Really great company, service, and communication. When I made an inquiry a representative called me within 15 minutes. I let him know I would be transporting a full gym and we both agreed on hiring 4 men for the job for 2 hours. The job was done efficiently, timely, and exceptionally. The 4 men transported all of my belongings into my POD shipping container exactly in the 2 hour time frame. I will remember this company and will use them for future moves. They are highly recommended.
All the Best,
Gene

They were on time, unloaded two full pods in two hours and moved everything into my cottage timely. They were very courteous and did a great job. I hope to never move again but if I had to I would surely use them. Highly recommended.

Using Hire A Helper was so EASY. Sourcing the moving company, scheduling, payments everything was so efficient and ALL on one site. I used Thunderhorse Moving, Jorge and his partner were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Jorge was incredibly organized efficient and careful with all our items. They took apart some furniture items to load and NOT ONE SCREW went missing. Jorge made my 60 mile move worry-free. I would recommend him and Thunderhorse over and over again!

Thunderhorse moving labor helped me relocate medical equipment from an office to a storage facility. The crew showed up on time, early even. They were knowledgeable, helpful, careful, and capable. Everything went smoothly. I would definitely hire them again.

4/25/2023 Update: The owner contacted me regarding the damage to the table. He offered to pay for part of the repair, and then paid me promptly, which I appreciated. I commend Jorge for honoring his word.
4/15/2023: Caution if you have valuable possessions! My heart was broken when I found my parents antique, heirloom, dining table broken and splintered upon arrival at my destination. The movers hadn’t removed the legs from the table, and then they stacked excessive weight on top of it which caused all the legs to snap off and split during transport. I’m so unhappy with them, they did not pack my things with care and I hired them because they were "professionals"! Also, at first they worked quickly but then really slowed down and dragged the job out an extra three hours!

Mover's response:
We were happy to settle an agreement; for your next move we recommend paying full value insurance for your items of extraordinary value.
Best wishes, Jorge A Salinas

Moving is always quite stressful and the last thing you need is moving company that doesn't deliver. Very thankful that wasn't the case with Thunderhorse. They were on time and arrived with a great can do attitude. The three movers were friendly and patient and having to try to fit a couch through three different doors didn't faze them. I recommend them without reservation.
