Customers Trust MovingPlace
Eric worked with me on short notice and very flexible at getting my POD unloaded and mostly going up to the 2nd floor. The two movers hustled for two hours without a break to get the job done. Will use these folks next time I need some help!

Tony and his coworker were great! They accommodated my request to start earlier, were careful with our belongings, and were extremely professional and friendly.

Movers | NexMove
These movers did an outstanding job! We were so impressed at how carefully they packed our rental truck. They moved items like they were doing a puzzle. I couldn’t believe how well and how much they were able to fit in the truck. They were genuinely nice guys and happy to discuss how certain furniture should be handled. I’m grateful they were available to help and do all the heavy lifting and more. Mary

This team communicated well. They were early in arrival and did everything I asked. My only issue was the price. I paid over $400 and they had it unloaded in 30 minutes. I felt robbed. Hire a Helper and/or Blue Cow need a sliding scale.
— Aileen T.
Movers | Blue Cow Moving & Storage
They were there on time and wasted no time unloading my stuff. They were very professional and good to work with. This is a great service especially for people moving from one state to another as I did. I hired them on the Internet when I reserved my rental truck. I was not aware of this service until then. It solved the problem of having to ask family members to take time off work to move me in. They are also grateful. I would definitely recommend Blue Cow.

Chris at Iowa Moving 1, the gentleman I scheduled with through Hire a Helper, was courteous, professional, and reassuring. The loaders were scheduled to arrive between 8 and 9 am. At 8:15, Loader KJ called and said they were 5 minutes out and they arrived promptly - so far, so good! My loaders, KJ and Christian, were friendly, professional, polite, careful with my things, and efficient. They were finished in the required 2-hour period. When we unloaded on the other end, everything was in great shape. I love these guys!

The guys were wonderful. Showed up on time, packed my belongings very efficiently and neatly. I would highly recommend. The only complaint I might have is with HireAHelper pricing. It was less than 2 hours, I was charged for 3 with no option for refund of the third hour.
