The two workers were polite and accomplished the job but I cannot say I was impressed with their work. I had plastic stretch wrap that I offered for extra protection and to possibly make the job better. They declined to use it saying with the time factor they don't use it because it takes longer. This was disappointing when they finished the job in 1-1/2 hours and I was charged for the minimum three hours. I had chilled water bottles for them and when I gave them one I requested they be careful placing it on the furniture because the furniture was not protected. A short time later when one needed to set his water bottle down but could not reach, he tossed it to land on top of a wooden piece of furniture! It may be my paranoia, or the fact that by that time I was already displeased, but I saw them put a large piece of furniture in the POD then look at each other and laugh. When they saw me looking they stopped laughing. This might have been totally innocent, but it was bothersome at the time, and it makes me wonder what I will find when my furniture in unloaded. I was also caught off guard when they told me that I needed to disconnect the washer and dryer because they could not legally do it. I'm not sure who's responsibility it should be, but it would have been nice to have known that ahead of time. They did come with their own tools (which they placed on my unprotected dining room tabletop), but for some reason they asked if I had a wrench they could borrow to take apart the bed frames.
All-in-all, although they were pleasant enough, I might use your company again, but I would not want the same two workers.
I hesitated to write this review, but you emailed me twice to respond, so I am offering my honest opinion.

Mover's response:
We use tape instead of shrink wrap, quicker and cheaper.All jobs are 3 hour minimums, my guys joke with customers and don't mope around like they hate their jobs. That makes for a less stress move and most customers comment on their great attitudes. We are not plumbers nor electricians our insurance does not cover water damage or fire. I hope you use us again and sorry you did not like the guys that I sent you.

The three gentlemen did a great job helping to unload our truck and put our things together! They were also entertaining and funny to have around too! Highly recommend Southern Cross Moving!

Mover's response:
The three guys I sent to you that day work very well together as a team. Thank you for that awesome review.

They made a super hard job look really easy! They called and let us know they were on time and on their way. They unloaded every piece into the right rooms quickly, safely and within the time frame quoted. We were a HEAVY job with a safe and big tool boxes. They conquered!

Super polite gentlemen- worked hard every minute they were here.

Totally recommend Southern Cross Moving!

Mover's response:
That is why we are the best in the area, thank you for appreciating our hard work.

We had 2 PODS that were completely full. The 2 guys unloaded both within 3 hours. They worked non stop at a swift pace and it was hot and in the 90’s.

Mover's response:
That is what you paid for and that is what was delivered, thank you for the review.

My husband and I just moved to North Fort Myers and do know the area very well or too many businesses. I relied on the container company’s link to find a company to help on load our containers. The 3 men who came were courteous and professional. They went right to work and handled our bins carefully. They did a fantastic job and I would definitely hire this company again!

Mover's response:
If you need us we will be there for you again!!! Thank you for leaving that review it means a lot to all of us here at S.C.M

They called to let me know they were running late which I appreciated.
Both men worked non stop.
The packing is well done & they protected everything very well

Mover's response:
Thank you for your review, afternoon jobs are really hard to be on time for because of prior customer. We do not leave any of our customers with work to be done. We stay until customer is happy, no matter what they want done. If they paid for 3 hours and need us for 4 we will stay until customer is happy...

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.

What training do you provide your crew members?

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.
