Description of Work: They moved a small load of furniture from Raleigh to the Richmond, VA area. Everything went smoothly, everything was packed securely, and they arrived on time. They were friendly and courteous, and were careful with our shipment. The only disappointment was that they were not prepared to move an older, more fragile piano, although they advertise that they move pianos. I would recommend taking the time to discuss your specific requirements with a professional repairer before hiring a mover. Some pianos need additional precautions which some movers are not prepared to provide.

The company was very prompt in their reply that they would be unable to schedule our move in the week requested because they already had an out-of-state move scheduled.

Description of Work: Two gentlemen from Movers and Shakers arrived on time and went right to work. They demonstrated their knowledge and expertise.. and led us on how to pack the truck and the storage unit. They saved me additional money by getting all the house items into a single storage unit versus the 2 units I had planned. I would use this team anytime I needed to move.

Although Tom wasn?t able to come up with a solution for these complex moves, I will call him when other moves are required. He is wonderful, patient and really tries to some up with a reasonably affordable move option. To have spent that much time with me on the phone trying and going over so many options when no business was promised is indeed a wonderful recommendation I believe. Personal service just can?t be beat.
Description of Work: I needed to get some things from NC to Colorado but didn’t need an entire truck, rather a small portion of a truck. I was trying to figure out what my options were. I also wanted to get a large cradle from NC to Tampa, FL. I called Tom who worked and worked trying to figure out a way to make it possible to make these moves within a reasonable price. Tom actually came up with an option for the FL move but the person in Florida didn’t like that option (would have required some travel on their part). The Denver move would need a partially full truck already en route to make it feasible. Although Tom was not able to come up with solutions to either move, he was able to explain my options and he tried mightily to find a solution. In addition, Tom offered the single most important option for these moves: he personally supervises or drives each move. I have had parts of moves lost by people who were only loosely associated with the person I contracted with and it was a giant hassle getting the mover to find the missing parts. This would never be a problem with Movers Not Shakers given that Tom knows where everything is at all times and the drivers are his employees.

Description of Work: The crew moved all our heavy furniture, washer and dryer, and some workshop equipment.

Great!
Description of Work: Movers Not Shakers moved all the contents of our home from Apex to Fuquay-Varina. They arrived at the promised time and worked quickly and efficiently. They were very careful with all of our belongings. Tom, Willy and Vincent were professional and very friendly - making the move less stressful for us. Great price for the service provided. We would use them again and recommend them to others.

I hired Movers Not Shakers to help move myself and my fiance on the 16th of June. I made the appointment a good 3 weeks before that date. I asked if they would be available to work that day and I was told that yes they could but I would be the second move of the day and they wouldn't be over until 3 PM. That was fine with me so we waited for the date to move. On the 16th they called me around afternoon time and said they may be a little late because they were having a hard time with their first move of the day. They said they could be to my apartment by 5 o'clock instead of 3. I should have just rescheduled the move for the next day but they said they would be there to do the job and i trusted their word. About 4 o'clock we talked again and they changed the time to 5:30 then again to 6:00 about an hour later. Then they told me they still needed to be paid by their first customer and they were waiting for payment. It turns out they took a cash only customer and did without being paid for it up front and i was left waiting on them all day. While they were waiting for payment they asked me everything i had to move again and i made it very clear a rough estimate of around 30 boxes, 3 couches, an elliptical machine, a filing cabinet, and a bedroom set. They finally got to my house at 6:30, 3 and 1/2 hours after our original agreement. i helped them back the moving truck down our steep driveway and then i showed them around the apartment. After they looked at the things we had to move they said it would be very late before they would be done making it clear it would be around 1 o'clock in the morning. The level of professionalism, time management, and customer service exhibited by this company left much to be desired. They didnt offer anything except an apology and an offer to do the job the next day. I would say hire Mover not Shakers at your own risk. Updated Comment: It is interesting that the business owner was apologetic and accepted responsibility for the above situation in person when we expressed our dissatisfaction, and withdrew his apology on the internet, only to resort to calling us rude and selfish. We did tell him in person that he could expect a negative review since we do not believe in leaving such reviews about people/companies without first discussing it with the company. I only add that after being put in this position, we rented a truck and moved our remaining property by ourselves in three hours the next day.
Description of Work: I did not let them perform a service and i would recommend that if you decide to take a chance on a local small business as i did, make sure you are the only customer on their schedule for the day.

Response from Movers Not Shakers
As the owner of Movers Not Shakers-I-Tom Simpson-COMPLETELY withdrawl my apology to MEmber.He was told when I scheduled him 3pm was an ESTIMATED time of arrival-but I would call him at 10am (which I did) with a more accurate time.He was offered a free on site estimate-but INSISTED his stuff would only take 3 hours to move. We had a disabled elderly woman we needed to take extra time with scheduled ahead of him.NO-she wasn't cash only-she just insisted on paying in cash but didn't think about getting it until after the move was completed (and she was very sweet by the way!) EVERY time Member called-I answered and kept him informed.Yes-we did not arrive until 630pm.We looked around-and he had A LOT more stuff then what he said over the phone.Going to Durham with a STEEP driveway. ANY 2 professional movers would KNOW it was about a 6 hour move from start to finish.We told him we would do it but it would take until 1am.We offered to do it first thing the next morning.HE REFUSED BOTH. I honestly believe Member waited on purpose to try and get a 6 hour move done for a 3 hour charge. As he warned potential customers about booking us-I warn other moving companies about having him for a customer. I'm GLAD we didn't move him.We are very friendly professional movers who could do without selfish-rude customers. God Bless. Tom Simpson

They were punctual, professional, and a pleasure to work with. We are so happy with their service that we are planning to use them again when we move again in September to more permanent housing. Tom has also successfully moved my mother-in-law twice so we are very happy repeat customers. They are highly recommended!
Description of Work: Tom and has crew were able to move the contents of our house (plus a piano) to a townhome with a basement).

They arrived on time as promised. Took good care of furniture items in packing. Delivered promptly. Their price was about one third less than other companies quoted. Would definitely use them again;
Description of Work: Picked up furniture (antiques, estate closure) from a relative's house about 100 miles away and delivered to two different homes in Cary.
