We had three young gentlemen who helped us load 22 Linear Feet of cargo in a 28-foot-long trailer parked in front of our house. The work was completed within the initially projected time (4 hours), and we paid almost $900 (with a tip that brought up our total cost close to $1200). During the loading, the crew worked well; they seemed energetic, talked well, and moved items fast to the trailer. I was not able to see or observe how they were stacking our boxes and other items, such as wood furniture pieces, kitchen chairs, tables, bikes, skis, snowboards, and bed headboards, together for the 2000-mile road trip.

The Hire-A-Helper emailed me an estimate that I needed to order/prepare more than 12 required straps and over 96 furniture blankets or pads for the moving day (which cost me an additional ~$300 to order and have ready for the crew). To my surprise, the moving crew used only a few straps, a handful of rubber bands, and a minimal amount of blankets and pads (maybe only 20 or a maximum of 30), making me slightly nervous about scratches and potential damage. We ended up having 3+ bundles of blankets/furniture pads left unopened and unused.

Upon arrival in our final destitution, almost every piece of furniture had severe visible scratches from moving and rubbing against hard surfaces during the road trip. Our Mini Refrigerator doors were bent and dented; some of our mountain bikes had significant scratches on the paint; some bikes had flat tires on unloading, etc. Some items, such as our daughter's bed headboard, were so bad that we had to throw them away. My wife was extremely unhappy with the conditions of the items as they came out of the trailer upon arrival at the final destination. Even the crew helping us to unload commented multiple times on how poorly and unprofessional the items were loaded and stacked by the initial destination crew.

I rate this team highly for communication and speed of work. However, they did a poor job protecting our belongings from scratches and damages during transportation. Overall, we are unhappy with the results, which are not in line with the fees, charges, and tips we paid. I recommend the trucking company U-Pack, but the moving companies on both ends of the trip under-delivered in their help and services.

Team was early, worked hard and finished ahead of schedule, despite the containers not being loaded efficiently for the unpack location.

The gentlemen were prompt, professional, and did a great job with unloading my POD. They were both very friendly. I would definitely utilize this company if needed again.

My movers were great. I only had a single 16 ft POD and the two gentlemen had it unloaded in a littlr over an hour. The also set up our furniture. They were very carefull and we had absolutely no damage to anything. We are very happy we used their service.

Very good or excellent. To start they showed up right on and were waiting for me as I arrived to unpack the container. There were professional, friendly, efficient and took care in unpacking the container and loading it into the truck for transport. Two hours later we arrived at the unloading point after driving through a snow storm. Safety first. They unloaded the truck quickly and helped organize the boxes and stuff into the storage locker. Again, they cared, asked questions and were great to work with. Would use them again with out hesitation

Dominic and Seth arrived right on time as they said they would. They were very professional and they were very strong and they got the job done. They did not slack and they were kind and I would definitely hire them again and recommend them to others.

They showed up on time and worked diligently. Unfortunately they did not adequately pack some of the furniture and we had damaged furniture as a result. The group who unloaded the truck was not happy with what they saw and repeatedly pointed out where they did not secure things properly.
