Wasted a lot of time I had to get help to finish moving me out. They would take things down and sit in the truck all my things should have been removed but wasn’t.

Profession and hardworking. I overestimated the amount of items that would fit in the 16 ft Pod and we worked as a team to decide on the best approach to maximize space. I need to have another Pod later and would like the same team back.

They did a great job! They spoke with me about unique challenge at the new drop off site. Then they went right to work, handling everything with skill. The destination had a set of stairs, which is really why we needed them, and they took care of it like champs. They were committed to getting the job done.

Patrick and Justin were prompt, hardworking and excellent communicators over the course of a tricky moving job. They made a ridiculous amount of furniture and boxes fit in a 16' Pods container, and were super careful with our stuff.
