Jamal is awesome! Both your guys were patient with my wife who is suffering from PTSD and has a hard time communicating sometimes. They remembered tiny details of a complicated move from two locations that really blew me away. Jamal knew more about which items belonged in which truck to which location than I did. Our sincere gratitude thank you!

Helpers were very late. We were notified about their delay in advance, but upon arrival, it felt like they rushed in order to finish within the original hour scheduled, rather than ensuring they provided a full hour of service. They may have done more or repacked items in ways we thought would have been better if we more assertive, but we expected them to be more helpful without needing to demand it. It was unclear from the company's email confirmation if boxes were going to be provided, so I was unable to be present with movers for the time it took me to go get new boxes. Upon the arrival of our POD at its destination, some items were damaged due to their placement in the POD. I would not use this company again.
