Description of Work: We used one of the Angies List coupons for the service and the coupon was for 3hrs of labor and indicated that it included travel time to our move. However, at the end of the move we were also dinged again for travel time back from our move, which was not previously disclosed. Obviously this increased the cost of the move significantly, making said deal not much of a deal.

Description of Work: They aerived an hour late and wanted to charge for that hour. They almost didn't include the Angie's list coupon and wanted to charge more.They charged me for supplies that we're not used and we're disinterested in putting the furniture together.

Description of Work: The crew arrived on time and was friendly and polite. The work was preformed timely. My only negative was it was not made clear to me when discussing my home's contents that the appliances would require an additional fee of $20 each. I would definitely refer others to this company.

Description of Work: Very punctual. Very professional. Got things done in fairly good time. Did a very good job at packing up my dishes and kitchen items. Also very friendly. Would highly recommend them to anyone moving. My only complaint is that they charge for the time it takes them to get back to the warehouse. Most places don't do that. Other than that, it was a great experience.

Description of Work: They moved furniture from a house I own in Westwood to another house in Yarmouth. They were very careful movers and not a bit of damage resulted. They kept up a good pace all day and completed the entire job in one day, including moving four rooms of furniture into the house inYarmouth.

Description of Work: Their tactic is to threaten a lawsuit by saying that one of Their workers got hurt on the job. So be aware if you are following up with them for damages resulting from their moving furniture.

Response from Stairhopper Movers
Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us. We don't use any manipulative tactics and we base our business on customer care and high transparency. The truth is that our employee actually got injured while performing the job for your tenant as the team had to work in a hazardous environment, including and not limited to, the unsafe condition of the stairs. The fact that one of the steps broke while the guys were doing the job, it's not the team's fault or ours, however neither us nor the guy who got injured asked for any compensation from you or threatened to sue you or anybody else as we do know that accidents happen. So just to clarify, as we mentioned before we are aware that accidents can happen and if we break something during the job, we are fully responsible for that and we will always fix or cover for the damaged item, but the fact that the staircase on your property was not safe enough to perform the move is not a matter of liability on our end.

Description of Work: They showed up on time and worked hard. The only hiccup was that I was expecting a 16 foot truck, which would fit in the driveway, and they showed up in a 26 foot truck, so they had to park illegally across a fire hydrant and some driveways a little down the street. Its a small thing, but that lack of communication slowed down the packing up of the truck, and could have caused bigger issues had there not been any street space available.

Description of Work: Overall the move went well. They aren't the fastest movers I've used, but not the slowest either. Initially for moves, I pick the cheapest movers. But given I had recently purchased an expensive sofa, and a really nice glass coffee table I figured go with Stairhoppers, after seeing all the positive reviewers. The guys, carried a really heavy full size sofa bed, down 7 flights of stairs because it couldn't fit on the elevator and up another 3 flights to my new move in space. Overall, they did a good job! I would recommend their services to a friend.

Response from Stairhopper Movers
Dear [Member Name Removed], Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us. The deal you purchased had a limitation, it could not be used between August 10th and September 5th and your move was initially scheduled on August 10th which was fine, but then you changed the date for August 24th. The time limitation was clearly listed in the terms and conditions of the deal, so it shouldn't have been a surprise. In the same time, you've mentioned in the review that "there were some hidden costs for supplies" - we never hide information from our customers, we actually base our business on transparency and customer care, that's why we have everything listed in the confirmation email you received at the time of booking and also in the fine prints of all our deals. In spite of all these, we hope you had a nice experience moving with us. Thank you once again for your feedback and for considering Stairhopper Movers for your move!

Description of Work: They moved a large piece of furniture from a storage facility to our home. While they were at our storage facility we asked them if they could remove a few items we no longer needed. They contacted their office, charged us a small extra fee, and took the items away . They handled everything with great care, and were great to work with.
