Were they on time? Yes
Were they prepared for the job? No, they didn't bring any of the items requested on the work order. Stated the equipment requests were not on their work order. Equipment: Furniture Dolly 1 No Fee
Equipment: Hand Tools for Assembly 1 No Fee
Equipment: Handtruck 1 No Fee
Did they work hard? Yes! They were very nice and polite. As professional packers I expected they would have aids such as shoulder harnesses to aid themselves and prevent injury in moving large & bulky furniture items. They muscled all the furniture and I was concerned a few times that they were going to injure themselves.
Were they respectful of your property and goods? Yes but some items were not properly wrapped and minor damage occurred to one dresser due to improper wrapping.
Would you use them again? Maybe

Thanks for the 4 start review Carrel. We appreciate your feedback.

The Good: They were communicative and showed up on-time and in short-notice. The Bad: They were slow, inefficient, and pretty lazy. The truck could easily have been unloaded in just over an hour, but it took two. Not a huge deal... we booked 2 hours anyway. But the 2 pieces of furniture that were built in 1841 that we said many times to be very careful with, they were not. It wasn't even an accident. They dropped it forcefully onto the ground from the truck, snapping off a large piece. We took pictures and talked about it with the guys on the site who said to call the manager Deshaun who would make everything right. A week later when we connected, he said he couldn't help me since I didn't purchase insurance. So I was told that if I don't have insurance, the movers can really do anything they want to our property, and it's at our liability. Great customer service. We'll tell our extended family that Deshaun isn't liable for the family heirloom if we don't buy his insurance, and I'm sure they'll be cool with the situation. Deshaun didn't even apologize. Really? At least be human and display some degree of empathy. Needless to say, I would not recommend and will not be using S&L again.

Mover's response:
actual texversation between Joe and myself:

Thanks you. Again, in the future I would high recommend purchasing insurance for an item of such value and crating it. A piece that old is very fragile and although my team exercises extreme caution, a fragile piece like that can be damaged easily. We are never careless with our customers belongings. If you send me some clear pictures and an estimate for repair, we will be willing to assist in some way depending on the cost(more, but wouldn't fit)

The guys did a very good job loading my pod. They used up just about every square inch of space. They were a little late arriving, but they worked hard once they got there to get it all done. They were also very courteous.

All three guys were great, very personable. They showed up on time, got right to work, and we're very helpful in general. My only complaint is that some stuff did get damaged that wasn't wrapped. If they'd told me that they didn't have enough blankets, for things like wooden dining chairs, I would have gotten more, or had them wait to load them so I could have wrapped them myself. So as long as you provide tons of moving blankets (you really can never have too many) they were fantastic to work with. They were very respectful of my family and property, and they were able to stay an extra hour. My truck was packed to the gills, and they made use of every inch of space. Everything they were able to adequately wrap was in mint condition.

Mover's response:
Thanks for the review Shane. Yes, we require plenty of furniture pads. We ALWAY recommend the pads when talking to our customers and beg them to have an adequate supply. The furniture pads can be rented from the truck\container company for approximately $10 a dozen and is the best investment that you can make. They are VITAL to a move.

I have used moving labor helpers quite a few times and this time was my first bad experience. The workers were friendly and punctual. This move involved 10 larger pieces of furniture (mattresses, box springs, sectional sofa, etc.) a few smaller pieces (dining chairs, office chair, nightstand) and approx. 45 boxes, half of which only needed to be moved from a cargo van into the pod. While being friendly and pleasant, the helpers were very disorganized and didn't seem to have knowledge of moving and packing. The move was from the third floor to street level (no elevator) although one mattress and box spring were already at ground level as were about half of the boxes. We hired 2 helpers for 3 hours but they were unable to finish in that time resulting in additional charges. We have made similar moves in the past involving carrying furniture 3 flights and have never had a problem.

Mover's response:
Thanks for your feedback Matt. There was "NO Damage", and we could have discussed the 30 mins additional time. Our main concern moving from the 3rd floor was for the team to be careful with your furniture items. Although there were initially only approximately 10 pieces, there were additional items being deliver throughout the move which caused adjusting of the containers content which also takes time to do.
