was very fragile. They came in at a good bid (less than the others
contacted on Angie's List).
They communicated, were on time, and did a great job! They get an A+.
And,
my Mom was the person on site to coordinate the day of the move and
they were very polite to her and made it a positive experience for her.
The bed was moved without any damage, so they were careful
Kudos to My Truck Budddy. They will be the first person I contact for future moving needs large or small.
These guys are amazing. Top notch service, Efficient and came in wildly under budget. Told us it would about 350 to 450 and charged us 280! Use them and you won't regret it.
amount estimated and setting up our move was simple.
Not a single thing was broken or damaged, they kept the furniture clean, didn't scuff furniture or boxes against the walls and were incredibly delicate with our fragile antique dresser.
These guys are AMAZING!!!!! This is as good as movers can get.
Wanted to purchase sofas at Costco, but couldn't lift or transport them ourselves. Contacted My Trucky Buddy based on Angie's List search. From first contact with David, to handing Pete the check, everything went as smooth as can be. David was easy to talk to and gave a quote without hesitation. He wasn't put off by a possible change of meeting point either.
Pete and Sean met us at Costco at opening of business. They loaded both sofas, drove them to our home, took our old furniture out of the home, brought in the new, and set everything up! They were friendly, curteous and professional at all times.
We can definitely recommend this company and its staff to anyone needing a complete move or delivery like we needed.
Very happy indeed.
The guys showed up on time, were curteous and freindly. We'd use them again in a heartbeat!
They are certainly my mover of choice from now on.
I have moved several times myself, typically with family and friends helping out, but since we had to move on a Tuesday, this was not possible (beer and pizza is considerably cheaper than movers!). We decided to hire My Truck Buddy after reading several review sites and obtaining several quotes from them and their competitors. The quote was recieved quickly, included both a high end (7 hours for what we needed moved) and a low end (3 hours for what we needed moved), and was the most reasonable of the offers. More importantly - the quote was 115% accurate !
To begin, the gentlemen that showed up for the move arrived 15 minutes early and were ready to get started. Pete and his crew were very pleasant, respectful, and machines! Once we explained what we wanted them to move - the all of our furniture and big items - they never stopped moving! I feel that we were properly prepared for them for the most part - ie everything broke down, drawers removed, table legs bundled together, etc.- which I feel is key in any move (and for future customers - read their Moving Guide on their website - some great information to make the move less stressful and get the most bang for your buck by being prepared). Anyways, within about an hour the 16' truck they brought was loaded and we were ready to go.
Once at the new apartment, the unloading proceeded even more quickly then the loading (since the walk was shorter and no stairs), even with a delay because the fire alarm was going off in our building for a still-to-be determined reason. They braved the loud and annoying fire alarm until the firemen has requested no one go back in for about 5 minutes while they checked the building.
After the 1st load, they asked if we would like them to do a second run for us for the large boxes and other things we had packed (about a roomful of boxes of everything else we owned ha!). We had planned on moving all that stuff ourselves (we have a SUV) in several trips to keep the costs down.
Since we were so impressed with their work habit and the fact that the first load of large stuff was done under the quoted time and cost (took about 2.5 hours), we decided to have them do a second load for us. They did not quit or just go home once the quoted job was done. Rather, they saw an opportunity to further assist us in our move (which after watching them work during the first load - we were more than ready to pay for the second load - something we were not counting on).
Their attitude was not "we quoted x hours to move ___" and therefore take the entire time of the quote. Their attitude was more "we're here to move___," and got to work. It was this type of attitude why we decided to have them do a second load for us (and pay a bit more of our moving budget than we planned) since we truly believed they were capable of performing.
That second load was worth every extra dollar we spent as it saved us time and stress the rest of the day during our move. I only wish we had planned on a second load with the boxes with them as we would have had more prepared for them to take.
Overall, we were extremely happy with our decision to hire My Truck Buddy. I would highly recommend them (and have already sung their praises to a few friends!) for their accurate price quote and assesment, their respectful manner, and tireless work ethic. Thank you very much for helping make our moving day much less stressful.
Free advice to future people moving: Make sure you are prepared for the move and have properly planned everything out. Not to toot my own horn, but I do believe that having everything ready for them to move into the truck helped out and expidited the process. While we were thrilled when they finished the first load under the quoted price, we recognize that only happens a smaller precentage of the time, however would still use them many times again for the afromentioned reasons.
Kudos to Jimmy and David for getting it done!Would be first person I would call if I need gruntwork help in the future.
Getting a quote from them was super easy. Better than other places that never responded or then called to ask me the same questions I already answered in their on-line forms. I filled out their online form and received an email quote the next day. All I had to do from there was respond to the email with "confirmed" and it was a done deal. I would have liked a call the day before just to re-confirm and for peace of mind, but it all worked out. Their price was great and less than other quotes I got. They gave me an estimate on how long they thought it would take and they ended up finishing on the low side. Granted I was well organized, had all my boxes in one area and disassembled furniture before they arrived. Although they would have taking things apart if I hadn't. Still it took them 4 hours total to empty out our 2nd floor 2 bedroom condo and move us about 7 miles down the road to our new house.
On moving day these guys worked. No sitting around milking the clock. I was amazed at how quickly they got the job done and with the professional manner in which they did the job. All of our furniture made it to our new home in one piece and without any damage. My husband had some odd and ends he loaded into his car and when he pulled up right when they were about done they didn't hesitate to unload his car too. Oh and did I mention that it was raining the day of our move? They took great care to cover things a then took them down our long walk to the truck and put down moving pads at our new place to avoid soaking the floors. While I don't plan on moving again for a very long time if I do I know who I will call and who I will recommend to friends who are moving!
