I am beyond impressed with the helpers Tony & Cody. They got me completely packed in the 2 hours. I highly recommend them. Professional and courteous. Thank you both for making this move to smooth.

Your two loaders left two chairs there is enough room left on the pod so they need to be on the load before it leaves in the morning.

Mover's response:
Unfortunately, when the movers did a walk through with you at the end of the move, you signed off and said there was nothing left to load and released the payment. If you had called the movers right after they left they would have turned around and loaded the items for you. Unfortunately you called over an hour later and the movers had already left the area (based in Ocala not Orlando) While we do sympathize with your situation our hands were tired after the crew left the area as they could not turn around and load the items you forgot to mention based on the fact that they had another job to make it to over an hour away.

A Move Ahead Movers were excellent. They were extremely flexible in the aftermath of a major hurricane and provided the best help I could ask for. I strongly suggest you employ them if needed.

It does not allow a 3.5 star so I go with 4. The only reason for 3.5 stars versus 5 was that their timely communications with customer was simply piss poor. In addition, they claim a dresser was found broke inside the POD when I saw it as they rolled it into the unit. I believe their manueving method was why it broke. If it was broken in the POD, I think they would have quickly told me first, right?

Mover's response:
First of all, it was damaged during transport and due to unprofessional loading techniques, those things are out of our hands as we did NOT load the container, nor did anyone from our company. We were the unloaders. The fact that the item in question is poorly made particle board furniture also played a huge roll in the damage as this type of furniture is not meant to be moved as one assembled unit. You didn't feel the need to buy quality furniture nor did you feel the need to purchase proper materials to protect said furniture (no moving blankets covering items), yet, felt the need to blame your poor choices on us and insinuate that we somehow damaged your items due to poor maneuvering. That is just not true. We expertly maneuvered every item into the home and at no time did we ever make contact with a wall, floor or door frame.
Piss poor communication? I'm sorry that you felt the need to call me several times after we had already confirmed. I can't speak on the phone much during the day (on moves) and relayed that to you via text as you continued to call my phone back to back. I'm not sure what else you wanted or needed to hear besides the fact that we will be there at the agreed upon date/time. Ours reviews are posted publicly and folks know what to expect from us...it's reflected in our ratings. 1st in Central Florida 4th Nationwide out of 3500+ service providers.

The two gentlemen that came (need to apologize don't remember their names)were courteous, respectfully, professional, careful and showed genuine regards for our personal property. Always asking questions as to where anything goes that they did not know. They worked well as a team, never slacking off, from start to end. If all your employees work as expedious and professional as they did, do not think your company is ever going to get a negative review.

They communicated their time for arrival and work hard to finish in allotted time

These men were the best! They communicated their time of arrival, got here on time, and were very pleasant and hard-working. They unloaded 2 fully-loaded U-Pack cubes in the 2-hour time frame. They didn't stop! They re-assembled a couple pieces of furniture, too. I would highly recommend this company for your next move!

The guys worked their butts off and packed a very tight POD. Unfortunately there was some stuff that was damaged. maybe because we didn't have enough blankets or something else. It was a little disappointing. They did get the work done quickly and they didnt dilly dally. They do work hard.

Mover's response:
We do more than just work hard. We are ranked 1st in ALL of Central Florida and 4th NATIONWIDE. That is 4th out of 3500+ service providers. The damage you received, while disappointing, is directly related to the fact that you did not provide the proper materials for your move. This is after you were given a detailed list of needed supplies based on the size of your move-just as we do for every customer. Infact you told us that you didn't think that those supplies were necessary. I'm highly surprised you would take a shot at us with this review after that. Being the 1st review less than 5 stars in quite sometime it is a bit upsetting but we will continue to be the best this platform has to offer. FUTURE CUSTOMERS: please go through the list of needed supplies and get everything we ask for in advance..you won't be disappointed like Charles here.

Get To Know Us

What can a customer expect after booking with you?

After booking with us you can expect a phone call from our offices just to reach out and get a feel for your unique situation. We will go over all needed supplies and firm up all the details.

What can a customer expect on moving day if they hire you?

Upon moving day you will receive a call from your movers within an hour of your booked arrival window. The movers will reach out just to make sure everything is still going according to plan and will give you their expected GPS arrival time. We know that nothing is more stressful than being nervous that the movers aren't gonna show up, so we like to put your mind at ease.

How should a customer prepare for moving day?

If you will be hiring us to load your rental truck, trailer or portable shipping container it is imperative that you provide an adequate amount of moving blankets, plastic stretch wrap and rope to avoid serious damage to your items. The blankets can usually be rented with your truck or portable shipping container and are worth every penny. We can provide rope and plastic wrap for an additional fee or it can be purchased at Lowe's or Home Depot in the moving supplies section.

What types of moves have you handled?

We have handled literally every type of move from local to long distance, from household to office/commercial. We have handled everything from medical equipment to flight simulators and we are equipped to move large items such as pianos and grand pianos.

What's your favorite part about being a mover?

Our favorite part about being movers is that we get to help someone with literally the hardest and most stressful task of their adult life.

What training do you provide your crew members?

All of our crew leaders are required to have a minimum of 4 years professional moving experience and upon hire, undergo at least 2 weeks of training with the owner of the company (a very particular veteran mover in the industry) before being set free to operate independently. All crew members undergo the same training and we typically only hire crew members who possess at least 2 years minimum professional moving experience. We don't send rookies, period.
