These guys are like the Hulk and Hercules combined with a ballerina. They were so careful and protective of our belongings and at the same time, they didn’t let heavy furniture or tall stairways give them fear or pause. Great job guys! What a team!!!

Showed up on time and ready to work. NO messing about, they worked hard the entire time and we had 4 flights of stairs for them to go up and down. Packed truck efficiently. Was so easy on the unload side. Finished within the specified time. Thank you John and crew for an easy move and friendly service.

They packed my POD from 2 storage units in California and did a fine job. I didn't see it in person when it was done but my friend took picture and I was impressed. They even swept the storage units. The service made this a great pick and the company LUCKY movers was great. Now maybe I will get moving labor help once I receive my POD here in New York
