They were late, but notified me as soon as they were delayed. I had 3 movers requested, but they brought 5 from another job at no charge. The loaded a 23' trailer almost completely in 2 hours. Initially, I was prepared for a 5 star. As I began unloading, I saw how negligent they were with how they stacked my property. The company has you sign a paper stating you didn't have enough padding to properly protect all surfaces. Since it's virtually impossible to cover all surfaces, there's little way out of this. But I provided many blankets and old sheets to help as much as I could. As I was unloading, I see things protected that don't need it (old refrigerator against and old washer) and things that need it left against hard surfaces (refinished oak table with metal lamps forced up against it. As I near the end of the truck, I also see most of the padding I supplied still in it's original bag, never even used. We marked items as fragile, which many ended up on the bottom with heavy items on top. One kitchen box was turned on its side even though it was a cube with an obvious up side, so it spilled olive oil out due to extra pressure on the sideways bottles. Most furniture was damaged, the most important was our family piano. The piano was the only reason we hired this company. They didn't provide any protection even though it was prior to them even using the last blankets they were supplied, then they stacked multiple heavy items on top of it. The frame of the top of the piano snapped and need restored, as well as the finish across the top that is no covered in scratches and gouges. I think they wanted to leave, so they decided my stuff could be sacrificed. Wouldn't use again. 2 stars solely because of speed, but 2 stars probably because of speed. Wish I hadn't tipped them, this scenario is also why I hate the suggestion that these people need tips. You don't know how well they did until you get where you're going.

Mover's response:
We are truly sorry your items were damaged during their transportation to the new location. When we provide labor only services we do our very best with the supplies, truck, trailer or container provided. Although freight trailers are a more economical choice for transporting items, there is an inherent risk of using them. The nature of the truck/trailer suspension system are not ideal for household furniture unlike typical moving trucks. They ride much rougher and jostle and shift the load around during the ride. Hire-a-helper as well as our company recommends proving 1 moving specific blanket/pad per furniture piece. Unfortunately household blankets and sheets provide little to no protection from scratches, dents and damages as apposed to an actual padded moving blanket. For those reasons we do ask that a damage waiver be signed prior to the start of our work in situations where a freight trailer and inadequate moving blankets are provided as we can not fully guarantee damage won't occur during transport. In our full service ( truck provided) moving we utilize our moving blankets to completely cover and pad all furniture surfaces to thoroughly protect each and every piece and transport items in a box truck with proper suspension and the least amount of load movement possible. Again we are very sorry your items were damaged but we assure you we did everything under OUR control to prevent it with what we were provided. We do encourage you to look into hire-a-helpers moving blanket recommendations as well as research the disadvantages and downfalls of using a freight trailer for household goods. We aim for 100% customer satisfaction and apologize for falling short under these circumstances.

Absolutely the best!!! I would rehire at any time.
Friendly, respectful, professional, timely, and helpful!! Loaded our truck to perfection as well. They had every item needed that we did not think of for the job.

Although only 3 workers showed up (instead of the 4 I hired), they finished packing the 20' truck I rented within the four hours hired. I had one wheel broken off a cabinet, but don't know if that happened on the moving end or the unmoving end.... Everything else was wrapped up great (love the $10 deal on cardboard & saran wrap protection they offer!) and the glass all came through with flying colors. This is the second time I have hired Bennetts.

Keith and Brad did an amazing job! They were punctual, kind, hard working, and took exceptional care of all of my belongings. They made my moving day so much easier than I ever thought it could be. I look forward to hiring them again! Highly recommend!

Skylar and Sam just moved numerous heavy peices down three flights of stairs and right back up another three flights, in the rain, and did a perfect job!! They were on time, introduced themselves before coming in, and finished early. Will definitely recommend and use again!
