Heavy Foot Movers was exactly what I needed. Eric and Mundo had the fun task of packing a well furnished 2BR/2BA with garage goods into a large POD. I showed them the large pile up to the ceiling I had made in my living room because it was about the same size at the POD. They both asked if that was it and I showed them two Wish List piles of furniture in the garage, a kayak, and I even asked that if they could get the queen bed in there, I would be amazed. Let's just say it was the most efficiently packed POD with everything inside and secured and I found myself making a hotel reservation for the night because I was out of a bed and everything else I didn't expect to fit. They also did it well within the window I had prepaid for. They were very professional wanting to know what it was I wanted done, impossible or not, and how long they had. Then they were off and running to great results.

They communicated ahead of time and during the move. Both guys were friendly. Got the whole move done fast and without damage. Tried their best to get a piece of furniture in and, when it didn't fit, helped us move it back out. Highly, highly recommend for your move!
