They were on time and worked hard, however, they were extremely slow. An expected 5-6 hour job took them over 11 hours. Although I understand that the home was a bit larger than expected for 2 movers, they were extremely inefficient.
****I am writing this part after I saw the reply they posted****When the movers came back the next day, they were there for 3 hours and said that it would take them only an hour an half, they didn't even finish loading those items which were not much at all and left us with a couch a chairs and a desk and lamps that we needed to load ourselves (single mom with 13 year old kid). They left important things that should have been loaded at the beginning like the couches and we ended up having to load these things in a second truck (which they didn't think was needed to begin with after I asked them multiple times). Additionally their customer service hasn't been great to say the least. When we contacted the manager, he kept saying not to load the TVs because they didn't have permission to put them in the truck without boxes, although we purchased over $230 worth of blankets and plastic wrap to make sure everything was protected).
They were slow, I have seen movers work in the past many many times and maybe the fact that I had a large house (4 bedrooms, less than 2800sqf not the 4k the loader mentioned in their reply) made them think maybe that time is not of the essence. There was a period where I didn't see them moving at all from 2pm to 4pm and I was very concerned, then sometimes I would go to the truck and they were in their car, or they would take their sweet time looking at how to make things fit in the truck, by taking things out and then reorganizing them which was tons of time and money wasted.
I spent a over $1100 on a 4 bedroom, my house is not even fully furnished, they made it sound like I had more furniture than usual.
I wasn't gonna write all these details, but after seeing how rude the reply was, I had to explain what really happened.

I’m so grateful that I didn’t have to unload the truck! They were amazing! I was impressed with their work.
Tracye S
Guys were very nice and unloaded a 16 foot that was about 2/3 of the way loaded in right at an hour. We’re a little late getting here but all in all it got done.

Larry and Timothy were awesome! Not only did they show on time, but went straight to work! They worked until all of the work was complete!

If you will be hiring us to load your rental truck, trailer or portable shipping container it is imperative that you provide an adequate amount of moving blankets, plastic stretch wrap and rope to avoid serious damage to your items.

Our favorite part about being movers is that we get to help someone with literally the hardest and most stressful task of their adult life.
What training do you provide your crew members?
All of our crew leaders are required to have a minimum of 4 years professional moving experience and upon hire, undergo at least 2 weeks of training with the owner of the company (a very particular veteran mover in the industry) before being set free to operate independently.
