Omar and Jordan from Vicky Lu's LLC were fantastic! They arrived within the designated time window and managed to load my one bedroom apartment (including more than 20 boxes of books) into my moving truck in EXACTLY two hours so I didn't have to pay extra. Omar was clearly an experienced professional and organized the truck so nothing moved during transit across five states. Both men were friendly, efficient, and managed my belongings carefully, working tirelessly in 90+ degree heat. I enthusiastically recommend them. Don't forget to offer cold water to your movers, especially in hot weather!

The crew was awesome and extremely efficient. They moved all my items with care and packed my pod up within the two hours I booked them for (and I had a lot of stuff to be moved). I would definitely use Vicky Lu’s again. And the movers were so kind, an added bonus as you are opening your home up to them. 10 out of 10, highly recommend.
