Description of Work: I needed them to bring boxes and household items from the first floor to the second floor. We had boxes from my daughter who moved out of her school apartment to another city. They were very professional and helpful.

It went horrible! I got a call today (only after I left a message telling them I would need to hire someone else if I didn't hear back from them.) and they guy was trying to get more money out of me... Saying I didn't hire them the "right way" which for some sense he's correct, I did not hire him attached to my previous order because the same service was going to cost me $300 more! I placed the order separate from my previous order and he didn't like that even though I was still only asking them to work the 2 hours and I didn't ask them to pay or encure any additional costs. So between the poor response and the apparent interest in swindling me out of $300 dollars... I give them a poor review.
Description of Work: Very little! I requested a email quote from them on 8/5/14 and by the 9th I had no response, I went online to moving help and hired them (because of good reviews). I hired 3 guys for 2 hours at a total cost of $230, I also ordered and paid for a truck and trailer separately. Since the uhaul location was only .09 miles from my place I didn't see it as a big deal to have them pick them up and return them (within the two hour window) since moving help clearly says they are there to do whatever.

We had a rented trailer full of furniture and needed someone to move the items into our home. W called Daniel at Busy Bee on Monday and he and associate Keith scheduled us for the very next day. They were young, strong, hard working and efficient. We were especially impressed with their handling of a king size mattress: up stairs twice, around corners and through doors. They did a good job and were cautious of our walls and furniture. I would call them again for any moving I needed. I liked that we could hire them for two hours.
Description of Work: Moved several bedroom sets into home and from room to room. Also moved other furniture and boxes.

I arranged for Busy Bee to help me move the contents of my 2 BR, 2nd floor apartment. I did not have a lot of heavy furniture, but I did have a lot of boxes. I rented a truck from U-haul, which I drove. The team of two, including Daniel and his helper, were very fast and efficient. It took less time than I had anticipated. The total cost, including the driving time between my old and new residence (over one hour), was $425 and I gave them a $75 tip. We started at about 9 a.m. and were done by 3 p.m. I would recommend them!

They did an amazing job. The workers met the van in Hudson. They came back out and helped do some organizing for the move. If you are already organized, it is an amazing service. They even left me a card for if I ever needed them to come back for more assistance.
Description of Work: They helped me move my mother.
