Excellent! I received a crew that was at a high caliber of professional . This crew was ; Efficient , properly utilize their time, handled our belongings with the utmost respect and delicacy, they worked well as a team, and had no problem dealing with the obstacles they had to jump through during the apartment portion of the first move. I felt very confident that I could run other errands and handle other business while that crew was managing my move . "A Team ", all day, all the way around.

They were a Godsend, prompt, courteous, and careful with our furniture as they manhandled it up a hill to our house during one of the warmest days of this summer. We have a considerable amount of furniture which needs to go to our family in Kentucky, and will use them to move it there.
Description of Work: We moved from Arizona, and pending purchase of a house had most of our possessions in storage and Pods, we needed the storage shed emptied and delivered, and the pod emptied and furniture brought up a hill to our house.

Well, it was done at an hourly rate. They didn't bill me down. They did everything as though it was their furniture. Everything was covered. Whatever last was left we had them stop off at my daughter's house. They did an unload and a move there. I did the packing. I would rate them excellent.

Marlen, Austin and Tre did a great job for us. Very professional. This was our third moving experience this year (multi-phase relocation) and we had some pretty bad experiences with 2 other companies. These guys were different and they went above and beyond to make this a much better experience. We had a little bit of a later start time than expected, but that was due to an issue with the truck out of the movers control.

Okay. The guys doing the work were great. There was a slight hiccup in which they accidentally let my cat out, but it worked out okay. The only issues I have are as follows: 1. Pricing was a bit steep for a one bedroom apartment 2. I wasn't called or emailed with a final price for the move out/move into storage 3. I wasn't provided with the location of my storage unit
Description of Work: Hired these folks to move my belongings into storage while my new home is being renovated.

Response from Moving Ahead Services LLC
Thank you for taking the time to provide us feedback. First off we are so happy to hear your cat is ok, we will definitely be more careful in the future! I apologize you feel the pricing for your move was high. Your final pricing was for 2 movers, with 4 hours of service, a truck fee and your first months rent for storage--which is the included in that final amount of $918. I apologize you did not receive a copy of your invoice on the day of your move; typically the movers would give this to you after signing or write on it for us to send it to you. I will email a copy of this paperwork to you today, and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to call and we will be happy to assist you. As for your storage location, your items are safely located here at our warehouse as we offer full service storage- if you ever need access to it, please call the office and we would be happy to arrange a time to help you. We look forward to working with you as you prepare for your next move!

The movers arrived on time, they were polite, courteous, asked about how to handle certain items, and worked very hard. This is a great company that I certainly hire again. They moved larger items in our home (couch, washer/dryer, dressers, etc.), quickly and efficiently. They made sure everything was wrapped up and protected to avoid damage. I highly recommend this company!

Contacted them via their website and response was fast and efficient. We appreciated that they scheduled service immediately, but left us the option to cancel at no cost. We scheduled about three weeks in advance and the communication between initial contact and date of service was excellent - regular, but not intrusive. They were late arriving on the scheduled morning, but called early and often to keep us informed and it caused us no issues. The two movers, Jason and Saxon, were simply fantastic - polite, hard working and efficient. The amount of items to be moved was not extensive, but much of it was very heavy and there were several antiques/family heirlooms. Jason and Saxon worked incredibly hard all day and our furniture arrived without damage. They are not the least expensive option, but this is a good company, with good people. I would hire them again .

Good, but it was the hottest day of the summer. Understandably, the oppressive heat caused the crew to work more slowly than they would have under normal conditions. They had to go up and down stairs in both houses, so it wasn't easy! Total cost was higher than we'd planned, since charges are on an hourly basis. But we got moved! Crew lead and the 2 young men doing the work were very nice to us - considerate, polite, friendly, and appreciative. They were also careful not to cause any damage to belongings, freshly painted walls, floors, doors. We had a good moving crew. I recommend them!
Description of Work: Residential move (half our remaining belongings) to two destinations - about 18 miles to a storage facility, then about 4 miles to the new house.

Great, except the weather was so hot and oppressive, the job took longer than we had hoped (= expensive). The guys were great though, and they did a very good job. We got moved! They were careful, did no damage - and they were considerate, friendly, and polite. We were very comfortable with this crew. I recommend this moving company.

It went very well. The men were efficient, pleasant and everything arrived safely. I required their services to take furniture and boxes from two Cincinnati locations to a storage facility in Columbus. One of the locations was an old home near UC campus. That required extra attention to navigate the furniture in tight spaces and drive their truck on a narrow street. It was pricey but they did a great job so it was worth it.

The move was estimated to take 4 to 6 hours. Having moved my parents and my in-laws three times in the past 3 years I estimated it would take 8 hours. It actually took 12 hours which is ridiculous (especially given that we only moved 1 mile away and we downsized considerable). They arrived 45 minutes late. There were supposed to be 4 guys but only three showed up and one of the 3 was brand new so had to be told to do stuff. While it was raining hard that day, obviously the truck must have a leak because a few of my items were soaked. They did damage to the hallway at the home we moved from and did not even bother to mention it. Some damage also found at the new house, that again they failed to mention. I decided to us this company based on reviews I read, but I have no idea how they have such good reviews........ I would not recommend using them to others that are moving.

Hello [Member Name Removed], We show no records of you ever calling us. Our office is open M-F 8am-4pm and Sat 8am-12pm. If you reached our answering service, either all of our phone lines were in use or you were trying to contact us after hours. The owner of the company does not usually take sales calls. Most of his time is spent outside of the sales office working on developmental growth for the business. There is a sales manager and several highly skilled customer service representatives here that would be happy to help you. We have a strict policy to answer or return every call/email before the end of day. Did you leave a message with our answering service? Was the call under your name? Please give us a call (877)-643-4044 or feel free to fill out our online request form through our website [Hyperlink Removed]. Thank you, Devin DiSantis Regional Manager

Excellent! Marlan and Kyle did an awesome job with our move. The conditions were rough- rainy, humid and we were moving across columbus from a single story ranch home to a 3 story town home. Yikes! However, they handled the move with ease. Everything was handled professionally and efficiently. II would definitely use again. Thanks Marlan and Kyle! You guys rock!
