Day 3: POD number 3 mostly yard, garage and last minute items. Once again Andrew was flexible, arriving once I informed him the pod was on the driveway. Because of the contents of the POD Andrew was able to spend time assembling beds and furniture while his team mate filled the garage with boxes etc. Today's above and beyond item involved disassembling a 14 foot wheelchair ramp that had been loaded on the last minute as a single unwieldly item. Great job over all three days, a pleasure to work with.

Day 2 and the second pod. I unlocked it to find the door only rose one foot. A big thanks to Andrew and his can-do attitude who got it higher, pulled out a mattress, then got inside the pod and moved a bedframe out of the way. The packers at my previous home did not do a good enough job keeping items tied down and away from the door. Andrew was again flexible, arriving after I informed him he pod was on the driveway. We used SD247 because we had just one pod per day and their minimum job is 2 hours. Andrew went above and beyond, a large cabinet had lost one plastic foot making unbalanced and likely to scratch the floor. He replaced all four with soft pad material.

We had a complicated situation with three 16ft PODS to unload with only one arriving each day due to space constraints. Andrew was very flexible to accommodate the delivery schedule. Three two hour sessions with him and his helper. Day one: My wife and I just watched and answered questions about unmarked boxes and matching furniture to rooms. Andrew pointed out some issues with packing that caused marking on unwrapped dining chairs. Completed the task in the scheduled two hours.

Both Jason and Isiah showed up on time & ready to work. They were very professional extremely friendly and took great care with all of my items that had to be moved two flights of stairs. We thought a table wouldn’t fit through the door. They offered to disassemble the table and reassemble it. Luckily, it did fit so disassembly was not required. I highly recommend these two movers. They were extremely courteous and respectful. I highly recommend them, and I am giving them five stars! - Carmen

Hired 2 worker only one showed up. Hour later the 2nd showed up. No adjustment in payment amount. they caused damage to the screen door. They would not admit damage, forced my daughter tot text and say there was no damage. Then asked for a tip. They also gave their phone number so we could hire them and not go through the company. I would not use them again. KS El Cajon,CA

This has nothing to do with the job that my two helpers did, but the extra hours turned out to be way expensive. It was already more than I expected, but with the extra hours needed (due to the heat of the day and distance from the unit to the parking lot), it ended up being almost twice what I expected.
