The crew that showed up to pack up my house was good. They moved quickly and completed the pack out in one day. They missed a few things that we noticed and a few that we didn't.
Yelp
Our movers were quick, efficient and very professional. When our things arrived, most of our furniture suffered some kind of damage, and the way they took things apart made unpacking difficult.
Colette Shea, Google
The moving crew did a good job. They were hardworking, mostly careful handling our furniture, and courteous, but they did not get all of the items.
