Ilena R
Tony and Cody arrived just after the arrival window started. They were prompt, professional, friendly, careful, fast, and clearly very experienced. They did an incredible job packing up our Pod, and I honestly felt very safe and comfortable with them. If I hadn’t just moved away from the Tampa area I’d absolutely hire them again. Thanks guys!
Renee E
Tony texted me to confirm the details of the move and let me know their ETA, which was on time as agreed. Tony and Rico worked hard from the start, understood what we were looking to move and did a great job of taking up the least amount of space as possible on the truck. They were respectful of our property. We would use them again and highly recommend them. They did a great job!
Randy S
The crew that came worked very hard; treated myself and my wife and our belongings with great care and respect and I would definitely use them again, especially these two! I think their employer is lucky to have them!
JOy G
They did a fantastic job! They notified me when they were on the way and arrived on time. Both guys were respectful of my home and belongings. My POD was packed quickly and efficiently. Highly recommend!!

This was not a good experience. There was a two man crew but only one of them was working hard to get the job done (Timothy). As a result, only half of the job was completed. They stayed two extra hours (that I didn’t request) because by the time they should have been done, most of my boxes and storage bins were out on the street and the first container wasn’t even half full. There were certain items I requested to be packed first and those things are what was not packed at all. When they stopped working, they left pieces and parts of my beds they partially disassembled lying around and didn’t attempt to make sure they were packed with the furniture so I would know where it belonged. I reached out to Tony during the move but got no I answer and the mailbox was full. I sent a text and pics and shared my concerns but there was no response. I was told they would come back the next day to finish only for Tony to respond via text the next day that they would not be returning because I refused to pay for any additional hours until the job was complete. I then sent him pics of the condition they left my home in and what had not been packed, as he came to my home before the second crew did and accessed then told me the second crew had arrived and they would be doing the job. In the end, no apology, no we are going to make this right. I feel very taken advantage of because I am a single woman.
to pay for the additional hours provided and demanded that we finish the move the next day. When you requested that the movers stay extra time to try and get everything loaded, we did so. After everything was said and done there was still a lot of stuff to be loaded and just not enough hours in the day. You refused to pay based on your assessment that one worker was doing more work than the other. It is actually comical that you expected us to come back when you literally asked us to stay 2 extra hours then tried to be slick and only released payment for the original 3 hrs when we were done. You expected us to load a 5 bed room house into 2 16ft containers in 3 hrs? How could you possibly think that we would come back out to finish the job when you literally ripped us off on the 1st encounter. What is even more comical is that you sat there and wrote in your review that you feel taken advantage of, yet, you are the one who requested we stay longer and then refused to pay for the additional time. Talk about being taken advantage of, in fact that is actually known as theft of services in the state of Florida, it's backed by a legal statue and literally against the law. In Florida, theft of services, also known as unauthorized reception of communication services or utility services, can result in penalties ranging from misdemeanor fines to felony jail time, depending on the value of the services and any prior convictions. Common examples of theft of services include "dine and dash" at restaurants, unauthorized use of cable or internet services, and refusing to pay for professional services. Specifically, theft of services is addressed in Florida Statutes Sections 812.14 (utility services) and 812.15 (communication services). Petit Theft of the First Degree: If the services are valued between $100 and $300, it's a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable by up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. Oh, by the way, if you're gonna tell it tell it all. When you asked us if we were coming back out to finish loading the second container the following day I said as long as you pay the additional time from the previous day. You literally tried to tell me that once we got everything loaded you would consider paying the additional time. Tell me, why would we come back out a 2nd day and work for what ever price you felt was due. That makes absolutely no sense. Absolutely no promise was made to you that all of your stuff would fit nor was any promise ever made that we would stay countless hours to load every item. Don't forget that you only prebooked 3 hours and we schedule other moves around yours based on the time booked. You simply had too much stuff and did not book enough time. Accusing Rico of not doing as much work as Tim is upsetting. Our guys are trained professionals and we systematically wrap, run (carry to the PODS) and load furniture in these containers, utilizing every inch of space while properly protecting your furniture.
Your poor experience is a direct result of your poor planning that you tried to pass off as an issue created by us or that we were somehow responsible for. This response may be a bit unprofessional but you were ridiculous and never ceased to amaze me throughout the entire process.

A Move Ahead Movers exceeded our
expectations. They were efficient & respectful of our belongings. Wouldn't
hesitate to use their services again.
Taylor S
I had an amazing experience with the three movers who helped pack up my house—two guys and one woman. They arrived on time, came fully prepared for the job, and got straight to work with incredible efficiency. They worked nonstop, handling everything with care and attention to detail. I was especially impressed with how respectful they were of my home and belongings throughout the entire process. I would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a hardworking, trustworthy, and professional moving crew!
