I cannot say enough good things about my moving experience. The name of the company that came was Everybody’s Mover. Everybody’s Mover showed up on time. They were experts at packing the pod and got all my stuff to fit which I thought was impossible. I cannot recommend them enough.

Loved my guys who unloaded my Pod Friday. They were very good at placing everything in each room where it belonged. They were very respectful as they worked. I enjoyed having them in my new home. They were very careful not to damage anything as they carried items n boxes into the condo. Great job! Thank you.

They got to our place earlier, before there window time which was good because we have other people coming to drop off things. They were prepared. They worked hard it took them less than an hour and 20 minutes to move everything out of our truck. They were very efficient. Would definitely recommend and use again for another move.

They arrived early, and worked hard every minute until we were done. They were careful with our furniture but fast and efficient. And tried to be as helpful as they could be, even with little things such as stacking the heavier boxes on the bottom and lighter on top in the new place to make unpacking easier. Truly a blessing to have had them! Thank you so much!
