Disappointed with these movers. Upon arrival they started complaining about how many loose items were unpacked (which was not really the case) and were generally discourteous, loud and not very efficient. Two of the workers spent a lot more talking than working... Carrying a load down to the truck and spending several minutes down there chatting before returning for another. The move took at least an hour longer than it needed to, and went over the estimate. In addition a piece of furniture was damaged en route. I would not recommend this service.
Description of Work: Moved a 3-bedroom apartment from Jersey City to Maplewood.

Response from Lincoln Storage Warehouse
AS OF THE DATE OF THIS RESPONSE, OUR CUSTOMER HAS NOT RETURNED CALLS TO DISCUSS THEIR ANGIE'S LIST RATING. AN EXPERIENCED EMPLOYEE DID DAMAGE A DELICATE SPINET PIANO. THAT WAS THE ONLY DAMAGE. PUNCTUALITY - WE ARRIVED AT 8:15AM WITHIN OUR GIVEN WINDOW. THIS WAS A 3RD FLOOR APARTMENT MOVE THAT WAS ESTIMATED AT 7 WORKING HOURS WITHOUT PACKING. THE CUSTOMER INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD PACK. WE WERE TO MOVE JUST BOXES AND FURNITURE. WHEN WE ARRIVED THEY HAD NOT FINISHED PACKING AND HAD LOOSE ITEMS AROUND THE APARTMENT. OUR CREW CONTACTED OUR OFFICE FOR INSTRUCTIONS AS POLICY. THE CUSTOMER WAS APPARENTLY DISPLEASED WITH OUR CREW CALLING IN. WE ASSISTED THE CUSTOMER IN PACKING. OUR ACTUAL HOURLY BILLING WAS ONLY 15 MINUTES OVER THE ESTIMATE. THE CUSTOMER FEELS THAT THE JOB TOOK LONGER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE HOWEVER, WE DID MORE WORK THAN ORIGINALLY CONTRACTED FOR AND IT STILL ONLY WENT OVER BY 15 MINUTES. THE CUSTOMER MENTIONS THAT OUR EMPLOYEES WERE CHATTING AFTER BRINGING A PIECE DOWN TO THE TRUCK. OFTEN AN EMPLOYEE WILL ASSIST THE LOADER IN POSITIONING THE PIECE PROPERLY TO PREVENT DAMAGE. THERE WAS MINIMAL DAMAGE ON THIS MOVE. OUR ACTUAL BILLING WAS $241.00 OVER THE ESTIMATE. THAT WAS FOR THE PACKING CHARGE, EXTRA 15 MINUTES, FUEL SURCHARGE AND FOR COVERAGE WHICH THEY HADN'T DECIDED ON AT THE TIME OF THE ESTIMATE. NOT HAVING THE BENEFIT OF THE CUSTOMER'S INPUT I CAN ONLY RESPOND TO THIS CUSTOMER'S SHORT COMMENTS. THE FACTS DO NOT SUPPORT THE CUSTOMER'S ALLEGATIONS.

The two trucks showed up on time. The five guys were all very polite and careful with my things. If something was not clearly marked as to what room it belonged in the new home they asked and didn't just put it anywhere. I was very pleased with the overall experience.
Description of Work: Lincoln Mayflower was hired to load and move our belongings to our new home. We packed most of our own things including closets, dishes and drawers. The packed the larger furniture and art work.

I have known and worked with Lincoln for many years. I know their management to be top notch, and their staff and work force, which includes drivers and packers, to be professional, polite and efficient. They provided a seamless and timely move of my law practice in September of 2005, and my residence prior to that. I have recommended Lincoln to family members, business colleagues and friends. All to my knowledge were satisfied and happy with manner of the move, the price and the people that they dealt with at Lincoln, from top to bottom. They have been in business for 75 years and the experience and longevity clearly comes through. I give them my highest recommendation.
