Vlad and Akay from A2B Movers were fabulous! They were on time, organized, careful, efficient, and dealt easily with a rolling rack whose wheel broke off. I would use them again in a heartbeat!

They did a great job loading my PODS unit. I had a LOT of stuff and originally we didnt think it would all fit and they packed it full like a puzzle piece by piece and got almost everything to fit (we were able to add a handful of things the next day to get more in). They were on time (maybe a couple min past), worked hard, were nice and respectful. I would use again.

They were on time, courteous, worked hard. The pod looked to be packed perfectly, but I’ll have to wait till I get to my destination and unload it, which won’t be for 4 to 6 months.

Great communication and the team worked super hard and finished early! Overall, it was a good experience. The team had a bit less experience with packing, e.g. using dish packs, glass packs, bubble wrap sheets, etc. than I'd expected and a few walls/pieces of furniture got dinged in the process but they were accommodating and responsive... overall, I'd definitely hire them again.

These movers did a great job helping me move out of a storage unit. They were friendly, efficient, worked hard, and gave me good advice as to the best way to load the storage pod my items were moved into. I recommend them very highly and will use them again the next time I need moving assistance.

They were late by 3 hrs. They would have brought 2 Dollies instead of 1, which would have increased the productivity. There were couple of mistakes while assembling the bed, which added 30 mins to the total time. Overall they did a good job
