about a serious safety concern with this business owner and am very concerned that he could actually be dangerous. It is my sincere hope that this mover is removed from the platform. I sincerely regret that this business owner was given my name and phone number.

This was my initial review: Three movers showed up visibly stoned. I paid for two hours, but after one hour, they wanted to leave. My bike was crammed behind a bunch of boxes they had ratchet strapped to a plastic sewing machine case until it broke. I asked them to reposition things in the truck and they started a dumb argument so that they could leave early without having to make any changes. They spent far more time arguing with me and insulting me than it would have taken to simply rearrange a few items. I was also a woman alone being called names by three giant men in my own home, which became too intimidating to want to deal with. I asked them to leave. When I called in, the owner didn't seem worried or surprised by his crew's behavior. He just told me about what great reviews he had and that he didn't have anyone else who could come finish the job. A scary, pointlessly unpleasant experience. At least Ogre Man Movers is accurately named.

Mover's response:
Updated Review: We really hate to put this womans business in public but this is ridiculous, we are in the middle of pressing charges against this woman and this is how she behaves. This woman has now prceeded to harass me for 2 days straight all of which has been recorded and documented with hireahelper, yelp, google, and the BBB, you can literally go to yelp as I have posted all the pictures of this conversation and you can see clearly this woman is the one who messaged me non stop after I asked her dozens of times to stop contacting me. she literally said to my face "who hires blacks these days, there are much better labor options" I then refused to service her job and refused to listen to her demands any further, after she already forced us to rearrange the pod. Once leaving she then sent me nearly 150 messages from multiple numbers, harassing me threatening me for days on end after I have begged to leave me alone, those messages pictured are my responses to about 5 of the hundreds of messages this insane person sent. I have had to leave reviews against her with the better business bureau, yelp, and google as this behavior will not be tolerated. In addition we will be notifying multiple media outlets about this woman Catherine M as her jewelry business needs to be boycotted as she exploits people of color without them knowing she's insanely racist. All employees on this job were disrespected, talked down to, and were subjected to behavior no one should be. Because this person demanded we load things knowing they would break, and she refused to sign a waiver of liability, she unfolded this tempter tantrum you see before you into out of control racism and harassment. The only picture that was sent to you was a screenshot from google showing where our attorney is serving you with paperwork for your lawsuit. Honestly this behavior is unacceptable and again for the millionth time please stop messaging us and respond directly to our attorney. I have posted pictures of this womans harassment on yelp as well as my responses which are as polite as can possibly be someone who treated us the way she did.




Original Review: Hands down the worst customer we have had in a while. 1st all of our employees are randomly drug tested constantly, so thats ludacris, and the fact of the matter is we found your drug paraphernalia mixed with trash all over your house and told you you needed to clean your home for us to continue moving as we do not move filthy people with drugs and trash everywhere, which made you irate. You also only paid for 2 people we sent a 3rd free of charge, as the job before yours had 3 people, which is why the job went so quickly for you. 2nd we packed your truck perfectly you then demanded it be repacked to your specifications which completely absolves ourself as well as hireahelper of liability. When you called the owner he tried to explain to you that we have to pack trucks our way for liability purposes you then started demanding we do it your way, which was unsafe and without proper supplies. Nothing was packed improperly until you demanded we pack it your way which we told you was wrong from the get go! Why hire professionals if you apparently know everything about the moving industry yourself? You're rude and disrespectful, we tried to explain multiple times the way you wanted your truck packed was not safe and you tried to demand we pack your truck in a way we knew would break your items and we declined, we don't pack items knowing they will break. We also reserve the right to refuse anyone service, especially racist people who talk down to us such as yourself. Honestly you're lucky we stayed as long as we did with the way you behaved. Everything about you and your attitude is unacceptable and we flat out refuse service to you! I don't know how many times I have to say it, just because you rent a service does mot mean you own us!

They were very quick and did a great job. They even moved a table to the trash that I wasn’t going to move with me! I recommend them for anyone!

Quian and Chris R. are excellent at their job. Very good at packing your things into the truck. They were courteous, kind, polite and they are masters at the game of Tetris for sure. They were careful with our belongings and we would highly recommend them and we plan to ask for them specifically on the next truck to go out in a few weeks.
