First you folks wildly underestimated the job. 4000 sq ft. 4 movers four hours? I get the push to give a low estimate. But $800 versus the over 2 k it really was. I knew you were way short (as you were a my packers ) so it was no surprise. But you ought to give legit estimates and assign legit sized crews. We prob needed 8 movers. Now to the movers. Nice kids but way inexperienced. All day they told us we’d only use 2 and a quarter of 3 pods. Then at the very end we were told they couldn’t get everything in. We had to panic junk or give away many items since we were moving the next day including a $5000 Oriental rug and excercise bike and a thousand dollar mirror which the movers missed even though I told them about it and left it on the wall, a fountain, outdoor tables , pottery and many other items Many of the left items were dear to us and if they made a correct initial assessment I may have been able to get another pod. The crew fatigued at the end and just left w the job incomplete. And during the day they were sweating and sitting on our furniture and left cold drinks on our chairs and tables leaving water marks. Again they were nice kids but not up to the job and clearly Inexperienced. But your company is most to blame w your bogus estimates and clearly no screening of the companies you use as movers. Obviously I will never use you again and will relate this to pods.

Mover's response:
this guy is so full of it, his eyes are brown!
first hireahelper told you it was going to take longer than 4 hours to load a 5000 sgft home ,it says in special note to be advised the the job will take longer.
second its not our fault you didn't have enough pods to fit all your stuff
and 3rd who in the world pays 1000 dollars for a mirror i could have bought at Walmart for 29.99
its funny when someone tries to cut corners to save money ,they blame everything on everyone else but not themselves
i guess its true ,you cant make everyone happy , i have hundreds of 5 star reviews that proves this is one is a foolish review

The 2 guys from A-1 movers were great! They showed up on time and made very quick work emptying the Pod I had reserved. They worked non-stop for about 2 hours and put everything where I wanted them to quickly and efficiently. I couldn't believe how fast they were. They were friendly and nice to work with. I highly recommend them if you need no-nonsense, strong, and courteous movers!

A-1 Movers were exceptional! Paul and Antonio were not only polite and professional, but super friendly, and they worked harder than any other movers I’ve used over the years. They were very careful with my belongings, and explained everything they were doing as they went along. I highly recommend them!
