Hi, l I have to say they were the best movers that I’ve ever used and I’m in my 70s so that means a lot and you couldn’t find a better couple of people who cared about your situation. Moving is always difficult but they made it really pleasant and nice. Great people recommend 100%.

Mover's response:
We are so happy to hear that you had such a wonderful experience.

The guys did a great job, but they were not the original men that were supposed to show up. They only worked for 45 minutes, and I had to pay for 2 hours. And 20 minutes after the two men left two more men showed up telling me they were here to unload my truck??? Not sure how this happened but a man named Tim called me quite upset because I turned his two guys away. Not sure how all of this took place, but I do not like doing business like this. People showed up thinking they were here to make money and did not. I would appreciate someone getting to the bottom of this mess.

Mover's response:
I think you are confusing names and companies here. My name is Tony, owner of A Move Ahead Movers. You hired us to unload a truck. I sent Tim and Tom. They unloaded the truck in 45 minutes, unfortunately we do have a 2 hour minimum and you did pay for 2 hours. They would have been happy to stay longer than 45 minutes but the work was done and you sent them on their way. As far as other movers showing up 20 minutes after our guys left, they were not affiliated with our company in any way. If someone named Tim called you upset about sending his movers away, I assure you that it's either a mistake in name or a coincidence that he had the same name as our guy Tim. You texted me not long after the job and seemed upset, stated that you don't know what happened and that you were not getting involved. This text was of course confusing to me because I had no prior knowledge of any mix up, which prompted me to call you. You were very defensive right away as I was trying to find out what the text was pertaining to and figure out if there was an issue. You seemed like you didn't want to deal with the situation and kept telling me that you were not getting involved and i wasnt able to get the jist of what had happened. We ended the call with me not really knowing for sure what your odd text to me was even about but from what i got of our correspondence left me assuming you had booked 2 different service providers for the same move. Being that my guys had already finished up and we had received payment, there were no issues on our end and figured I would leave it for you and the other service provider to work out. We were contracted to unload a truck and we came and did what we were contracted to do, we got paid, so we're good. I just wanted to clarify the situation and how it went down and just set the facts straight that Tim and Tom did your move as contracted and as far as a Tim calling you upset, that was not our Tim. We do sympathize with your situation and now understand the state you were in when we called to find out what the odd text we received from you was about. Now knowing that the other guys that ended up not doing the move called you beforehand, which had you upset, which is why you thought we were them calling back when infact it was me trying to make sense of the frantic text i received from you. Either way it's no big deal on our end, we have actually dealt with customers who have double booked movers on the site several times. We are sorry to hear that the other guys were so unprofessional though. We appreciate your business and wish things could have went more smoothly on your end.

Movers were great. They arrived on time, they worked very hard to unpack the pod and they were very respectful to my husband and me. I would certainly use them again.

We are A Move Ahead the rest and we move for LESS.

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.
