 + -1 moreAndy from Clark came to our old house and gave us an estimate and explained in detail the services they would provide. He was courteous, and knowledgable. The movers (4 of them) arrived early and were clean polite and got right to work. They worked non-stop, took two short breaks and seemed to be enjoying their work. They finished ahead of schedule, and were careful at both houses.

 + -1 moreThey under estimated my total load, they go by weight, but they held to their estimate and price. They did not break anything, which I think is unusual. I have a lot of glassware and kitchenware. Moving from a house to an apartment is a real chore, and there was only one minor scratch on a chair. The job that they did was very difficult.
Description of Work: They did a move for me from Memphis to Astoria.

 + -1 moreThey were were very prompt from the begining. They were on time and made the move within a good amount of time. The service was fine, but they damaged some items along the way. I asked them to pay for the damaged items, but they refused and gave me a check for $234. This would not pay for my damaged items, I would need at least $400 more to fix everything.
Description of Work: They moved all of my belongings from Indianapolis to Christiana, Tennessee.

 + -1 more. We had some property in north Mississippi. I sold the property and I had things there that needed to be moved here. I have moved cross country several times. This move was by far the best move I have ever made. They were so nice. They are from a small town. There is a military base in that part of the town that we sold the property. We were 25 miles away from there but that was the closet town to us. They did what they said. The actual move came under the estimate and they refunded the money that I had paid up front. I had nothing damaged which is incredible. From the secretary who answered the phone down to all the people working there were very nice. We had to do two drops. The way they loaded the van it took up the least space in the van. So when they got to the first drop they could not get to some of the stuff that was going to the first drop. So instead of unloading the whole thing and reloading it which is harder on the stuff they went over to the second drop off and came back here and dropped the rest of it. It is Incredible that they were able to do that. Years ago we moved from St Louis and our furniture was delivered two three days past the date it was promised. Then we realised that they had taken the moving van with our furniture to Mexico. We were lucky that furniture got here at all. This company is a great company. If I have to use them in the future I would.
Description of Work: . In July I used Clark Transfer & Stg. Company/ Mayflower Transit to move some stuff from Mississippi to here.

 + -1 moreVery professional. Came to the house and checked out the items. We were moving everything ourselves except the heavy items--China Cabinet, dressers, refrigerator, washer and dryer. About 20 pieces, all coming to about $1000, requiring 3 guys to make the move. We had to change our move date a few times, and this was easy to manage with Clark--they were very flexible. They came promptly on the day of the move, laid down all the protective cloth and wrapped the furniture. They did the move in the time specified (a little less time actually), asking for a few drinks of water because it was a brutally hot day. When it was over, the supervisor told us they had overcharged us and we would see a credit of around $100. Great ! Everything was good.
Description of Work: This was a basic move between two locations in Rochester. We have a 2500 ft colonial moving to a 3000+ ft ranch, over a distance of about 20 miles. So this involved setting up the appraisal apptmt, estimate, arranging the time to move, and the actual move itself.

 + -1 moreIt seemed fine when I was talking to her, except for the part about having wait for up to 8 days to see my things. But the fact that she never called back was very unprofessional, to say the least.
Description of Work: I called and spoke to a woman regarding my upcoming out of state move. She went over some details with me, and explained that this is a very busy time of year for moving and that I would need to book early. She also said that my things might have to stay on a truck for up to 8 days. I thought that was unusual, considering the move is only 380 miles. We discussed having an estimator come to my home the following week, and she said she would do some research into who the best company in my area is and would call me back in an hour and a half. It's been over a week and she seems to have forgotten about me. She never called. I have already called another company and received a quote, and was told my things would only need to be on the truck for 2 nights.

 + -1 moreThe woman was very professional, punctual, and friendly. She took notes as I gave her the tour of the home. She answered my questions. When she emailed me the first estimate, I wasn't sure if it included everything we talked about. I asked her, and she sent a second, higher estimate. She also told me to submit the estimate to my employer. I told her that my husband and I were retired and didn't have an employer. She said we looked too young to be retired. I am not sure if the estimate was based on corporate rates, with the assumption that we could withstand a higher bill because someone else was paying for it. I never did find out because I went with a company with a lower estimate.
Description of Work: The representative came to my house to give me an estimate on an upcoming move.

A few things were broken, and we alerted the company, and we never heard back. We advise people not to take out insurance as they don't follow up. They never even sent the paperwork.

 + -1 moreI recently married a widower. He had a beautiful antique piano that hadn't been played for many years in our living room. His very musical granddaughter loved to come visit so she could play the piano. We decided to give her the piano for her Christmas present this year. We were very concerned about moving the piano to his son's home. Clark Transfer made it happen in the most professional way possible from the front office contact, Michelle Barber, to the 4 courteous well trained young men. We are planning on moving locally within the next year. Finding a great mover is no longer a problem for us. I think my husband is actually looking forward to the move now that we have found a company we have total confidence in...how great is that!
Description of Work: We had an antique piano that we wanted locally moved. Clark Transfer's staff of 2 young gentlemen arrived on time in a flat bed truck!!!! Needless to say I was very concerned. They came to the door to introduce themselves and tell us that the enclosed truck and 2 more movers were on there way. They came ahead of the full crew to prepare for the move by clearing the area for optimum ease and safety for our home and the piano. We had all ready done most of the clearing so they laid down a red carpet protector and returned to their truck to wait for the rest of the crew and the truck. A few minutes later the second truck and 2 men arrived. They introduced themselves and immediately began to discuss exactly how they were going to move our very heavy, large upright. It was like watching them plan a football play or a military attack! When they all agreed with the best way to carry out their mission, they began to move the piano. It was like watching a well choreographed dance. With great care and a lot a knowledge they slowly moved it out of the house, down the stairs, across the yard, and up onto the truck. They blanketed it and strapped it properly and securely to the side of the truck. It was amazing to watch 4 young gentlemen transform into 4 professional movers. My new daughter-in-law said the same thing happen at her house. Thanks to all the employees at Clark Transfer that we had the PLEASURE of working with... we had a perfect experience.

Description of Work: I joined Angie's List because after reading many moving horror stories on the internet, I thought this might be a good resource. The site listed only one moving company with a 5 star rating, Clark Transfer, but they were located on the East Coast and I needed to make a partial household move from CA to MN. So I thought this was a waste of money, but what do I have to lose. So, I called Clark. They vetted a local mover and acted as a booking agent. I had packed my boxes and the movers were outstanding in meticulously wrapping my furnitere. Everything arrived in perfect condition. Wherever you are in the US, I strongly recommend checking with Clark to see whether they can be of help

 + -1 moreI had to make these moving arrangements for my mother-in-law long distance. I set up the appointment for them to meet with her, they arrived when they said they would, made a complete list of everything in her house and gave us an estimate. I also arranged to have packers pack everything up. They came the first day and the mover the next day. They arrived in Florida exactly when they said they would and did an outstanding job. Not one thing was lost or damaged.The movers were very experienced and very friendly. I would highly recommend this moving company to anyone.

Description of Work: This was a partial pack and total move from Raleigh, NC to Baton Rouge, La. The $7500 was a guaranteed price, no change after the "estimate" They said that normally they would have contracted this to a local carrier (they were in Newport News) but they were available for this move.

 + -1 moreEverything went very smoothly. The movers were there on time (7 a.m.) at the house we were moving from in KY, loaded quickly and professionally, and were completely loaded by 1 p.m. The furniture was delivered two days later at our new home in NC, was unloaded carefully and professionally, was reassembled (where necessary) and placed in the appropriate place in the house. The only complaint would be that they sent two trucks and loaded both when I believe one truck would have been sufficient. However, they did not know this from the original estimate, but it was apparent when they began loading. This, I'm sure, would have reduced the moving cost.
Description of Work: Limited packing (mirrors, lamps, pictures), loading everything to be moved, moving it and unloading it at our new homesite.

 + -1 moreVery well. The estimator came twice to our home, explained all services and options, and provided new packing materials (for a charge) and some used packing boxes for free -- we did all the packing. Hauler picked up and delivered goods without incident, taking care to prevent damage. There was one issue -- services quoted included shuttle truck and labor, because origin was not accessible to a full-sized moving van. Hauler had a double van, though, and was able to reach house with one of his 2 trailers, so shuttle service was not needed. Mayflower at first refused to refund the quoted shuttle service price because the move was "bound", i.e. a fixed-price contract. Clark (Amy, in particular) was instrumental in negotiating with the hauler and Mayflower to get us a refund for the unprovided service.
Description of Work: This was a household move from Franklin, VA to Corrales, NM. We packed, but movers loaded, transported, and unloaded all our goods.

 + -1 moreThey answered our questions and were eager to come out to the house to give us a quote, though we weren't ready yet. We were thinking it would cost twice as much or more so we were thrilled with the figure. They are offering a 25% discount because we got their name from Angie's List and they also offer a 25% senior discount which is why the quote was so reasonable. They know we will be reporting back on them on the list. My husband dealt with them the most and he came back very enthusiastic. He said they got a good rating, we got a good discount, they were very informative and helpful. They understood they were going to deal with 80 year olds who were going to hover. We are considering going with them.
