The two guys they sent were so friendly, polite, and efficient. I don’t think they took any breaks and got the job done right.

Mover's response:
Thank you kindly. We appreciate the feedback. We are glad you chose us to load your pods and that the crew did an excellent job for you. Thanks again.

They did not listen. They put things in the pod that did not belong. They left things that belonged in the pod inside my home. Make sure you are in whatever room they are in or you will have a horrible mess like I do now. They need to come back and repack my pod but I cannot afford that.

Mover's response:
Thank you for your feedback. It means a lot to us as it helps us grow our company. We are very sorry to hear our movers did not listen to your instructions. Those movers have been coached on how to listen to customer's instructions on any job they are on. We normally do walkthroughs once we complete a job, and it appears that our crew did not perform a complete walkthrough. Once again, we are very sorry to hear you were unsatisfied with our movers, and we appreciate your business with us.

Sincerely,

Iowa Moving 1

We used this company to unload the POD into the house. The calls in advance of the move were excellent; the company is definitely organized. We received a call immediately after placing the reservation and then again a couple of days before the move to confirm. The guys were nice and thoughtful about when, where, and how to place the objects in the home. One of the guys was definitely a harder worker than the other. I wish there was a way to give him his own review because he was excellent. The other guy was on the phone a lot for personal reasons, which is hard to watch when you know you're paying by the hour. I jumped in and helped move some stuff just to ensure the move kept going forward. The company seems excellent. I gave 4 stars because of the one guy spending so much time on the phone / distracted from the move.

Mover's response:
Thank you for hiring us to unload the POD and your feedback. We always strive to provide a top quality experience overall for our customers. We are glad that the overall experience went well but apologize that one of the movers was distracted with a personal issue during the move. We will discuss with him and try and improve upon that issue with that particular mover for the future. Thanks again.

The Iowa Moving 1 LLC movers were super fast and efficient. They made my moving process from Des Moines to Lincoln very smooth. They loaded all of my items in a u-haul in around 40 minutes. The guys were friendly and on top of it! Definitely would recommend them to anyone who needs loading and unloading services.

Mover's response:
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback on your recent positive experience with our company. We appreciate the compliments and we always aim to provide a high quality and efficient experience for our customers. Thanks again.

We recommend that customers have all boxes packed and sealed before our movers arrive (unless you have hired our company for a packing service). Please ensure that there are clear walk ways within the residence. We ask that all dresser drawers be emptied prior to moving. To save time and money , customers can also have beds disassembled and mirrors removed from dressers ahead of time, if possible.
