My movers were great at communicating w me prior to the move. They were timely, professional, and made the whole experience positive. Their sense of humor was appreciated during such a stressful time. I was able to book them for longer than my original session. They happily obliged and went the extra mile to help me take a few things to my garage that was on site, but about a block away. I would highly recommend Eric and his team ??

This is the second time we have used Marion Movers. First time was two years ago to unload the truck, when my daughter moved to Iowa City for grad school. When we needed movers to load the truck to move her out of her apartment, this was the first call we made. The crew was on time and did a stellar job. Would highly recommend Marion movers for any of your moving needs.

The workers did a fine job. The reason I probably will not go through Hire a Helper again is because of the cost. I had everything ready to go for them and we worked very efficiently moving only 3 pieces of furniture. There ended up being only one set of stairs (and it was short, maybe 8 steps) at the loading point and no stairs at the unloading point because we got lucky and everything fit in the elevator . So we finished in about 1.25 hours. Paying $500 for 1.25 hours is a little insane. I realize that was for a 2-hour minimum, and prorating the $500 for 1.25 hours would be about $315 and that is more reasonable. But, I was in a pinch as far as schedule and finding someone to help, so I did it, but I won't do it again.

They were on time, very polite, and got right to work. They were careful to rewrap a few items to protect them before moving them into the house and worked quickly. I would absolutely recommend them and would use them again.

My movers arrived exactly on time, they were very efficient and fast with loading the truck. They were able to get all my items loaded and unloaded in a great time frame with care. This was the first time I've hired movers, and this company exceeded my expectations. They accommodated everything I needed with professionalism. I will definitely be hiring again for my next move. Highly recommend!!
