Kevin and Malcome were excellent. They called me when they were in route and showed up right on time. They did a quick inventory as to what was in the POD and then they got right to work. They were very hard workers and took direction well. They were cautious not to scratch any furnature or mark up the walls. They even went the extra effort and were able to move a very large industrial sized freezer into our basement. I would certainly be willing to use them again. Good job S & L.

Mover's response:
Thanks for the awesome 5 STAR RATING Greg

Well, this was not a very smooth move.

The first problem arose while attempting to change my move time due to when I could reserve my freight elevator. Somehow, even though I called both the owner and hireahelper, the message never got through about the time change, so the movers showed up 2 hours early and there was a huge ordeal, although they were able to help at approximately the right time...more on that later...

At the correct time, one of the men showed up, but it took the other guy 25 minutes to show up because he was supposedly circling the block to get back. So I sat around making small talk with the first guy for 25 minutes - great use of my time on a frantic moving day.

After that, the guys worked but not very efficiently. One guy (the first guy to show up) was definitely the leader and had more experience, and would have been great if paired with another guy who was equal or better in skill and motivation. The "leader" guy had to constantly keep the other guy moving and tell him how to do things.

If I were to do it again, I would take the "leader" guy with a different partner - my guess (or hope) is that the time change made them use someone who they normally wouldn't use, and that this was an anomaly.

Cheers!

Mover's response:
I apologize for the 1 helper being late due to finding adequate parking downtown, our rates are so inexpensive, that we must take extra precaution not to get ticketed. Unfortunately, no one is immune to tardiness in this industry, Glad there was NO DAMAGE to your items, We made arrangement to adjusted our schedule for you with late notice when your container company changed your drop off. Yeah we came 2 hours early but we had the 1 helper sit there for 2 hours with a dolly until you were ready.

Arrived within the scheduled time, worked in an efficient and consistent manner. Took care with the items both in wrapping the furniture and in loading the trailer. I was very pleased and would recommend them to others.

Thank you Gary

The movers were involved in a physical assault with the students being moved. Beyond the assault, several of the crew members made inappropriate comments to the customers. I am extremely disappointed in the way that our customers were subjected to this inappropriate communication.

The owner has not offered any consideration for the events that transpired with their crews.

Mover's response:
David, you are right about one thing here. One of the helpers was involved in a physical assault. He was actually assaulted by a student who ran off after she struck him. As far as consideration, I called you immediately and heard your side which was all hearsa because the young lady involved ran and you weren't able to talk to her. I also explained to you that I was on vacation and out of the state, but assured you that you can call me if and when you spoke with the student, you never did.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED SITE:

I forgot to hire help for the day of my move. thanks to HireaHelper I just had to make one phone call and my issue was resolved right away. The representative walked me through the process, she thought of everything I needed and all I had to do was pay.

HireAhelper = No Brainer!

Thanks!

Mover's response:
Awesome review Dyyanna, and cool name..

Called to let me know they were on there way. They were right on time and very friendly. I had a 16ft truck for them to unload to the 3rd floor. They got it done before the 2 hour mark with a lot of time to spare. Very impressive. Very efficient and careful. I would use them again and refer to friends.

Mover's response:
Thank you Jennifer.

S & L Express did a great job! Our 2 helpers were polite & got the job done quickly. They were an hour late for the start time but made up for it with their fast work. I'd highly recommend them & use them again myself.

Mover's response:
Thank you Cynthia, we appreciate you not ding-ing us for the tardiness. In this business we sometimes get 4, 3, and even 2 stars for being tardy when most of the time it was due to the previous job and the customer needed us longer than expected. We can't leave a customer high and dry like that, but the next job is not always as understanding.

Thank you for understanding...!

The crew was amazing when it came to fitting items in the pod. They demonstrated genius in layering and fitting things together so that everything fit. However, at the very end they rushed and packed the last bits less than optimally and left a number of items (large rugs) for us to handle. I would gladly have paid for an extra hour to get the job done right but they were in a hurry to get to their next job. We had to repack ourselves and that left a bad taste in my mouth. Just be aware these guys are packers and not really movers. Be prepared with all of the right blanketing to protect your furniture. This is not what they do.

Mover's response:
We apologize for having to leave, but this is a very busy season and we had another job scheduled directly afterwards and we try hard to keep all appointment and be as prompt as possible. We do not provide blankets, these are items that majority of our customers already have reserved. Glad there was NO damage..!
