Mover Dudes
"We hired Mover Dudes to get us to Seattle. They were curtious and worked hard. They stayed in touch with me going across the country, even meeting me to change a tire on my car. That day they carried my bags into my hotel for me. Very happy!"

Lloyds Transfer
"This review is long overdue, since we had Lloyd's move us from one state to another in June 2017, but better late than never. First of all, whoever is in charge of hiring at Lloyd's should get a gold star. Everyone we dealt with - from Reuben the ..."

A+ Moving And Storage
"If I could give zero stars, I would. I got three estimates—A-Plus and two reputable movers (Colonial and Allied). Colonial and Allied did in-person walk-throughs; A-Plus just promised to beat their price. Will Reid quoted me $12,762 vs. Allied’s $..."

Magellan Van Lines
