On time, efficient, and careful. We even finished early.

Dwight and Adam were a major help, couldn’t have done the job without them.

Really terrible experience. Disrespectful of our time and of our things. The two men clearly tried to draw out the job as long as possible and push us into a third hour for more money. At one point I was in my apartment while my partner stood by our truck and I didn’t see either mover for 30 min, I called down and she said she hadn’t seen them for about 20 she walked inside and they were just standing talking in the elevator bay. This happened twice.

When we did see them they would have one MAYBE two small bags of clothes, the “carts” they brought looked like skateboards and did nothing other than drop our things because they would stack them too high and then let them all fall. At one point a UPS guy stopped and asked if they needed help with how to stack the boxes it happened so many times. On one of these “cart trips” they dropped a box labeled clearly FRAGILE GLASSES all over every side. I said “oh those are glasses please be careful!” He put it back on top of the cart and dropped them AGAIN. Half of them broke.

They chipped our coffee table, scratched our arm chair and our TV console (all brand new furniture so I’m positive it was them.) I watched them drop clothes and step on them — I mean the list goes one. My partner and I ended up unloading at least half of the truck on to the sidewalk for them because 2.5 hours in we were not even halfway through the truck (we did it in 15 min MAX). To top it all off, one of the movers demanded I venmo him for the last hour rather than use the service online and was extremely patronizing. Of course these were two men inside my apartment, one trying to intimidate me and my partner (also a woman — maybe this was the problem? We were just easy targets for them to mess with?) so we paid them the extra hour directly.

I’ll never use this service or HireAHelper again and I can only believe the reviews this place has are fake or paid for because these men had no training, tools or experience. Do NOT use them especially if you’re a woman!! Horrible horrible time.

Best and most efficient crew I’ve ever used. The guys were quick, safe & a pleasure to be around as well. Highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for movers!

Dwight and Anthony were awesome- quick, down to earth, friendly, and great strategic packers of our truck. 11/10 stars for sure :) Thanks for making the end of a big love out of the city a whole lot easier!

I am extremely pleased with the young men that came and loaded the pod. They were delayed a couple of hours by no fault of their own and they called several times to keep me updated and were very apologetic for the delay. They were so pleasant and respectful to everyone here and I am so glad that I hired them to help me with this transition.

Outstanding job, couldn't have gone more smoothly. On Time made the move easy and took the pressure off me. Highly recommended!

My first time moving, and was surprised on the efficiency, and collaboration shown by movers Seth and Mohammed, who showed professionalism and care on objects been moved, and not flinching at all when we had forgotten to mention another piece also going into the pod. Hope everyone that hires On-Time Movers receives the same courtesy and professionalism that we did.
