208 Moving Co

Happy with the coordination of the move date and hours available to help us with our move but price per hour was a quite excessive but we had no other choice since they were they only moving company available at that time with our dates being set. We had 3 guys, two which hustled and did a great job while the 3rd one was seen numerous times standing around not doing much at all. After our move we had also noticed a damaged wine cellar valued at $3,000 with a shattered front glass. This was brought to their attention shortly after their said "7 day" guarantee to file a claim of any damaged items and they stated they talked with their guys that were the helpers and they admitted no fault, so the company said they would not cover the glass to be replaced. This is not the kind of service I would wish upon anyone paying that pretty penny price tag and to have something of value damaged and for a company to not owe up to it and to look for any escape route but then again it only hurts their reputation like this review that I am leaving will! Look elsewhere! WE WILL NEVER USE THIS COMPANY OR ANY RENAMED COMPANY OF THEIRS AGAIN NOR REFER TO ANY FAMILY OR FRIENDS!!!!!!

They were on time and full of energy. A plus is they help to get some big item off the walls that I couldn't. The move went smoothly. The moving team was careful with all of my belongings and nothing was damaged. I had them adjust the locations of a two big of items. I had them place wrongly the first time and they were happy to oblige my change of mind.

the guys were great. they took care with all of my things and some was very heavy. i wish i had as much energy as they had. FYI i requested three guy instead of the normal two due to heavy items and being on the second level. i think all parties appreciated the consideration ...i because they were able to keep to the estimated time frame....them because the very heavy item were split between three instead of just two. I would hire them again and am recommending them to my friends.

These guys did our move earlier this month and they were nothing short of awesome. Totally professional and friendly. They loaded the truck, drove to the new house and unloaded on less than 2 1/2 hours. And our bill was about half of the estimate they gave us. I HIGHLY recommend this company!

Excellent!! I did an astounding amount of research on moving companies in Boise, and these folks had the bet ratings. Now I know why! The guys that moved us were the epitome of professionals. They thought and asked questions before moving anything, were always updating us on how much time they thought would be left, and never had "time to lean". They were booking it. And the price that was quoted, was what we paid. I don't know why we haven't used them before. I recommend them to everyone who is getting ready to move. Gob well done, and we thank you!

They were great. Very professional and pleasant to work with. They really hustled and worked hard moving some heavy stuff up and down stairs. They worked smart and worked together resulting in no damage to our new house. I would highly recommend them.

Perfectly. Two man crew was very professional and moved quickly.

Arrived on time, movers were very professional and worked hard the entire time. They took great care not to damage any furniture, walls, doors, etc. Highly recommend

They showed up on time, were fast and efficient yet careful, we moved more items than I had anticipated, and they charged what they had bid. Very good experience and I recommend them to everybody.

Very impressed with their efficiency and customer service. I am using these guys again in 3 months to move me into my new home. I highly recommend using 208 Moving Company!

Great! The 208 team was on time, courteous, hard working and paid close attention to detail. Thanks to Austin, Mike and Bryan for making my move easy!

We used 208 moving for a crosstown move from the North End to the Bench. Three member team of movers took about five (5) hours for the move. I thought the service was a little slow, frankly, but they did breakdown the beds and re-assemble them at the new house. Everything was moved without damage, and they were super polite and friendly. So A+/A on quality, B/B- on speed and price. I would still recommend them based on the quality of the service and professionalism.

I had a great experience with 208 movers. They were on time , fast, efficient, and professional.
Bryan and Nate did a great job. They were terrific .
My son also used 208 and had the same experience. I recommend them highly.

I could not have asked for anything more from them

208 Moving assigned a the person crew (Dan, Austin and Jerimiah) to the project.  The crew communicated well prior to arriving at the site.  We needed to coordinate on street parking and building access.  Every piece of furniture was wrapped in blankets and protected to prevent damage.  The crew did a great job getting everything packaged up and moved out promptly.  The delivered the Furniture and furnishings to two separate locations.  The entire project was complete by early afternoon.  They did a great job and would most definitely hire them for my next move.

Two young men showed up at the appointed time and very quickly and professionally moved my furniture and washer and dryer from one house to another across town. I was very pleased with the care they took to avoid damage to my belongings and the houses. I do not hesitate to recommend 208 Moving.

They were prompt, clean and professional.  They moved things quickly and placed where we wanted things.  The biggest problem was packing.  Nothing was very well labeled.  Dishes were not packed with like kinds.  Most of the packing seemed random.  One piece or thing from one place and the next thing from a completely different place.  Glasses were laid on their sides in boxes (none broke however).  We have many framed pictures on the wall which were not packed.  They collected them, leaned them up against the wall overnight and then wrapped in moving blankets.  Several glasses in the frames were broken, frames were damaged.  When they delivered, lots of boxes were just stacked in the garage.  It was very difficult to find things when they were gone.  The beds were not properly assembled.  They were quick at moving things.

208 Moving was recommended by Angie's List, along with a couple of other local moving companies.  We contacted a total of three companies to obtain an estimate of time and cost.  Two companies came to our home to provide an estimate and one company did not.  Both companies that came to our home provided an estimate that was in the general ballpark of each other.  The third company, who did not come to the house, provided an estimate that was three times higher than the other two.  
We selected 208 Moving based on the interaction, questions & answers, professional demeanor, and price - in that order.   The original estimate was just for the storage unit.  I later called and requested an estimate for the additional stop at our temporary apartment (until our new home is built).  They came back very quickly with an adjusted estimate.  The estimate occurred approximately three weeks prior to our move.  A couple of days prior to our move I received a call from 208 Moving to ensure we were still on track and the move was still on.  They indicated that they would be at our home between 8:00am and 9:00am, and that they would give us a call when they were on their way.  I received a call at 8:30am indicating that they would arrive at 9:00am.  They arrived right on time. We were prepared for them.  We had already moved a number of boxes to storage and to the apartment.  All the other stuff was disassembled and grouped together.  So the task at hand was to move the big, bulky, heavy stuff i.e., couches, beds, washer/dryer, massive desk unit, kitchen table, etc., etc.  
When they arrived they took a tour of the house to get a feel for what needed to be done.  Questions were asked, and the move began.  They first put padding covers over the outside door and laid a runner along the main hallway.  Because they charge by the hour I was initially concerned about how quickly they would move - I was impressed.  They never stopped, or slowed down.  When a question was asked it was while they were on the move.  Now granted we moved a number of boxes ourselves and filled half of a 16X25 storage unit, but they filled the other half and matched the height of what I had stacked the boxes.  The move was completed in just under 3 1/2 hours.  They charged for supplies (pad rental), time and taxes.  This came to $570.  It was under their estimate.
We will use 208 Moving again in December when our new home is ready to move into.  The thing that impressed me is that they did everything they said they would do.  I did not expect this - it has not been my experience in dealing with a number of different businesses over time.  I highly recommend them if you have a need for a moving company.

These folks are great.  I think their prices are great too.  Especially when you consider how fast they were.  I've never seen movers move that fast, and with that much energy.  If some other company seems cheaper per hour, consider the fact that they'll go a lot slower than these guys, and will ultimately end up costing more.
They were nice, called several times with updates, treated our furniture and home with respect, and were professional.  I highly recommend them.

The 3 person crew was awesome! I have some very nice pieces of furniture. They took great care to shrink-wrap and otherwise protect every piece that I have. So far I have not detected any damage. They also wrapped the doorways and put runners down on the hard surface floors. The guys were very professional and patiently worked with me to place the furniture exactly where I wanted in my new home. One of them even captured and disposed of a black widow spider that came along for the ride from my old house. I used to work for an oil company and have had a lot of moves - local, inter-state, and international. I wish I had had this team for all of my past moves!

They were very professional and listened to where we wanted everything placed.  They worked hard and got all of the items moved that we needed help with.  The only thing I would ding them on is not putting runners on the carpets of our new home, but that is a pretty minor complaint for the quality of service and price paid for the service.  I would use this company again, if I move again.

They were on time, hard workers (sometimes they would run back and forth), and got the truck packed in nice and tight.  In fact, the movers who helped us unload in Virginia were very impressed.  However, there were a couple of things that were frustrating.  When they moved the washer and dryer, our vinyl floor tore in a few places, which we didn't notice until they left.  They were quick to respond to our concern and said they had a handyman that would come and fix the floor.  We were leaving the next day, and the handyman couldn't come for another week, so I had a neighbor let him in. He didn't finish the job and needed to come back again, but his schedule was pretty packed.  It was frustrating to have to go back and forth with him, with my neighbor, and with the people who were moving into the home all while moving cross country.  Also, we just unpacked our furniture (after waiting for our floor to be refinished in the new home) and there are holes in two of the couch arms as well as stains in multiple places on the arms, where the couches were tipped on their side to allow for better packing.  As far as I could see, no furniture pads were used to protect the fabric, though we provided plenty and there were some left over.  So, there are mixed feelings about this company.  I would say use them, but be careful with how your couches are packed!  And I have not yet contacted them about the damage, so maybe they will make good.
