Customer Highlights

Cheerful Movers!

The workspace we were in had to be cleared out in a single afternoon, and it was a mix of monitors, boxes of samples, and test gear from old projects. Some stuff was packed; some wasn’t. They didn’t make a fuss about it. They just worked with what was there. I noticed they kept heavier pieces to one side and didn’t stack anything on the labeled bins. That kind of small attention made the move easier on my end.

Overall, not very reliable.

Communication was difficult from the beginning. Calls and messages were not returned promptly, and I had trouble getting updates about my move. Overall, not very reliable.

Highly recommend this moving crew.

Highly recommend this moving crew. I had a bunch of musical instruments, including a keyboard and speakers. They wrapped everything tightly and secured it in the truck. No bumps or marks when it arrived. You can tell they know what they're doing.

No complaints at all.

I highly recommend asking for Zachary if you book here. We had a tricky move with a narrow basement staircase. He measured everything first and had a plan. He guided his team perfectly, getting our freezer and washing machine up without a hitch. They were done in under 4 hours.

Terrible Service.

The move took much longer than promised, which caused unnecessary stress. I had difficulty getting updates, and the overall coordination could have been much better.

Moving Company

Horrible communication, no set drop off date until last minute. Did not rebuild the furniture they took apart. The movers made it seem like they were doing me a favor instead of my actually paying for the service. I would not recommend this company. Please go elsewhere

Fast, Friendly, and Fantastic!

We had to vacate a small art studio that had been open for three years. Most of the items were oddly shaped. I wasn't sure how well that would go, but the team seemed to understand what to focus on without making a big show of it. I stayed out of the way for the most part, and that worked fine. Things went more smoothly than expected.

I was impressed by how smoothly everything.

I was impressed by how smoothly everything went during my move. The crew arrived right on time and knew exactly what to do from the start. They handled parking, paperwork, and unloading without needing any help from me. Everything was done quietly and efficiently. It’s rare to see that kind of preparation and teamwork these days.

The experience was disappointing.

I expected a smoother process, but there were several issues along the way. Customer support was difficult to reach, and concerns were not addressed promptly. The experience was disappointing.

Very frustrating experience.

Several boxes were handled carelessly, and a few belongings arrived damaged. The crew seemed rushed and paid little attention to fragile items. Very frustrating experience.
