Men on the Move Moving Co

It went very well. I had a lot of furniture and boxes. It was very heavy furniture. I moved into a townhouse that has four floors. They had to carry that heavy furniture upstairs. They worked hard the entire time. They took a 30 minute lunch and stayed there and ate. They put furniture together for me, and if something was in the wrong place and I asked them to move it, they did. They were very careful with my furniture and made sure not to mark up my walls. Also, I checked multiple companies and their rates were 50% below the other companies.

I hired Men on the Move to move from a townhouse to a single family home, across town. I wish that I could recommend these guys, but I can not. i received moving estimates from 3 companies, each of whom came to my townhouse to see what would be moved. Men of the Move was a little more expensive than 1 other mover, but seemed more professional and easier to get in touch with. The 3rd company gave a much higher estimate, in part because they estimated that the job would take 2-3 hrs longer than the lower 2 estimates. I negotiated a flat rate charge with Men on the Move, because I do not like surprises. Been there! 3 men showed up at the appropriate time. Two of the men were pleasant, but the job foreman had a chip on his shoulder from the get-go. He was very disagreeable. When he spoke to me, it was to assert that he wouldn't move something. Some of the time I argued with him, as I had already discussed my household goods with his boss (who gave the estimate). Additionally, this was not my first move. (Indeed, a professional moving company had moved these belongings just over a year earlier, for an inter-state move.) With respect to a floor lamp (no shade) I was told that they would take no responsibility if it were damaged. Not sure why it was a concern, as the lamp had moved with me thousands of miles without issue or incident. In a few cases, I learned that they would not move something by finding it left behind. In fact, when they had finished loading the truck they drove off without saying a word to me. Eventually they showed up at my new home. My greeting was to be yelled at to move my car - which was not in the way of their truck. (The foreman was venting his frustration on me because neighbors had cars parked on the street, which made backing up my driveway challenging.) When they finished and were about to leave, I asked about my boxspring that was sitting in the family room, rather than in the second floor bedroom. I was informed by the foreman that they made 2 attempts to get it up the stairs and were unable to do so. He said that the stair railing would likely need to be removed, but that they don't do that. When he asked for payment, I learned why he had been so bad-tempered all day. Upon arrival and looking at my household items, he determined that his boss had underestimated the time it would take them and thus that he would be out at least $200. He promptly called his boss to complain, but I guess that did not resolve anything. Given how I had been treated, I was not about to offer to pay them more than the contract price. However, I did feel badly for the 2 movers who assisted him. I would not hire this company again, and would be wary of hiring a small local moving business in the future, given this experience. These guys are not what I would call professionals, in several respects. For example, they do not have the strength, stamina or expertise of the professionals I have hired for state-to-state moves (e.g. Atlas, Mayflower, United). Although the damages to my belongings were minimal, I credit my packing ability (well-honed over the years) and luck more than anything else.

Overall the move went fine, however when I called them to confirm they would be at my house at 1pm they told me they wouldn't have a crew until after 5:30pm. I told them that was unacceptable so they had to scramble to get a crew together by 3:30. Otherwise things went smoothly and they were professional.

It was awesome; they were consensus, about not scraping the walls and handling the furniture well, very time efficient

The online quote function on the company website was quick and convenient, and booking the movers after I decided to go with the company couldn't have been easier. As for the move itself, the movers were a little late for their 2 hour window, but other than that did an excellent job. We also settled on a flat rate instead of the hourly estimate I'd been given originally. It took them just under an hour and a half to pack my apartment up, including the time to take apart my larger furniture and wrap it securely. On the other end, these guys really worked hard to move my boxes and furniture into the townhouse, even having to move a lot of the heavier items up multiple flights of stairs. At the end of the move, nothing was broken or scratched, they reassembled my furniture perfectly, everything was placed in the proper room, they cleaned up after themselves, and they didn't scuff my paint. The movers worked their butts off, and they were all professional and courteous.

Fast, easy and cheap. Nothing broken, nothing damaged. They even took a moment to show us where the furniture would fit best. All in under two hours. We had two bedrooms, a big dinette set, another table, two large sofas, entertainment centre. They moved it all with ease.

Did Not Use

The moving company arrived on time and ready to get the job done, the entire move was completed on time and within my budget. Excellent Company and team

The guys worked their butts off the entire time they were at both residences. They made it look easy to move our very heavy furniture. It took them about 1/2 the time I figured it would given all of our boxes and furniture. When they gave me the bill, I was amazed it wasn't more. I'd gladly use them again in the future for any type of move!

Great Service! They picked up a patio set at a local retailer and delievered it to my home.

quote was quick,arrival prompt and on time

We had the pleasure of hiring Men On The Move to move all of our furniture, boxes, sports equipment, and household goods from one city to another. Men On The Move provided Professional, Efficient and Courteous Service to us. We were particularly pleased with how this company gently handled several pieces of leather furniture and three different sized glass tables. All items were wrapped (where needed), loaded and unloaded with great skill and care. Throughout the process, we were confident that our items were in great hands, and everything was delivered in perfect condition. THANK YOU, Men On The Move for a job well done. We will certainly call you for our next move.

Great job...took a bit longer than estimated due the heavy rain. Overall a great job

I needed a treadmill moved into my basement. It was proving to be difficult to do myself, so I decided to call professionals. I called Men on the Move, they quoted me two prices: $75 to move and $100 if they had to disassemble and reassemble the unit. Three men arrived within 30 minutes of my call. They removed a door and tried to get it in various times without taking it apart. I appreciated this effort as it's more expensive if they had to do so, which they ultimately did. They got it down and put it back together all within 40 minutes. Professional and fast. I will definitely use them again for any moving needs.
