I couldn’t be happier with Pink Zebra Moving! Nick and Travis were awesome—really friendly, professional, and they took great care of all my stuff. They made the whole move a breeze (really, it was so eazy I had to look for something for myself to do while they're working). Scheduling with Matt was also super easy—he made everything simple and clear over the phone. If you need movers who are reliable and easy to work with, definitely give them a go!! Plus, they also gave us a bag of nice small gifts at the end with a handwritten card!

They did come 1/2 hour late but were all business when they arrived. They did let me know they were running late. I showed them the rooms for the furniture to be moved to. I told them were the pieces went and they carefully moved it there so my wife then told them were to place the pieces. We completed the move with 5 minutes to spare. I plan to use them when the next move of items needs to be done. They really saved my wife and myself a lot of back pain. Well worth the money.

The crew was very respectful and ready to work as soon as they got there. They were impressed on how well all pieces were wrapped by ME and took pictures because of this. I have no objection to their work or manners. It's just a shame that all businesses are charging these prices for such a short distance move and no stairs. I did quite a bit of work and all boxes were already at the storage unit on the property.

Wow, Frank and his crew came through in a big way! My Buddy team showed at their designated time, even phoned ahead to notify of their ETA. Upon arrival, Frank goes into action, assessing the unloading of the truck and move into an apt. Once that was complete, he organized his team and they got to work. They handled every item in the truck and up the 3 flights with respect and without hesitation. This was the last move of the day for them. Yet they showed up enthusiastic and executed an efficient and professional move. I recommend and would utilize the My Buddy team again.
