In their own words
I was planning a move on 6-26-2020. I was moving from one apartment to another within the same apartment community. I scheduled a time online for labor only, 2 men for 2 hours to arrive on 6-26-2020 at 2:00 p.m. and I reserved a UHaul to be picked up by myself at 1:00 p.m. on 6/26/2020 so that everything would be ready when they arrived at 2. I scheduled this appointment on 6-10-2020.
Hello and thank you for the review. The information you provided is somewhat accurate but not totally. You ordered 3 men then changed to 2 men which I corrected and yes you receieved enail for 3 men afterwards, however, those are auto generated and I assured you that 2 men would come.
Edit in response to company post: What a childish response and ABSOLUTELY FALSE!!! Just own the fact your team screwed up, you weren't there and the guys who chose to lie during the move are still lying to save face. Zero professionalism again. There was not a single ding in the wall prior to your arrival. I took pictures. The bed was moved in by relocation professionals with zero problems. Odor complaints on me? Haha nice try. What is that the Pee Wee Herman defense? I know you are but what am I?
Dear maam, Thank you for bring this to our attention. We are so sorry to hear of your experience. Even though some parts of your claim may be true, most are not quite accurate. We were running behind that day and thats why we have an hour window for arrival as some jobs take longer than we expect.
I am not a bot, Bruce. I am a recent customer who had a very bad experience. I was only going to leave a low rating to avoid conflict, but at this point that is a disservice to any future potential clients. So here it is: The movers showed up 50min late, which was fine until the first thing I was asked upon arrival was if I had a boyfriend or a husband. After the movers openly argued about how everything should be moved they asked me for an extension cord to tie my bed up which they then tossed out my window.
Another final thought after looking at your reviews With other companies; 5 of them being positive 4 of them being negative... I usually do not continue a conversation when it has escalated to this point.
I booked this company to help me move from my second floor apartment to my house. I decided that I would try to save some money by moving all of the boxes and small items myself and then have them move the large, heavy items. When they showed up, one of the movers got out and instantly told me that I had booked a larger truck than what I needed and the other looked to be about 15 years old even though the owner told me that he was 18.
Well I was waiting on this type of a review and was wondering what I would say if a negative review is left by you sir and I'm just going to State the true facts which are as follows- customer did not state that items wer large in size and overweight and required special equipment and possibly even…
I'm confused by all these positive reviews. My move was scheduled from 12pm-2pm. I called at 12:30, 1:30 and at 2pm. I got a bunch of excuses including bad weather (no rain, no snow but it was February). Finally they show up at 2:30. They come in and go back outside to the truck. then some woman comes over and brings them sandwiches. They eat in the front yard and then come in with a little 5 year old. Maybe 20 minutes after they first arrive they start moving the stuff to the truck.
Update - 4/29/2020. Hello. Trying to see if you plan on paying us... You wont return our calls and service was completed. When will you be paying us? I do want to wait until all this is over with the stay at home orders. Please let me know.
Original review in photos along with owners original Google response. *Update* The response I received to this comment is honestly hilarious with how he proved his lack of accountability on top of all of the dishonesty that he included. 1. Maybe your ratings are as high as they are because you continuously report the negative ones you don’t want to Google for them to remove. 2.
Obviously a scam from a competitor. Who would put this much effort into a fake reservation; This is perhaps the most desperate attempt to bully somebody. A woman calls out of despert need to have her items. Unloaded, we respond and she cancels without notice.
They never showed up. I booked my appointment (2 hours of moving help) a week in advance. I received an automated email from the company a day before my move to confirm. Everything seemed normal. I called them a couple times the day before to confirm again, but the phone went to voicemail and I was unable to leave a message as their voice mailbox was full. I also sent a text message a couple days before my move to confirm the price and payment methods. They never responded.
Hello and sorry for the trouble. We said we were running behind about 1 hour behind and you decided to cancel. You did not give us the opportunity to show up
Frustrated and disappointed. Unfortunately, we had a terrible experience with this moving company last week. First - DONT TRUST THE QUOTE. Bruce the owner quoted the job for me without gathering any information besides square footage of house and number of appliances, and did not scope the job. As someone who has never hired movers before, I didn't know what was normal, but have since learned most companies will either come scope the job or do much more thorough information gathering to give an accurate quote.
I thought that I replied to this A. While back but apparently I did, I did not. The fact of the matter is that when we finished the job, nothing was said and one payment was made immediately for the amount of hours and extra manpower that we provided.

In their own words
Had an overall good experience with Moving Help Columbus Ohio on two separate occasions. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone needing help moving items—especially on short notice. The scenario: A loved one took a fall on Christmas Eve, and we needed to quickly rearrange their home to make it safer for recovery, including converting a first-floor room into a bedroom. The good: I reached out early the morning after Christmas and spoke directly with the owner, Bruce.
The guys showed up on time ready to work. They listened to my plans for their time and were receptive to how I would like things done. Assisted with lifting the couch over the railing of my 2nd story apt, no damage to it at all. Packed my POD tightly like a great Tetris game while keeping it at their 2 hour time I had asked of them. Great team and great price. 100% recommend them for the job!
Thank you and I'm glad you had a great experience.
GREAT moving company!! We had hired a different moving company initially to move us on a Friday morning and the company cancelled on us after waiting for them for 4 1/2 hours. Frantically I started searching for another moving company that would be able to move us on short notice. I got a hold of Bruce & his company and they were AMAZING. They were able to move our entire apartment & storage unit to our brand new home 1 day after I scheduled with them!!
On July 25, they moved all the belongings from my two-bedroom apartment from Columbus, Ohio, to my new home in the Philadelphia area. As promised, they completed the entire move flawlessly, including transporting my car safely along with all of my household items. Mr. Bruce, his wife, and their assistant made the entire journey with me in their truck. They treated me like family throughout the trip, making what could have been a stressful move a pleasant and memorable experience.
