Let me start by saying they got everything inside without damaging anything I think. However, they were an hour late which wouldn’t be an issue normally, but they first called and said they were running a little late and wouldn’t be here until right at 1, which was the top of the timeframe given. Then said they wouldnt be here for another 20 minutes after that (again not a problem). Then didn’t show up until almost 2pm. They were apologetic and I wouldn’t leave a review for that alone. I hired them because I’m a Christian who thought a company with the holy scriptures for their company named would be professional and take their job seriously as working unto the Lord. However, one of the guys spent an hour trying to explain how I didn’t really know the truth and made it seem like I had been deceived and continued to berate me after I asked him to stop talking about this stuff multiple times. He was unaware of how rude he was being and I honestly just wanted them out of my house. I enjoy having some good discussion, but he did 95% of the talking and had trouble letting me speak. Continued to berate me for not being meek and made it seem like I was the problem being offended by him. Incredibly uncomfortable, and very unprofessional way to interact with clients. I’m cool with disagreement, but this was so awkward. They could have had all of our stuff in our house in an hour, but took them a full two hours because of this. After a 1300 mile trip with my family to move, this was terrible, a nightmare.

Mover's response:
We informed customer we were about 20 min behind schedule and this was his response "It’s all good! See you when you get here, no stress!" (Copied and pasted from text). Customer informed us he was a Chaplain). I asked if he picked us because of our name. He said yes and we started talking about it while we worked. We finished the job in under the time purchased. He was totally into conversing initially, but I believe he started feeling a way once I asked some questions he was unwilling or unable to answer which is fine until your pride causes you to get offended when you were not insulted. I find out through this review that the inability to answer my questions led to him feeling 'berated', and a desire to attempt to bruise our reputation by exaggerating our dialogue. He suggested ceasing the conversation but kept talking which was confusing. Even so much that I had to make the same recommendation to him. I did not speak 95% to his 5%, it was honestly closer to 55/45. It does not take under an hour to unload a fully loaded 16ft container into a 2 story house. I'm just glad we finished in the time allocated with no damage to property or belongings. The other part was.. unfortunate.

Other than arriving a bit later than expected, everything went really well and I'm happy with the service.

The three men that moved all my things today went above and beyond their job!!
They did it in 2 hours the only issue I have is I am billed for three hours and NO REFUND of the hour not used.
I highly recommend them otherwise!

Mover's response:
Unfortunately Moving providers aren't able to book other customers in time slots which have already been booked by other customers which is why this is usually an industry standard. However, being you booked 2 movers and we provided 3 for you since our move prior required 3, I believe that is why it only took 2 hrs. Thank you for your kind words and 5 stars Ms. F!

The two guys who showed up were wonderful and hard working gentlemen. Could not have been kinder or more polite.

My issue is that I requested a 1 pm move time. When I called at around 1 pm, I was told they would arrive at the "later end of the 1-2 window. They didn't actually arrive until 2:30. The move/packing took less than an hour but I was 90 minutes late for the start of my 5! hour drive

Mover's response:
Once again Mr Rogers, we do apologize. As we mentioned, we ran into an accident on the expressway that halted traffic for close to 45 min. For customers which 30 min could make or break, we suggest booking an earlier window, as emergencies and minor delays are rare but can happen.

Sent 4 guys, insisted it would only take an hour instead of 2, which would have been fine under other circumstances.

1 guy (short with a beanie) dropped almost every single box he carried from a few inches off the ground because he kept trying to carry 5 at once for some reason, which, unsurprisingly had them slide off onto the ground, which my glassware appreciated greatly. I also watched him read a "fragile do not lean" sticker, promptly flip the box over and stack another box on it. After i told him where to put something, he looked right at me, then put it on the closest surface instead, then grumbled to himself on the way out.

2 guys started arguing after one scratched my door with furniture he was carrying, afterward that same guy started dropping every box from a couple of inches high including things marked "fragile"

2 stars because one guy was legitimately trying to do his job despite the others.

Mover's response:
I told one of our movers to watch the door while carrying a light but slightly wide Ikea desk 'before' he accidentally scratches the front door, which he didn't. I said this right in front of the customer. I did see him fumble a small box, but onto grass and nothing was damaged the entire move or I'm confident it would've been disclosed in the review. I am not confused this customer would exaggerate to this extent as the customer was under the influence and his entire apartment smelled of strong marijuana. We finished the move in under the time allocated with zero damage. Please see prior reviews for genuine sentiment regarding our work ethic.

Victor, Don, and RJ were awesome! They helped us unload two storage units into a U-Haul in two separate trips and then unloaded everything into our house—twice. They even hauled heavy furniture upstairs like it was no big deal.

We had a slight change in our U-Haul rental time, and they were super flexible and understanding, which we really appreciated. It took a lot of stress off our shoulders knowing they were willing to accommodate our new schedule!

They were friendly, easy to work with, and seriously hard workers. We’re so glad we had them helping us out—highly recommend!

I reserve 5 hours of work. The crew finished in 2.5’ hrs. I was told I must pay the 5 hrs of reserve even when they only work 2.5 hrs. I told them to charged me 3 hrs instead of 2.5 hrs as I know pretty well, 3 hrs is the minimum to reserved.

They demanded 5’hrs of payment. I paid 5’hrs plus the tip I gave to the crew. The crew did nothing wrong. They were good people. The company was not good. This was not the 1st time I hired through this online help. I reserve 7
Hrs of work but the crew finished in 4 hrs and I paid 4 hrs.
But this time, they demanded 5 hrs although the work was done at 2.5 hrs.
Beware. I will not recommend to hire through this online help again.

Mover's response:
The company policy (which customer agreed to and accepted prior) is unused time is non refundable as we miss perspective orders when time is blocked for customers who requested a specific amount of hours. Customers are usually happy when we finish quicker than intended. However, our movers arrived on time, finished in time with zero damage.
