They arrived over an hour late due to the need to finish two other jobs before mine. They did call to let me know. They had trouble understanding what room I wanted the various things to be put in and that has caused some challenges. And when they put the boxes down, they put Them on the counters instead of the floor and in front of the cabinets where I was going to store these things so I had to move everything out of the way in order to unload the boxes. They were very nice and professional.

Fit Movers is great. Highly recommend them if you are moving. I had to change the move date at the last minute, and it was a breeze! The crew, Anthony and Tony, showed up on time, were extremely efficient, and put everything where I asked them to, very polite and helpful. I would use them again and am recommending them to all my friends and coworkers!

Anthony and Camron were so amazing with unloading our truck. Our furniture was well taken care of and placed in every room. We appreciate their friendly personalities, kindness and hard work. We will be requesting them in September for additional move. Thank you Anthony and Camron.
