The team was awesome. We had a special situation in that the load was being unloaded at 2 different destinations. The team worked perfectly to separate the load so that unloading the next day went smoothly. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

Big Win Movers was exceptionally great to work with. Alex and Cherry were my helpers, and besides knowing how to move, what really impressed me, was their handling of my customer's emotions; their smiles, quick pace, and positive comments, were able to help my customer set all of her worry and fear aside. Many can lift furniture, but lifting a customer's worries, is exceptional! Thank you Alex and Cherry, you truly delivered a "BIG WIN"!
