Simple Moving Labor

The team that helped me in Colorado was excellent in every way. They were on time, called me to say they were on the way, did a great job and were quick and efficient. They packed the truck so well that nothing moved. The two men that came out to help were extremely professional and willing to help in any way to get the truck loaded.  They were polite and made the moving experience easy and well worth the hired help.  We had a few heavy and bulky items that they were able to load without any issues.   The cost was reasonable.  The loading of the truck went smoothly and I highly recommend SML.

The people I spoke to over the phone at SML were all wonderful - both helpful and friendly. I only needed help loading my moving truck because I was on the 3rd floor and did not want to have friends responsible for moving some of the heavier items like my washer and dryer. The two guys that came were nice. One basically ran everything he could take on his own downstairs to the truck and the other guy arranged the items in there. I have moved many times so I had things pretty organized. It took about an hour. The guy who was putting things in the truck had it arranged strangely so I redid all of it after they left. With the discount from Penske, I was happy with the service for the price I paid. I would recommend using SML - if you are picky like me though, you might want to supervise or get a friend to help so you can be in two places at once and have things done the way you like.

We paid for the professional service at $379 for a Sunday loading. They came an hour late and started work right away. For the most part they were very willing to handle all the work on their own and did not as for help. My family and I just stayed out of their way and trusted them. Each box was clearly marked with the item inside and whether it was fragile or heavy. Service took the desired time that I paid for and we were out and on the road in a timely matter. For the record I only used SML to load the truck.  After arriving in FL my Father and I unloaded the truck (22ft) packed. We found several boxes and bins completely crushed and broken. They also had packed so much stuff on top of my brand new grill that the grill bottom had buckled. I took several pictures of all the damage, that even included scratching up my kitchen table and chairs and bedroom furniture. We had furniture pads that were not utilized very well. I was disappointed in the the outcome. .

I was originally going to use a moving company to move my stuff until they told me they would take 8-12 days to get my stuff from FL to MD. I was then referred to SML by a friend who recently used them and had a good experience. They loaded the moving truck on Friday and we got to MD and unloaded the next day. Nothing was broken just a couple things were chipped which wasn't a big deal. I would use them again. Make sure to use the Pro Movers service since it is insured.

The guys who loaded our truck didn't really take my  wants into consideration.  I asked fro my beds to be loaded near the back or last if possible.  They put them near the front so that when we got to our destination, I unloaded over 2/3 of the truck myself to get to the beds.  I was irritated to say the least after a 12 hour drive.  They did a GREAT job of packing the truck as nothing moved at all on the drive.  They did damage a few things packing and stacking.     I give them an average rating.  I'm not sure I would use them again.  .

I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend SML as I have to my son who moved here to southern CA days after me. Although he did not use SML he had Marine Buddies to help when he arrived on Base etc. Back to me SML called about 3 or 4 times during my trip then the day before and the morning of twice! With this all I can say is thank you, had 2 professional polite men show up and complete the move in with time to spare they also cleaned the 26 foot Penski rental truck and folded the blankets. I tipped the gentleman, and it was done! Not knowing anyone here in this new city made my move ok almost enjoyable! I Wish you luck in your move and thanks again SML D.Plamondon.

We accomplished a local move from Jacksonville, AR to Hot Springs Village, AR in which we rented the truck and Simple Moving provided the pro movers.  The team worked well with us and did a great job in getting the truck packed as full as possible.  The unloading was delayed for several hours due to rainy weather, but after the weather broke, the same team showed up at our new location. They did a great job unloading the truck and putting the items in the rooms we requested.  I would use this team again if I had to move.

SML got us professional movers who helped us pack and load a 26 ft long Penske trailer from two different locations. The gentlemen were prompt, fast, clean and courteous of our goods. They lay mats down on the floors as to not trample dirt in to the house. We were so pleasantly surprised at not only the service but the cost which was remarkable! We had our daughter arrange for helpers at our destination and they could not compare.. Motto use SML their labor is the best!

Referred through Penske, I hired two moving professionals from SML to help load the truck in CA.  They showed up half an hour early to get a sense of what needed to be done then took off for a quick lunch (which was helpful because I wasn't ready for them yet).  They got back at the pre-arranged time and got right to work.  They did a good job moving all the heavy stuff that I didn't want to touch, wrapped them up, and did well following my sometimes particular directions.  As it turned out, the two movers were able to keep me more than busy as I was loading the truck while they were bringing out all the furniture.  They were courteous, worked well together, and made some good suggestions.  I had them for 3 hours and I kept them busy the whole time.  I feel like it was certainly worth it, and my back agrees!

I used the professional movers and they were fast, efficient, professional in attitude and packed the truck like experts. My only complaint was that one end table was broken in the move, but it was repaired. They did all their work in well under the amount of time I had paid for which gave me plenty of time to do what I needed to. I appreciated the level of engagement and service provided since these men were working in the rain and cold and required no additional support or service. I hurt my back earlier when I was loading the truck and these two gentlemen took over to make the experience easy for me.

Service cost: $600

Overall, I was very pleased with SML.  The pickup was in Indiana and the loaders were very professional and helpful with packing.  No problems with reference to damages.  Loaders were on time and I was charged the agreed upon price (no hidden charges).  The unloading was in North Carolina the next day.  Again, overall, I was pleased.  One mover tried moving too much at one time and resulted in some broken glassware.  Again, on time and charged what I had agreed to.  I would use SML again if the situation arose.

We had ProMovers load a 16 ft. truck. They were knowledgable, hardworking and polite.  Easy to communicate with.  They were very careful with our "stuff" They loaded in three hours which was the minimum period. We had workers unload the truck.  Again the workers were hardworking, polite and careful with our things.  They unloaded in the two-hour minimum. Our interactions to contract with SML were very easy.  SML representatives were very knowledgeable and courteous. On both ends of the move, a SML rep called soon after the movers arrived to assure that everything was going well. The alliance with Penske was a very convenient and less-expensive benefit. I will highly recommend SML to any of my friends who need this service.

This company is terrible. I used them for packing and unpacking 16’ truck. Got phone number trough Penske truck rental. They should arrive between 9 am and 10 am, showed up FOUR hours late, that ruined my whole day and plans I had for evening. I ordered movers helpers but because of late arrival I was promised to get professional movers. WHAT A JOKE!! They were just young guys with no idea of properly moving.  After loading truck and driving short distance (7 miles) I found everything being upside down.  They used my on wheels coffee table to move heavy boxes, and then damp them in the new place without total consideration for content or orientation (boxes where clearly marked). So far (and I’m still unpacking) I have furniture full of scratches, my clothes were thrown out of drawers and hastily put in (they all had to be washed), had to throw out some broken dishes and glass. I’m dreading to unpack more boxes with glass and art work for fear what to expect. I my moving several times (some of across the country) I never lost a single item, but then I packed trucks myself. Next time will do it again ALL by myself, that will guarantee that I won’t lose anything. I WILL NEVER AGAIN USE THIS COMPANY. DO YOURSELF A BIG FAVOR, DON’T EVEN THING ABOUT THIS COMPANY unless you don’t care about thinks you have.   .

I received moving helpers that did the job.  Nothing outstanding, not the fastest, but helped load and unload items I could not do myself and was one of the very few moving help options in my area. The helpers actually arrived before the scheduled time (they were waiting then I pulled up with my truck rental).  The helpers were not much to look at but the two were able to lift and move everything that was needed and fit it snugly into the truck.  The only casualty was the contents of a drawer that was my fault.  They were not the fastest movers, taking multiple short breaks while I continuously loaded and unloaded (I have a hard time sitting around).  So, they may have taken a little longer than needed.  They were nice to talk to and asked were things should go if it was not obvious. Not as good as other movers I have used before, but they were not in the area I currently live. Only complaint is the lack of a final invoice for what I would actually be charged with the additional time needed.
