They left two items in the pod and a white plastic box full of personal papers were left on the table in the first floor vestibule that they didn’t bring up or remind me of when i left it on the table to help keep open the elevator door for one of the movers. It also took them an extra hour to move the items from the truck, but I understand they were taking the elevator up to my third floor apartment each time they were unloading boxes. I placed a call to the office about my box of personal papers that is missing and never brought up to jog their memory about it but have not yet received a return call.

Two young men showed up who thought they were unloading a small UHaul Trailer. It was pouring down rain and they off loaded cardboard boxes into the street and puddles instead of bringing them into the house. They tried to cancel the job and say they would come back another time, although they were booked solid the next day. We were very clear with the company on the type of trailer, the size of the trailer and asked how many people we would need and for how long. We were reassured that 2 men for 2 - 2.5 hours was plenty. It was obviously wrong. When trying to get more time or more people (we called in a week earlier requesting an additional 3rd person) we were told that they would send someone when another job was done, however, they didnt know when that would be. They would only let the 2 guys here stay an additional hour. They refused to find any additional help and when pressed about sending those additional person(s) they admitted that the end of their working day would prohibit them from coming. We felt completely unimportant and more of a burden than a customer. We contacted Moving.com and hired 2 additional workers for the next morning at a cheaper price and were amazingly impressed at their help. Night and day for sure. With incidents on both ends, both Hire a Helper's lack of proper communication to the contracted company and then the companies lack of attention and importance to us as a customer, we will not recommend Hire A Helper nor will we EVER use Hire a Helper again.
