Chris and Quan did a fantastic job! In the August heat of Texas they finished the job early on a third floor walk up. Thanks guys!

I scheduled an arrival between noon and 1, they showed up at 1:15. In two hours they accomplished maybe half of what I expected, leaving several items scattered across three flights of stairs. This was a 1 bedroom apartment! One mover attempted to gain access to the wrong unit even after I told him it was the next floor up. This same employee was caught talking to someone in a car that was not related to our move. Both were on their phones far too often for the work they accomplished. Not worth the money I paid, would not hire them again.

Mover's response:
Hi mam, sorry you were not satisfied with your move, upon booking we stated you were the second job and would get to youbas soon as we finished the morning job, apologies for the 15 minutes delay but we got right to work. "We were caught"? The person in the vehicle was asking us how long we were going to be blocking the parking spots to the apartment with your truck as we were blocking his spot, not that it mattered as you paid to use our services, not to own us and what we do, we were speaking to someone about your job. We have one person take stuff halfway down and the other person brings it the rest of the way so we aren't running 2 flights each in 110 degrees weather, makes things move quicker. There was nothing else that could fit in your pod as we packed every square in of it, thanks for your business and hopefully we can make it up to you in in future. Ogre Man Movers

The guys were nice but we felt like they were rushing through the job and not as careful with our belongings as they should be. Placing sharp objects near fabric furniture. There loading was questionable lots of empty space not utilized properly. When into the job they questioned several times whether all the furniture would fit even though i moved before with the same amount of furniture and had no problems and all items fit. At the end of loading they couldn’t fit all my furniture leaving out dining room table, chairs several amount of boxes, tools, gaming chair and lots of miscellaneous stuff. Also 2 of my couch pieces were damaged as well as a desk piece. After they left
we ended up taking more then half of the stuff out and with help of some family reloaded everything and lo and behold 90% of items they left out we were able to fit in the container. So overall not satisfied. Again, guys were nice, I offered them drinks (hot day) and still tipped them each for there work but I paid $300 for 2 hours work and don’t feel that was worth it at all. Because of all this I can’t give more then 2 stars.

Mover's response:
Mam we're sorry you are un satisfied with your move, I assure you your pod was packed properly and as safely as it could be without you having the proper blankets or moving supplies needed to pack your pod properly as we have loaded over 10,000 pods. The reason there was space was so items DID NOT get damaged due to lack of protective supplies. Our liability only covers units we pack, so unfortunately you unpacking our packed unit and repacking it voids all liability for any damage on our part as well as hireahelpers. Thanks again for your business and hopefully we can make it up to you in the future, Ogre Man Movers

Sebastian and Eric were very knowledgeable about packing, courteous and professional. On top of that they were fast - did a lot in two hours. Great job. Thanks.

The moving team assigned to my move was polite and respectful, and they handled my possessions appropriately. Unfortunately, they arrived thirty minutes AFTER the one-hour arrival time window. Furthermore, one of the men was noticeably high and my kids noticed the strong smell of marijuana on him. He walked very slowly with my boxes, so maybe it was a good thing? The final issue that affected my review is that, even though I had 45 minutes left in my pre-paid two hour time block, the movers made excuses for why they couldn’t move some items my old residence which was three miles away. Strange, I called their boss and he said it was just fine. In the end, I was able to get the two hours of service that I paid for, but it was disappointing and awkward that I had to call the owner to make it happen.

Mover's response:
Hi mam, sorry you were unsatisfied with your move. All of our employees are background tested and drug tested regularly, so unsure of what you smelled but we can assure the employees were not on Marijuana or anything for that matter, as you can see from our reviews we are as professional as it gets. Furthermore why would your underage kids know what Marijuana smells like to begin with and why isn't that a serious issue to you? The reason for the discrepancy on the job is you wanted to add an additional stop that was not relayed on your order or with us, we charge for miles between locations and it was 20 miles each way at $1.75 so you had a fee that was unpaid for but wanting the service anyways. Unfortunately we don't provide free labor to anyone, yet we still went with you the the added location free of charge and loaded the items anyways. We book our days according to the times people reserve, so when clients want to add a bunch of different services the day if their move, we Unfortunately are not always able to accommodate due to other jobs booked that day. Like I said, all of our employees are drug tested regularly. Thanks again for your business and hopefully we can make it up to you in the future. Ogre Man Movers

These guys were GREAT! Dave and Quan knocked out everything in under two hours- lots of hustle, masterful packing in our PODs container. Only issue was 11am-12pm showtime... they came at 12:30pm- but they called and let us know they would be late. Professional and thorough. We've move a bunch (20+years in the military) and very impressed with the hustle and professionalism. Would recommend and will use again if the opportunity comes up.
