Azar and Courtney were beyond amazing. They packed up my apartment so swiftly and could not recommend them enough! Please consider hiring them for all your moving needs!

They communicated before arriving. - a plus
They appeared inexperienced in the CLUMSY way they carried things down the stairs- a minus
It took them 20 minutes to bring the first item down - big minus
After waiting an extremely long time after the first item came I went back inside and found the mattress midway down the stairs and no one in sight. I began to move it after making a LOUD “ hail no!” I got it down a flight and one of the guys came to finish it - BIG MINUS
At the end of the two hours I went back upstairs( I had been packing the truck myself because clearly they were not efficient)to find a that NONE of the ( shrink wrapped bundles) books had been touched yet multiple lightweight(sled, or lamp, or pillows) were brought down - BEYOND DISAPPOINTED-ULTIMATE MINUS.
I had even written a priority list of the items and had it taped to the wall when you walk in the door. That was not paid any attention to.
I don’t know if it was intentional to have items unpacked at the end of the two hours so they could charge for more time or the guys were clueless but I was DONE with them after two hours and my daughter and I lugged the books down ourselves after she got home from work
Maybe if you have one person in the apartment and another at the truck you could manage more efficiently but we did not.
This pair of guys were lacking in my opinion. They were better than doing without hired loaders but barely.

Mover's response:
Ma'am. Sorry, you were the problem. You decided right away that Courtney & Azar didn't know what they were doing & you would pack the truck & dictate the process. Your stuff your way! That can work only to a point, Our crews will yield to your preferences as long as it does not compromise their safety.
You can't tell experienced movers how to move furniture in a way they deem to be unsafe on the stairs.
They spent the 1st 10 mins moving items from the congested apartment into the hallway so there would be a clear path for the larger items that should've gone in the truck 1st...but you know better so what they did was BS to you. Moving trucks are packed systematically, we understand prioritized items but they can't necessarily be brought to the truck in exactly the order you wrote them based on our knowledge of how to load etc. We don't waste time on jobs, throughout our reviews there are references to our efficiency & care. We have been ranked in the top 5 in NYC for a decade & are ranked 40th in the nation. Your preconceptions and lack of respect were overlooked by our crew and they maintained professionalism throughout. Someone didn't know what they were doing, that someone was you.

Both movers were wonderful. They were creative with getting things out and did what needed to be done! They were communicative and helpful. I appreciate them both and would recommend for any moving job inn the future.

I was grateful to find help for my move to a 4-story walkup on short notice. My helpers were a few minutes late, but Promove let me know that they were running late. They were nice and hard working people. They were quick and courteous. My only complaint is that I didn’t hear directly from Promove until 5 minutes before the scheduled time. I did get an email confirmation from Hire a Helper, but my call and text to Promove on the day before and the day of the move were not returned. This turned out to be fine, but I was nervous because I wasn’t sure they were going to show up.

Mover's response:
We tried calling and left a message. We ALWAYS show up

They were rushing and neglectful while loading, they did not listen to instructions while they pile up stuff in the container but insisted to do it their own way, which lead to damage of items during transportation.

They left behind some of my stuff in the hallway /lobby / yard of the building, not loaded to the container, the stuff they left behind was lost.

Mover's response:
This review is for us? You had Courtney & Azar, not guys who just pile stuff up when packing so this review is alarming. Your perception & point of view is valid & will not be dismissed. I Will debrief that crew and call you.
