Our two guys showed up right on time and were great to work with. We needed help loading our Upack relocubes and had a lot to fit in them so it was a bit like a big puzzle or game of Tetris to fit everything in the cubes. They worked non-stop and figured out how to safely and efficiently get all of our furniture and boxes inside. We were really happy with their speed and they even gave us some helpful packing tips along the way.

They came on time,were prepared,worked very hard and did a very good job. I only hope the guys who unload the pod are as good. They did a very good job loading heavy items in hot weather. Thank You for sending such a good crew.

Mover's response:
Thanks a bunch Michael , those were some serious safes! Glad we had the right tools to get the job done safe! Those guys are the best in the biz.

Nick and Brendan went above and beyond and made my move so much less stressful. They worked nonstop for the entirety of the 3 hour job. I would definitely recommend them.

the four young men that came were organized, professional, worked well as a team. They unloaded three very full PODs in around 4 hours. They were on time and called in advance. They worked extremely hard and it was over 91' that day. We made sure they drank a lot of water and I made them lunch, which was my pleasure,they did not ask for either water or food, but I'm a mom and take care of my "boys" :) We would definitely use them again and would refer them to friends as well. Nothing was broken either. thank you

They did a good job considering how complicated the job was. However, there are a couple of boxes which I have yet to locate either in my apt. or in the pod. They were on time and worked hard. I would use them again.

Get To Know Us

What can a customer expect after booking with you?

After booking, you will receive an email that provides the phone number for 5-Star Moving. We do our very best to call clients within 48 hours. However, during the busy season sometimes it’s best to contact us if you want to go over your move details!

What can a customer expect on moving day if they hire you?

The movers will always call the day of your move if we are running at all behind, if you don’t hear from us this is usually a good sign, it means we are on track so try not to stress!

How should a customer prepare for moving day?

Having items well boxes is the #1 time saver and a sure way to keep your bill as low as possible. If you have 1 container, expect the move to take 2 to 3 hours. If you have 2 containers expect the move to take 4 to 6 hours. Remember - lamps, lamp shades, and small items should be boxed if you want them to arrive safely to your destination. Small items in general can increase the move time by double so having all these items in boxes really does help. Buy plastic wrap, straps and blankets for us.

What types of moves have you handled?

We on an average load of 60+ containers/month. Meaning our movers are extremely versed in the art of PODS loading. We also do truck work and have been in the moving industry for over 10 years. Some of our veteran loaders have been in the industry for 20+ years. Whoever shows up, rest assured you’re in good hands.

What's your favorite part about being a mover?

Our favorite part of being a mover is the satisfaction of a job done right. We see every day poorly loaded rental trucks and POD containers, we also see the frustration from those clients who have poor experiences. We love when the client is watching with his/her eyes wide open while we wrap their valued belongings.

What training do you provide your crew members?

All of our team members are carefully trained. They all know and understand the price of furniture and the value. Because of this, they take extra caution when loading your items. They also expect to have the right materials to do their job properly, this is why it’s important for you, the client, to always have the 3 essentials - plastic wrap, blankets and ratchet straps (NOT ROPE!).
