Amazing - Steve and AJ are professional, courteous, and efficient. They were methodical in packing up the 16' PODS and used every bit of space! Great experience! Please note the back-office quotes from HireAHelper (the 3rd party resourcer) and Utopia are confusing/misleading. 1 entity states 2 movers for 2hrs at a base price of $315 and than the other entity states 2 movers for 3hrs at the same base price. When I called the HireAHelper operator, she flipped her story from 3hrs to 2hrs. The movers were great. HireAHelper and Utopia Movers' administrative and business operations are disappointing - 2 Stars.

The best movers I have ever witnessed. I told them that they should video record themselves and share it so people can see how fast they move! They were done with all of my belongings in less than the 2 hours, which the movers I hired to load my truck could not do, which resulted in me finishing the back of my truck. I shared my awful experience with them and was told that they would have done both in 3 hours same time. I just can’t say enough of about how professional, accommodating, and respectful they are through the entire experience, which also relieves the stress of the entire moving process. They told me that I don't need to anything but just relax and know it will all get done. I asked how we are doing on time, and was told we focus on just completing jobs. In fact, they did just that too! Arrived 30 minutes ahead just to make sure they were ready, and were willing to start whenever was I ready so I didn’t feel rushed. They are also lighthearted, kind, and have a great sense of humor, which is an added bonus. Hiring them is A MUST!

Very fast and polite, unfortunately there was some damage (something I was moving was very difficult), maybe could have used a bit more care. Other than that though they did a great job.

One worker was delayed but when they arrived they worked hard and fast, unloaded the pod in about an hour. Very pleasant, asked where we wanted things, moved and unwrapped things, we were happy with the service they supplied.

Very nice and friendly; worked hard. Didn’t come with any moving equipment. Broke a file box, didn’t say anything, and concealed it. A personal file was left on the floor in the hallway. Loaned moving equipment from building left in two pieces in random locations. Would provide more oversight if used again.

The crew was early, worked hard and generally did a good job. They were a little too energetic at times, taking boxes before we had finished packing them, and rushing us along. I am missing two tools, an Opinel knife and a Leatherman multi-tool. Since I won't get my PODS back for months, I won't know for certain if I still have them. But I had them out where I could use them while we were moving and didn't have them after the crew departed for the day.

My movers showed up early and were ready to go!! They came with materials to wrap furniture without me even asking for them to bring. They worked well together and didn't mind even moving some items within the house. I will definitely use these guys again!!
