Great Day Moving

Moving is so stressful, but hiring a company to take the load of your shoulders is so helpful. I found Dana and the entire staff so helpful, friendly and professional. I will never move my self again and will always use and recommend Great Day Moving.

My clients always report great things. I am truly grateful.

It went well but they were supposed to be there between 1 and 3 and they arrived at 3:20, so that interfered with my plans for the day. When they arrived, 3 guys came so it only took 30 minutes. I had thought they would arrive around 1pm because that is when it was scheduled, so it was a surprise when my colleague got a call the night before the move they they could arrive anytime between 1 and 3.

The 3 man crew was very friendly and professional. They moved all of our furniture and boxes without breaking anything. They were very knowledgeable on how to maneuver large pieces of furniture through tight spaces and up stairs. I would definitely use Great Day Movers again in the future.

Because my move was only 12 miles from the departing residence to the arrival residence with an 8-mile swing over to a storage unit, Great Day estimated the move would only take about 4 hours with 4 guys. Given this estimate, they were to arrive anytime between 12 noon and 2pm the day of the move. I was, frankly, rather anxious about the move for two reasons: 1) My last experience with a moving company was very difficult as the moving company had damaged the doorways at both the departing and arriving residences and were not honest about the repairs; and 2) the weather was very foreboding the day of my move. We planned to meet at the storage unit first. About 2pm, it started to thunder, lightning and lightly rain. About 2:10pm when I tried calling Great Day to find when they would arrive. I did not have their cell number and given it was Saturday, the office was closed. We eventually connected when they called to find where I was. We found that their internet directions led them to a different location then where I was waiting. However, we eventually connected, and the men began working swiftly. They were very personable and chatted about how much they loved their work, the company and the owner. Within 30 minutes or so, the storage unit was empty, and we traveled to the departing residence. Again, the men set right to work. Every item they were to take had a certain colored-post-it note on it. Just as they completed moving out all the items, it began pouring rain. At the arriving residence, the rain continued to pound down, but they happily carried on, very concerned about putting all items in the right rooms. Because of the rain, the owner sent another fellow over to help, but did not charge me extra for the extra hand. Completion time was a little over four hours so the estimation was basically correct. Throughout the move, the guys were concerned I would have a positive experience, and I did. I would use this moving company again and highly recommend them.

I asked to speak to his boss he said that is what he pays me. Never use them they left me in a lurch and my move cost double and will take 3 times more time to complete.

We had Great Day Moving (GDM) help us with moving large furniture and appliances from our large home to a smaller villa about 3 miles away as part of our downsizing. We had used GDM and their predecessor company several times in the past with good service, so chose them again without comparison to anyone else. Our experience this time was not very good as we had several issues. One was that there were too many workers for the size of the job (we had six men and two trucks nearly all day). This was complicated by our leaving some furniture behind in the large home for an estate sale at a later date. We had trouble keeping up with providing directions to so many men. Another was that two or three of the men were very experienced in furniture moving, but they were training most of the rest while on our job. The inexperience resulted in confusion, too much time just sitting around, and some damage to the furniture. Several items needed to be repaired, including a refrigerator door handle missing screw (which was hard to find a replacement), deep scratches on top of a china cabinet base, rubbed areas on a blue leather sofa, and small rubs on several other pieces of furniture. The day of the move we noted most of these damages to the movers (we did find some more a little later that day). But we did not hear from GDM about repairs for two days, and we had to call them and argue awhile. A subcontractor came to fix the refrigerator handle, but he told us the next day that he was no longer working for GDM. We then had to contact GDM about who was going to make the repairs, and they came back with a name and number the next day. When we contacted that subcontractor, he told us he was so busy that it would be 2-3 weeks before he could get to us. After much discussion with him, he improved the schedule by a few days. (He had a good reputation, so we wanted to use him). When the work was completed it was about a month after the moving day. We also learned that the second subcontractor did not do leather repairs, and he had given some names to GDM, from whom we never received this information. We found a recommended subcontractor to repair the blue leather couch, who did excellent work. We sent the bill to GDM and were reimbursed within a few days. Bottom line for us is that GDM was not as professional and experienced as we expected. And their followup on the damaged furniture was very poor and unprofessional.

Very efficient and professional. Day started at 7 and was done before noon. Have stuff boxed and marked where it goes because they move fast. They were very careful and no damage was done to furniture. Very nice guys.

They were on time and professional, and the furniture arrived safely.

The movers damaged some of the furniture, and they stated it was like that when they picked it up. The storage warehouse, however, denied any wrongdoing. I found this to be a bit frustrating, but the movers did send someone to make repairs.

The movers were great and worked hard but obviously they were paid little and overworked and not given enough help to do the job effectively.

They were priced reasonable, quick, and hard working, they were just a little in-experienced.

Long story short, logistics were a nightmare and we only had a 12hr window to move. We took possession of the new house at 7pm and had to be out of our house by 7am the next morning. We were told we would be the last move of the day around 2-4 and that everything would fit in one truck. Well, they wanted to come start loading the truck at 11am and everything did not fit in one truck. When they realized everything wouldn't fit in one truck they wanted to charge us to bring out another truck. We said no since it wasn't in the original bid. They came out to our house and took inventory on everything we had and gave us a bid for only one truck which we expected them to stick to. We ended up having to call friends with trucks and didn't get done moving everything to the new house until about 2am. It was a long day. Especially since we had to get up the next morning for the movers to come unload the truck since they weren't allowed to unload it the same day.

These guys were great! Very polite and very careful. I could tell that they had been trained well.

Great Day Moving is a subsidiary company of Marathon Moving who we have used numerous times for our family moves. They arrived about 15 minutes late with a large truck and three workers. Immediately started removing and loading large items followed by smaller items and boxes. Some waiting time due to slow elevator at independent living residence. Unloaded into smaller space at assisted living residence, with excess furniture and boxes moved to a nearby basement garage of family member. All three workers had great attitudes. Took care with all furniture and boxes. Respectful of 95 year old resident who was moving, as well as his daughter and her husband who were helping. Overall move took a little longer than planned, and cost a little more partially due to slow elevator and with moving excess furniture and boxes to nearby basement garage. We would definitely use them again.

OK... but not great.

Primarily because of the "workshop", the move required far more time and work than any of us anticipated. The move also took place on one of the hottest days of the summer. I cannot even begin to describe how hard the three young men worked. In spite of the heat and the very long day, the men remained extremely polite and pleasant and did everything they could to make sure that the job was completed to our satisfaction.
