We reviewed what needed to go. They started the work. They were very careful wrapping up some of the big furniture that needed to be moved. They moved boxes either by putting them in a cart and wheeling it down the hallway of my apartment building or by carrying them on their backs.
Once that was done, we went to one more house where we picked up two more pieces of furniture, which went quickly.
Then off to my new place, which was a bout 20 minutes away. (We went from North Arlington to South Arlington)
Then it was offloading everything. Again, it went smoothly. Items went the first floor,up to the second floor, or down to the finished basement.
There was one small break that occurred with a small, delicate antique coffee table. I did not notice it immediately. And I was able to do the repair myself.
That was it.
I would use them again. They were conscientious, careful, and professional.
A note on preparation: The move went so quickly in large part because we were well prepared before the movers arrived--everything was already boxed, furniture was already disassembled and shrink-wrapped for protection, and we had already moved a car load of our most fragile things the day ahead (framed pictures, glassware and such)--all well recommended things to do for a smooth and speedy moving experience. I can imagine that if you left it for the moving crew to do most of the furniture disassembly and wrapping, that would likely add some significant time to a 1 bedroom move (and costs for their packing supplies). Also we obtained no parking permits from the city so the moving truck could park directly in front of the buildings on both ends.
There were a couple larger things I wasn't able to pack before they arrived, which they did a good and thorough job with both: shrink wrapping the couch, and bubble-wrapping and boxing a 42-inch TV. They brought plenty of furniture blankets, at no extra cost, to keep things well protected while on the truck ride across town.
We scheduled the move about two weeks ahead of time. I left a voicemail at their number and had a response within an hour or so, then corresponded by email to fill out some paperwork and finalize the move date and time. I had to call back the day before to push back the start time by an hour, and they were happy to oblige.
The morning of the move the team leader gave me a call when they were en route so I had a good ETA with traffic. After showing them the lay of the land, they made short work of the load out, and also helped move a couple older pieces of furniture to the curb for freecycling purposes. The whole team was friendly and asked smart questions when needed.
The move in to the new place went smoothly and quickly. Boxes were color coded by destination room, so the crew was fairly self directed on where things went, just asking where they should place various furniture pieces as they came in.
At the end of the move, since we were finishing fairly close to lunch time, they opted against me ordering food for the group as I had originally planned--instead preferring a good tip so they could lunch on their own before their next job.
"Dear Customer, Thank you for your time and writing a feedback. The purchase of the coupon does not guarantee that the job will be done within the time covered by the coupon. It is just a combination of certain number of hours and the truck. Packing materials are not included in the price of the coupon. In the first email that you have received from the company is the explanation of the cost of packing materials as well as the rate for the extra hours of labor. On the day of the move the driver enplanes the charges one more time and goes through the contract so that the customer knows what he is paying for. Thanks you for choosing us and hope you enjoy your new home."
The movers called 30 minutes before they arrived at the residence to give enough notice. Once they arrived they got right ot work - they walk through the home to get an estimate of what needs to be moved. They are very upfront about costs and what they recommend additional packing for (fragile items, beds, tvs etc) and provide multiple options for you to choose. Unlimited furniture wrapping pads were included - however things like a matress cover, flat screen box were not. I would HIGHLY recommend getting these items from U-Haul as it is MUCH cheaper. Additionally, the moving supplies (boxes, tape etc) are very expensive so I would recommend providing these materials for the movers to use vice buying them from the company. They WILL charge you for rolls of moving tape involved with taping up the furniture pads to keep them secure.
The movers were efficient and packed everything well. They took care when moving the items - being careful NOT to bang into walls, doors etc. Unlike some other moving companies - these movers took few breaks and were very good in the use of their time.
One last tip would be to call the company directly to schedule your move. I tried to coordinate via e-mail/Angies List messaging which led to some confusion and not being scheduled for the original date as planned.
A couple things to note - there are additional costs that may not be mentioned in the initial communication. 1. Make sure you get a full price list, and 2. Make sure you verify number of steps, etc. and if there will be a charge. We didn't need our TV moved, but if we had, it would have been an additional $55 charge, etc. The charges were not unreasonable, but be aware.
they showed up on time and took care with the furniture - nothing was damaged or broken.
the move only took them only 2 hrs. i recommend them and would use them again.
