1.0 out of 51.0
This was the only time I have ever/will ever use them. Let me first say that I am a big dude (6'5", 275lbs). I have been in construction most of my life and have also worked as a mover and furniture installer for commercial movers and office furniture companies, So I know what I'm doing and I can carry heavy loads better than most. This was an August move in FL, I understand that its hot outside so I supplied a case of bottled water and lunch from a sub shop. We hired them for a local move (2 pick up locations and 1 destination). This was a residential move to a 4 BR house. I requested 3 movers and a 24' truck.
PROS: 3 people showed up, on time, with a 24' truck. They did not damage/lose/steal anything. Thats all the positives..
CONS: They sent me (2) 160lb-ish guys and a girl. Not to be rude, but MOST men and women were created differently; to physically be capable of doing different things. It took around 8 hours. Halfway through the girl "wasn't feeling good", gave up, and sat in the cab of the truck. The guys were unable to pack the truck properly, so a 3rd trip had to be made. I myself had to load a few heavy things that the 2 guys together were unable to lift. SAD and PATHETIC from "professional movers". Next time I have to move I'll have my 4 year old son help, rent a truck and do it myself. The next time I want to throw away a grand and be completely disappointed at the end, I'll go to a strip club! I'm still so unhappy that I'm writing this review about a year and a half later. I actually got an email asking me to review my experience today 1/2016 and my move was 8/2014. This experience may keep me from EVER hiring any other moving company! Ever! Ill do it myself. I am not exaggerating any thing except maybe the weight of the 2 guys (probably closer to 140 each)!
