Andrew and Anthony were absolutely amazing. Andrew was extremely communicative in advance and helped me prepare so that the day of the move went smoothly. I had reserved a Upack trailer-and you only pay for what you use. Anthony was such a wizard at packing my boxes and furniture that I went from an expected 8’ down to 5’! He took great care of my goodies and was so kind, and Andrew packed my oversize art very carefully so I didn’t need to hire a courier just for that. I was given an eta of when they would arrive and they showed up on the dot- you can tell they take great pride in their customer service and work in the community. Andrew was a font of information and clearly values quality of execution above all. I haven’t been this impressed with a business in…I don’t know how long!

Movers | Facemove Inc

They were rushing initially (running late), which was stressful because I had a Pod that was using city service and for a limited about of time. Because they rushed they did not hear what big furniture items I wanted moved and it caused issues later on. They were nice, but very inefficient as well. The handyman I hired the day before said the bed would be very easy to dismantle so I left it for these guys who spent an excessive amount of time dismantling the beds and not as much actually moving furniture.

Sitter's Movers did a fantastic job for a load from apartment complex and unload into a Relocube on site at ABF. Very grateful for their loading expertise into the container as I had a very dense load of 80+ boxes full of books, media and audio/computer equipment that was being transported across the border 3000+ miles away. They meticulously made sure there was no shifting and minimized the risk of breakage of lower boxes. Very happy to say everything arrived intact. Impressed by the preparation guidance before the move, the great communication during the move and completing the entire move including transport on site within the specified time. Thank you Sitter's Movers!

Anthony Sitter and his helper Nick were on time and good about notifying me when they were on their way. They were very careful with my antiques, handling them gently and wrapping them in blankets and stretch wrap. They worked steadily and efficiently and finished within the allotted time frame. I would definitely recommend them.
