The crew given to me by Hire a Helper in Ohio were a pretty friendly bunch, but friendly doesn't mean competent. I think they were called Universal Movers. They talked a lot about being related to one another, and they bickered with one another like brothers. Two i particular. As they entered my home the first thing I showed them was the blankets and straps I'd purchase, (they had told me they didn't supply either.) so they would know where to find them. About 3 hours later the head man came to me and asked me where the straps were. It turns out that they had PACKED my expensive box of straps. They ended up using my roll of clear plastic Saran wrap type styff to "secure" my life's possessions. At their request I gave them a good rating. But, when my possessions finally arrived at their Florida destination, (three weeks later, but that's another story) I saw how they had "secured" my possessions. Items were spilled, boxes overturned, a desk which had been tossed upside down, unprotected, with boxes on top, was broken. My antique dining room table tossed upside down on a pile like an after thought. Worst of all, MY most cherished possession, my father's pool table (he passed in 1979) had been carried out and put in the trailer and loaded with boxes. It wasn't covered or wrapped the legs had not been removed, or protected. My unloading team was shocked at how completely careless my loading crew had been. My dear father's pool table, which had been his prized possession was terribly damaged! Legs broken on both sides, and the felt stretched. At the start when they toured my home at their arrival, how important that was to me and why. I'm heartbroken over it all. Upset and dissapointed.

Mover's response:
For starters we went above and beyond on loading not one but two semi trailers almost completely full I apologize that if items were damaged or broken but the part about nothing being padded is completely untrue I own the company and I took my time making sure every single piece of wood was completely covered and especially the pool table it was completely covered and wrapped with like eight moving blankets and also I stated we don’t move pool tables and there was a possibility it may be damaged and you stated that it would be fine that it wasn’t that heavy it was well over 450 pounds and we didn’t charge you the $500 fee for moving it it took 4-5 guys to move it I’ve been moving professionally and for my own company for 23 years and this review is horrible and absurd no one was arguing or bickering at your home were are family owned so of course we’re all brothers that do the moving company together I don’t see why that’s a problem I have over hundreds and hundreds of reviews and this is by far the worst of all we had 344 5 stars in a row for a reason and the load was tied down and secured we aren’t required to provide any supplies but dolly’s and tools it’s in the contract stated when you hire our company !! And definitely nothing heavy was stacked on top of your pool table it was light boxes and kitchen chairs and pillows and bags things that would not damage it by any means.and we definitely didn’t just throw things inside the truck I also have photos of every teer that I loaded just in case something like this would happen like I stated I apologize for any inconvenience and I apologize you have broken items but we definitely did not do so wack load job your station in this review ,Ty for the horrible review and good luck to you and your future endeavors.

This was an above average moving crew. The guys were on time. They were communicative and extremely polite. They asked questions about where everything went and placed it all in the right spots. If it needed to be moved after the fact, it wasn't a problem. They took direction easily, adjusting their approach to moving in an item I asked them to be extra careful with. I would likely hire this crew again.

I did not appreciate being forced to tip in person, especially after the did not complete the requested packing (not due to time constraints, just purely didn’t know how to pack). Would not recommend or hire again.
