Jorge contacted me ahead of time to walk thru the task of loading and moving us. He was very professional and nice. The team of 4 people arrived right on time, we walked thru the house, and they began their task of wrapping, loading our containers. They worked as a team and completed the packing and loading of our containers on time. They brought everything we needed to get the job done and were very careful will my furniture and accessories. I was extremely happy with the entire process and have recommended them to my realtor for future customers who might be moving. I would most definitely use them again!

Mover's response:
Thank you for your great feedback janelle. We highly appreciate the help.

with the exception of the main guy who left for 1/2 the duration of my move (he was not obligated to be there)the men were not as experienced & hoped for considering they are pricier than other movers. I felt afraid for my furniture. I could hear things and see things being "banged around". objects clearly marked "fragile" were not handled with care. sigh. when the main person came back, he oversaw things well but was constantly trying to "sell me" on my upcoming unload-move, which I found annoying. all-in-all not the worst mover experience I had.

Mover's response:
The main guy who left was only the supervisor. The other ones were the 2 helpers customer was paying for. The worker are young but good. We believe everything will make it in good conditions, that is why we are willing to provide a free unloading service and pay for any possible damages that could of happen on our behalf. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thunderhorse Movers were great. George is very pleasant, funny, well prepared and right on time. He brought wrapping materials and pads just in case, but used up my materiels first. His crew was polite, very energetic and did an amazing job wrapping furniture and packing the load. His loader was careful and inventive. There was no breakage, although we started running out of room and some antique pieces started holding boxes the loader would have preferred not to. (We had Too many books). But They were done in three hours. The crew that unloaded the POD took four! Very pleasant experience and very satisfied customer.

Mover's response:
thank you for your great review sharon, we appreciate your help!

If you need movers, don't hesitate to hire these guys. We considered hiring a full service mover (the big companies) to make our cross country move and got quotes of around $9k for our 3 bedroom house. Took a look at the option of Upack (ABF) where you pack a trailer yourself and found we could save a lot of $$$ and our contents would actually be safer. Only problem was, we needed to hire some help to load - That's where Hire-A-Helper and Thunderhorse came to the rescue. In one word, these guys were fantastic! Very professional, very careful, considerate and hard working. George and his crew were not only on time, but understood the process a lot better than we did. I completely underestimated the time and manpower needed, but Thunderhorse had us covered from the beginning and made what could be a stressful and difficult experience about as easy as it could be. They wrapped all our furniture and used clever ways to protect and pack our stuff so that everything arrived in great shape. Thunderhorse was a real blessing!

thank you for your great review, we highly appreciated !
