The movers arrived on time ready to work. They were fast and did a great job of packing delicate furniture. Because packing is much more difficult than unpacking, we were impressed by how tightly they packed the truck. However, and this is not the fault of the movers, they left before the job was finished to go to another gig. We had boxes and furniture in the alley when they departed. I guess we thought they would finish the job at a higher rate of pay. I don't think I'd use the company again.

There were a couple of issues but they were resolved quickly. The movers worked very hard, were respectful and I would definitely use them again.

On time show up and get the jobs done ! They even finished jobs in 2 hours ( 3 hour anticipated ), and Hireahelper.com gave me the credit for one hour on the same day they charged. Great experience and I would recommend every movers to use their service !

This was a long-distance move - so everything I own was in the container I rented from PODS. The container was somehow misplaced by PODS and delayed about a week. They promised several different "delivery dates" that came and went with no delivery of the container and lots of lame (and some untrue) excuses. Arrgghh. However, James was professional, patient and understanding, and as soon as the container arrived he scheduled his 2 workers to come and unload. He kept in touch with me throughout a very difficult and stressful situation. Corey and Matt were on time, ready to work and very respectful of my belongings and my new home. They worked efficiently to complete the job in less than 2 hours. Would definitely recommend Helpful Movers. In this high-stress situation, Helpful Movers was just that - very, very helpful. Thanks, James, Corey and Matt. Job well done.

Great crew. Focused on getting the pod unloaded. Unluckily only three of the four showed up. Good job and appreciated the flexibility for scheduling.
