I first want to say that I waited this long to provide feedback as I have been working with Joe the owner of Good Guys since July 2015 to get a copy of my Bill. I needed the a copy of the receipt to receive reimbursement for my move. My copy was lost in the move and I asked for a copy so I can get reimbursed. I have contacted Joe almost weekly since August and Joe always responds with an apology and an excuse. It has been 6 months and I still have not received a copy of a bill!!
It has been a long and painful process dealing with Good Guys. It all started out very good and Joe was very charismatic and proud of his team. I looked at his reviews and decided to give him the business. I needed to move around July 4th and I was aware this is a extremely busy season. Joe ensured me he could handle the job and since he gave his team the 4th of July weekend off they would come back ready to work. I have a larger house and a lot of items so it was a big job, bigger than we thought. We ended up filling up 2 20' trailers and 1/2 of another one.
I hired Joe's team as I wanted things to be professionally packed and secured in the trailers. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. We provided over 60 Moving blankets and any other supplies they needed. The move out took two days and the crew worked hard and was friendly. Upon opening the trailers on the other end is when it things went really bad.
The professional moving labor I hired to unload initially refused to unload me as they didn't want to be responsible for all the damage. They said it was the worst packing and loading job they ever saw. They were even more amazed that I hire a professional moving company to do this. Overall, I incurred a several thousands dollars in damages to our personal property. We had just purchased a expensive bedroom set two weeks prior, it now looked like it was 10 years old. We have completely broken pieces of furniture and other items. Joe's team put our 3ft height cardboard wardrobe shipping boxes in the front of the trailer on the bottom. They then piled everything on top of them. When we finally located them they were now 1ft tall. The damage to our stuff was extensive,
I notified Joe and sent pictures of all the damage. He just blamed the trucking company for driving poorly. He blamed me for the size of the job and needing it done around the 4th of July. He made it sound like he was doing me a favor. He blamed me for not having enough packing supplies. I say again we had over 60 moving blankets and anything else the team needed. He accidently dialed me on his phone as he was talking to his crew and left a message. It was Joe telling his crew in a very derogative tone and content about a customer. The crew laughed in the background and threw out more insults and condescending remarks.. I can only assume it was about me based on the some of the specifics. From the start of the issue, Joe was not going to take any responsibility and that was very obvious.
This was not a trucking problem but a packing and loading problem. Again the professionals unloading me were absolutely amazed on how bad it was. .
I have now given up on getting a copy of my bill and will take the financial loss. It's now 2016 and I need to move on.
We highly recommend using Good Guy Movers for your next move.
Note: the price we paid was after they honored a military discount.
The crew hustled for 4 hours loading a three bedroom apartment onto at 26' truck. They were incredibly friendly and didn't stop. They could have done a little better with the wrapping of the furniture and used the rubber bands and furniture wrap I provided instead of the tape. The tape can mar the furniture.
The truck was well loaded and did not shift much during the drive to Virginia and overall I am very happy!
loading process, these guys unloaded, unpackaged and folded all the furniture pads for these three vehicles in half the time it took to load! Even more impressive is that the house I moved from was single level and this one has three!
After coordinating with Joe, he sent over the team immediately after my closing and they arrived with perfect timing. After a quick intro and tour of the house, they began RUNNING, literally running things into my house. I helped sort things out of the truck and I could barely keep up. A few hours in, they asked politely for a quick, not on the clock, break which they greatly deserved. After a 15 minute pause to catch their breath, they began again and as I said, completed the truck and both trailers in less than 4 hours.
After the work was completed, we settled up via Credit Card, which has a small fee FYI and ended up chatting with the guys for a few minutes and they were extremely professional and great to talk with. I will definitely use them again and highly recommend them to any and everyone who needs something moved quickly, efficiently and most of all pleasurably!
Great Job Good Guys!
Short version: These guys are awesome, and we'll continue to use them for any moving needs we'll have in the future. I will absolutely recommend them to anybody.
We recommend them without hesitation.
Their "can do" attitude and their exceptionally reasonable prices set them apart from all other movers I considered.
When I contacted the owner (Joseph Rugar) he was more than willing to help and investigate the situation. Ultimately the ring wasn't found. He said that he fired the guy he suspected, but I don't know if that actually happened. He said he would send me a refund of the amount that I spent on the moving job and I never received it. He claims that he did send it, but at this point I doubt that it got lost in the mail twice. Joseph also offered to drop off the refund on a specific day; I was home that day; he never dropped it off.
Unfortunately, I've tried to give Joseph and Good Guy Movers every opportunity to make this right, but they have failed in this task. I feel bad writing this review because in my previous dealings with them, I thought Joseph was a good person, but this ordeal was such a bad experience.
"Thank you for the review! We have 15+ years of moving experience and have the expertise to assist with your special needs. We understand that moving is stressful but we are here to help you in any way Thank you, Joseph R."
