The two gentlemen who assisted us were prompt in their arrival, introduced themselves, Dalton and Joey, and were quick to get to work. Both were very concerned about the quality of work and sought verbal feedback routinely. They worked extremely well with us regarding placement of items in the home to minimize extra moving of items as we settled. I highly recommend this Express Movers of WIlmington, especially if they hire gentlemen of this calibur --excellent work ethic, manners, and personallity. Thank you very much for sending us Dalton and Joey. Dalton and Joey, thank you personally for your attention to detail, friendly manners, and strong work ethic. You both will do well in life with these values as your base.

Movers | Cape Fear Provisioners of NC LLC
They arrived right on time (three guys). Did a bang-up job bringing in items; setting them in the proper rooms, and even went a bit beyond duty in helping me get an awkward white box-case put into place after I re-fitted the legs on it. Very good attitude and helpful ......

Movers were professional, quick and efficient. However, little care was taken when moving the furniture which resulted in some minor damage to the furniture/apartment. The job was also completed with over 30+ minutes left in the allotted time, so more care could have been taken.
