Description of Work: One mover was not careful moving the loaded dolly over the threshold, even with boxes of china, clearly marked FRAGILE. He moved carelessly & too fast.

Description of Work: Not well! I will never use them again! The 2 guys tried to get me to pay more than contracted amount! One of them had the flu and spent most of the time sitting in a chair on my porch. Several expensive pieces were broken. They did not finish on the day of moving and I had to call them back several times the following day to get them back over. Only one mover returned the 2nd day after the move (and returned with his 8 year old son to help him). Consequently, I had to get up on a ladder and help him put my armoire back together. Move was Sept 2010.

Description of Work: They were polite, positive, and punctual. They did what they agreed to do when they said they would. Furniture was placed where it was requested. There was one broken glass top out of several shipped. State established rules of replacing items at a rate of $.60 per pound essentially means that the phrase, "buyer beware" definitely applies in the case of any mover in Texas. The deductible on the extra insurance means that a person had better be prepared to absorb a small loss and be grateful that it is not worse. I did not feel that the movers were negligent in my case and I would hire them again.

Response from Blue Whale Moving Company, Inc.
Thank you for the GREAT review. We look forward to serving you again. In fact, try our sister company Humpback Junk Removal, the next time you need something hauled away or maybe a shed cleaned out.

Response from Blue Whale Moving Company, Inc.
I AM SORRY YOU FELT THE PRICE WAS NOT IN LINE WITH WHAT YOU WANTED TO PAY. ALL OF OUR ESTIMATES ARE GIVEN UP FRONT THE ONLY WAY THAT A PRICE GOES UP IS IF WE MOVE MORE ITEMS THAN WERE ORIGINALLY QUOTED.
