The young men of William Hegerty were very professional, handled our property as they would their own, and were very respectful toward my husband and I. Thanks for the great job.We would ?? definitely recommend their services. Mike and Barb Ford

They were very professional, efficient, polite and willing to go the extra mile. Very rarely you find a service of that quality!

They jammed the door on my pod and refused to do anything about it. I now have half my possessions locked away from me, I cannot move in, i cannot move out, I have already started the process for charging back the charges on my credit card. I have never been treated like this in my life , I am now afraid of using you again (I have a move already scheduled on the 29th. i guess i will stick to it and hope i get someone better). I cannot say enough how that hiring people from hire-a-helper has been a horrible experience for me. And is still going on as i cannot get to my stuff. My mistake in hiring your service has left me stuck on moving day with nowhere to move to. How you people sleep at night.

Mover's response:
You have a us a 5 star review a couple days ago. Today you were advised that we cant provide blankets, rope, or straps yet they are requested by Hire A Helper. We did not LOCK your items the crew loaded the pod how you requested and without a strap something has caught the door after you released the crew. We did what we were paid to do. You started texting the crew demanding and threatening things and when our management called to explain options, such as the crew and Hire A Helper did you began threatening suite, law enforcement and anything you could think of (we have the texts). Creating a hostile environment for any crew to work in is NOT tolerated. Hire A Helper has been notified that you should seek another vendor for your future services.

If you want to get an idea of the people that work for this company just read their responses to customer reviews. It is literally jaw dropping the aggressive and rude things they say if you give them less than 5 stars. I read them to a friend that’s worked in customer service for years and he couldn’t believe the blatant unprofessionalism. I wish I had read them before I booked them. I can’t even begin to imagine how they will respond to this post, but I’m excited to hear what hashtags they’ll throw on this unhappy customer!

I have never felt so ripped off in my life as I have with this company. Moving is already stressful but these guys made my day a nightmare. It was a complete disaster. I was told by hire a helper to book only minimum of two hours and then I’d just pay each additional hour after that since we didn’t know how long it would take.
It took 3 men 8 hours to move just me, a single person’s house into 2 large pods that didn’t even fill up the entirely. Seriously y’all, no matter what they will say, I don’t have that much stuff.
Literally the one qualification for this job is the ability to move things and only 2 of the 3 were able. They tracked mud into my home, even after I gave them shoe coverings, then they took a smoke break and stood in water, and rather than taking off the shoe coverings they just left them on and dragged it back into the house. I literally had to babysit and constantly give one of them instruction as he would just stop and stare into space and not work, on my dime. Seriously, I had everything boxed up and ready to go in my garage and they were so pathetically slow that I had to rush to help them to fill their truck in time to get to the pod warehouse before they closed. Towards the end, the precious expensive items I specifically requested they take care of were essentially thrown on the truck and the majority of the items not even tied down. Things were falling over left and right, luckily I took pictures. Some of my boxes got sopping wet because they had a leak in the ceiling of their truck. I packed the pods myself because these guys clearly didn’t know what they were doing, and I was lucky that pods was so kind to let me stay after hours because we didn’t show up until 15 minutes before they closed.

Hire a helper has not yet discounted the price or made amends to me. I will be disputing the charges with my credit card company.
I pray that when I reach my final destination my things aren’t completely wrecked.
Some advice to the moving boys, if you’re going to be in the business of moving people things it should be no surprise that your clients expect timely people who can lift above average. And arguing that will completely discredit you and your company.

Mover's response:
If we were able to meet clients “expectations” we would be olympians with endorsement deals and not movers to ungrateful clients who tell only half of the story. There are some items to review and correct however theres always 3 sides to every story. With this one theres no mention of day one we had to postpone due to weather because emergency management said stay off the roads if at all possible. We even tried to come out once the snow had thawed but we were under a time restraint so we rescheduled for the following day at 10-11 arrival. Crew arrived at 10:30am and worked diligently to take everything up and down the driveway due to pitch. The crew worked as fast as they could and then once we worked more than the contracted time (something we dont have to do). We brought a 32’ truck that was filled instead of a 26’ requested at no extra charge. You made the call to release the crew and to load the pods yourself. If hire a helper hasnt offered you a refund…. That should shed some light on issues as 98% of the time Hire A Helper sides with the clients.

Respectful, friendly, great service. Did everything I needed and got done ahead of schedule.

They arrived within the allotted time frame. Unfortunately, they called and said they would arrive at 9:45 and then at 9:45 they called and said the had gotten stuck in traffic and wouldn't arrive until 10:45. We were waiting for them for an hour in the cold. They were both hard workers and they were very respectful to us and to our belongings. I would recommend them for anyone who lives in their area but I would not use them again because apparently they drove for 2 hours to get to us. I would rather hire someone who lives closer and can arrive without the possibility of getting stuck in traffic for an hour.
