| - In 2012 my husband and I moved to the valley from out of state, the two of us unloaded the UHaul into an upstairs apartment. It had been 15 years since I had moved without hiring movers. Ugh.
Fast forward to July 2014, we planned to move across town. If there's one thing I've learned about Vegas in two years, there's a whole lotta Scammers, better hope you find "Legit." I found Moving Buddies on Yelp. I left a voicemail and received a text message back acknowledging my VM, "Will call you later we are 'really busy.'" I admit, the text message threw me for a loop, I questioned how "legit" could this be? A text, not a call? But hey, even my dentist texts me to remind me of upcoming appts. Andrew called me later that evening as promised, gave me the details: I rent the truck, he supplies the man power and hand trucks. He asked the typical questions, how many bedrooms, upstairs or downstairs, etc. He told me he would have a three man crew and take a total of three hours (Load the truck and unload at our new home) and quoted an hourly rate for the three men. Once I secured the truck rental, I texted Andrew back, said we were on, and he acknowledge with a text.
I had the guys reserved for 8:00 AM. One guy arrived promptly at 8:00 and asked if Andrew had arrived. When I said, "no," he was surprised. My phone hadn't rang all morning, but wait, let's check....Yes, I had a text, he said was running a little late. When Andrew arrived maybe 8:10, he said he couldn't drum up a third guy. Truth be told, I wasn't that nervous. Afterall, two people moved us into the apartment to begin with and as long as they were here to lift the heavy furniture on a 102 degree Vegas day, I'm good.
The guys loaded the truck like true experts. There's a photo here on Yelp showing the boxes loaded at the front of the truck...yep, that's how they do it. They were very efficient, had a plan of attack from the start, and moved at a steady pace until completely loaded. We drove the truck to our destination, they met up with us, and unloaded with the same level of efficiency. The only "breaks" taken were to take a quick sip of water.
When it was all said and done, the two guys from start to finish took a total of 3 hrs (the same amount of time Andrew estimated three guys to do the job). The most impressive part is he dropped the price by $20/hr. I ended up paying them the original quote (plus tip) as these two guys worked as if there were three, came in on schedule, were more than fair on price and made moving an easy task. Had I known about these guys in 2012 I definitely would have hired them.
Bottom line, there's no Scam here, Moving Buddies are Legit!
