The rating breakdown

Worked out from 22 ratings. That is enough to publish but few enough that one more review moves it noticeably, so read it as a hint rather than a measurement.

1-star Google reviewStephanie W.2 years ago
DO NOT USE! Broke or seriously damaged the legs on most of the chairs and tables. The large furniture is what I thought would make it. I was so wrong. I watched two of the loaders throw boxes up onto other boxes to reach unreachable heights in the truck. One box had glass in it as a could hear the items shatter when they did it. Too late to video. Guessing the box had the Haviland China or ceramic cat as those were the only items smashed to bits.

Filled out there online form and heard back from Julie very quickly. Spoke to her on the phone and sent the inventory list she requested. Waited a could of days but never heard back. Called and left her a message, but I never heard from her again.

I have had two moves so far in the Army. This second move has prompted me to never again put my valuables in the hands of strangers. I don't know what kind of person thinks that packing boxes upside down inside other boxes makes sense, nor what kind of person thinks that OPENED LIQUIDS should be wrapped in the same box and wrapping paper as ELECTRONICS. Those kinds of people work here though. I called Hutchcraft during business hours for accountability or some sort of explanation on this.

By far one of the worst experiences. The moving coordinator moved the loading day on the morning the packers were scheduled to come. Packers were supposed to be available for 2 days but only wanted to stay for 1 day. Upshot was that I had …

We apologize for any miscommunication. Carefully reviewing the documentation, we had only one day reserved for packing. Also, by allowing the moving crew to come in advance of the move, this gives us sufficient time to prepare and protect your home, to begin the inventory process of your…

Professional, experienced, efficient and cost effective!! I had a great experience on my recent move across 4 states in January. My driver kept me updated on details and the men assisting him with packing were courteous and careful with my belongings. I used this company on my prior move and will continue using them in the future!!

Hutchcraft is wonderful. Julie in the office never was upset with all of my questions. Justin, the driver was amazing. He labeled every item and was so careful with our things. Travis and Ryan, the crew were so helpful. I couldn't be happier with Hutchcraft Van Service!
