As good as moves get. They were on time, prepared, worked extra hard, were really careful, and I'd definitely use them again. They muscled multiple pieces up 2-3 floors (better than that, they had the right equipment to do this without hurting themselves), were super careful not to damage the walls/floors/furniture, wrapped everything well. Highly recommend A Move Ahead Movers.

Mover's response:
We are A Move Ahead the rest and we move for LESS!

They arrived within the arrival window and had what they needed to do the job, They were friendly, worked hard and very helpful. I won't use them again only because we're moving to another state.

Mover's response:
Thanks for the feedback.

Moving is extremely stressful. If you are looking for a way to make it less so, I would absolutely recommend working with A Move Ahead Movers. I had used PODS to transport my belongings from Jacksonville to Orlando because there was a 10 day gap between when I needed to be out of my house and when I could move into my new place. PODS was a nightmare to work with and on the day of my move-in, true to form they had not arrived on time. I spoke with Annessa from A MOVE AHEAD and explained my situation fearing that I would lose out on the deposit I had placed for unloading help. She explained that they did have other jobs they had committed to that day but just asked me to text her once my PODS had arrived, and assured me that they would work me in. PODS arrived hours past my delivery window, and was due to be picked up the next day. If I had to reschedule my pick up I would face financial penalties from PODS and my new HOA. True to her word, Annessa and Thomas were there that evening to get my PODS emptied despite the fact that it was late in the day. Annessa, Thomas, and Tony were all fantastic to work with - friendly, polite, professional, and efficient. I highly recommend them and will definitely be booking them to help when my second PODS finally arrives. In case you are wondering if I am just one of those people that gives effusive praise easily - I assure you that my PODS review is in direct contrast to this one. As I said - moving is stressful, painful, and expensive. Do yourself a favor and invest in a service with reliable professionals that know how to make the process go smoothly!

Mover's response:
Kay, I'm glad we were able to get the PODS unloaded for you. I will say that I've seen my fair share of late PODS over the years. We've waited on PODS that never showed on the clock and we've rescheduled and worked folks in and got them done same day. At the end of the day it comes down to variables such as communication between customer and movers and availability on our end, but at the end of the day the best thing you can do for yourself is to communicate! As soon as you know that there may be any issue with your PODS, let us know, that way we can let you know on our end whether or not we can accommodate a same day time change. If we can't, we may be able to reschedule for another day or hireahelper can find a possible replacement company. You did great by calling and letting us know. Give us a call if you ever need us again!

5 stars!! Moved to the area a year ago and previous movers were not that good so was very Leary about trying again... WOW... what a GREAT experience!!! This team knows how to professionally move!! It was hot... not one complaint, about anything. Worked hard, pleasant, personable, respectful, and knew how to pack a truck!! I am so thrilled about our positive experience. I will certainly use again!! GREAT JOB!!!!

Mover's response:
Everyone here goes above and beyond to give 100% to every customer every time. Make sure you do your homework on these review boards. You won't find another provider with the type of feedback that we receive. Other providers may have 5 star reviews, but ask yourself, do they bring the level of quality that can be expected from A Move Ahead Movers? We are hands down the best bang for your buck!

They were on time, fast and thorough to wrap the items, and place them on the truck in a neat manner. The items were tied and secured on the truck. I would strongly recommend them.

Mover's response:
That's what we do, Christine. Thanks for the review!

These guys are wonderful, they are hard working and willing to move furniture to the place you want it, even if you change your mind several times. They were on time and confirmed the day before the scheduled move and called prior to arrival to give us their ETA. Highly recommend them if you are planning a move.

Mover's response:
Thanks, for the great review. We work very hard on communication. We always call to confirm and like to call in route as well just so that you are aware that we are in fact in route and that we will soon be getting everything completed for you. We believe peace of mind goes a long way when dealing with movers and strive to provide it while doing business with us.

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.
