Moved furniture and boxes from our box truck into a studio apartment. Organized/staged items in hall to make sure each trip in the elevator contained to most it could hold. Unpacked elevator into hallway same way, so as not to tie up to the elevators for other residents. Jeremy directed the other crew member well and they were careful with the fragile items I pointed out to them. In and out in just over an hour! I don't mind paying the 2 hour minimum as we are in our mid-fifties and after the amount of time it took us packing up the truck ourselves, the value in paying to have them unload it so efficiently was money will spent.

This team of gentlemen were wonderful. They were on time, very courteous, and very gentle with our stuff. They put everything where I asked and even moved a couple of things after I changed my mind. Anthony asked me to take pictures of crushed boxes, I have not opened anything to access damage. They were so much better than Moving Staffers in Lemon Grove, CA I would definitely recommend Smooth Movers to anyone needing help.

Movers | Moving Made Smooth, Inc.
They were late due to running behind on a previous job. However, the company called ahead of time. We were fine with it, because it gave us more time to get things ready for them to help with. I can't remember the names of the men that helped us, but they were excellent! They were prepared for the job, but we already had all the furniture taken apart and wrapped to make it easier to load the pod. They worked very hard and were extremely efficient! They had a 16-foot pod filled top to bottom within less than 2 hours. We appreciated the fact that utilized all the space in the pod, and we were able to put more in there than we originally thought. They were very respectful of our property. We would definitely use them again.
