Southern Cross Moving turned out to be a real disappointment. Ours should have been an easy move out of one 16 foot POD, but quickly became a source of aggravation and increased anxiety because of this moving companies actions. The two movers arrived over 2 hours late from their scheduled time and, once there, displayed no sense of urgency, apology or concern for the inconvenience. In addition, the workers forgot assembly tools to put together our dining room table and two beds, something that was specifically asked for in our original request for service. This resulted in calls going back and forth between the workers and their bosses but no solutions that involved the company or the workers. We ended up having to call a relative to drive over an hour to bring tools, increasing our anxiety and inconvenience even more.

Even though Southern Cross was more expensive per hour than some other movers and required a minimum 3 hours, we chose them because of their high rating and customer reviews. Clearly they did not live up to our expectations. After speaking at length with one of the owners about our negative experience, the only remedy he was willing to offer was a 15 per cent rebate because they were late.

By contrast, we were grateful for the response by Hire-a-Helper who upon learning of our difficulties provided an additional rebate before releasing the remaining funds to Southern Cross.

Mover's response:
You were keep up to date on their move before yours and their progress. The movers changed vehicles and forgot their tools for that I apologize. You were and hour and a half away from our shop so bringing tools out was really not an option.$50.00 dollar discount was enough to buy a couple of tools and put the beds together. Sorry the guys did not have a company card on them that day. So with their discount added you saved about $75.00 and still left a negative review? Wow you can't please everyone I guess.Our reviews and top rated placing states that we do the majority of the time.

The two workers were polite and accomplished the job but I cannot say I was impressed with their work. I had plastic stretch wrap that I offered for extra protection and to possibly make the job better. They declined to use it saying with the time factor they don't use it because it takes longer. This was disappointing when they finished the job in 1-1/2 hours and I was charged for the minimum three hours. I had chilled water bottles for them and when I gave them one I requested they be careful placing it on the furniture because the furniture was not protected. A short time later when one needed to set his water bottle down but could not reach, he tossed it to land on top of a wooden piece of furniture! It may be my paranoia, or the fact that by that time I was already displeased, but I saw them put a large piece of furniture in the POD then look at each other and laugh. When they saw me looking they stopped laughing. This might have been totally innocent, but it was bothersome at the time, and it makes me wonder what I will find when my furniture in unloaded. I was also caught off guard when they told me that I needed to disconnect the washer and dryer because they could not legally do it. I'm not sure who's responsibility it should be, but it would have been nice to have known that ahead of time. They did come with their own tools (which they placed on my unprotected dining room tabletop), but for some reason they asked if I had a wrench they could borrow to take apart the bed frames.
All-in-all, although they were pleasant enough, I might use your company again, but I would not want the same two workers.
I hesitated to write this review, but you emailed me twice to respond, so I am offering my honest opinion.

Mover's response:
We use tape instead of shrink wrap, quicker and cheaper.All jobs are 3 hour minimums, my guys joke with customers and don't mope around like they hate their jobs. That makes for a less stress move and most customers comment on their great attitudes. We are not plumbers nor electricians our insurance does not cover water damage or fire. I hope you use us again and sorry you did not like the guys that I sent you.

The three gentlemen did a great job helping to unload our truck and put our things together! They were also entertaining and funny to have around too! Highly recommend Southern Cross Moving!

Mover's response:
The three guys I sent to you that day work very well together as a team. Thank you for that awesome review.
