did not wrap the furniture as other movers do. They broke a bookcase and a lamp.
And refused to move two small lamps claiming they were too antiques which
they were not ? both were inexpensive and had successfully been moved many times before by other movers
- my husband handled the move itself, said the guys were very polite and prompt
- when it came time to pay, they asked for a 3% extra fee for us to pay with a credit card. that was an unpleasant surprise. we were not informed of that ahead of time. we ended up paying cash.
SO:
make sure you confirm your request ahead of time.
clarify the payment method ahead of time
They were better movers than packers. A few small things were broken because the packing service was a little general. I organized things carefully but the order was lost which made it more time consuming later to unpack. I still have not located one or two items. ( But this may just how things go when a company packs your stuff for you). But I have had another company ServPro pack and move me and they were better all around. They also cost twice as much. Nystrom does a great job of being on time, packing with lightenting speed and moving your stuff carefully. They do not do so well with the small little details but the result is that the job takes less time and will cost you less money. If you want to pay for a perfect move in which all the boxes are put on inventory list this is not your company. If you want a great move that is safe, friendly, easy to schedule and exectute mostly without any large mishaps this is your company. They were done so fast with the packing I could hardly beilieve it. Throughout the move they were bot flexible and professional.( this is a rare and awesome combination) My move was complex and required constant adjustment and shifting of plans for the moment. They helped me get it done and hey were willing to change plans at the last moment adding days shifting times to acomodate my schedule and to make the move happen easily.
I would definitely recommend this company to friends and commrades.
Truck and 3 employees arrived at 8:30 as scheduled. They were efficient and friendly. They joked around among themselves, but this did not interfere with their work. They worked as a team. They moved some items 2 times, as I changed my mind about locations. They put beds and dressers together without asking. They worked for 4 hours without observed breaks. The move was totally satisfactory. They were respectful of the property. There was no damage.
I had used this company in January of this year, again on Wednesday and would recommend them to others.
We had hired a two man crew for two hours. I confirmed the day before to make sure that we would have movers at 10:30 a.m. The movers did not show up until 12:30 p.m., two hours late. We called approximately every fifteen minutes for two hours. Every time we would call they would stay "They will be there in two minutes". My husband even waited outside for quite awhile, they finaly arrived two hours late with a three man crew. I was shocked when I got the bill for what was origionaly going to be a $220 move, our bill was $370 because they had without our consent or knowlage sent a three man crew. Having the movers arrive so late was very stressful we did not even known it they were coming they were so late. The movers themselves did a good job but I would never work with this company again and would not recommend their services.
I was so happy to reach a real human being and her conversation made me feel confident in my choice to use them.
On the day of moving I was pretty stressed... Wondering how the move would go in the dang freezing weather, but I need not have worried.
Toby and his 2 guys arrived on time and moved everything I required within 3 hours, start to finish which included having to disasemble a futon, dining table and fit that huge couch up a steep flight of stairs with little room to move about.
I think it was minus 4 degrees that day, cold as h*** with some light flaky snow as well.
I found the team of movers very pleasent and actually fun to work with. They were so light on their feet and professional and joked between themselves and moved at an incredible speed. At first I sort of wonderewd when they arrived if they could handle this, considering it was very icy to the street from my home and then the townhouse had the difficulty of a steep entrance and narrow hallway up to the main floor from the street level.
They had it down and used quilts and covered any slippery areas to and from the house and truck.
These guys nailed it. Toby, was the foreman. Once they looked around a bit and stood there a couple minutes they suddenly got into action. These guys were faster then any movers I'd ever met and I'd been a real estate broker for years.
It was fairly amazing how well put together that team was. Very respectful of not breaking or scraping anything.
My last experience with a move back in 2009 had taken twice as long and the team back then had argued amongst themselves the whole time.
This move with Nystrom Movers and Toby at the helm was fantastic. I love working with a family owned and operated company.
It made my move so much better then I'd expected. It took 3 men 3 hours. Perfect!
