Arrival of helpers was supposed to be from three to four pm, they arrived at quarter to six. Everything seemed to be going fine until I noticed a split in the wood of my armoire. I thought I had heard a crack sound just a minute or two before discovering the damage. One became very defensive when I drew attention to the damage. I said i was not blaming them for the damage but wondered if the cracking sound was associated with it. One of the movers became very defensive and said he was getting a camera and take pictures (he did) and that I was trying to blame them, I was not. He then accused me of lying and implying that I knew they didn’t do it and that he had five star reviews in his file. I walked away but a short time after his outburst I confronted him. I indicated that I was offended by him accusing me of lying, and that he had attacked my integrity. I pointed out to him that my career was based on honesty. Not once did I hear from the owner nor did the owner take anything off the price for the verbal assault received from a 2 hr. 45 min. late person who was working for me. Stay away from this company it is owned by a veteran who only wants the money. The two helpers at my house had never served a day in any type of military service. The company did nothing for me. They should have refunded me. I received $100.00 from Hire a Helper, they took it off of the 454.000 I paid. The company did nothing, not even an apology.

Mover's response:
Elizabeth, I'm very surprised to read this. Your husband was VERY pleased with the crew, and even came outside to apologize for YOUR behavior and even gave them a very generous tip. If our crew notices damages on any item, it is our company policy to take a photo of it before we touch it so its clear who is/was responsible for the damage. This is an industry-wide policy for professionals. The item you mentioned was damaged in the POD and Charles took a photo to note that it was in that condition before we moved it inside. I don't know why you would speak to my (the owner) attitude or disposition as we only spoke once when you booked our services a few days prior to your move date. Your move was discounted $100. I don't know why you would go out of your way to grossly misrepresent the events and facts of this endeavor and leave us a review that is clearly not on par with the 100s of other outstanding customer reviews we have on this, and several other websites. Nonetheless, we are sorry you didn't have a wonderful experience and wish you the best.

The crew came on time, they didn’t have back braces, or any items to make moving furniture easier or quicker, they weren’t in any type of uniform. They were polite and respectful of my items.
I think it took them way too long to make the move. The fellows that came worked ok but moved slowly. It appeared the times we left the location and returned there wasn’t any progress so perhaps they weren’t working when we weren’t there watching them
I’m not sure I would use them again.

Mover's response:
Hello Shirley. Our crewmembers dont wear back braces unless they are in pain or injured. The handtruck and 4 wheel dollys we had are standard on all our jobsites. Sorry you dont think we moved fast enough. Care of goods is paramount, and we wouldnt want to rush and risk damaging anything. We were happy to extend you a military discount, and even gave you a 3rd crew member for free.
