Anthony and his group did an amazing job packing my moving container. They knew exactly how to Tetris pack it for a long distance move and use the space wisely. He Had great communication even when they knew they were running a little late, I got plenty of notice. They were extremely friendly and sooo strong. I hired three movers for two hours and they were extremely efficient and respectful of the time allotted and packed my 5 glass display cabinets very carefully. I would hire them again. They completely packed my 16 ft container in the time allotted. I even think there was a little time to spare. Just Hire them!
