Only one mover, David, showed up. David was on time and worked hard and carefully.

Mover's response:
The 2nd man was on his way and would have gotten there later in the arrival window. Because of bad cell reception in the storage unit we could not have updated you on the arrival time.
Once we got in contact we turned him back since you indicated you and David could complete the job. He would have shown up.

I cannot recommend Eric and Shaw highly enough! They moved all my stuff down from my apartment and expertly packed it into my tiny truck. I’m so grateful for their help with my move. It certainly helped reduce my stress a great deal.

Phillip arrived on time and had also contacted me the morning of to make sure the move was still happening. He was careful with our furniture and boxes. We had 6 flights of steps to go up and down during the process, and I never heard any complaints.

My two movers were amazing and moved several things up my 5 flights of stairs in little time! I would definitely recommend!

These guys got a full list of what I needed them to move- there were no surprises. But they were not able to move my standard furniture and appliances- claimed it was to heavy.
Did not show up on time.
Did not have a manager to coordinate the lifting- 2 guys worked, 1 guy was loafing around.
I kept reaching out to Hire A Helper throughout this disastrous day, but they only made empty promises and did not help me. Definitely don't use PROMOVE, but better yet, don't book through Hire A Helper at all.

Mover's response:
There were surprises! You booked 3 men to move a 2 bedroom house. One man was late. Some boxes and some books is not a "full list" you didn't mention you had Hogwarth's library books to move.
Moving from one building to the next on the same block no truck up & down 8 flights of stairs in the summer heat is brutal! 4 flights at the old house moving to 4 flights of stairs is a job for at least 5 men. The guy you said was loafing was the middle man on the stairs working. They were too burnt out to move all the heavy furniture after moving boxes & about 100 huge 10lb books. I almost pulled that crew from the job. I know you're paying for them to work but they are human & that workload was just too much. We even sent fresh guys towards the end to try to help.

Excellent experience with PROMOVE. Great communication right up to the move-in day. Movers showed up on time and worked so hard! It was a 4th floor walk up so it wasn’t an easy move, but both Oliver and David worked with a smile on their face regardless of how brutal I knew the move was.

Highly recommend Kirk and his team! Well done PROMOVE!

Only one mover showed up and he was great. He showed up early and worked very hard to get everything done in 2 hours by himself. I would not have been able move without him.
