Description of Work: Team of 3 guys who moved all of the stuff. Very nice. Customer service was really good. Packed the truck really tight, a few things did break. But they gave $20 for the damages. Made an effort to fix what happened. thought they did a great job. Would recommend.

Description of Work: Moving is never a pleasant experience, but 1st Choice was great to deal with. They were on time, very professional, handled our furniture with care, and the price was as quoted with no hidden fees. I would use them again with no hesitation at all. | |

Description of Work: 1st choice helped me move items into a storage unit. While I had most things packed up, they wrapped all my furniture that I had not wrapped myself and were careful when loading and unloading the truck. I have used other movers in the past year, and 1st choice really will be my first choice when I need moving services again.

Description of Work: They were very courteous and helpful every step of the way. I moved out of a 4th Floor apartment with a terrible (1960's) elevator, into a 3 story condo, with some very heavy and expensive furniture. They didn't damage anything and kept moving even with the challenge of all the stairs in the new condo.

Description of Work: I used them because they had a deal on Angie's list. They were no where near as courteous as the movers I had used before them, MSJ Delivery. They broke my suitcase, scratched my sofa and scratched a vintage bar cabinet that was the one thing I had specifically asked them to be extra careful with. Their pricing was super affordable, but in this case, you get what you pay for. 1st Choice will not be my first choice next time I move.

Response from 1st Choice Movers
I'm sorry you were disappointed in the move my company did for you, almost a year ago. We take great pride in our customer service and the work done by my highly trained movers. Unfortunately, you did not contact me after your move, to let me know your concerns. Therefore, I was unable to remedy the situation then, and there is nothing I can do now, a year later. Kind regards, Derek Parker / Owner

Description of Work: Helped us move from our apartment over to a nearby community, about 5 miles between locations. Our three movers showed up 10 minutes early and took the time to wrap items, handle with care, and perform work in a timely manner. We had to work between frequent rain and one major downpour during our move date. I would highly recommend and use them again.
