Let me preface by saying first I'm an engineer and project manager, so I may have a different approach to small projects like this. I don't want to appear ungrateful, as Precious Cargo stepped up to move my items out of PODS and into my basement and garage on a day's notice when the OTHER movers were a no-show. These guys really tried. But unfortunately they arrived without proper equipment (no dollies and no tools, even though my original order stated the need for those items and movers should have them regardless), which resulted in misuse of my new furniture dollies. They drug the furniture dollies (intended for use in the house and garage) through the gravel and mud, pitting and ruining the wheels and embedding debris in them. The duvet that was covering my air hockey table also was drug through the mud, and I'm still trying to get the stain out. I did run to Lowes and buy 2 regular dollies for them to use as soon as they said they didn't have any, but in the hour I was gone the damage was done.

Also, I had to remind them to not lean or rest on my Mercedes sports car. That should have gone without saying.

But they DID get the items moved out of 2 PODS when the other company failed to show, so I appreciate that. I think better prep and some basic customer etiquette would make this a fantastic company. Easy fixes that I anticipate they'll make. ?

Mover's response:
Thanks for your response. Yes we are open to constructive critisim. In our defense we did not ever get the original order. We do not know what was asked in that order. I showed you our order and before we showed up i called and asked you was there anything we needed and you said no. We state that we provide MANPOWER unless otherwise notified. It was also pouring rain the day of your move and they were trying to move very heavy items that were not packed properly around mud and your luxury car which should have not been anywhere near the garage if that was our entry point for your furniture. We apologize for the mud. We do have customer etiquette..we just didnt do things outside of our listed job after an hour drive to you, your disrespecting my crew, moving in pouring rain, and all on less than 24hr notice. We appreciate all business and this was a learning and growth experience.

They worked their tail off for us. Very hard working on time in fact they were early stayed a little late they were completely worth every single penny. You actually need to hire these people if you’re going to move because no one’s going to take care of you better than they will Super sweet family love them can’t say enough good about them.

Mover's response:
Thank you! It was so nice to meet you and your family. Thanks for trusting us with your moving needs!

The team was amazing. They showed up early (when has that ever happened?!) and we're incredibly efficient. Everything flowed almost magically from one apartment into my truck and then out of the truck into the new apartment. I truly appreciate the Precious Cargo team I met today and will be recommending them to everyone I know and using again when I move next. Thank you for an amazing job moving all my furniture without any damage and quick bedframe assembly. Precious Cargo was the best experience I've ever had with a moving company.

Mover's response:
Thank you for your very kind words. We will be looking forward to future business with you!
