1-star Google reviewNatural H.8 months ago
I did not have the best experience with this company. I was quoted a 148.50 an hour and given an estimated time of 2 hours. The company sent over two men who were very friendly but it became obvious that they planned on milking the clock. When I complained the owner showed up yelling, bullying and threatening to take a lunch with all of my items on the truck. When I didn’t back down from the owner Israel, he flipped the script and started talking about God and family.

we appreciate you taking the time and placing a review honest feedback would be. We have heard nothing about damage steps when I got out to the move me the owner. I realize The Men had some difficult logistics going to the third floor with bulky oversize sofas, and other furniture.

1-star Google reviewVictor S.3 years ago
This company is a scam! My original quote was for 6 hours of moving. I spoke to multiple people and explained I had a 2 bed 2 bath apartment (upstairs) and moving from FL to GA (3.5 hours away). I was informed of a flat rate for the move and that the 6 hours was for any packing they would do and to get it loaded in the truck. The quote was for $2480. Flate rate was $450 and the hourly was $170. I was sent an email back in May that quoted differently and called multiple times to verify the correct amount.

One-half of my belongings were not delivered to my home from the storage by Helping Hands Express movers. Only one of many boxes of my clothes was delivered. One plastic bin was delivered. Only one box with three appliances were delivered. Simple things like my iron, electric can opener, toaster; think of things in the kitchen like silverware, pots, pressure cooker, cast iron skillets did not get delivered.

Ma’am , we apologize if you still feel frustrating, but as I explained to you, our truck was empty the next morning every morning our trucks are cleaned out and there was nothing there.

I would not recommend anyone use this company. It took them about 10 hours to move a 3 bedroom home. I was charged over $1700 when i had expected many fewer hours. I actually picked up things myself and carried to the truck while 2 of the men stood around. The manager phoned me and wanted to come see the way things were unloaded into my storage shed…which was simply throw things in and stack with no order. I have many antiques and other nice items that were not covered with the moving blankets that i own.

I tried to come out on the day of the move. Your response was you did not want me out there at that time. So I spoke with my men they were ok with finishing the job and we made the decision that I would come out afterwards. You mentioned you were leaving town and you will call when you get back.

1-star Google reviewDavid H.9 months ago
I hired Helping Hands to help my Son finish packing our apartment and load the Uhaul I rented. Yesterday they were hired. I was given a 11:00 to 1:00 show up window. They were not only late but still tied up on another job. After I called one last time I was told that they were half done unloading their truck from another move. By this time me , my son and daughter in law had the stuff packed and 1/3 loaded. I said cancel the order. Money saved. My suggestion is have enough crews to meet the daily demands.

David, we apologize for not being able to keep it in the window timeframe we allotted for our arrival. However, we are glad you got moved. Safe travels and enjoy your new adventures. Owner Israel V

The worst movers on the planet.,complaining as they worked opened up my boxes and I don’t understand as I see my things didn’t want to move my things to my second level, I told the lady in the office when I made the appointment that I needed a 26 in truck, 3 workers, moving from 2nd floor to a townhouse approximately 6 hours the older man was so hostile and very disrespectful to me,I gave these men a very good tip each because that the kind of person I am, if I tipped them for the quality of the job they did they…
Reply from the business

Ms Roberts. We are truly sorry that you did not have a great experience on your move. Our crews are trained and conditioned to go to the 2nd and 3rd floors on moves and that should have never been a concern or an issue and we can not apologize enough for the unprofessionalism.

1-star Google reviewJo N.3 months ago
Covering foreman very rude, argumentive, unable to explain the process and pricing. In stating add on services and the link with my estimate, he did not say the add one were already included in the estimate. It was not until I phoned into the office that this was clarified and even the owner was argumentative although he had better customer skills than the Movers. Another crew is being sent ASAP but I booked early due to scheduled appointment that I will now miss.

We apologize for any confusion that may have occurred. We also hope you have a wonderful day and enjoy your new home.

5-star Google reviewJessica S.3 years ago
Outstanding service. I scheduled them for 2 days later and they were on time, extremally professional and moved everything with no issue. All of my items got to my destination with no damage and they put everything together quick. Sometimes when getting paid by the hour they seem to take their time, these guys were very thorough and yet moved quickly and got things done. Very communicative about appointment time, arrival, breaks and getting to the new location. I would highly recommend them.

Original Review (May 2024): Everything that could go wrong about my relocation from PA … DID ! Meeting with Logan, Travis, and Vova the day I was set to move out of my storage unit and into my apartment, was the ONLY thing that went right ! They were early to arrive, very professional and efficient throughout the entire process. They communicated everything thoroughly and there were no hidden fees or any extra spending after completion.

5-star Google reviewMike M.6 years ago
I chose Helping Hands because of the rave reviews. My expectations were exceeded! Brandon, Javon, and Adam were awesome. Brandon's leadership and customer service from the entire team was exceptional. The team communicated with each other, stayed organized, where on time and extremely friendly. These bright young men were extremely professional, giving me advice, thinking through how to lift heavy furniture upstairs.
