Ben and Darius were outstanding. They had experience packing a POD, hustled throughout the process, were careful with every piece. By careful packing, they filled the POD right up to the closure door. It was a tight load, just what we wanted and needed. I am requesting both men to help us unload when we move back in to the renovated apartment in December. I’m insisting on it!

They did an excellent job of unloading a pod and taking about half of it to an apartment and half in storage.
