I have had some horrible movers in the past so I decided it was time to cough up a little more coin and stop hiring uhaul tweekers. I found these guys here on Yelp and read through the reviews. There were a lot of great ones so I decided to give them a shot. Here's how it went.
- I sent over an online request for a quote on Saturday. Even though it was not during their listed business hours, they still gave me a call. I wasn't near the phone so we ended up playing a little phone tag. Since we didn't connect on Saturday, they promptly called me Monday morning to talk to me about my move.
- We went over my needs and costs. We agreed on getting a 3 man crew. The price was $129/hr plus a $129 travel fee. No other hidden costs. All the dollies, moving blankets, and shrink wrap were included in the cost. I decided to go ahead and schedule for Saturday.
- Friday they called to confirm, made sure they had all my info correct, and said they would see me bright and early the next morning. 7am!!
- 6:45 Saturday morning. The truck rolls up, 3 guys get out and start prepping and ring the doorbell. They all introduce themselves and ask for a tour. We walk through and point out what's going and they start immediately. They came by to have me initial the actual start time and didn't start the clock until 7. They didn't charge for the walk through which was great!
- I sat back and did very little. I let the guys do their thing and tried to stay out of the way. They were careful with all my belongings and moved pretty quick.
- After about 1 1/2 hours the truck was loaded. They confirmed the address and cross streets and off they went.
- I beat them to the new house by about 5 minutes. They rolled up, gave them a quick walk through and off they went.
- Unloading was a little slower due to having to move all my stuff into a basement. Nothing to complain about though. They were still very careful with everything.
- overall it took 4 hours and 15 minutes including a 30 mile drive across town.
I spent a little more than I wanted to but I feel it was worth it. I was very happy with the crew and their professionalism. I will be using Just-In Time for all my future moves!!
