Iowa Moving 1 provided 3 movers to load a 26’ truck. The three young men, Blake, Grant and (sorry forgot his name); could have been more polite or worked harder. I waited until we unpacked to provide this review as I had some concern about how things would be on arrival. Not because of the way they packed but with 20 hours of some very rough interstate driving we felt it likely that some of the older pieces might have been damaged. Everything came through with flying colors!

Mover's response:
Thank you for hiring us to load your rental truck and we are so happy to hear that you were extremely satisfied with our service in regards to work ethic, skill and politeness of the crew. We look forward to doing future moves for you when the need arises. Thank you.

Communication and coordination with the central office was excellent and I thoroughly appreciated their attentiveness and punctuality--the actual crew who provided services at our home on the other hand were not as exceptional.

To be fair, I think they must've been rather new to loading trucks because it took them significantly longer to load the truck than I anticipated it would (and I have a great deal of experience moving from one location to another), and they were unable to fit all of our property into a single 26' moving truck because they stacked our belongings no more than 2/3 of the vertical space of the truck.

Moreover, upon our arrival at our destination, we discovered that several pieces of furniture were broken and our appliances were scratched and dented (more than typical for a long distance move). Additionally, the crew members were not very attentive when we discussed what items needed to go on the truck and what items did not--and rather than owning their error and apologizing, they would simply lie to make themselves look better.

In the end, we ended up having to pay for an additional 1.5 hours of labor for the guys to load our truck, and we had to leave an additional 12' trailer of our belongings with friends because the movers did not load the 26' truck properly.

Mover's response:
We are sorry to hear that the performance of our crew was not up to your satisfaction. Having reviewed our load pictures, it appears that the crew stacked the truck to our normal standards, and furniture pads, as well as ratchet straps were used. We would like to remind you that we do not cover damages that occurred in transit as stated in our policy. As far as not stacking all the way to the ceiling, most of the load pictures do appear to go pretty close to the ceiling. In areas that it does not, certain items have different weight restrictions than other items, and excess weight can cause even more significant damage. We are sorry that not everything fit in the truck, and for any additional stress this may have caused you. Our company will also work with our crew to improve their communication skills going forward, to avoid adding more stress and confusion to your move day.

I couldn’t ask for a better crew. These two were completely professional, very hard working, efficient, careful and courteous. They went above and beyond my expectations. I would hire them anytime I had a job needed done.

Mover's response:
Thank you for the thoughtful comments on our crew members and that they went above and beyond your expectations. It was our pleasure to provide the unloading service for you. Take care.

Exceptional workers. Efficient, quiet, and careful. We were amazed at how much they could pack in a POD. They were so careful moving and wrapping our furniture. They listened to our requests to be cautious about some antique pieces. It took them less than 3 hours to load a POD, and the temperature was bitter cold.

Mover's response:
Thank you for the excellent feedback on our crew. We are happy that we could help in loading your portable storage container. We look forward to assisting you again in the future.

The guys were wonderful. Showed up on time, packed my belongings very efficiently and neatly. I would highly recommend.

The only complaint I might have is with HireAHelper pricing. It was less than 2 hours, I was charged for 3 with no option for refund of the third hour.

Mover's response:
Thank you for your review. We are excited to hear that you found our crew wonderful, timely and efficient. Your high recommendation means a lot to us.

They arrived within the timeframe, worked hard from the moment they arrived until the last thing was loaded. They not only finished in less time than I expected, but they were able to fit everything in the POD, which I wasn’t sure was possible! I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone!

Mover's response:
Thank you very much. Great to hear that the loading crew worked hard for you and loaded expertly. Your high recommendation means a lot to us.
