My movers were great at communicating w me prior to the move. They were timely, professional, and made the whole experience positive. Their sense of humor was appreciated during such a stressful time. I was able to book them for longer than my original session. They happily obliged and went the extra mile to help me take a few things to my garage that was on site, but about a block away. I would highly recommend Eric and his team ??

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.

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.

These guys were early, very professional, courteous, energetic. They brought moving dollies and the tools the needed to disassemble and reassemble my furniture. The also brought blankets to cover doors so they didn’t get scratched up. I was so impressed! We ran over the reserved time but the had no trouble extending the time (of course, it cost more, but I expected that) to finish the job. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is moving!

Nick and the crew proved themselves as hardworking people who don't limit themselves to hours. What was expected to be a short move was very time consuming, but they kicked ass. I am grateful for their hard work and care.

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!
