They came in and assessed what needed to be moved which was everything in a three bedroom house plus full garage of items that were stored and not unpacked. They worked continuously with only a short lunch break and completed the entire job of loading and unloading in approximately 7 hours. It was two full truck loads.
They were very patient unloading and moving furniture where we wanted it and made some helpful suggestions when we did not know exactly were things should go as it was a new house and we had not spent a lot of time figuring out were things would fit.
Only one item was slightly damaged and it was a vase we had intended taking in the car but forgot.
Overall we were very happy with the service and cost.
I generously tipped each of them and they were most appreciative. Their service is so much more personalized than the big van companies I have used in the past and a lot more reasonable.
They are extremely polite, will work with you and really do put the
customer first as best as they know how/can. The men working our job were English speaking and hard working. I felt very comfortable having them in my home.
I feel that their only 'negative' is that they seem rather inexperienced. I was surprised to learn that they'd been doing this for a couple of years because some of the 'basics' they just didn't do.
My husband and I have moved numerous times; too numerous to count--both in-town moves and out of town moves and so we've dealt with all sorts of movers.
Some of the things I noticed with this company that were 'little red flags' to me:
They did not really wrap the furniture. They simply laid pads over it once it got in the truck. We were expecting them to really wrap it up good, tape around the wrap and have it solidly wrapped, but they hauled everything out to the truck unwrapped and then just threw padding over it very haphazardly. I was quite nervous.
They didn't remove the glass shelves from my cd cases. I have 3 cd cases and each case has 6 long glass shelves with glass doors. Not only did they not wrap any of the glass, they didn't remove the glass shelving, and just carried the units out to the truck. If they had dropped anything, it would have shattered in an instant. Again, I felt this demonstrated inexperience.
They actually did remove the glass shelves from my china cabinet because I asked them to and after watching the young man balance one piece of glass shelving on his knee as it nearly slid down his leg as he tried to hold onto the other, I nearly lost my breath. I asked if I could help him and he said that he was ok...but he barely rescued my shelf. I wanted to suggest that maybe next time he simply take one glass shelf out at a time rather than trying to balance them with one hand on one leg....!
On my large bookshelves, they did remove the shelves but they left all the pegs for the shelves in the peg holes. Had I known this I would have insisted that they take those out, too because you loose one of those in the truck and it's gone forever. I was really surprised that they just left all of the pegs for all 19 shelves in the holes and that it never occured to them that those needed to be removed and secured!!
They also did not bring any tape. In all of our years doing moves, we've never known a moving company to show up and not have tape to use to futher secure boxes, to secure padding, etc. We ran out an bought some when ours ran out but again, quite surprised they didn't have a single roll of tape in the truck!
Lastly, they didn't wrap anything on our mattresses, so our mattresses were put into the truck unprotected, and they were slide over the front porch (we have a king size so it is hard to carry it the whole way) as it entered the home. I was worried about tearing and of course, dirt.
I just felt that they have a lot to learn when it comes to the basics of moving people's belongings and they were very lucky that things went smoothly for us. We did have 2 items get broken but in any move, something is bound to get broken...I'm much more concerned about the 'basics' not being covered.
I think if I were to hire them again, I would go over some very specific details with them; things that I normally assume 'go without saying' but in this case they did not.
I also want to reiterate how incredibly nice and polite these young men were. You could not ask for a better group of polite young men to help you move. And I think that, in the end, that made up for a lot of their seeming lack of experience.
"I was very sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with the move that we performed for you on Friday November the 2nd. We work very hard in an effort to provide every customer with a perfect experience. In fact, we recently won the Angie’s List Super Service Award for 2012 making us one of the top rated moving companies in Kentucky! We achieved twenty -two A ratings in 2012 with your rating being the only B. In your Angie’s List review you listed several ‘red flags’ that indicated to you a lack of experience. I would like apologize for the improper handling of the bookshelf pegs and glass shelves. Although neither was lost or broken I do not like to hear that we made you so nervous in the first place. So, I take ownership and apologize for that. The issues of padding and providing tape are, in my opinion, completely unfair. We pad everything in the truck for two reasons: 1) So that we can maneuver through the house more quickly and easily. 2) So that we can stack items in the truck as efficiently as possible The bulk of the padding makes both more difficult. Please remember that we did not damage anything that you believed should have been padded in the house. Also, we have offered to pay for the damage to your office chair with no pictures or proof of any damage. That offer still stands. On the issue of the tape… we would of course bring tape and all other packing materials if we were doing a packing and moving job. We only did a moving job for you and so would have no reason to bring tape. All boxes should have already been taped properly. We rely on straps to secure all padding and keep several dozen straps in all trucks. The end result is that we moved everything in your 5500 square foot home in less than 5 hours for $1000! That should be applauded! I will conclude this letter with your closing quote and a plea for you to alter your review to reflect our company in a more accurately positive light. “I also want to reiterate how incredibly nice and polite these young men were. You could not ask for a better group of polite young men to help you move.” Please feel free to call me with any questions or to discuss.

So, long story short, I can totally recommend Wildcat Moving to anybody since I know IF something were to go wrong, there is an owner who wants to make it right for you.
"Thank you for your wonderfully kind comments. I work very hard to ensure that every customer is completely satisfied at the end of every move. We are locally owned and operated and are always looking for ways to improve our relationship with the community. Using local businesses creates relationships between neighbors and helps to build communities. The people who live and work in proximity to us share common goals and interests, such as keeping our neighborhoods safe and clean. We rely on each other in emergencies, and we see each other on the street and at the store. By supporting businesses owned and run by people within our community we create an extra layer of interdependence, and we make our daily relationships deeper and more meaningful. If you purchase a service from a business headquartered 2000 miles away, you can be sure that the company doesn't genuinely care about whether it performed up to your expectations, although they may follow good business practices and take responsibility for poor service. But if you buy something from your neighbor they're more likely to be genuinely accountable because they just may see you at Fayette Mall, Beaumont Kroger or at the next UK basketball game....GO BIG BLUE! So remember, by using local products and services, we do our part to build local economies. If we spend our money with a corporation, at least some of the profit from that transaction goes to a company at some distant location. But when we support local businesses, the proprietors are more likely to spend the money they make from our purchase at another local business. In this way we keep our money in our own communities, building a local economy that enriches everyone involved. So, thanks again for the business and remember that all Wildcat Group companies are locally owned and operated. Warmest Regards, Raleigh (RJ) Bruner President The Wildcat Group Wildcat-Group.com WildcatMoving.com WildcatWashing.com WildcatFurnitureRepair.com"
"I am very happy to hear that you were satisfied with both our Home Inspection and Moving companies! We work very hard to ensure that every customer has a good experience.
