The two movers from MinuteMen came on time and were very nice. They worked very hard to get some of our heavy/bulky items stacked with care. They also helped us wrap a few difficult items with plastic wrap. We were doing a shuttle service to a Upack service center and they organized our relocube to perfectly fit all of our items.

This was the easiest and most stress-free part of a very stressful move. I had to adjust instructions multiple times and due to a few miscommunications when the move info was originally set up, had to adjust our move plan. The Mighty Movers were so flexible and easy to work with and made the experience so easy. They definitely went above and beyond in every way. I cannot recommend them enough.

We had recent bad luck with movers, so we were hesitant to hire movers again. However, IJC was great. They called ahead and had me send photos of any items that were questionable (they were fine). They showed up inside the arrival window and performed a thorough walk-through before starting. The crew lead said that the job would take a little longer than the estimate and he asked if we wanted them to stop at the cut-off time or finish the job (very considerate!). The 3 crew members were hard working, polite, and asked questions when needed. They were careful, and nothing was damaged in the move! They are worth the money, and I would be happy to hire them again.

Gus was great and personable. He knew his trade, Bobby and Quan were good help and learned fast. I especially appreciated the fact that the young men stayed off of their phones during the job, something rare these days.
