These movers were fast, efficient, and reliable. They communicated through every step, arrived comfortably on-time, and were accommodating to work with the time window set from the shipping company I had used. I’d definitely work with this company again for any future moving needs. Huge plus that they were kind and polite, which alleviated a lot of the stress from the move.

Sure trips was wonderful. They promised a refund because they finished before expected, but Hire a Helper overruled their effort at fairness and refused to refund the hour that was unused. Sure-Trip gets all the stars. Hire a Helper sucks.
