I cannot say enough about the two fine gentlemen (Karim and Moose) who came on time and were courteous and efficient.
Karim reached out to confirm all the details ahead of time. He kept me abreast of the arrival time and they worked quickly and professionally.
I'd use them again for any upcoming job I may have.

Crew was great the people at hire a helper was extremely difficult to work with after the job was done and charged extra for a mistake they made. Better off just looking for a company from the direct source then go through this platform.

Mover's response:
Damien, I appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and I understand your frustration.

For clarity, our team handled the labor portion of your move, while scheduling and billing are coordinated through HireAHelper. In our experience, they work to support both customers and vendors, and when issues arise, they’re typically responsive in helping resolve them.

From our end, we put in close to 10 hours, supplied materials at no additional cost, and completed full disassembly and reassembly while ensuring everything was handled with care.

We take pride in the level of service we provide and stand by the work our team delivered. Reviews here reflect our crew’s performance directly, so we always aim to ensure the service itself is accurately represented.

If there’s anything specific regarding the labor you’d like to discuss, I’m available.

This was my first time moving in 13 years. I was very unprepared for the amount of stuff I had. I also have foot and back issues and was moving from a second floor condo to a place with a steep basement. I am so glad I found We Pick Things Up and Put Them Down. I figured if the movers were half as good as the reviews say, I was in great hands.
The reviews were right. I was stressed for nothing. These guys fit so much stuff into a 20 foot box van that I don’t think we could’ve fit feather in there. But everything was perfectly packed and all of my stuff is in great condition. This felt like the move that went on forever, but the guys made it so much easier than it could’ve been.

Get To Know Us

What can a customer expect after booking with you?

Customers can expect positive language on the job site, a workaround to any issues that may arise, an explanation of packing format, unwavering honesty, and that the customer will feel understood.

What can a customer expect on moving day if they hire you?

If it’s part of a move, your movers can take care of it for you. You’ll work with the professional movers that you hire to figure out an exact plan and what tasks you’d like them to handle.

How should a customer prepare for moving day?

Keep a running list of all the little things that have to get done, put into place kid or pet arrangements early in the morning, leave out some basic cleaning supplies, and do one last walk-through.

What types of moves have you handled?

We've worked for much different clientele from many different backgrounds, including businesses such as - Philly Pretzel Factory, Staging Theory (NJ), and TriggerHouse.

What's your favorite part about being a mover?

My favorite part of being a mover is being able to help others by giving back with a skillset that is bar-none.

What training do you provide your crew members?

When a person is hired to become a professional mover, they are constantly being trained and retrained due to one of our core values which is constant improvement. All of our movers are qualified pros with considerable years of experience. We set what we like to call the "Golden Standard" for our team and expect delivery every time, no matter how big or small the job is. Training is two-part: on-the-job experience and completing a virtual orientation process with our onboarding agent.
