Garland and Exsaviar were polite and easy to work with. They worked well together and were very efficient. We plan to request their services when we set up delivery to our new house.

My husband and brother drove our truck from Everett, WA to Kearney, Missouri. He left on Tuesday and arrive late on Thursday night. I scheduled two helpers for 4 hours each to help unload a 26 foot truck and a 16 foot POD. The name of the company was called Weekend Warriors. My husband called me around 2 PM Central Standard time to say they were done. The two hired helpers cam around 10 am and they did a fabulous job according to both my brother and husband. I was worried that I should have ordered the help a day later because I thought they would be too tired from driving across the country. In any case, it got done. They said these helpers worked really hard and did a great job. I will definitely use Hired Helpers again. Thank you, Glorianne Bora

I moved on a Sunday morning. I had requested 2 workers, but to my surprise 3 showed up. They guys were at my house on time. Very nice and respectful to me & my property. (The guys, I know one was Garland, however, I don't recall the name of the other 2 crew members, sorry) but were prepared for the job and worked hard. I'm the 3rd person in my family that has used Weekend Warriors and I highly recommend.

Very considerate, polite and prompt but I think the experience of how to properly pack a pod to utilize space, the special handling of antique items with glass doors or curved glass for a long distance move from one state to another was missing. Unfortunately all my items did not get moved and I will need to go thru this process again to pack the garage/garden items. I had a lot of odds and ends of smaller items but no big appliances. A good try was given but experience was lacking.

Mover's response:
Upsetting when a customer is upset and taking it out at our moving crew because all of their items could not fit into the pod they had paid for. We do not control the size of the pods that customers order, and all of the household items were loaded. The garden shed and garage items would not fit, and another pod is going to be needed. Many times, customers do not think about those areas when booking their Pods. This does not fall on our moving teams experience as there is just no way all their belongings were going to fit. Hopefully they consider our services in the future. All items loaded were secured and wrapped and had no damages.

Had a very good experience with this crew. Caviar and his helper where efficient and we got the job done fast. I hope to never move again but if I do I will use these people.

These guys were absolutely amazing!! We just relocated and had a 3 bedroom house packed into a POD and they were very careful with our belongings and our new place. Where we moved is smaller and has a basement. They handled everything, including my washer and dryer with care. We have moved enough times for me to say this was the absolute best experience with movers I have ever had. When we move again, definitely calling these guys back. On time, nice, polite, professional, careful, I highly recommend.

Did and bad job damaged cabinets by cracking with heavy boxes and will not take responsibility, becareful and watch, beware of what they are doing at all times with this company sheisty, I paid 1 person to help me put my house back together because I am elderly and disabled black woman and he came to my house 20 to 30 minutes before the pod was almost empty I moved in with a full pantry 15 to 20 boxes the hired helpers had to drop these bottom boxes to the floor and cracked not scratch the middle cabinet panels not one but 2 and told there father that I had a random man helping me move please tell me what grown mature woman in her 60s is moving to a downtown area and inviting random men in her home in Kansas City, Missouri make it make sense because she will not be long for this world that we live in, I posted this because these people don't know me from a can of paint and choose to stomp on my character myself being a strong blk Queen with morals and my own money to buy their moving services, I will always defend my character as a god fearing woman, and I am not pressed for money whatsoever If you use Weekend Warrior Moving Becareful and watch your back sheisty and under hand ,you have been warned !!! I Stand 10 toes down Make it Make Sense, Why would I need 5 men to unload 1 pod and pay this company for 3hrs labor for 2 men I'm SMH Conscious signs for the Conscious mind

Mover's response:
This customer had her friends helping with her move. 3 days later, sent a photo of a scratched cabinet door demanding “cash money” We replied to her after speaking with her crew. Our guys witnessed her friend drop a box that she sent pics of with canned goods in it next to the scratched cabinet door, and she is accusing our team of dropping into the cabinet door that she sent photos of. I told her that she would need to have the owner of the property contact us for repair cost and we would handle it with the owner even after telling her that the crew witnessed her friend cause the scratch on the cabinet door. This person was very unprofessional and is a scammer, she is mad because we were not offering her money for a scratch on a small kitchen cabinet door that her friend caused. We Offered to take it up with the landlord/owner of property. she was cursing and yelling on the phone once she realized we weren’t giving her any monies directly for a scratch on a door that her friend caused. We are insured for these kinds of things for if WE cause damages to anything. We want to be sure our customers are compensated appropriately if anything does happen; however Making false claims and just trying to extort cash is not how businesses handle these things. If the actual owner contacts us, then they will be directed to file as well as be told what was witnessed by our crew.

We were incredibly impressed with the four movers sent to us by Weekend Warriors through the Hire-a-Helper network. From the moment they arrived, they were personable, respectful, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. They treated our belongings with great care and managed to load both our POD and U-Haul truck with remarkable speed and precision.



It was immediately clear that they were seasoned professionals—efficient, coordinated, and thoughtful about how to maximize space and protect our items. We’ve moved many times over the past 40+ years, and we can honestly say this team was among the very best we’ve ever worked with. If we could bring them along for every future move, we absolutely would. Highly recommend.

I want to amend my earlier review to be more clear about what went well and what I felt did not.
What went well: the men were on time, considerate and polite. They went right to work on moving the requested items and carried everything out of the house without damaging anything. A 3rd coworker came that was not expected and he worked as well at no further cost.
What I felt did not go well: I had searched through the POD storage container website for movers who knew how to load a POD correctly and efficiently. Weekend warrior had great reviews. In retrospect the reviews may not have been for how well they loaded a storage unit. These movers did not demonstrate skill in loading our items. We ended up repacking the POD the next day, not just for efficiency but also to wrap and protect the items and position them so they would not get damaged in the move.
My recomendation is that for moving furniture around, help with heavy lifting, carrying items to a truck Weekend Warrior Movers is great. For packing items securely and efficiently i would check elsewhere.

Mover's response:
Disheartening and hopefully they consider using the platform in the future. Customer decided on their own that the guys did not load items securely and chose to rearrange their pod after the job was completed. Nothing was damaged, nothing was loaded improperly, nothing was left unsecured etc… can’t help those that hire us and then decide themselves that they are the moving professionals once we have completed the work in a professional manner. IF this pod is relocated and any items come back damaged, then I will decline any responsibility or claims since customer went back in and repacked the pod after we left.
