Doug and his crew are amazing. Their experience and knowledge really helped me sort my PODs. They are careful with all my belongings even when they are not labeled "fragile". Highly recommend!

Mover's response:
Thank you for the 5-Star review, Shanondora! I really appreciate it! It was an absolute pleasure to help you with your move. The other half of a great move.....is a great customer.....which you were! I wish you all the best in your new home, and with your new position. Take care!

Other than being over an hour late they did a great and professional job. They took great care of my things. Very friendly.

Mover's response:
I greatly appreciate the 5-Star review! It was a pleasure assisting you with your move. Yes.....As I explained to you when I phoned to explain that we were going to be late, sometimes the downside of hiring a single parent as an employee is they will have a babysitter that doesn't show up! Thank you for being understanding about the situation. I wish you all the best!

Doug, his son & Cyrus were extremely pleasant & efficient. Even tho my Pod was a mess from me trying to pack it myself, they were able to straighten it out. Pack it properly, get the things in I couldn't do all in under the 2 hours alotted. They were very kind. I deffinetly will be using them when it comes time to unpack my Pod when I find a new place to live. Yes I most definitely will recommend them to anyone I know needing their services. Made my hectic day much pleasantries.
Thank You
Sincerely
Dianna Bowman

Melacon was friendly, professional, honest, informative, and efficient. They treated all my things as if they were packing there own belongings. I would highly recommend their services to everyone!

(5) 8/14/2017 Springfield

They were amazing, dedicated, excessively careful, very professional, & at all times considerate & thoughtful in handling my belongings! They performed a 3-D spatial Jenga juggling act to not only perfectly balance & tie down the load, but also make every last item fit in the POD (a huge gift)! I couldn't be happier, & I highly recommend my team to anyone moving, near or far.
