The crew of 3 from Helpful Movers arrived on time. We had 24 furniture blankets, plastic wrap, and 2 dollies on hand. They worked hard yet broke 2 pieces of our furniture. One was an antique. We had identified the piece as an antique and it was already wrapped it with double blanket and plastic wrap. The mover was witnessed by my husband trying to reach something behind the cabinet which was on the truck. He jumped using his elbow as a fulcrum therefore having his full body weight on the top of the cabinet. At that point his elbow broke through the top. The mover said he just leaned his elbow on it gently. That is untrue. They also broke another piece. They declined to use either of the 2 furniture dollies we had nor would they wrap the pieces before carrying them to the truck. I called Mr. Aker that day before the crew left to report the damage. And 2 subsequent times. He is responsible for the crew and will not return my call. I would not use them again.

They used my bathroom when they arrived and asked for bottled water. I provided moving blankets and bubble wrap and they proceeded to tape up my buffet without protection. I had them remove if immediately and remained them everything needs to he wrapped. They did a poor job of packing the pod and they cramned my air purifier on the floor. It had gouges in it and I wrapped it myself. My neighbor and I had to reorganize the container to better utilize the space and fit more items. They complained the whole time about just having to go to another job after mine. They also complained about the work and kept remarking on the time.

They arrived early and finished in the time I expected. They were friendly and asked questions when they needed to. Highly recommend.

Garrett and Brandon were awesome, they were able to do the impossible. Will definitely use hire a helper for our next move!

Let me preface this by saying they did start an hour after the end of the arrival window I was provided and it took some effort to get a hold of them when the arrival window had passed. This was stressful during an already rocky move.
That said - once they arrived, the two guys that came literally didn't stop moving until the job was done, fit more than I expected in the POD, and were pleasant (and careful with my belongings). Because they were running late, they worked through lunch and it sounded like their first job was a little rough (hence the delay). Anyways - despite the timing hiccup, these guys are great (and fast) at what they do. I'm pleased with their work and would use them again.
