Guys were awesome . I had a late afternoon time slot and was fully prepared for them to be late due to other jobs running long over the course of the day.

They kept me up to date on ETA and showed up 5 minutes prior to the appointment. Very professional , very respectful, and knocked the job down very efficiently. Great guys!

I was thoroughly pleased with the experience that Thunderhorse Moving provided. They were on time and communicated questions on the phone before the move took place. They worked fast and packed the moving container very efficiently; way better than I would have been able to do on a full night’s sleep and extra coffee. It was a little on the expensive side, but it seems like that’s the way things are. They weren’t any more than the competition. I’d recommend!
And Thunderhorse is the most metal of names for a company!

Mover's response:

Our team takes pride in their efficiency and communication, and we're glad it made your move smoother. We understand that moving can be costly, and we strive to offer competitive pricing while providing top-notch service. And yes, we do think Thunderhorse is a pretty metal name too! Thanks again for choosing us and for sharing your positive experience!

They were on time and came prepared. I had a 28 foot truck, that was completely full. They just kept moving. They were very hard workers. Took about a 20 minute break gave them pizza and some refreshments and they continued until everything was unloaded. Very respectful of my items and handle everything with care. If there was an arrow on the box they made sure it was turned the right way. I definetly recommend them.

Mover's response:
We were happy to assist with the unloading of your container. We're here for you anytime you need us. Enjoy your new place!
