My experience with Helpful Movers was really wonderful. They packed my things from a 2 storage untis to a POD in Seattle. When the POD reached Sante Fe, the POD driver opened the door and said that it was the best packing job he'd ever seen in a POD. And the movers who came to move my things into the house said the same thing. The movers worked hard and were incredibly efficient and cheerful. It was a perfect job.

They were on time and unloaded POD in 1.5 hours. Everything was placed where I asked.
Ron S
All four guys were great. They knew what they were doing and got the job done in two hours.

Very polite and hard working team! These gentlemen were polite and respectful and so very helpful. I would hire them again!
Greg G
The guys knocked out a 4th floor no elevator move in great time. I’d highly recommend!

Would have been 5 stars if not for the following two things:
1.) miscommunication with arrival time window. I had called them a week ahead to change the arrival time window to 1 hour earlier (8-9am) and received verbal confirmation as well as an update that I would receive email confirmation of the change. I never received the email and they did not have the change in the system on the day of moving - they ended up saying they were actually still coming from 9-10am.
2.) at 9am (already delayed by 1 hour from agreed upon time) I was notified that one of the movers called out sick and that their dispatcher had to be the stand in for a mover. This resulted in another 1 hour delay.
We were supposed to start moving at 8-9am, but we didn’t start until 10am. Our PODS arrived at 8:30am. We did city service which meant we only had a 4 hour window to load the PODS. I ended up moving a lot of things on my own out of the apartment due to concern the movers weren’t going to come given the 2 hour delay.
When they did arrive, I have no complaints with their work. They were fast, efficient, and took some extra time to make sure our things were secured in the PODS since we didn’t fill it completely. I also felt bad for the stand in mover who was supposed to be doing dispatch work—he was basically working two jobs at the same time. If you’re moving without time constraints and are okay with things not being on time, I would recommend but otherwise, I would suggest working with a different company.

Fast, efficient, personable, on time, and made every effort to complete the job in a timely fashion. This is just a few ways to describe the moving job done today. These guys worked exceptionally hard in a high of 98 degree temperature. The task was arduous but they went above and beyond to accomplish the job. We’d definitely hire these movers again!!! Thank you!!!

Hire A Helper was excellent. Communication was fantastic and the two movers were professional, polite and got the job done carefully and quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again!.
Matthew M
Arrived on time but didnt pack tight enough. Too much open space and ultimately had to repack back of truck to fit everything in
Marcia C
Faced with a daunting job, these two men knuckled down & did what was necessary to complete it as quickly as possible! We so appreciate all their hard work!
