Simple Moving Labor

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY if you want your stuff to be loaded in the truck in a way that does not guarantee your furniture will arrive with scratches.  We used the "Professional Mover" option to load up a Penske truck for our move to California.  We thought that by picking this option we would ensure that our stuff would be packed in such a way that it would arrive in CA in great shape.  When the movers arrived at our new place in CA to help us unload - what we found was a disaster.  Even though the SML movers had adequate blankets - they had extras after packing the whole truck - they didn't wrap our furniture adequately.  Every wooden piece of furniture we owned had scratches and nicks out of them because they weren't wrapped adequately in blankets for the move.  Please do not use this company.  It is not worth it.

We used SML to unload our furniture in Palmetto, FL. We hired 2 professional movers from SML and were well pleased with them.  They were slightly late due to a traffic problem but when they arrived they went right to work. It was an experience to watch them work. They set up a rythem doing the movement of the furniture and were actually done before the estimated time we thought it would take. It was quite obvious they were professionals.  It would have taken me  3 x the time they took to unload the truck. No damage, no scratches, no problems.  I would not hesitate to hire or recommend SML for additional moves.    .

  We were loaded in  brandon, S.D., by what we thought were profesionals. (WRONG)  I think my wife and I could have done a better job, if we were not going to be 70 in a couple months.  Just can't lift those heavy items anymore.  We had to scrap a living room chair that they ruined.  Then we got to Huron, Ohio.  That was when the PROFESSIONALS took over.   they were only to unload the 26 foot truck.  We had another truck (16 foot) to be unloaded.   they were so fast and good, that I ask if they would mind unloading the other truck at a storage shed about 15 miles away.  They said to call the boss first, in which I did.  The boss  said it was up to them.  They said lets go.  The three were Cjay,Daniel, and Marcus, and were from the cleveland area I believe.  These three were the tops.  I highly recomend these three.  I can't give these three anything but an excellent rating.  Look forward to seeing you guys in about 10 months.     Larry and Kay.

They were quick and nice about getting my business.. The day of loading the crew was suppose to arrive between 8-9am. At 9:30am got a call from our security that one of the crew members didn't pass a background check as he had felony and much more. They were sent back. A new crew arrived at 1pm.. 4 hours late.  The loaders were good and did a great job, no damage. SML, however, decided to charge my credit card more than agreed amount per the contract. I didn't go ver my 3 hours. I also called SML to let them known what happened with the crew and they did NOTHING! Instead they said thank you for letting us know. I just got off then phone with SML and advised them to refund any money they charged without my notice or authorization or else there would be consequences.. Don't use SML!

SML Movers has been a pretty good company the couple of times I've used them.  They were on time and professional and packed the moving truck very efficiently.  The company even told me to call them once the movers were done to confirm the finish time with them and I thought that was pretty good.  I would definitley recommend them if you need just some help moving things and you’ve already got the truck and everything else. You just need some professional guys that know how to pack a truck good and tight, this is the company you want to go with.

Movers were late to arrive at the loading location. They got to work right away and handled my items with care, however; I have used other professional movers who worked more efficiently and with better results. One mover smelled like alcohol. During unload, several items were found to be damaged in the move. The company called and checked on the process several times, which was appreciated. Ultimatley, the loaders were only there 3:04 but I was charges for 3:30. The company rounds down on the arrival of the movers and rounds up on their departure.

II was supposed to have 2 movers arrive as I moved to D.C. Only one showed, and the other one kept claiming to be on his way, but never showed. As aa result I was forced to leave my belongings unattended in downtown Washington D.C. to help with the heavy lifting. He also mildly damaged some of my wall which I wouldn't have really minded, except he never told me and I found them after he left. The move took longer than scheduled.

On the bright side, the company did readjust my rate because only one mover showed.

I loaded the moving truck myself (with Friends) in Arizona and drove it to Fresno, CA where I had no friends, so I looked into unloading help there.  SML was recommended to me by the rental truck provider, and that worked really well.
With help from the SML front-office agent, I chose the option of 2 professional movers for 3 hours for my unloading in Fresno. From the front-office interface through the completion of the move, everything was handled with professionalism, good communications, and superior service.
The amount of time and expertise were right, and the movers themselves were excellent. Highly recommend!

We used Simple Movers Labor because we had a budget.  After we received a few $13,000 quotes from moving companies, I looked around on line for a truck rental.  I happpened across Penske rental trucks and noticed they have a Veterans page.  So I called and found a great service.  Then the Penske lady asked if I needed help moving.  I told her I did and she sent me some info on SML.  I called them and was greeted professionally.
 
The gentlemen showed up on the day of the move, packed everything securely and with in their alloted time, as they had another house to move.
 
When we arived in Louisana, the gentlemen that helped us unload were as professional as the counterparts in Washington.
 
We will definately use SML and tell enyone that has to move to check them out.
 
We saved thousands of dollars by doing all the driving and loading with SML.
