Wonderful, professional. Our items were unloaded with care, particularly the fragile ones that either shifted during the journey or hadn't been stacked correctly. They worked very well together ensuring that every furniture "leg" was extricated from the pod undamaged. Great communication before the job as well. We would highly recommend Armstrong Moving & Labor.

I would highly recommend Armstrong Moving and labor. They were very professional. Very respectful of all my items. If they didn’t know where something went, they asked about it and didn’t just put it somewhere. They went above and beyond to put furniture where it was needed. They were patient and kind in putting a craft desk back together for me, which was challenging. I would definitely use them again!!!!!!

We were moving our daughter from West Coast to the East Coast. Figuring out the logistics of how to move is never easy. We found hire a helper and scheduled with them, hoping that we would get someone reliable. The POD was delivered the day before with a pick up on moving day. We came to learn that the POD pick up was coming much earlier then we expected. I contacted hire helper and told him this. They were over accommodating and came earlier then their scheduled time, early morning. We had an 8x8 pod delivered and it wound up being too small. The hire helper team took their time and put a huge effort into packing every square inch of the POD to get as much in as possible. They could have just packed it and said there isnt enough room, but they really made a huge effort to make it work. In the end, we did have a few items we couldnt fit, but considering what we were faced with, they got just about everything in. This was pretty stressful thinking this was going to go bad, but they made it work. So yes, I would highly recommend them. Very easy to book, great prices, and reliable, with a team who cared.
