Workers were very hard working and helpful. My only complaint is that they started 40 minutes late due to a different job that ran late apparently. They did not have any tools or even a dolly and that would have been helpful for them I believe. Because they started late we were not able to borrow a dolly to help them out because the storage facility people had gone home at 5pm (they started at 4:40pm).

Prompt (actually a little early, and they called first to make sure that was ok), very hard working, polite, and always checking in with me to make sure everything was going how I wanted. They were really wonderful, and I will hire them again if needed and definitely recommend them to friends/family.

Communication was great, I was contacted immediately, and both men worked steadily and efficiently on loading our POD. Unfortunately I am not able to give 5 stars - they did not wrap all our furniture and did not pay attention to whether the boxes were marked with "do not stack", so at least 2 boxes were crushed. As well as a part for our clothing rack was missing upon unloading. This was not due to not enough time, since we hired them for 7 hours and they only worked 4 hours. We did not receive a refund for the hours not worked. So they could spent more time being careful with our possessions.

Mover's response:
Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your moving needs. I am sorry for the unfortunate experience that you had. Just know that this is definitely not the norm for us. As far as the refund when you went to release the payment you could have told them the hours actually worked.

One guy did twice as much as the other. Feel the last hour to hour and a half was milked. Job was booked for 4 hrs and it went to 4 hrs and 5 minutes. When called Hire A Helper to release payment we asked about the other 5 minutes and they called mover to see if he would wave the 5 minutes and they said no and tried to make us pay for 15 more minutes. Had to dispute extra charges. He lied and later texted that Hire A Helper was the one charging extra. Was not impressed.

Mover's response:
Thank You for the opportunity to help a fellow Vet. But as far as the time being milked that is a very unreasonable statement. We did 2 trips with a 15ft truck and you can ask any other moving company out there 4 hours to load and unload 2 15 ft trucks with travel involved is pretty good timing. As far as you questioning my integrity and saying that I lied that also in not true. We started loading the first load @ 8:50 am (you can read the policy on hire a helpers website time starts when the mo

Very nice job, combined with great perceptiveness that I was stressed because the previous mover did a no show. The packing was tight and professionally done, I felt at peace very quickly. I appreciated it beyond the work itself. Thoughtful folks.
