The 2 movers were terrific - cheerful, respectful, professional, and thorough... nothing was bumped, no door frames were scratched. They arrived exactly on time (12 noon) and finished in exactly one hour, at 1pm. They offered to stay after emptying the truck and help us move things around, but we told them to head out and have a happy Memorial Day. We'd absolutely recommend this service and hire them again for future moves.

The movers were exactly on time, and prepared for the job. They were very nice and worked hard. However, they didn't manage time well and rushed the last portion. I had to re-pack it. They did not seem to know how to pack a truck for a cross-country move! I had to ask them multiple times to wrap wooden chairs, a bookcase, and a dresser with moving blankets (that I provided). Even then, they only draped the furniture in the blankets, and did not securely wrap and tape them. Also, they did not read the labels on the boxes, and packed heavy boxes on top of boxes labeled "FRAGILE drinking glasses". Overall, I would say they are for in-town moves, but not for cross-country or long-distance moves.

Jose and Freddie did a fantastic job. They were careful with my belongings and placed furniture exactly where I requested. They also assembled a bed frame and put the legs on two tables. I appreciated their kindness and courtesy and would definitely use them again!

I was amazingly pleased with Thunderhorse Moving. They were a little late on arrival due to traffic--(totally understandable). Once they arrived, they jumped into total action. These guys really know how to load a Pod!! Pod (which was totally helpful and supportive) had dropped two Pods (large & small) a couple of days before. However, since I have a lot of large furniture, a piano, and many many boxes, I was nearly freaking out with fear that it couldn't all fit. Well--Thunderhorse Moving guys totally know how to load those Pods! They got every single item loaded with scientific pricision! I couldn't have been happier nor more pleased with their work. (Needless to say, I gave the fellows a decent cash tip for their good work.) btw, I had hired four guys--it's a good idea not to cut corners. Anyway, I totally and highly recommend Thunderhorse Movers, and their leader Jorge who was absolutely supportive and made himself available for contact at any time. 5-STARS! WONDERFUL JOB!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! (CA coast 7 Feb. 2018)

Excellent service from Goleta Moving Labor! The workers were great, arrived on time, were done in less time than allocated, were respectful of all of our property and worked very hard. Great communication from the supervisor, Danny, throughout the process, and they were very understanding regarding the situation around a natural disaster situation that caused major road closures and meant we couldn't have our container delivered. We had to reschedule several times and they didn't bat an eye and remained as friendly as ever. We will absolutely be using them again.

Maverick movers did an excellent job unloading a 26 ft truck in just two hours. They were thoughtful and respectful in helping to assemble some of my tough furniture in the remaining time.

We were happy with the moving team we received. They were flexible in schedule and actually came earlier than originally planned, which worked out really well for us. The team was really careful not to bump walls, and we had a tight staircase for them to navigate thru. Overall, they did a great job... And even helped to reassemble my futniture, all within our hired timeblock. My only advice to other clients, have someone dedicated to keeping the drop locations organized. Because i was helping outside with some things, and not directing traffic in the house, i think I've got my work cut out for me today in getting the place organized so i can unpack. I don't necessarily blame the moving team, this is just a general statement to those new to hiring movers. I'd definitely hire this company again!
