My crew was great. One crew member ran late but the two guys who were here the whole way were amazing. Would definitely use this crew again.

They trucked some very heavy bins up three flights of stairs, repeatedly. Just a tip: think of your moving crew. Its better to have a lot of small boxes than a few big ones. Especially if you have heavy items. In the future, I'll use smaller bins and do my best to save my movers' backs!

Simply put, not a very good moving service. One particular situation from that horrid day, should be enough warning for all of you "would be" future customers. The phrase "I've been doing this for over a year now." was repeated enough to make me almost laugh out loud. Little did they know, I personally come from a family/occupation of packing semi trucks, trailers etc., for at least a decade. The movers were unwilling to concede to our plan, because in their opinion we rented too small of a truck... After they left, we packed the truck correctly, and everything fit like a glove. I will say they moved all my heavy furniture out of the apartment, and down near the truck. Half-ass work, should equal half ass pay; in the end, I was paying them to leave. Also, the annoying review service doesn't help their case. "Hire a Helper" = Garbage.

Mover's response:
We apologize for your perceived "bad service". Considering your complaints about our service and hireahelper platform I'm just going to chalk this up to you. We take pride in the service we perform as our reviews show.

The team were very communicative and professional. They were immediately able to assess the situation and decide the best plan of action and are a couple of tetris masters.

The crew showed up on time, and immediately got to work. They packed our truck very efficiently. Everything fit thanks to their expertise. I really couldn't be happier. Great job!

Helpful movers were a good help and came prepared to the job of loading a POD container. They were professional and hard working. I would hire them again.

How should a customer prepare for moving day?

The best way to prepare for your move is always organization, having walkways cleared for the movers so as not to trip over anything.
