I had issues with being able to get my POD dropped off in front of the house. I called Helpful Movers and they were willing to load all of my belongings into a Uhaul I rented, and then load into the POD. It was double the work, but they did not complain once and were so efficient. Couldn’t recommend this crew enough! They were amazing and really saved my wife in I before a big cross country move.

These incompetents completely destroyed thousands of dollars of our new furniture. They won't respond to emails or phone calls and obviously have no intent on replying back. They loaded our truck terrible, dropped boxes on loading breaking dishes, dragged a dresser and broke the leg off on loading, didn't wrap anything even though blankets, shrink wrap, tape bubble wrap were all provided. They then loaded the truck terrible, when we arrived to our destination our leather love seat was ruined, leather sofa had a puncture hole, broke our filing cabinet, ruined the top of our buffet, ruined three our of four bar stools, ruined a bookcase, and a Yamaha Piano got damaged. There was more things damaged but these were the most costly.Almost all of this furniture was only one year old. DO NOT use these people if you want to have your things intact. we have filed a complaint with the BBB and are doubtful they will respond!!

They went above and beyond what I was expecting. They came with plastic wrap and wrapped all soft items, and where able to origami everything into the pod without issue. Would recommend them any day.
