My helpers were on time, but only 2 of the 4 scheduled workers were there due to injury, and they asked me to cancel my appointment through HireAHelper and pay them in cash because their boss had been arrested the night before and they didn’t know when they would get paid. The two still unloaded our items from the PODs when I refused, but they had not properly secured the drawers and used enough of the provided blankets and wrap to protect other pieces of furniture when they had loaded them at our previous house. This resulted in a hole in the wall of our stairwell when one of the drawers opened into the wall as they carried it upstairs and the top of our chest freezer being noticeably scratched and discolored. We ended up helping them unload to get it done in time, as they were clearly struggling with some of the larger pieces with just two people. I would not be willing to use them again.

Guys did a great job at a not so easy task. Were able to improvise to get my elliptical down to my home gym regardless of difficulty in room to maneuver and get it through doors and down stairs.
Joyce J
Great service! I was amazed how they were able to pack everything into the POD in such an orderly manner! Didn’t think many items were going to fit! Very nice & personable guys! Would definitely hire them again! Job well done!
Howard B
Arrived on time. Very friendly. Took direction well. Worked hard and fast. I would definitely use them again.
Scott M
Randy and Manny were very professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and careful with our belongings. They arrived at the exact time they said they would be there and completed loading the POD very quickly--in less time than estimated. We would highly recommend them. Scott and Paula M., Monroe, OH

Confirmed move for 10 AM - Company changed time the night before two 11 saying they needed an extra 30 minutes due to a previous job in travel Time. Heavily inconvenient but I approved.
11 AM no call no show. 12 PM no call no show. 1230 I get a message and a text saying they ran over. I have to ask them to call Me. The owner is frustrated and I have to be the one to find out in a calmer voice if I’m having movers today. He said he can personally drive but it will take him an hour. I am pressed upon him the importance of having professional movers that I was paying for not to send me random people. He begged me not to cancel so he would not lose his business.
At this point they were supposed to help get the heaviest 4 items into my pod first so I could then load the rest of my house - I’ve been at a standstill since 11 AM.
They show up at 2:50, no uniforms, with a female companion sitting in the car. The owner clearly has moved before and understands A process and how to carry items. His helper friend was worthless. The main reason I was overpaying for $10/hr help was the experience factor and professionalism. The helper friend had to be coached on every aspect of moving to the point I took over and was carrying his position several times. He complained almost the whole time.
They took breaks?!?!? At least 2-3. In two hours under a huge time crunch I should not of had because I padded severely. My friend and I did not take a break while they were there.
The buyers of my home were scheduled to see it at 5 PM and because they showed up so late it means I could not utilize them for an hour at most that put us behind or just an additional $50. It might’ve been an additional hour at most. So I paid $400 for two hours - had to hire another day on my trailer and additional help the next day to get my items out before my house closed.
I was not offered a discount.
They did not offer to stay to make sure the house was completed.
They were very concerned that I would approve and release their money.
While I was releasing their money they were talking about “real jobs” where they have to wear uniforms and do it more professional. They were very anxious to help me unpack and wanted to know where I was moving - no dice.
I’m not even sure what my remedy is because I was held hostage because the items I need to move required four people. I’m out and additional $300 this morning because they were late. I am beyond frustrated and disappointed at this company and website.

Harold (and crew) were on time, motivated, and professional. Even made it a point you use his own body parts (arm) to prevent any damage to my walls.
This was a last minute booking and he made sure to call and text me to confirm that my request would be fulfilled. Didn’t let me wonder. Thank you.
Tough times don’t last. Tough people do. Focus on the positives. My best wishes and good luck.
