They called the day before to verify everything and I told him that the pod had come and he offered to have the guys come out and unload it that night, which is perfect. Can’t thank them enough. They did an awesome job.

Amazing, surveyed our mess and the POD, then got to work. So professional, not only were they earlier than we expected, but friendly, info on local sights, AND unloaded our POD full of huge items in no time. I was happy to pay the 2-hour minimum for their 45-min job - so worth every penny. Highly Highly recommend ????

Movers | Moovit or Loozit Moving
The movers were not here on time. They were at least 1.5 hours late. The was no call to tell us what was going on. I asked for help from Movers Marketplace and received no help. I had to call the company directly. This is the 2nd time this has happened. When the moving company showed up the guys were awesome! They were friendly and really wanted to help. They made sure we didn't need help in setting something up before the left. They were super nice and professional. Thank you so much for making the actual move a great experience!!!

They did a great job. They moved a heavy stand alone boxing bag upstairs and went above and beyond by laying out the floor mats before placing the bag in the room. The mattress was deformed from storage and with no ask of me they rearranged the memory foam to level it out. Great service!! I highly recommend using this company.

The guys did a great job and really hustled. However it seems they business over booked them and they were nearly four hours late. Again the workers called earlier to let me know they were over booked and running late.

Movers | Lake Coeur d'Alene Movers
The two movers who came out to help us were awesome. They came within the window as expected and immediately got to work. They barely even took a water break in the time they were with us! They moved many heavy items up and down staircases and were careful of our furniture and the house. They were able to work out how to get a trickily large piece of furniture into a tight opening which saved us a lot of time disassembling. They assembled furniture too before they left. We needed extra time and they said no worries and kept working! All this and we booked them the day before. Kind and respectful throughout. We had some tough to get along with family members around and they still remained professional and respectful. Would definitely recommend!

The crew from Burnett's did a stellar job! Hired them to unload a moving truck into a storage unit and they worked quickly but also carefully. They even arrived a little early so that they could start right on time. Asked tons of questions when unloading so that things were placed where I could access them, with a nice walkway through the unit. Will certainly look to book these guys again when moving into my new home.
