They were amazing! I have never seen two guys better at tetris. They were super fast and very professional. I got two pods thinking that I would need another for my move but by the time they left, only one was needed and there was still room in it. I am very impressed and would recommend them to everyone looking to move. 10/10!

They were not on time but the guys were great. They arrived at 3:40 pm and were finished at 4:12pm. They were only here for 32 min. This is not fare to pay 2 hours.

They deserve to be called Excellent. This firm is a rare, rare example of a company doing things right. From the beginning I dealt directly with the manager, who was responsive, flexible and courteous. The loaders showed up on time, and with the manager, who ensured that everything was as it should be. I cannot praise the loaders highly enough: they did a phenomenal job. Thanks to them using every square inch of my rented Pod storage containers, I was able to use only two containers, not three, saving me thousands of dollars.

BC Movers are top notch professionals. We had 2 PODs to pack, a week apart and I am very pleased that I hired these guys for packing both of them. They were on time, went the extra mile to wrap, pad and protect out items. As we had supplied the moving blankets and wrap, they were able to quickly assess what needed extra attention and went straight to work. Their skills at packing the PODs is amazing. I would highly recommend them!

had a great experience with AH Moving Company. They arrived early, were professional from start to finish, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Jason was especially impressive—he paid close attention to where each item should go and showed real care and concern while handling my belongings. The team worked efficiently, communicated clearly, and made sure everything was placed exactly how I wanted. I truly appreciate their hard work and professionalism and would gladly use them
