The move itself went very well. They told us to expect the driver between 8 and 10 in the morning on Saturday. He showed up at 9 with his help. They stuck little numbered stickers on all of our boxes and furniture and wrote down on a sheet a detailed list of everything we were moving. They wrapped the furniture in blankets and moved every thing out onto their truck. They had everything out of our apartment and outside either in the truck or on its way into the truck by noon. They gave us a copy of the list of everything we were shipping.
The driver told us he was making a stop in Seattle not far from us on the following Friday and that we could expect him between 11 and 1 that day. He showed up a bit late (due to rain delaying the other drop - that was no fault of his) with help to move everything upstairs. He gave us a list of all the items we moved and as they brought in the boxes they called off the numbers and we crossed them off. A few of the boxes were wet from the rain so they told us to write that down on the sheet. But nothing was damaged and everything made it.
I was very impressed with them because we had two dressers that were extremely heavy. The driver and his helper carried both dressers up three flights of stairs and put them in place. I would definitely work with them again if I need to move in the future.
The positive experience continued with my move coordinator, Connie Gardner. She was on top of everything and continually followed up to make sure I was happy and well informed.
On move day the crew they sent out was nothing short of fantastic. The three man crew emptied my apartment in just about an hour, taking lots of care both with my belongings and the building as well. They were fast, friendly, and professional making it a very pleasant experience.
Overall it was a positive move experience and it wouldn't have been so pleasant without the team at Sullivan staying on top of things, keeping me informed, and making sure I was happy.
On the delivery side, the movers insisted on charging me a substantial additional charge for a "shuttle" since their truck was too big for the street. It was a normal size street with plenty of width, but they have a massively large truck. I can't imagine a situation where a shuttle wouldn't be required. However, this was not communicated to me at the time of the estimate. I would almost consider this a scam. Once they have all of the leverage, they keep on charging you more money.
However, besides that, the movers were fast, efficient and courteous. My stuff arrived in pretty good condition, with only a very minor defect in the couch.
