George and team were amazing. They showed up on time and worked the entire time on-site and communicated with me and my wife very well. They took care with each piece and nothing was broke, dented or scratched. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Mover's response:
Thank you so much for that great review.

These guys are the worse. They come and want to leave as soon as they get there but expect to be paid for all the hours. They left without completing the job and then the owner does not answer his phone. This is the 2nd time using them and all I can say is BEWARE you will not get your monies worth.

Mover's response:
This was a moving company that left this review. I answered and talked to the lady in New York, she had no idea what was going on down here in Florida. My 5 movers emptied the truck and unwrapped all the furniture as per work order. She had no clue her driver was lazy, unorganized, and lost most of the hardware so furniture could not be assembled. Job WAS completed and I DID talk with her when she called. Complete false review.

I would recommend them, they were very careful not to ding my walls or my furniture. They were on time and worked hard. If I ever move again I would use them.

Mover's response:
Thank you so much for your review of our services.

Mike & John were wonderful! They went above and beyond and never complained about the stairs they had to climb! They worked quickly and efficiently and built everything for us - so thankful! They were personable, helped make moving fun, and supplied plenty of jokes & laughs with us! Thanks, guys!

Mover's response:
Being personable and reliving some of the stress that comes with moving is our goal. While getting the job completed.Thank you so much for the review.

Movers did not show up on time. When I contacted them they advised that workers did not show up and tried to schedule for another day. After I complained, owners daughter and one laborer showed up to move my things. My partner had to help the movers so essentially we really only had one mover not the two movers I prepaid for. Movers dropped my dresser causing drywall damage and paint damage in my stairwell. Movers promised to repair damage and it has been over a week.

Mover's response:
What you are saying is a full grown woman (30 years old) cannot be a mover? That is a terrible statement.

I was a repeat HireAHelper customer after a great past experience in PA. Now living in FL I used them again but had a rough experience during a recent move. The subcontraced labor group was Southern Cross in Ft Myers who is not reliable. My original order was for 4 helpers for up to 4 hours arriving by 8am. The evening before the move I received an email from HireAHelper at 5:48pm that only 3 helpers would now be coming. The next morning nobody arrived by 8am and I began calling to find out if anyone was coming. Nobody answered the phone at Southern Cross or HireAHelper (they are on Pacific time). I finally received a call back around 8:45am telling me the 3 person crew was on their way for 9am arrival. At 9:10 nobody had arrived so I called Southern Cross again to have nobody answer. The 3 person crew finally arrived at 10am and provided some of the help I needed for 3 hours. At 1pm the crew handed me the job completion paperwork, even though I still had work to be done. They mentioned nothing about the hour still remaining on my agreement. The paperwork said they only worked 3 hours and, given they were no longer engaged in my project, I signed it and let them leave assuming I would not pay for the 4th hour. The HireAHelper agreement implies the 4th hour is a flexible extra hour if needed. Southern Cross then charged for all 4 hours claiming the fine print in the ageement lets them do this. I have tried to contact Southern Cross via phone and email numerous times about this overcharge and they will not answer or respond. I am pretty sure they are screening my number and not answering on purpose. I tried to get help through HireAHelper directly and they claim it is up to the local company to help resolve this. After Southern Cross failed to work with me HireAHelper stepped in to support me and get my situation resolved appropriately. Beware of Southern Cross Moving in Ft. Myers as they are not dependable or trustworthy.

Mover's response:
Hireahelper contracts have arrival windows of 1 hour, never exact times, so we were to arrive between 8:00 - 9:00. Again your job was completed within 4 hours with 3 movers. If you would had 4 movers they would have completed the job sooner and you would have paid extra for the 4th mover thus you actually saved money.

I had paid for 2 men for 3 hours, when the men got there they said they were told to unload l container. When I told them I paid for 3 hrs they said they couldn’t because on their sheet it had unload 1 container (which was half emptied since my husband, son & myself had unloaded the day before). We hired these people because my husband is not in good health and couldn’t do heavy lifting. I WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN!!! Thieves and liars DO NOT USE THEM!

Mover's response:
Those are very hurtful words, we were paid to unload and set up furniture. Anything that does not involve moving we cannot do. Hanging painting, unboxing, debris removal ect. We are movers and your move was completed.

Mr. Baskin and Mr. Cordel did a wonderful job of packing our pod. They listened and did what was asked of them. They were polite and kept the movement going. They actually finished a little earlier, but that just showed the hardwork and effort they put into the move.

Mover's response:
Thank you so much for leaving a review, we apricate it.

What's your favorite part about being a mover?

Our favorite part about this business is helping people that don't have the time or physical ability to do it themselves.
