Mover's response:
Servicing 1,200 to 1,400 customers per year there will be an accident here and there no doubt, nobody is perfect. The important thing is we try to be and will give you are best effort ever time out guaranteed. We take our pride in most completed jobs and the best over all reviews out of any company in the area. Thank you for your review.

They arrived on time and stayed until job was complete. Hard working in the 90 degree heat. This is my second time using Southern Cross and pleased with the job both times.

Mover's response:
Thank you for hiring us for the second time, it shows us that you were happy the first time. Another job well done x 2. Good job guys keep it up.

The two man crew arrived as scheduled and after getting a tour of the house they went right to work unloading the POD. All items were removed and placed where directed. They helped to remove the shrink wrapped pads and assembled the bed frames and other items as required. We had no issues with the unloading and I would certainly recommend this company.

Mover's response:
Well thank you so much for your review of our service that we provided that day. That is what we do on unloads, place all heavy furniture just were you want it along with assembly of beds and other furniture. All that is left is to unpack your boxes at your leisure. All done usually within the 3 hour minimum. Welcome to Florida may all your days have plenty of sunshine.

Unfortunately, the end result of their packing job was numerous things broken or damaged.

Mover's response:
Perfect 3 there, fast, friendly, and efficient. Thank you for your review of the service provided by S.C.M.Changed review after unload was complete gave us 5 stars. The problem with this is we know how to load but once it leaves we do not know how it was handled over the road, sometimes it travels thousands of miles. That is why you also purchase extra insurance. However we do thank you for the original 5 star review.

Jimmy and Alex were fantastic! They we're friendly, hard working and did a fantastic job packing the 26 foot truck and utilizing all the space. They were Very professional! We arrived in WNY and not one thing was broken or damaged!!! I cannot thank them enough! The price was decent and The gentleman that answered the phone when I called to confirm was very friendly as well. I would recommend this company!!

Mover's response:
Thank you so much for that review and you had the right protection for your furniture. Thousands on the pods and about $1,000.00 for loading and unloading labor. Yes very expensive but go cheap on protection or offer none and all items arrive damaged, makes no sense. Good job preparing for you move.

After some problems with their previous job before ours, they arrived quite late, after calling and letting us know. They were very efficient and did a good job of uploading and placing things where we wanted them. I was pleased at how quickly they worked, no resting or visiting to slow them down. A job well done.

Mover's response:
All moves are different and some customers want extras and we give that to them. If you are an afternoon job we will give you the same service and our 3rd job of the day also receives the same service. That being said sometimes we run a little late but do stay in touch and let you know the progress of prior job. Thanks for the 5 star review.

This has been a terrible experience by this service. I was recommended to use this service by Pods to hire Southern Cross Moving. Were they on time? No they were an hour and a half late, called them when they were an Hour late and were told they should arrive soon. Were they prepared for the job? They were prepared to complete the job the way they wanted and not as we were asking them to, which was to handle our property with care. Did they work hard? They worked as hard as possible with little or no concern for our property. Were they respectful of your property and goods? Absolutely Not. Would you use them again? Definitely Not!!

I was told that a representative would be contacting us from the movers to provide repairs to the property damaged by their mover, no call was ever received. When I contacted Hire a Helper, they assured me a quick response from them and Southern Cross Moving, neither has been quick to respond.

After filing a claim with Hire a Helper they have offered $90 to repair the Chippendale door that the mover ripped off the hinges.

I would not recommend using Hire a Helper or Southern Cross Moving.

Get To Know Us

What can a customer expect after booking with you?

Upon booking us we will reach out with a courtesy call upon accepting your order and getting details about your move. We will also be available to answer any questions you may have and give you helpful information on how to prepare for moving day.

What can a customer expect on moving day if they hire you?

We give all our customers a call once the movers are ready to leave their meeting location with a GPS arrival window and if needed bring any last minute supplies.

How should a customer prepare for moving day?

Box up all miscellaneous items such as lamps, pictures and small items. If needed we can supply packing materials and labor. Make sure they have all personal items they need for their trip put aside, such as guns, cash, medication, jewelry, and personal items needed during transit.

What types of moves have you handled?

We travel all over the U.S.A and have loaded shipping containers to go all over the world. If it needs to be moved we can get it there, worldwide.

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.
