My movers showed up yesterday on time and loaded the van quickly. Once at my new place, however, my furniture was dropped on the floor multiple times. They also left before I was able to get my bed frame together and I had to wrestle my …

5-star Google reviewNatalie B.a year ago
Ed and Yurick were fantastic to work with. Punctual, professional, friendly and efficient. They were very careful both with loading and unloading our belongings. I would highly recommend them anyone who is looking for movers.
5-star Google reviewMatt K.2 years ago
Family-owned and operated, which was a check on my list when vetting movers! Moved from Albany to Charlotte and Joe and his team did a great job. Tammy in the office supported us throughout the disassemble, pack, load, move, unload, assemble process. The price was worth it compared to any van lines estimate I received. Do you really want your stuff with someone else's for a long-distance move? Protocol has the trucks and labor to get anything you need done.

Euri and Jimmy were both EXCELLENT! They were efficient and worked as a team. They have a hard physical job but their attitude was like ....we are glad to be here and happy to help you with your new furniture. Both were friendly, sociable and strong!. If only all young guys had their attitude!
5-star Google reviewLaura M.a year ago
Excellent service! Couldn't be better. We would recommend this company and crew to anyone looking for a first class move. These guys really care about your possessions and you can trust everything will arrive in the same condition as when they packed it up. Friendly and experienced. Five Stars!
