They were very good and worked really hard. I was disappointed that they couldn’t move boxes into the crawl space. Overall, I would use them again.

They arrived on time. They were very courteous and respectful. They did an amazing job of loading my moving truck. They knew how to load it correctly. I was very impressed and very happy with their work. Thank you for making this move easier than I expected.

The two man team was on time and communicated their expected arrival time effectively. They were respectful of my items and were mindful to use blankets and pads as needed. I was concerned the POD I ordered wasn't big enough, but they got everything in there and fit it all with some ingenuity. They were also fast and focused. Wrapped up my 1 bedroom apartment in about 45 minutes. The 2-hour time slot was more than adequate. They even disassembled my bed frame for me. Great experience overall.

We hired John 3:16 Movers to help unload our moving truck into a third-floor apartment. They arrived about 1 hour and 15 minutes after the scheduled window. While they kept good communication throughout, it did push our day back quite a bit (especially as we had driven our 26 foot u-haul 6 hours from Ohio at 6 am to be at our new apartment on time for their arrival).

We had a team of four movers for four hours. The head mover was charismatic and did a good job encouraging the team, and overall they were careful when carrying things up the stairs, and nothing was broken. That said, the experience was mixed. One mover didn’t seem physically strong enough for the job, and the crew became winded quickly, often taking many stair trips in the beginning, carrying 1 or 2 small items at a time. There was a lot of loud complaining about the stairs and the workload—including cursing in front of my in-laws and threats to walk off the job if it went past 8 PM—which made the atmosphere tense. While the cursing and threats were not directed at my family or I, we were nervous they might actually leave, so we avoided asking them to do things like placing labeled boxes in the correct rooms. As a result, most boxes ended up in the front entry, and we re-sorted them ourselves later.

The head mover left twice for 15–20 minutes. The first time, he let us know he was getting water for the team, which was appreciated. The second time, he left without saying anything, and the remaining movers just sat on our steps, even though there was still work to be done.

I don’t mind if movers need to take breaks or pace themselves, but the amount of complaining and lack of professionalism made the day more stressful than it needed to be. I wish I could give a higher rating, especially because the lead was kind, charismatic, and communicative—but unfortunately, the overall experience just didn’t live up to expectations.
