MovingZoom has a great team. Very professional packing, not a scratch on the furniture. Items were arranged and secured very well inside the pod so they didn't move at all during transportation. Every square inch was judiciously used. When unloading the pod they helped me put new pads on the furniture so they didn't scratch the floor. Pleasure to work with, professional and very friendly.

Andre and Anthony were awesome. They were very respectful of our property and wrapped our furniture very well with the blankets we provided. This was only a small POD that we were using while staging our home for sale. They packed it tightly and were able to get so much more in the POD than we ever could. I highly recommend them!

The two workers called several times to tell me they were running late. They arrived 4 hours after the scheduled arrival. While there they worked hard and were respectful of my property. Since they arrived late, it got dark and they were tired so they did not finish loading the pod. I had to hire someone else to finish the job.
