ANTHONY P
These guys did the job right. They were on time, prepared for the job, and work extremely hard. There were respectful of my property, and I would use them again. If you have a job that needs to be done right, these guys are the ones to use. Young, strong, full of energy and knows what they are doing. Don't look at the price, look for the quality. You get what you pay for especially if you use some cheap company.

They were great to work with very flexible when truck was late and overall really good at what they do!!! They worked hard and also made sure to make me aware of anything that was damaged even slightly during the transport. Very respectful and when I move again I will be using them!
Jon B
The workers showed up early and ready to go. They worked quickly and followed instructions even if they recommended a different approach. They were knowledgeable and generally respectful of my property. They were a little rougher with a couple of boxes than I would have liked but no harm. They were good workers and I would use them again.

Dave Weissman and his helper from Ogre Man Movers, LLC came to my house on 2/23/14 to load my truck on time.
I also requested them to bring clean shoes, because I had to clean my carpets before their arrival because I needed to leave immediately after, in a timely manner complete the drive to WI, and to catch a plane once I arrived there (to come back for the other car.)
Prior to Dave's arrival, I had measured out all of the furniture to make sure that I had rented the correct size of truck. (I still have my measurements and drawings on graph paper) I showed Dave how I wanted the truck loaded to make sure there was adequate room. I said I wanted it packed tight. I have done many moves myself, and have successfully loaded my own trucks by myself as well, and had no damage on my previous moves.
Dave hardly looked at the drawing because he let me know his way was better. Dave & assistant began to pack the truck, while I was cleaning the house and packing a few last boxes. I came out to see if there was anything they needed my help with, and assisted when necessary. During the packing of the truck, Dave had a sour attitude toward me and proceeded to tell me how little I knew about packing a truck. When I came out the last time, Dave informs me that it all was not going to fit! Here are the items he said would not fit into the truck: Designer Baby high chair, chain saw, (High end)exercise bike, Dining chairs, my queen size bed, shelves, black electronics cabinet, baby's walker, jumper, and exersaucer, vacuum, shampooer, big plastic wagon, adirondack chairs & little table, triwheel stroller, ottoman, turtle sandbox, microwave, 3 large boxes, child's little plastic kitchen, child's yellow table, crutches, ladder, designer bedroom mirror, Christmas tree, rocker/glider, child's tunnel tent, blue hydraulic car jack, base to the dining room table.
Telling me it wasn't going to fit was extremely stressful for me and I had to call my son to tell him, I didn't know what to do, because the rental place was closed and this meant an unloading and reloading of another truck?!?!?
Dave then said, "Hey I know you need to get going and can't leave this stuff here, so I would be glad to throw this stuff in the back of my truck for you".
My son told me to go back to the truck rental to get a bigger truck, which would have been the next morning.
I went into the house just after Dave had left and found that all of a sudden my clean cream colored carpets were BLACK on the stair landings! I then called Hireahelper back to find someone to come to me and unload the truck that Ogre Man loaded. The new Moving Service came to unload my truck on the evening of 2/23/2014. In order to get a new truck, Budget said I had to unload the truck, drive it back to trade it for the bigger one. The new mover told me when they arrived that they believed that all of my stuff WOULD FIT into the 16' truck I already had, and that it would be unnecessary for me to go back to get the larger one. The Moving Service said that it would be a mistake to get the bigger one bc it would take more gas and that there would be more damage from having too much extra space in there. They agreed to unload the truck, and repack it, and if for any reason it didn't fit, they were willing to unload it again for me to get the bigger truck (That's how sure he was that it would all fit).
The Moving Service took pictures as they unloaded the truck filled with huge empty void spaces that could have been packed better, and they had already damaged the washer, dryer, and a nice gilded painting by jamming the headboard end into it. They also had it positioned where it fell forward and the mattress fell down onto the painting box! The moving service successfully unpacked and repacked everything into the 16' truck except for a ladder and a cooler!
As a result of Dave's unprofessional manner, and not getting the job done, I lost over $500.00 when I had to change my missed flight, plus I had to hire a Moving Service @ $270.00 to unpack and repack my truck! I want a refund from Ogre Man's moving services and I guarantee I will be posting a review about this! (Hireahelper question to me, "Did you contact your service provider?" I have not re-contacted Dave because he said he was the owner and I do not want to speak to that man! He was not very nice to me and acted unprofessionally toward me. When I tried to talk to him while he was on the job he talked over me nonstop! I need you to speak to him on my behalf because he does not listen to me.
