Half Price Movers

Not really half the price, but do half the work :/. I booked partial packing and full moving service. It was actually a little more than some of the other quotes I had received, but since I was under a time crunch and they offered a guaranteed max cost, I did it. Unfortunately not worth the cost. Of all the boxes that were packed, less than half were even marked with what room they were from, forget about having any idea of the contents! I suppose that for those who normally move, this would be annoying but not a huge deal, as they would unpack everything; but it was a huge pain for me, as we were moving to a temporary home and I had not planned on unpacking everything. When I contacted them about it, it took 2 full days to receive a response, which was odd and offering a packer to come fix it? Not sure how they would do that, expect with me sitting there and identifying the contents of each box... Which I was already doing.Actual moving wise, they did fine. Everything arrived and no damage.

I do have to give them credit for punctuality & getting back to me in a timely fashion. Other than that well, where should I start?My move required moving only heavy items to the 3rd floor. They proceeded to wrap my items for protection. Which was fine. There were only 2movers, of which it seemed only 1was working. The other guy would disappear. When I finally got tired of wondering where the hell he was, I found him texting inside the truck. This occurred on more than 1occassion. When it came to unloading the truck. I had the same trouble. It seemed just 1guy was working. I started to help unload the truck. The major thing that upset me was when they broke my glass table top. They had gone through the trouble of wrapping it & ended unwrapping it because "it was getting in their way". What happens when 2 sweaty guys holding heavy glass? You guessed right: They drop it!!!

I am a single female, so picking a legit, safe mover is a top priority to me. I researched online - looked at company websites, online reviews, and the BBB site. This company is BBB accredited, so that was comforting. A BIG shout-out to KEMBERLY that works at this company. I spoke with her on the phone several times about my move (currently in a house with 2 others, but now am only moving my stuff to a 1 BR, 1BA apt.) & she was helpful and answered all of my questions thoroughly. If there was an unknown answer, she found out the answer.I highly recommend using this moving company, as they are patient and thorough & the service I received from them was excellent. Thanks again!

The actual move was great. The charge was higher than the quote.  They are "Half Price" movers in name only.  The two men did a wonderful job and we actually gave them a $20 tip each.  The problem was with the refrigerator.  They couldn't get it in the new home.  It was too big with the doors on.  They said that they were not allowed to remove the doors.  It was left in the garage.  I called Frank in the office, and he promised to come by and look at it.  He didn't show up.  Didn't call.  I had to pay someone another $75 to take the doors off and move it into the house.

Who doesn't hate moving!?Shopped around online, found this place, reviews were impressive. Did the online quote thing, also impressive. Bookmarked it but kept looking and within 10 minutes a rep from Half Priced Movers called me to give a more individualized quote and answer questions. Got a quote for packing as well as moving, and it was pretty steep so I opted to just book their moving services. Scheduled (chosing convenience over price because a weekday move would've saved me a little over $100, but I preferred having the weekend to unpack) for a Saturday between 2-4, got a call on Friday to confirm. I'm writing this on Saturday at 4:30 because I have both time to kill and want to review my situation accurately. I understand that moves are unpredictable and almost always run longer than planned, but a phone call would have been nice, rather than me being bored for the past 2 1/2 hrs and my dog being sad outside. I called them at 4, only to hear their voicemail tell me they closed at 2 today. Just got a phone call (4:40) to let me know (as presumed) that they were running late, better late than never, I suppose. Now they're here, it's 6, still better than a diy move with a uhaul... The movers say they were told there wouldn't be boxes to move, just a bed, crib, couches, and TVs, THAT'S IT.  I'm annoyed now, but they call their company and get the ok to move the boxes. The movers are professional, speedy and great; the dispatchers/ phone people/ desk jockeys are clearly disorganized and confused. Total move took under 3 hours, I was quoted apparently just for those 7 big things at 3- 3.5hrs (which seriously, why would just those 7 items take that long!? They wouldnt. I scheduled boxes and the phone intermediaries are just wrong.) Moral of the story, I recommend them for how great the movers were but BEWARE, if I could contract the movers themselves without the Half Price Movers input, I definitely would.
