Ty and Eugene were so professional. They worked hard to get all my belongings moved into my POD. They showed up on time and worked great as a team. They had a 'can do' attitude when there was furniture that was difficult to get down my stairs and were able to get it out the window. I would definitely use them again for my moving needs.

Mover's response:
Thank you for your review Sarah. We appreciate you booking with Vyking Moving Co.

Would definitely recommend Vyking Moving - and specifically Ty, who was our contact. We needed help loading boxes and furniture into a storage unit under pretty short notice (just a few business days). From start to finish, everyone was really professional and helpful and communication was excellent. Ty and the crew arrived on time, got the job done quicker than estimated, and followed up with me by phone. The pricing model for Vyking was also really flexible for time not used or if we would have needed extra time . I was really happy with the customer service model and specifically with the work Ty and his crew did. Thanks for making our day easier!

Mover's response:
You're welcome Shana, we always aim to leave you happy with our moving skill while leaving you with a happy wallet.

Horrible service! They called and informed us that they are coming on time in the 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM window in the order and just before the arrival time called to say they can't come. They then stopped answering our calls.

We then had to scramble and call you to find the next service provider. The window for this provider was 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. We had to extend the reservation for the freight elevator in the apartment building to this slot. But the next service provider arrived at 2:05 PM. Because we were in touch with them about their arrival, we knew they weren't getting there till close to 2:00 PM and therefore moved most of the stuff ourselves. They only had to move a bed frame, a mattress and a dresser into the U-Haul truck and the whole thing took about 20 Minutes and they left by about 2:30 PM.

The fact that Hire A Helper is still charging me the full $199 including a service charge of $29 is just beyond the pale for me! It works out to an hourly rate of $400!!

These guys gave me more than I expected...They showed up not to get paid but to work and would not allow me to do anything. And, my job was completed in under two hours.
I can't thank them enough for showing up ready to work and completing my move.
Thank you guys...I highly recommend this team.

Mover's response:
Thanks, Rhonda. It is our job to do the heavy lifting, and thanks for the recommendation.

Tyrek and his 2 helpers did an amazing job for us. They unloaded our pod (split it between a truck and storage), and then took the truckload to our apartment and unpacked and delivered it to us.
The guys were very considerate and packed and unpacked everything with total skill.
I recommend them for any move.

Mover's response:
Thank you Judi, you laid out a perfect plan for us and we executed it with flawless results. Big muscles were used to get the job done that day.

This team did an outstanding job today packing our items in the POD. Ty runs his business like a pro with phone calls, was on time, and is training his team to lead others. They worked non stop and packed our 16' POD moving our furniture with great care and used the space efficiently.
They did a great job and they were very professional and friendly and fun as well which helped ease some of the stress of moving. Ty and his team will definitely be hired again for the next part of our move!

Mover's response:
Thank you for your kind words Lisa. Incognito Jason and the team are glad that we made the first part of your move easier.

This was for unloading at same location after pod storage. The same crew wasn’t available to unload and it made me uneasy. They weren’t sure how furniture went back together, my Oak bed rails warped in the hot pod. Not their fault but my bed was ruined. The HireAHelper insurance didn’t cover furniture damage in the pod, so I have an expensive Bassett bed that I need to replace with metal rails. The crew was hammering screws into furniture. I stopped them. No power tools. Misplaced hardware. It was an okay experience. The first crew for the initial move was great. I’m sure the second move would’ve been fine if it was the same crew who packed.

Mover's response:
Thank you Polly for your review. It was alot of stipulations that led to me (Ty) not coming back to personally handle your pod unload. I do apologize how things proceeded in my absence, and I hope this recent move didn't deter you from using our services again or referring us to others.

The movers were super professional! I received a call confirming my appointment a few days before and 20 minutes before their arrival. They brought 3 movers even though I paid for 2. They arrived prepared with moving tools. They were very careful with my furniture while loading and unloading. I asked them to be careful with the walls as the paint is very light and they were extra careful. Very professional movers! Would highly recommend!

Mover's response:
Thanks, Belle. We appreciate the recommendation.
