Firstly, I cannot blame the two men that showed up to do the unloading. Dre, their boss obviously did not train them nor invest in proper equipment - safety, tools or even a proper hand truck and dolly.
Secondly, I had to help a lot. If I hadn’t, it may have taken these two 5 hours to get the truck unloaded. They didn’t even know how to lift using their legs.
The two men that showed up were well mannered and did their best. However, there were multiple issues - lightweight hand truck for heavy washer & dryer - no lifting straps provided or waist belts (for the movers to safely lift heavy objects) for getting both downstairs. Consequently, the dryer door was scrapped because the two didn’t even know to measure before trying to get it through the door.
They didn’t even have screw drivers to remove the dryer door. I had to go find my tool box & get tools for them. Guess what they did while I looked for tools? NOTHING. There was a lot of this lack of urgency or caring that time was ticking. One guy would be removing the bolts from the table while the other looked on without a care in the world.
I’d asked them several times to check the crates & boxes if unmarked to see what was inside and place where it belonged. One of them didn’t do it at all. He’d find me and have me check them before doing anything. That ate up a lot of time. STILL, clearly marked boxes wound up all over the place and not where they should have been.
Ultimately, because of their lack of experience & one not cooperating, I wound up paying for an additional hour - 3 hours total for what should have taken 2 hours maximum.
I would never recommend Dre’s company, Shield Movers to anyone. It was a disaster. Worst moving experience. It was obvious Dre didn’t care about his employees or me as the customer.

Harry and Quintin arrived on time and got right to work on my Relo-Cube load. They were attentive, very polite, and very strategic in their game of Tetris in that darn cube. Kudos to them for their swift work that was done in just under one hour (I had a small, two bedroom house and the vast majority of the load was boxes and furniture pieces).
Would hire them again in a heartbeat. Thanks, guys - I appreciate you greatly.

Both unloaders were perfect in every aspect of the task and we appreciate their effort. We will use them again!

I would absolutely recommend Shield Moving Services! I had asked if they could come earlier in the day than I originally scheduled, and they made it happen! They finished the job really quickly and were friendly and polite. They didn't damage anything and were really considerate of where we wanted to put everything, and of the things that we were keeping on the truck to put in storage. Hopefully I won't be moving again any time soon, but if I do, I will absolutely hire them again!

They were 2 hours late. We had to explain to them how to load the moving truck and they were not very good or professional about loading it.

Get To Know Us
What can a customer expect after booking with you?
Once you have placed your order, the office of SHIELD Moving will give you a call to gather all of the details necessary to know for the move. You can expect to receive a call from the office within less than 48 hours. However, if you would like to speak sooner you may call the office number any day before 7:30PM. Once your details are secured, you will then hear from us again the day of the move.
What can a customer expect on moving day if they hire you?
Your movers will get in contact with you the day of the move before they depart to you. Once SHIELD movers arrive at the first location, they will ask to do a walkthrough and to show which items are and are not going onto the truck. Next they will go over the SHIELD moving service agreement with you to establish the terms of the move. Once that is done they will start to move items in the necessary order. At the unload, your movers will place every one of your items where you need them to be.
How should a customer prepare for moving day?
To prepare for the move, start by placing all loose or miscellaneous items inside of boxes (bags are ok). Keeping the place organized will not only save time but it will also be safer for the movers if their walking space is clear of loose items. Be prepared to receive a phone call from your movers on the day of your move. Your movers will have all items and tools necessary to get the job done well.
What types of moves have you handled?
We have handled very many moves close to or local to Milwaukee County and Waukesha County. Our moves have mainly consisted of residential homes and also some office/business moves. You have the option to have us load and unload (both), only load, or only unload your truck or storage pod.
What's your favorite part about being a mover?
My favorite part about being a mover is that we are able to make big changes in very many peoples lives just by simply doing our work.
What training do you provide your crew members?
Our crew members are trained here at the SHIELD Moving office. The majority of the training is teaching new crew members how to maneuver items properly, how to care for and protect the items using the equipment we have, how to pack a truck/storage (stacking, blanket usage, securing with straps, item safety, personal safety), truck driving safety, and working with items of abnormal weight, size, or shape. All movers are retrained every 4 months.
