| - With an upcoming move I knew I had to hire a moving company so I went searching on Yelp and found Just-In Time Movers. I called and spoke with Justin the owner (what a cute play on his name, Justin, Just-In Time) and he was very nice and more than helpful. After telling him I found them on Yelp I got a 15% discount on their hourly rate, $72 an hour for 2 men. Other reviews speak about how pricey this is, but coming from Chicago, this is a deal!!
I had a bunch of moving blankets from my move here that I had been unable to sell, and Justin was more than helpful in letting me trade the blankets for boxes and tape. So far so good. When Justin came to deliver the boxes and pick up the blankets, I showed him around and what I had to move - he guesstimated about 4 hours plus the additional hour travel time. Now I know the hour travel time is usual and customary for any mover, but it really bugs me when moving companies do this especially since I was moving only one block away. (I was even charged this by another company when I hired them just to unload a truck at my residence when I moved to AZ) I was a little unsure about how long it would actually take, I had a feeling it would be longer than his estimate, but he assured me his guys would hustle and get the job done. We scheduled for this past Friday at 7am. I did need to call Justin with several questions before the move and he was more than patient and helpful. Thursday night he called and asked if they could make it at 8am instead of 7am and that was no problem, who doesn't need a little extra sleep before moving?
Friday morning comes and I get a call that they're running 15-30 min late and they showed up about 8:15am. The 2 guys (Cory and Mark?) were very nice and I showed them all I had to move. Justin was right, they sure did hustle and they really did work as fast as they could. They were even patient when I had a missing cat, to take care to keep an eye out so he didn't run out. These guys were not slackers, they busted their butts to keep things going. But I was right and the move itself took just under 6 hours with 2 guys, plus the additional travel time, came out a bit more than I had budgeted. They put everything where I wanted it, and even moved a few things around for me, I have no problem at all with the actual movers, they did their job and were nice and friendly! I did end up with a missing pull knob on one of my nightstands (I still haven't found it) but other than that, everything was moved with great care and not damaged. They did seem rushed at the end of the job, having another job to head to right after mine. I think if the job was estimated better, I should have had a 3 man team to move to stay within the time frame.
Not that it matters, but in the photos for this business I see under my review as I'm typing, they show a Just-In Time Moving Truck - my movers showed with a Budget Rental Truck.
Again the only reason for not 5 stars - the job not being estimated properly, a missing pull knob and the late start. Would I use them again? Yes for sure, but I would insist that my estimate of time and men would be more accurate. If I could rate in increments, they were better than 3 stars, not quite a 4 star, but for patience and attitude, I gave them the benefit of rounding up!
