DO NOT use this company to move. They were the absolute worst and talk about thieves! My husband and I hired them to do a local move. The manager (Brian) quoted us 2 days; 1 day to pack and 1 day to load on the truck and drop off at the storage unit. The two gentlemen that showed up started off great, but were super slow packing. They didn't finish packing the first day so they said they'd finish on day two. They said it would only take 2 hours. These 2 hours turned into the entire next day. Not to mention only 1 gentlemen showed up to work on day 2 and packed for a few hours on his own. Brian (the manager) didn't even know he was already at the house packing. Brian had called us that morning to tell us he was short on manning and didn't have anyone to send over. A few hours later, the high schooler's mom dropped him off at our house to "help" the other guy with the packing. Brian asked if they could come over on Saturday to finish and we agreed. He said they would not charge us time and a half for weekend work. On Saturday morning, no one shows up to load the truck. We could not get a hold of anyone at the moving office 1.5 hours later. My husband had to look Brian up on FaceBook to see what was going on. Thankfully, Brian responded to FaceBook messaging. He said someone at his company said that I told them they didn't need to come back on Saturday and that Monday would be good. First, my husband did all the communicating with them and Second, I would have never said that b/c we needed to be out of our house on Monday and Third, we didn't have any other days off to take from work. He sent two gentlemen over within 1 hour. These gentlemen were not expecting to pack on this day and showed up with nothing. (We have a treadmill and they showed up without tools to take it apart. This was noted during the walk thru with Brian.) By this time it is already almost noon on Saturday. They loaded the truck and didn't get to the storage unit until around 5 pm! They said our stuff wouldn't fit in the storage until b/c it wasn't big enough. Brian called around to other storage units but didn't have any luck. By this time all storage locations were closed since it was a Saturday. The movers ended up putting the stuff in the storage unit and it closed just barely. (BTW, this is the storage until Brian recommended we get.) If they had kept to the timeline as agreed, we would have been able to address this issue on a weekday during operating hours. Overall, communication and organization within this moving company is a mess. Brian called the move "a success" simply b/c they got it all done. I would not call it a "success": they did not meet the deadline they quoted us at and they were super slow. They still charged us the full price especially after all this debacle. They put on a good front at the beginning, but once you sign the contract, beware of their tricks! .
