Description of Work: Anchor Moving provided two men to load and pack and 15 foot uhaul trailer for me. We packed everything in boxes and had these two gentlemen move everything from a one bedroom apartment to the moving truck. They did an outstanding job loading and packing the truck. We made a 600 mile drive and found no damage when we unloaded. The two men completed the loading in just under 2 hours. I could not have been happier.

Description of Work: I've used them twice in the past two years. The first time I'd rate as A++. The movers were very punctual, worked quickly and were very helpful. I used them a second time expecting a similar experience and was disappointed. They were late, they were short one mover and sent a smaller truck requiring two trips. It was a much slower process.

I scheduled the initial date to move out of my house with Mike. He was my contact person for every phone call I made to Anchor. Twenty three hours before the initial move, I was notified the buyer's closing date was changed, and I would not be moving as scheduled: it would be delayed 3 days. I called Mike as soon as I found out about this, and he worked with me to reschedule the move. We also arranged to store ALL of my furniture and boxes on their truck until I had a closing date on my condo locked in. Wardrobes to hang my clothes, and boxes for lamps, were ordered. I AM SO VERY PLEASED WITH THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE. The same men involved in the two moves were the ones who came back to rearrange some of my heavy furniture. They were ALWAYS punctual and arrived on time as scheduled. All of them were professional, hard workers who were EXTREMELY patient with me. They were neat, clean, and respectful of my property. All of them were careful with the furniture and were aware that I did not want the wood floor scratched during the move. Their equipment to handle the furniture was in good condition and appeared to be high quality. These men work hard and fast. I have no idea how they were able to lift some of the boxes and furniture, but they deserve a tremendous compliment. They helped relieve the stress of the "moves". They are reliable, trustworthy, easy to work with, and very organized.
Description of Work: Anchor moved me twice. I sold and closed on my house on 12/2/2011, and moved out that day. I had not yet closed on my condo, and Anchor stored all my furniture and boxes on their truck. On 12/10/11, I moved into my new condo. The price, which is not exact, included moving out of my house; storing everything for one week; wardrobe rental, boxing of lamps, and moving me into my new home. One week later, as I was getting settled into my new home, I decided I wanted some of my heavy furniture "rearranged". The same men came back for a scheduled appointment and rearranged the heavy pieces for me. I had used Anchor in the past several years ago, and knew that I could rely on this company. They were the only company I called, even tho I had been bombarded with phone calls and mailings from other movers once my house was on the market. Mike is very organized, and gave me instructions for the move prior to the moving date. He ALWAYS returned my calls and answered every question I had.

They are incredibly flexible. They are very good workers and very hard workers. When they came, the people who were doing our roof hadn't finished doing our roof and the roofer's truck was on our driveway but the Anchor Moving guys just walked around it. They didn't back bite but they asked me if it was okay for them to take the furniture out on the lawn instead of the driveway because the truck was on the driveway. I asked them to do whatever worked for them. Their price was excellent. It was the best price because they gave me the weekday price for a weekend and it was a short notice too. The quality of work was excellent. Their responsiveness was very good. They were very punctual and they were there before the roofers were. They were very professional.
Description of Work: I used Anchor Moving Co on 19th of November for moving.

Anchor showed up on time, with 3 trucks and a 5 man crew. They moved us in record time. We have more stuff than the last time we moved 5 years ago - and moved in less time. They were able to do it all in one load (of the 3 trucks).

Anchor picked up our stuff, stored it for 20 days, and returned everything in one piece. They were really good. They will store your stuff at a cheap rate, which is great. They also use the same team that moved you out when they move you in so they are familiar with the stuff in the truck. They are cost effective and efficient.
Description of Work: Anchor Moving recently moved me into my new house. They moved us out of our old house and into our new one.

Everything went as planned from time of their arrival in Illinois to the delivery in Ballwin, Missouri.
Description of Work: Moved my mother's dining room table and hutch from Illinois. I am very particular and could not have asked for better service. Anchor was much lower on their pricing than 3 other companies I checked out. I was a bit apprehensive as their pricing was a lot lower than other companies I contacted, but they were very efficient and I definitely would use them again for moving..

My movers were Steve and Anthony and they were great. They were at my apartment on time and asked pertinent questions as we walked from room to room to observe the situation. I was looking for movers just to move my furniture. I moved boxes, smaller furniture, and a lot of other items on my own. They really hustled and did an excellent job protecting all of my old furniture. Luckily we had a warmer, sunny day for February. I did remove some of the drawers because there's bakelite hardware on some of the pieces and didn't want to chance it. I moved the drawers and some mirrored doors from other pieces myself a few days earlier, though my gut feeling thinks everything would have turned out just as well as it did. I did have all pieces labeled as to where they go once we got to the house which probably helped with the overall timing. They verified where furniture should be placed while unloading and were very pleasant the whole time and took care with loading/unloading/moving all of my items. I used Anchor in 1993, 2002, 2010 and would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Anchor moved my furniture, most of which is 70-85 years old, from my 3-room apartment to my first home. We also made a planned additional pick-up to my mother's house to pick up three larger items before going to my house.

The crew was about 15 minutes late to the first location but went right to work clearing a safe passage to the kitchen. They carefully moved furniture out of their path and removed the first range-a relatively light weight Hotpoint stand alone gas range. The crew met me at the second location-wasting no time along the way-and picked up a much heavier Kitchen Aid dual fuel range for transport back to the original location. Again, they were careful clear a safe passage from the kitchen to the truck. They also cheerfully picked up several more items not originally scheduled to be moved. After swapping out the ranges they headed back to the first location- again wasting no time. The crew carefully placed the Kitchen Aid range in the kitchen and then proceeded to put the furniture moved out of the way back to its original placement. Payment was made by credit card. Anchor Moving did a very nice job and I would hire again.
Description of Work: Anchor Moving disconnected and swapped gas ranges from two locations approximately 12 miles apart.

The owner of the company was extremely responsive and returned calls promptly. The movers were on time, extremely professional and helpful. They worked fast, and they worked very hard. We moved in August, and it was over 95 degrees on the day of our move, and the crews never took excessive breaks or tried to use the heat as an excuse for moving slowly. I would highly recommend them!
Description of Work: Moved the contents of my home and my new husband's home into a new house. Both houses were multi-story and included basements. We had two crews (6 movers total) and two trucks who did the work.

They were very good. Polite and competent service. I was surprised that movers did not have info on how to get to the final destination. I think Mapquest or a similar tool would be helpful.

I have hired Anchor Moving Company numerous times over the years for both home and office relocations. They always do an excellent job. With the recent move, Bill, Melvin, and Lamonte were very organized, efficient, careful, timely. They worked very well together as a team, and we all enjoyed some laughs along the way. Mike Winkler's crews are always great, and they do whatever is necessary for a good experience for the customer. Nothing over the years has ever been damaged. Anchor Moving will always be the one I call. Their rates are very good and the bill is explained at the end of the move, as well as rates given ahead of time when you schedule it. Always a good experience.
