Great guys! They were very professional and nice at the same time. They worked hard the entire time and were very careful! They know now to pack a POD!

These two men worked very hard and carefully throughout the entire job. Albert and Houston were friendly, able and thorough and filled our first pod extremely well. We would recommend them to anyone who needs this type of help and intend to request them for the next pods we are loading. They were a little early and stayed until the job was complete.

The Ogre Man movers arrived on time and worked hard from start to finish. They were friendly and respectful, asking questions whenever they needed me to clarify anything for them. They handled our stuff carefully and minimized the amount of disruption that the move created for our condo building. We had no damage at all from the move and it seemed like it was over before we knew it, which I am sure our neighbors were grateful for. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

The guys were on hand, did a great job and even helped with setting up beds, tv's,etc.

I would recommend them and use them again.

The movers did a fantastic job and greatly exceeded my expectations. They were much faster and more efficient than I had expected. I would have paid double for the service they did. Great job, I´ll definitely choose these guys again!

My experience with Ogre Men was not great. I requested 2 workers. Albert & Dwayne showed up right on time and did an amazing job packing the truck while they were there. They were super guys and the bad part of this review has nothing to do with them. I hired them for 4 hours completely unsure of how long it would take. The job ended up going into double time. But I let everyone know beforehand the job would most likely take longer than 4 hours. I was assured many times that it was not a problem. Why wouldn't they want to get paid for more time? Then, as the heaviest pieces of furniture were still on my driveway yet to be loaded on the truck, I get a call from David letting me know the guys needed to leave in 10 minutes. I had no idea how I was going to get these items on the truck myself and he offered no other alternatives. After hustling for the next 10 minutes to get the remainder of my stuff on the truck, Albert had to leave but Dwayne offered to stay behind to help - which I was incredibly grateful for! About 10 minutes after Albert left, David called me and was incredibly rude to me stating that Ogre Men was not liable for anything going forward. I offered to pay for just Dwayne for the time he was there but he refused. I did not appreciate the manner in which I was spoken to especially as he left me in the lurch. I found out a few days later than Dwayne had been fired to staying behind to help me and he didn't even accept payment for his time, just a ride home. I don't know how I would have coped without Dwayne and feel horrible this happened to him. Bottom line, if you're absolutely 100% sure of how long your packing will take, Ogre Men is a great company to use. Not so great if you have never used moving labor help before and are are clueless as to how long it will take. If that's the case, they may leave you stranded alone in your driveway with loads of heavy furniture.

Mover's response:
Mam we apologize for the inconvenience but we had three other jobs to get to and we book our days according to the time people request and allot 2 extra hours for each job. As you said your job went from 4 to 8 hours and we still had other customers to get to. Dwayne did not ask the office if he could stay on a customers job, which is a big problem liability wise. Dwayne was fired for this reason, we can not have any customer have jobs done not accounted for by the company, he signed a contract.
