The 2 guys from Helpful movers did a very poor job loading the stuff into the pod. They didn't wrap up the furniture before loading and my stuff got damaged during the move.. My expensive leather couch got damaged at one place. The glass curio was horribly loaded...no wrap no at all. They didn't even take out the glass shelves inside and wrap the glass doors leaving them hanging as is. The curio got scratches. My dining chair legs were scratched as well... wasn't wrapped. The study table's bottom was damaged as well. Horrible movers. I will never recommend them ever. Very poor job!

Mover's response:
Jyoti,
We don't often respond to reviews as most can see. After giving careful thoughts to your review of our services, I felt it would be a disservice to others if a response wasn't given. We all know that some mistakes or damages that despite our Movers best efforts do happen. I would like to point out that your items were shrinkwrapped but when you as the customer doesn't provide moving blankets to offer as a buffer to prevent rubbing also which you were warned by HireAHelper to provide then rubbing can and does often happen and this causes damage! All of our crews come with shrink-wrap to every single job at no cost to you as the customer and we also at no cost to you provide rope for tie-downs in your pod. But these parts of our service can only help protect your items so much which is why you should have had blankets. I would highly recommend the next time you move to get these to protect your items. I apologize for damages that occurred and hopefully next time it goes better for you!

Shane and Jared are the crew to hire! They were on time, super careful and clearly have packing down through a series of moves everyone needs.
Thanks for your help.

A Tale of Two Helpers
Hire a Helper sent two people. One (Justin) arrived on time, was great and had a clue. The other arrived late, carried one thing at a time and gave up easily on furniture set up. Both left on time.

Luis and his brother were on time and completed the loading in one hour! They worked quickly and got everything into the pod. They were very respectful and friendly. I would definitely use them again and recommend them highly.

We ordered two movers for two hours and they were seriously awesome! Both of them were so friendly and worked very hard the entire time. They also finished before the deadline and were extremely careful with all our furniture. I would definitely recommend these guys and will be using them again in the future!
