Company: Excellent Movers Daniel and Wilson went above and beyond to help us unload everything from our move from Pennsylvania to California.

They were very pleasant and respectful. Showed up on time. You could tell that their main goal was speed though. They were tossing boxes around, some even stacked upside down. I had some broken items but I know some of that is prob from the movers who loaded my pod. Impossible for me to tell.

We used Rigo’s Moving and Storage twice to load three Pods. One time it was at our house with a crew of two people, and the other time at a storage facility with four people. Both times Anthony and the rest of the team arrived when they were supposed to and worked efficiently. They handled the items with care and made sure everything was protected and stable for our cross country move. and he and the entire team of movers (2 the first time, 4 the second time) were Martha in the office was great to communicate with when I had questions about coordination and timing.
