Universal Movers were awesome. They helped me pack up my house and load everything into a POD, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better crew. Super professional, on time, and they really knew what they were doing and you can tell they’ve packed a lot of houses before. They handled all my stuff with care, especially my prized items, and somehow managed to fit everything perfectly like a real-life game of Tetris. They made what could’ve been a stressful day feel easy. Highly recommend them if you want movers who actually know how to pack right and take pride in their work.
