The rating breakdown

Worked out from 49 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 reviewJames S.a year ago
I wish I couple share all the nasty details but this company quoted $41+K for a state to state move, stopped my shipment half-way (hostage?), then demanded a total of $85+K in cash or they would turn around and put my stuff in storage till I paid. My final shipment included boxes from other clients, broken stuff, missing stuff, feces (long story), and other problems.

WORST MOVING EXPERIENCE!!!! Things were broken, the one mover got so drunk the night and cramped during the move so bad that he couldn’t drive the truck, took our mustard, NAPPED for 2 hours in the truck, then decided to help. Then they …

5-star Google reviewKris I.3 years ago
I was in need of a super-quick move. I contacted them and they were able to fit me in on my tight timeline. The crew was AMAZING! They arrived on time, were friendly and polite. We were moving some antique furniture and artwork that we were …

Kris thanks for this review and your business. I cannot add much to this review, we are professional movers and everything you say confirms that. Thanks again.

5-star Google reviewAndy P.2 years ago
These guys are fast, but also careful with your belongings. They aren’t reckless fast. They still take time to wrap everything up nicely, and they are careful with everything like it’s their own. They have all the logistics down pat to make sure it goes as smoothly as possible. One tip I’d like to give everyone is make sure they see your electronics work before they move it. I have an electric couch that they disassembled and unplugged, and it wasn’t working at my new townhome.
Reply from the business

Andy thanks for the review and your business. In the moving business slow is fast. Our goal is always no breakage. I am glad to hear the couch is OK. Often it is the guys first time seeing a piece and they get a little flustered. Thanks … More

5-star Google reviewLloyd H.a year ago
Lloyd and I were very impressed when the 'Guys' moved us from New Kent to Lancaster PA in December. Their care and respect for our belonging was amazing. They were very friendly, and we would like to say thank you to all the men.
