I booked them for 2 hours, But it took 4 hours, Which was my fault. I didn't know that they would wrap my furniture with blanks, Tony and his employee did a fantastic job packing my furniture. I was highly impressed with their professionalism. I would recommend them.

Mover's response:
Thanks for the great review, Bernard.

The movers were fantastic!! My fiance and I drove from Central Florida to Missouri and everything was secured and safe throughout the trip. They gave a recommendation for pad blankets and I ran out because I had a lot of dining room chairs. They suggested getting more because the better everything is wrapped the better secure it will be. If you have good stuff, listen to them. They know what they are doing. I highly recommend A MOVERS because they took care of my things and the price was perfect for the great service.

Mover's response:
I'm very happy with this review and I'm glad you pointed out that you took our advice and went and got additional moving blankets and had no issues on your long journey. Just about every unsatisfied customer of ours on this review board went againt our advice on moving blankets and incurred damages to thier furnishings. If you do not wish to have damages in transport, take our expert advice and get recommended number of pads.

Matthew and John not only unloaded in a timely manner, but put beds together and took all unwanted stuff and loaded it into a truck for the dump. Matthew seemed to be experienced and knowledgable. Would definitely use them again.

Mover's response:
Thanks for the great review, Sandy. This review made Matthew's day!

Tony and Anessa helped me with my move and they did an excellent job. They were literally the best movers I have ever used and I've moved too many times. I highly recommend them and their company.

DO NOT USE!! We had them come back the next day after purchasing an extra 2.5 hours because the job ended up being far bigger than anticipated. We were quoted one price, and told an hour would be moved to the next day. When they finished the job the next day in one hour, they charged us for 2 extra hours and a travel fee. They originally made the deal with my wife, and I was unaware of it the next day and paid them. Now...2 weeks later, we have been unable to get our money back since they over charged us. In fact, they hang up on my wife in the middle of the conversation and then they blocked our numbers. DO NOT USE!!! VERY SHADY! They also broke 2 legs off of a couch and didn't say a word about it (didn't find that out until later).

Mover's response:
Ryan, I'm having a hard time understanding your issue. First of all we loaded your 2 PODS and you had numerous items left over. We then offered to come back out the next day with OUR TRUCK, at a very afforable rate I might add. We charged you only the agreed upon amount (our minimum) NOTHING MORE. We DID NOT BREAK your couch legs. We REMOVED them and you declined to us putting them back on.

I was very impressed. The Helpers were hard workers and considerate. I could see the work ethic and positive interaction betwen the three of them. I would recommend this team to any of my friends and/or family.

Mover's response:
You can always expect positive interactions between our crews. Here at A Move Ahead Movers we are one big family. Customer satisfation is our number one goal. Thank you for your business and the wonderful review.

Took 4 hours to unload and my daughter and I did a lot. They simply didn't move very fast. I'm comparing them to the movers who packed the entire truck in less than 4 hours and who were excellent!

Mover's response:
Unfortunately the door was small with a wall directly behind it. Michelle, there was no straight shot into your home. You removed the screen from your screen room and had my movers lifting items over a 4 ft. wall into your home through the back porch. I do apologize that you felt like the extra time was due to anything but unexpected obstacles(i.e.Your doorway and most items having to be lifted though the back). FUTURE CUSTOMERS PLEASE NOTE: long walks and obstacle courses my take extra time.

Get To Know Us

What can a customer expect after booking with you?

After booking with us you can expect a phone call from our offices just to reach out and get a feel for your unique situation. We will go over all needed supplies and firm up all the details.

What can a customer expect on moving day if they hire you?

Upon moving day you will receive a call from your movers within an hour of your booked arrival window. The movers will reach out just to make sure everything is still going according to plan and will give you their expected GPS arrival time. We know that nothing is more stressful than being nervous that the movers aren't gonna show up, so we like to put your mind at ease.

How should a customer prepare for moving day?

If you will be hiring us to load your rental truck, trailer or portable shipping container it is imperative that you provide an adequate amount of moving blankets, plastic stretch wrap and rope to avoid serious damage to your items. The blankets can usually be rented with your truck or portable shipping container and are worth every penny. We can provide rope and plastic wrap for an additional fee or it can be purchased at Lowe's or Home Depot in the moving supplies section.

What types of moves have you handled?

We have handled literally every type of move from local to long distance, from household to office/commercial. We have handled everything from medical equipment to flight simulators and we are equipped to move large items such as pianos and grand pianos.

What's your favorite part about being a mover?

Our favorite part about being movers is that we get to help someone with literally the hardest and most stressful task of their adult life.

What training do you provide your crew members?

All of our crew leaders are required to have a minimum of 4 years professional moving experience and upon hire, undergo at least 2 weeks of training with the owner of the company (a very particular veteran mover in the industry) before being set free to operate independently. All crew members undergo the same training and we typically only hire crew members who possess at least 2 years minimum professional moving experience. We don't send rookies, period.
