Carltons crew is a well meaning company and want to do a good job, but they were not satisfactory with my move, resulting in my items not receiving the attention they needed which ultimately led to many things being broken. I intend to file a claim. They didn’t treat my household goods as if they were theirs, which is my expectation for a packing/moving company. Some items were packed with care, others were not. Seemed to have different experience levels and attention to detail within the crew. I have photos depicting items just thrown in boxes, resulting in smashed glass. For instance, our heavy kitchen aid mixer was packed in the same box as fragile wine glasses from our wedding, resulting in many getting broken. This was poor decision making. Additionally, communication was an issue. I had instructed certain times (pictures and frames) to be wrapped in bubble wrap and left an example of how I wanted the frames to be wrapped, but they were left unwrapped and loaded, resulting in scratches/chips. Similarly, I asked for our couches and chairs to be bubble wrapped but they were not, resulting in scuffs and stains from other objects rubbing against them. It was clear that proper care was not given to our keepsakes and belongings, and am very disappointed with the lack of quality and poor attention to detail. I unfortunately will not be using this company again, and advise heavily supervising/ managing this crew. I liked them personally and had no issues in that regard, they just didn’t live up to expectations in the professional aspect, which is what I was paying then for.

??I am very dissatisfied with this company. I hired them to load and unload furniture at my current home. The job was to load the furniture into a U-Haul and unload the U-haul at my storage unit. They showed up with four individuals. With four movers, the job should have gotten completed. They loaded the items on the truck and left me with an entire truck to figure out how to get it unloaded because they had another job to get to. During the move, one of the workers ended up leaving, and we were left with an older gentleman and a young lady that obviously couldn't handle the load. If this company were professional movers, they would have sent someone from their team to assess the move? to ensure they had enough time to load and unload. This did not happen. I knew I should have gone with a bigger company with a replicable name.

But the nightmare doesn't stop there. After I moved into my current property, we started to unpack boxes and put our furniture back together. We noticed that the movers took the legs off our furniture and removed the screws taped to furniture pieces. We cannot find bedroom brackets, chair brackets,? chair legs, etc. This costs us additional money because we have to contact the manufacturer to send us additional screws and parts we cannot find. I dealt with several moving companies before this company. Carlton's moving is a freaking joke?!!? I advise anyone not to use this company.

Also, ?Hire a Helper needs to remove them from their list of movers. That won't happen, but please be aware when dealing with this company.

Carlton and crew came in ready to work and assured me every step of the way that my items would fit and they did indeed fit! These guys are very experienced at packing a POD. Not only were they determined to get the job done in the amount of time scheduled, they were courteous and respectful of my house and the items they were responsible for packing. Carlton and crew was a joy to work with and I wish I could take them with me (out of state) to offload my items. You will not be disappointed in hiring Carlton for your job!
