The delivery was on time, the equipment was present and functional, we loaded it with hel from an outside company, they picked it ip as stayed, locked it in our presence, drove it from MD to SC, delivered it when they said they would. It was still locked and opened in our presence. All items were present and in good condition. When the trailer was empty we called for pickup and got immediate response in the pick up. The equipment was clean and in great condition. We will use th again if we need to move from the current location to another one.
Description of Work: The delivered a 28 ftoving trailer to our drive, then picked it up, drove it from MD to SC, delivered it to our residence there, then retrieved the trailer.

Amazingly unprofessional company. I went online last week to get a quote, and followed up with a call to schedule delivery for a move. With over a week notice, the agent on the line was unable to schedule a delivery on the day I needed without explanation. She offered to shedule the drop late the following week, two weeks out from when I called, cutting out a week for me to load before the move. When I said that wouldn't work, she said she had to call the terminal to get permission and said she'd call me back. When she called back a little while later she said the terminal was closed and would call me the following day. I never received a call back. I followed up yesterday and left a voicemail with the company asking them to call back, and still got no response. This afternoon I called again, got a person on the phone, and when I started by saying that I had called last week and spoken to a young lady about a quote he interrupted me and said that there were "no young ladies" that worked there. I am trying to move, and all I need is a container dropped off so that I can start loading it. This company can't seem to even manage to do that. I highly recommend using another company.
Description of Work: No service performed, even though I called several times trying to engage this company and purchase their service.

The person that books the move is not able to provide reliable scheduling information.
Description of Work: The move was successful and we were happy with the service with one exception being that they take twice as long as other outfits.

This company saved us about $5000.00. We knew we needed storage on the end for about 3 months. I called a mover and got an estimate (actually 2 estimates) and the Pack Rat thing was hugely cheaper on storage! In the end, we hired the actual BIG MOVERS to pack and move our things into the unit. Then, Pack Rat picked it up.
Description of Work: Pack Rat brought us a container (they call it a rental unit), which we packed. Then, they transported it across the country and held it in storage for about 3.5 months. During that 3.5 months of storage we "visited" our container three times to get different things. They were very good about having our unit "brought out" of the facility for us to get into. It was always there when they said it would be. The unit itself was kept inside a locked, climate-controlled facility. Nothing broke in transit except a bottle of olive oil which shouldn't have been packed in the first place. The only thing you shoukld note is that the actual STORAGE cost begins the day they drop the unit at your home, not the day it arrives in their facility.... and, you should ALWAYS double confirm your visits, pick-up times, drop-off times. We found the customer service was at times a bit confused and messages didn't get through.

They are fantastic! I've never had a better move in all my life. They are affordable as well.
Description of Work: They helped me move. The kids that helped me move were very hard workers. They recommeded a company called Small Movers Inc in the area that I was moving to, which turned out well.
