Excellent service by the 3-man crew. They arrived on time, got right to work, and finished and an hour earlier then my estimate. Our belongings were treated with care and the trailer was packed and strapped efficiently. They were also a jolly bunch which eased my anxiety. I highly recommend Vyking Moving Company and would use them again.

I liked the crew very much. I just wish they realized sooner not everything would fit into the POD at such a late hour. That said, they did all they could. They were honest and very careful. The week they came, the move was delayed by both the pod company and a tropical storm, but Pluto was as flexible as possible. This crew had to exhausted trying to catch up so the oversights of some items is hardly an issue for me. They were professional, courteous and always wore their masks

Lucas movers were just the best during a stressful time. They were punctual, prepared, and expert at getting large furniture moved without damage to the furniture or doorways. They definitely know how to organize a move, load a truck and get things done quickly. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Pro: on time, polite, packed the container compactly Con: did not bring equipment like tie-down ropes; overestimated the strength of IKEA particle board furniture and put them on the bottom - one item ended up damaged

The guys were experts and exceeded our expectations. They were late due in large part to a terrible accident on I-95 which is certainly not their fault. There was one hitch in the move, the refrigerator door needed to come off in order to go into the house and it was a problem. They had the tools and got it done and back together perfectly. We won't just recommend them - we highly recommend them! We'll be using them for our next move for sure.
