I hired two "men" to unload furniture from Cargo Van into a 2-BR apartment and then to load furniture in 1-BR apartment and unload into the 2-BR apartment.

I immediately called the office and was told they would send out a replacement. Two hours later no replacement arrived and Labor Ready did not return my call. After I called again, it took about 45 minutes for a petite 110 pound female to arrive who could not move most of the furniture. As a consequence, at age 57 at the end of the day I was moving heavy furniture from 6PM - 9PM in the dark in the middle of the winter (Jan. 2015) with the other laborer, who did a great job under the circumstances. Labor Ready then had the audacity to bill me for the time of the petite female who could not help with moving furniture (though she did move clothes, linens, etc.) -- which was the main reason I hired Labor Ready. I definitely would not use them again!

I had already prepped, the apartment by moving all of my boxes to the breezeway, and the only thing that was not taken apart was my bed, which I took apart while they were moving everything else.
That was when the team leader told me that it would take him longer than four hours to load the truck. This was ridiculous, as a team of two moved me into the apartment in an hour and a half, without complaint. This team had three people.
They then stood in the breezeway of my apartment talking to each other for another 30 minutes. When I told them that their time hadn't started yet, they reminded me that it started once they showed up. I reiterated that they hadn't started working yet, so I was not paying for them to "shoot the ****." That was when they started actually working.
After telling them that the appliances were staying, they tried to move them three or four times, and they packed multiple things I told them not to pack.
They then took another break an hour in.
Finally they filled the truck, and we drove to my storage location. I offered them water and soda, and the team lead asked me for champagne.
Once arriving their, they informed me that it was going to be a tight fit. The storage shed was a 15x12 room, which should have been more than enough room for a two bedroom apartment. They just shifted things around for a 15 minutes, until I had to tell them how and wear to place things, and several times I had get them to re-place things so that my things weren't in an unstable condition or in a position to be damaged (furniture placed on its side, fragile or light boxes placed underneath heavy ones). After that, all members had an attitude, and would not move anything without explicit instructions from me.
As with the rest of the day, I had to move a lot of things, in order to expedite their slow pace.
At the end, they did not have a pen for me to sign the work forms.
This team had a horrible attitude, it took a ton of prompting to get them to work, and they complained the entire time.
I would not use them again.

The guys worked pretty hard (1 way harder than the other), but complained a lot. Then the job wasn't finished but the 1st guy left - he left the other guy to carry a queen size bed, 2 bookshelves and a desk!! Kudos to the 2nd guy who did as much as he could. Unfortunately all the heavy lifting at the end caused him to become ill and thus he left. The job was not finished. I could have had help come the next day but I didn't want to end up in a similarly frustrating situation so I managed the rest by myself. I do not think the company asked enough questions when I scheduled the job to realize perhaps 2 guys wasn't enough.

Our helper showed up 15 minutes earlier than was expected! We were just pulling in to the apartment complex.

We have never had to hire movers before so choosing the right moving company was very important to us. My boyfriend got a job out of state and I was left to handle the entire move myself. We hired labor ready because of all the positive reviews and we felt confident about our decision.
Well... They showed up late, not by …read moremuch but when you have only 4 hrs every minute counts. They were also under the impression they were just moving 1 room. Really!? I hired 2 guys for 4 hrs to just move a room? Then they told me to move my 1200sqft apt. They would need to call 2 more guys and it would take 8hrs. That's when I knew there was a problem. So that's when they began to move all my furniture out to put in the pod. On the way down they TRASHED my walls. I'm talking holes, dents, and scratches.
As the 4hrs progressed the laziness increased. Because I was a woman by myself and I don't know these guys and they have control of all my stuff I tried to lead by example instead of bossing them around. That means, quickly carrying boxes and packing the pod. Well, it didn't work. So I then had to move all the heavy stuff near the door to get them to carry what they needed to. That's when they asked if they could THROW my boxes down the stairs. I said no but when I left the room I heard them throwing my boxes. I could go on but this would get to be a too long of a post.
After the 4hrs we're up I was left with all of my stuff on the sidewalk, 1/2 my stuff still in the apartment, damaged walls, neighbors ive never met coming uo to me to tell me that every time i went inside they sat down until i came out, and their trash all over my parking lot, and 2 big dudes standing over me urging me to write them a good review on my reciept and that they accept tips! In order to do the job myself I had to work well into the night and then slept on my floor to finish the next day, as my boyfriend wasnt able to be there to help me. They cost me my entire security deposit, and we'll see whats broken when I open my boxes.
My boyfriend contacted the company who was then supposed to contact me to get a first hand account. They didn't. I had to call, to which I gave my entire account and emailed pictures of the damage. The woman said she would investigate and get back to me. I got 1 email a week later and that's it. I emailed again after i spoke to my landlord who was very upset about the damage as he knew it was done by the movers. No response. So, they won't get back to me after they cost me a total of $1400 betweeen their fee and my security deposit.
In summation, despite the good reviews, think twice about using Labor Ready.

They did not bring a dolly when the job clearly states unloading a moving van. The manager of the local office "Mike" was supposed to call me on a couple of occassions and I never heard from him.

The next two where much more entergetic and the 3 of them over the 4 hour span still couldn't load a 1030 sqft into the truck. So my wife and myself had to finish the job. When we reached our destination and began unloading ourselves we noticed that heavy boxes of books and other items had been stacked on the top of lighter and not full boxes. I had spoken to the workers on more than one occassion ensuring proper stacking and storage was taken place. Quiet a few boxes had crushed due to this and our new washer ended up receiving a nice big dent, A 100 year old Organ that was a family heirloo, had spindles broken off, Our leather couch and chair had several scuffs and tears in it. I contacted Ready Labor and they did not charge me for the 2 guys who wouldnt work however just said sorry for the damage to our property. We will never us Labor Ready again. We have estimated over $1,500 dollars in damages to these items not including the Organ.

My only complaint would be that they didn't seem to have the packing knowledge a moving "expert" would - and by that I mean knowing the most efficient way to pack items into a storage box (we moved into a portable box, not a truck, but same concepts apply).

There were a few issues, and that is why I docked Labor Ready 2 stars.
One of the guys was a powerhouse and worked non-stop until the job was done. I'm thankful for him. The other guy started out strong, but concked out about halfway through and left me to pick up the slack (I paid $226, and had to book the 2 of them for 4 hours even though I knew it would take less than 2 to finish). I did not get my money's worth on the second guy at all. He evidently didn't know the job was coming up (I booked it 2 weeks in advance) and had worked out at the gym (pretty hard) a few hours before (this was no doubt poor planning on Labor Ready's part). He was very apologetic though.
Additionally, about 10 minutes before the job was done, a woman in a black wig and purple shirt drove up with a man in shorts, both toting bottles wrapped in paper sacks. I thought they were some of my new neighbors and that they were being nosy. Nope. They were additional folks sent by Labor Ready to help (nearly 2 hours had passed). The woman told me about her brain injury and how she couldn't lift anything heavy. The guy didn't say much but did cart two boxes into the apartment.

We hired two helpers from Labor Ready for four hours to help us with our move last weekend, and we were very disappointed to discover that the workers we hired did not know anything about moving.
Although both men were kind and polite, they just didn't seem to know what they were doing or want to work very hard. One of the…read more men was hard to motivate and did not seem interested in working--especially not quickly. We had to keep asking him to carry boxes and not just stand around shifting boxes from one end of the truck to the other. I had to remind him more than a couple of times that we needed him to move the boxes that were stacked up in our apartment. The other man was more helpful, though neither of them were what I expected.
We ended up having to destroy our couch because your guys got the couch stuck in the hallway and after repeated attempts, could neither move the couch forwards nor backwards. In the process, they put several large gouges in the wall, which we will have to repair. They dropped and scraped our file cabinet and washing machine, leaving very large marks on our belongings, and tried to drag our recliner chair through grass and mud.
We could have done a better job ourselves, and will never ever hire anyone through your company again. Our friends who helped us move were just as unimpressed, and I am quite certain that they would never hire anyone through your company, based on the service we received.

I knew more about moving things at the age of 12. Then this young man did. When they were moving my dresser and china cabinet I could not bear watch them. They almost dropped both items several times. I rented a two wheeler for them to use but it never was used. A shame because I know it would have helped them get everything unloaded. My fiance had to give them advice several times. He was a mover in Chicago when he was younger. The older man worked very hard but he took way to many cigerette breaks for a 4 hr period. Yes I am a smoker.The biggest problem that both of them had was neither of them knew how to stack boxes. They would place a 12" square box between 2 - 18" by 2' large boxes. Putting the the light weight ones under the heavy ones. I was constintly going behind them and restacking the boxes. I repeatedly warned them that I had glass items in the boxes and that they were very expensive. I have only gone through about a dozen boxes and found 6 pieces broken. One of the items was a tea pot of my grandmothers. It was one of a few things that were passed down to me of hers and is impossible to ever replace. I dread openning the rest of the boxes. While I would rehire them if I was moving a business that had only paper, metal cabinets and metal desks. I will never rehire them to move my home again. Also if you are going to send a trainie out. You should not count him as one of the workers sent out to do the job. Especially when they are clueless. I don't think this one has even moved his own dresser accross the room. You offer a great service to the public. At very reasonable prices. Your employees need to be evaluated better so you know what they can do and more importantly can't do.

Overall, he was a nice enough fellow, and arrived on time. But he wasn't careful, and I still have a broken desk.

When I specified who had initially called me I was told, "she's gone home for the day but will be in early tomorrow." Frankly, I was shocked at the unwillingness to contact their staff to determine the details for a job that was set to begin between 8 - 9 the following morning, despite the fact that I told them I had a truck rented and a schedule I needed to keep. About 9am I received a call that they would definitely have people at my home but they were going to be late. The workers arrived at 9:40am. Thankfully, I had planned some extra time in my schedule. My advice is, if you choose Labor Ready, confirm the job with their office TWO DAYS in advance so they have time to resolve any accidental oversights.

Well I did not mind until then. The elevators were booked in the building for certain duration in both the buildings and it is winter of January (toward the end of month). I requested them to arrive at 12:00pm expecting this move to finish before evening. After one hour around at 1pm the labor arrived and when I asked about the second labor, he showed a surprised face to me telling that he should have arrived at 12pm. He then told me that he has been calling the office but no one was picking the phone to help him with the address or anything. So then I started calling the laborready office and then came to know that the second labor informed the office two days before that he would not be able to do this assignment but office missed his message and did not assign anyone else. Well then the manager of the labor ready tried to do a firedrill action and found some guy who works in the RiteAids and brought him to my office by 3pm. That was great. The first guy guy kept waiting till then since the work was for two guys only as I explained in the work order itself.
Since the move was between two buildings, I had to give one key to these folks. The guy who works in the RiteAid told me all of a sudden that he gave that key back and apparantly I lost the key. This is the key to the new apartment. I am baffled since I never had the key (felt it as very ominous and insecure to work with these folks alone with two kids and wife in the silence of winter night). Then all of a sudden after one hour he told me that it was his mistake that he did not check all his pockets and he got the key back. (You can imagine how much thankful I was to the Lord).
As expected, I started running short of the time so I asked them if they can stay back a little more. The guy from RiteAid refused saying that his wife works late night shift and he has to do baby sitting. So I can not say anything else. The other guys was wiling to stay back. But I can not lift heavy furniture with him due to some medical conditions. The next day I had to take help from other local people by paying extra to get the remaining work done.
All that was fine... not that bad. The height was surpassed when I got a call from HireAHelper confirming if the labors worked for more than 4 hours since the laborready is asking for 3 hour extra for the first labor (who apparantly was waiting). And this was claimed by the manager who brought the second missing guy at 3pm. When the manager arrived at my home, she asked the first guy if he did anything in front of me and he told her not. Then she chimed the clock at 3pm and started the time. Still she billed for 3 hours extra. Even the work order that I signed after the work got over had this clearly mentioned that they worked only for 4 hours.
It seems that she did not even refer to the work order that was signed by me. Well I would call it as very bad overall experience. But for such a cheap price, I should not have expected professionalism. However, it is not just the professionalism, I felt very insecure for a brief while working with their men. I really wish if laborready can improve on the professionalism front by keeping the same price structure, then the labor ready can be the best. I would prefer to pay more for a prefessional company which can provide peace of mind.

This was the worst service and moving experience I have ever had.
1. The workers showed up late, and were lazy.
2. They required constant supervision and kept trying to sneak smoke breaks.
3. Most of my furniture they moved was damaged or scratched.
4. They broke the magnetic seal on my condo building's f…read moreront door that almost resulted in me forfeiting my deposit. Fortunately the door was still under warranty and I did not lose my deposit but it was a huge hassle negotiating with the committee.
5. While promising to return with a vehicle they left without finishing the job. Thankfully I was able to contact a manager at 1030 at night to explain that the laborers had lied and left without finishing the job. She apologized and made arrangements for other workers to come back 3 days later to finish the job.
Show Response
Per Idalis mgr-I apologize for the issues you had with the workers. Jessica from our branch spoke with you about the situation with the workers. You did not mention anything to her about damages. I apologize for the worker not returning to finish getting out the furniture, but that was agreement you made with the worker. I personally went with a friend that had a truck to remove the furniture to provide good customer service. I spoke with Paul Stoppi who did not mention about damages. Thank you

The very polite and apologetic young lady dealing with me stated she attempted to contact the local and regional managers, and that they were trying to clear someone for the weekend.
Five hours after the scheduled start time I was finally informed that no one would be available for me.
Both the young lady at Labor Ready and Hire a Helper were very polite, and understandably limited in what assistance they could offer, but this is the second time I have had an aide from Hire a Helper no-show on the day of the order without prior warning.
