It was good. They were very careful with our belongings. nothing was broken throughout the process. Very professional. They were a little late because their vehicle broke down. It was a little pricey.
"Thank you [member name removed]: Unfortunately trucks occasionally have surprise problems--at least it is good to hear that the crew got back on the road and did a good job with your move! Thank you!"
"Thank you (removed member name)! My apologies for the mirror, but when something happens we do try to make good on it. Best of luck in your new place!"
The next day my appointment rolls around (I had an 8 a.m. time, so it was the first of the day) and I've heard nothing. 45 minutes after they were already supposed to have arrived I call the "client hotline"/answering machine and leave word about my situation. 2 hours and 15 minutes after my appointment time I get a call from the movers that they will be there in 20 minutes (rounds to 3 hours late...).
The movers themselves were professional and courteous and for the most part did an good job of moving furniture. They had a tough job at the original location as the stair hallways were open, but extremely narrow. They left a significant amount of dark streaks on the wall (which I was able to remove with a magic eraser) and 4 to 5 good sized gauges in the drywall (hat will have to come out of my security deposit). Not necessarily out of the ordinary given the narrow stairs, but I do wish it had been addressed at the time of the move rather than me discovering the issue when I had to go back to the old apartment later to get my checkbook (see last paragraph).
Their GPS took them the wrong way and it took 30 min or so longer than it should have to get from Brighton to JP, but they docked that time from the bill, which is the right thing to do, but not something I honestly expect as a consumer in this day and age. The move into the JP condo was handled excellent. They were in and out without incident in much less time than I would have expected.
About an hour after services were completed, the movers called to explain that they had lost my check and would need me to provide a new one. Unfortunately my checkbook was still back in Brighton, so I had to call the bank to put a stop payment on the first check and make an unplanned trip back (to get my checkbook and magic eraser the wall so my surprise). For my time and effort I was offered a $15 discount, which will not even cover the stop payment fee my bank has assessed.
"Hi [member name removed]: Thanks for the feedback, sorry for the delay in responding, I don't check in here too much. I'd like to apologize for the lateness of the crew, I instruct them to use map books and not GPS for this very reason--Lou, your driver has since been directed to do so, and is now one of our primary interstate drivers. Things can happen on a move, it sounds like a number of small factors added up to make your move not as satisfactory as we would like--as for wall damages, we have a couple of repairmen, and I'd like to know if you had reported the damage to someone in the office because it never came across my desk for a repair order. If that's the case I'll have to reprimand whomever did not put in the repair order! Once again, my apologies for the glitches--at least it is good to hear that in the end everything was done without any major problems, but those little things can add up. I wish you happiness in your new home, and if you do move again, I hope that you might give us a chance to redeem ourselves. Thank you!"
Both the movers were exceptional from their upbeat demeanor to their professionalism and good nature despite the moving conditions. We hadn't seen the storage facility layout; we picked it based on proximity. My girlfriend was so impressed by them that she's hired them to do her move next month and requested the same movers. I would use them and recommend them highly based on our experience.
"Thanks [removed members name], it is always great when we can give someone a positive moving experience. Enjoy your new home!"
