A Move Ahead Movers were friendly, courteous and professional. They were prepared for the job and I felt they were respectful of my property. They completed the job in less time than was required. I am using them again to unload my items in a few days.
I definitely recommend them.

To begin with, on the day of our appointment, no one sent a text, called or sent an email to confirm our appointment. I'd spoken to the owner a few days earlier and he said "he" will be attending our job. He didn't.
Instead, two young men showed up about 20 minutes early (without a phone call or text.) We introduced ourselves, they were pleasant. We had one single POD to unload, I showed the men around the house, explained the furniture they were bringing in was fragile/"glass" and asked they be careful. (In my opinion, they should have worked together to bring the items in safely. Instead, next thing, I saw one of the guys coming through the front door with a fully mirrored glass dresser (front, top & sides) flipped "upside down" (mirror top laying against metal dolly). I was NOT happy. It was CLEARLY marked "GLASS", was wrapped in rugs and shrink wrap, in NO way could take being handled the way he flipped it onto his dolly and onto the floor. I still haven't unwrapped it for fear of finding it cracked (we've moved it in the past with no issues all the way from Michigan to Florida and then three additional moves, never having an issue).
When the two did work together, they were clumsy and nowhere near careful, slamming the leg of a large wing back chair onto the cement before entering the house. One of the guys was a better worker than the other, He continued working while the other one went down the street to smoke a cigarette (even though the entire job took an hour and a half).
Another incident was the two of them bringing in a mirrored nightstand. They were rushing so fast the nightstand flew off the dolly and almost crashed into the cement, fortunately, my husband was close by and helped save it. We have 3 more PODS to be delivered and unloaded, I don't feel comfortable with this firm to handle the job.
We used a similar company in Bonita Springs, Florida who was exceptional. Unfortunately, this one was not a good experience.
Danette P
Very courteous, accommodating and worked very hard. Thank you!
John S
The 2 person crew that worked finishing unloading our POD were very professional, courteous, and efficient. Even though they were more than an hour late, and there was little left for them to do, they were very apologetic, and their company refunded me a portion of my payment.

Upon moving day you will receive a call from your movers within an hour of your booked arrival window.

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.

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.
