These movers were incredibly helpful and made our move easy! Hiring them was the best choice we made for our moving day.

We needed to get an early start to our move. They showed up on time bright and early in the morning and got straight to work. They were careful, efficient, and did an excellent job packing the truck. Plus, they were very friendly and helpful, so it it made what could've been a stressful event very easy.

I would book them again in an instant.

Dear Sirs,

Through your company I hired help to carry our stuff from inside our house to the PODS container stationed in my driveway.

The service was provided on July 26th in Rye, NY.

Ahead of time, knowing that space was going to be a crucial matter, I measured all items to be placed inside the pods, measured the pods’ internal area and I created a layout showing where all items should be placed, considering weight, size, fragility and better use of space.

I sticked the layout in the entrance of the pods and as I showed it to the worker who seemed to be the coordinator of the team, he shook his head and said “ my experience in doing this tells me that we should change some items there to avoid damages”. I found it a valuable information and agreed with his suggestion. But, at the same time told him that would be very important to fill in all the spaces in order to have our boxes and stuff fitting in the container.

After some other disagreements on how to more efficiently utilize the spaces, I opted for not creating a bad vibe so I let him lead the job in his way. He put stuff inside the container leaving some spaces empty, and right there I realized what results we would get at the end of the job.

The coordinator complained with the other worker from beginning to end (this created an unpleasant vibe). At some point, more towards the end of the three hours period, they started a rash discussion that ended because the other worker just gave up arguing.

As I said, I observed that there were some empty space in the middle of the container that could compromise the goal that was to have all of my stuff inside the container at the end of the job, so I started giving, again, suggestions on how to use those empty spaces. Most of the time he told me he had 20 years experience and he knew what he was doing.

I tried to change strategy to convince him. At some point I asked him to make another tour in the house to check what was still there to see if it would fit in the container, which we did but he said nothing.

Towards the end, my wife came to the door of the container (she was more inside the house) and seeing that several items were still outside she said everything had to fit inside.

The coordinator said that it was not possible to put everything inside and, out of the blue, pulled down the container door and said “that’s it. Nothing else can be placed in here”, leaving several items outside. I told him that some items that were out were part of furniture that was inside. I should not leave them out. He said “no way it would fit in there” and the job was finished.

We were in disbelief. Had he followed the layout instructions from the beginning we should have used around 90% of the container’s area.

As it was not enough, the coordinator sat down in a chair, that was now to stay in the house, according to him, and said to me I had to pay for three set of stairs in the house, asking me if I would pay cash ($50 each set). At first, I did not understand what his request was since all details about the move and the house had been previously given (meaning, when I quoted the job I specified what would be carried and the specifics about the split house where the belongings were located). He said that could be $100 for two sets of stairs. Then I talked to a lady who was supposed to be his boss. I refused to pay cash and told her that if there was any additional service, it should be charged in my credit card, according to the contract, specifying in the invoice the nature of the service. A couple of minutes later I saw in my email that I ended up being charged by Hire a Helper an additional of $80 through my credit card.

I like to tip workers, but I didn’t tip this time. This experience made our day very unpleasant, to say the least.

After the workers were gone, I hired, locally, two workers who took out from the container about 10% of the stuff, filled out all the empty space that was left in the middle of the container and we were able to put back everything. The only thing from the several item that were out, we left behind just a love seat that would require me to move out more stuff, but would have fitted had I done the way I planned.

I must say that the other helper was a polite and helpful man. Sadly, under the circumstances, we forgot to tip him. He really deserved a good one.

Hope this review helps your company to have good workers in your profile to better serve your customers.

Both of the men that arrived were friendly and professional. They were on time and very helpful in letting me know how certain things needed to be wrapped for safety reasons. They both worked very hard and did an excellent and clean job. I would highly recommend the team that came to my home and would use them again.
