My Crew Eddie & Alisia were extremely knowledgeable, experienced, friendly & careful. Packed & wrapped my items meticulously and placed all in my container like pros. Honestly, they fit more than I expected into my container; saving me from having to order a second container. Great teamwork! Kudos and thank you for a stress free experience.

The crew arrived on time and completed the loading within the time window that we paid for. We were pleased with how much they were able to get into the POD. The only “negative” was there was some damage to one of our door frames - paint was scratched off and doorframe was roughed up. Overall a wonderful experience. Would use them again.
