In basic terms, this is a terrible company. We moved from out of state and had 2 Pods to unload. Being the middle of Summer, and 97/Sunny, we decided to use this service. Southern Cross got great reviews, so we decided to hire them. They were supposed to be at our property at 1:00PM. One gentleman, who was fantastic, turned up an hour late , as they let him know last minute. I unloaded 75% of the 1st pod myself. The others movers never showed up, and me and the one helper did the rest, with very large furniture. We could not get ahold of them for 2 days, as they do not answer the phone after you hire them, and never called us back. They still charged my cc for the full amount of $455. I called Hire-a-Helper. They spoke with owner and lowered the charge to one helper, which should be fair. But in reality, they think it is fair to charge me $329 to basically move the furniture myself! Unprofessional, unethical, and very disappointing.

Mover's response:
Arrival Between 1 PM - 2 PM copy from your order. That is arrival window you selected so we were not late. The mover was told to go there when the other 3 movers got done with their first job. They were running late because the job before the customer underestimated the load and the number of guys needed. It was the end of the month and we were booked solid.I even came out of the office to help get the guys on track. We were in touch through the worker onsite and you and we call all our customers the night before. The 3 movers did show up just as you were finishing. I apologize deeply however the guys were on their way and you could have waited instead of doing it yourself. Again sorry, afternoon jobs should have a wider window but we can only chose a 1 hour window.

These guys were great. The office called to tell me they were running late then the guys called me as well to let me know. They arrived on time anyway but it was great they called. Once they arrived they got straight to it. They worked for 3 straight hours in the heat. They knew how to pack the POD and did a great job. They had one hiccup but figured it out fast. It’s not about having a problem but how you fix it and they fixed it and apologized for any stress it may have caused me. I’d recommend Ernest and James any time!

I hired this firm for 3 hours, and they were done in two. When I called for credit on the 3rd hour, they said no refund. Seems like unfair accounting. I had a 6' electric fireplace, and one of the movers asked if he could have it. I let him have it, but because it was raining, he said he come for it after the ran. Never saw him again. In hindsight I surmised that they did not want to be bothered putting it on the elevator, and hauling it to the curb. I was able to do so with the help of my super. They did the work, for the most part, but I would NOT use them again.

Mover's response:
You hired us for a 3 hour MINIMUM.... That means that is the rate for 15 minutes through 3 hours. Must people understand that when placing the order and sorry for the confusion. You told the guys if they did not want the fire place you would take care of it, don't know why that cost our company 2 stars on a job finished quickly and with out damage.

They were about 1 1/2 hours late but upon arrival immediately went to work. They finished the job about 1 hour earlier then the initial 3 hours that they were booked for and immediately reimbursed us for the difference in our initial payment. I would not hesitate to use their services again. Great job.

Mover's response:
The job before yours ran over and we are obligated to stay until job is complete. That sometimes happens on afternoon orders. We do keep in touch with our customers and give them updates on progress. Thank you for the 5 star review.

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. I hear from a lot of our customers how they moved themselves so many times but are just to old to do it anymore. That is we come in for their first experience with paid movers to show them how stress free it can be at an affordable price.

All crew members are ran through a wrapping and loading class at our warehouse before going on their first job. Proper technique on wrapping furniture to minimize damage and then loading of trucks,pods, and storage units.
