The fact that everything came in one piece with no damage. They picked it up and put in storage then delivered and nothing was broke. They impressed me as they took good care of my stuff. Everything about the move was as many stars as you can give. All across the board, I was very impressed.

Everyone was very polite. They did what they said they were going to do and they did a wonderful job. It was a small move. At first, I checked with another shipping company and I was appreciative of your competitiveness with prices. That was a pleasant surprise. it was very positive.

You will not find a more reliable, professional moving company anywhere. They take the stress of a move away. Timely and careful. Best moving company I have ever dealt with and I have moved many times.
