They were on time and did a great job. A 16x8 POD took About 45 min to an hour unload. They put everything where I assigned it to go. They were very courteous and respectful of my
Things. I have another POD coming this week and they are loading that one too. I would highly recommend them.

Mover's response:
We appreciate the awesome feedback and look forward to helping with the other PODS.

Timmy and Tommy were absolutely amazing! They took my “mess” of a move and perfectly packed it into my 16 foot POD. They were professional, efficient, kind, courteous and caring. I would highly recommend them!

Mover's response:
Elke, wow, "professional, efficient, kind, courteous and caring," now you said a mouthful right there. Sounds just like Tom And Tim! We're glad our guys were able to take care of the move for you!

They cancelled due a problem at previous site. They rescheduled for next day and did a no show. They turn phone to voice-mail, but box is always full.

Unreliable company!!!

Mover's response:
This is Tony. I am the owner of A Move Ahead Movers. For over 10 years I have either been on or managed and over saw every job we have ever done on this platform. 2021 I was unable to preform my duties due to health and our team did the best that they could in my absence. The same standards were not being met and without being able to find proper replacement help the decision was made to shut down. Seeing these reviews truly pains me and I wish I could have been there for my customers. John I do wish that there was more I could have done than just refund your money.

Great work. Hustling the entire time.

(1) 6/26/2021 Lake Placid

Received a call early in the day (movers were due between 3-4) stating they would be late. I was assured they would be here and instead of the 2 people I had requested I would have 4 so that to make up for the time. I was ok with this and told them so. Received a text around 4 stating that the movers would be here around 530. Shortly after the text I received a call stating they were stuck in traffic and asked if they could reschedule for the morning. I told them no I could not wait until the morning as I am supposed to be on a plane in the morning. I flew in from Ohio to florida to move my 86 to grandmother to a nursing facility. She only has a few items but they are large. I started trying to reach out to the mover at 6 when I still hadn’t heard from or seen any movers yet. I reached out multiple times until 8. I reached out to hire a helper as well and they were unable to connect with anyone as well. At 8pm my order was officially canceled. I am now stuck as there is no one to help me load we have to be out of this house this weekend.

This particular day I was told we were down to one crew and they were trying to do the work of 2 crews. Unfortunately, this move sounds like it was severely mishandled. I would love to apologize for the situation and for the position it has put you folks in.

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.
