We were extremely stressed out about a moving experience that promised to be brutal. We had to empty the house we were selling on day one, have our stuff overnighted on the truck, then move into our new house the next day after back-to-back settlements. We knew we needed reliable, caring, professional movers to keep us sane!
After contacting 3 other movers on the phone, I finally called John at Old City Movers. He was the only one to actually come out to our house to see how much we had. He was really friendly and smart, and assured us that we would be in good hands.
On moving day, three friendly, creative, confidence-inspiring guys showed up right on time. They got right to work, on the hottest day of season, and kept up a lightening pace, all the while smiling and chatting and keeping a positive vibe in the air. For me, I think it was that combination of high efficiency coupled with the relaxed and fun attitude that kept me sane.
The next day's crew consisted of two new guys plus one from the day before. (I'm so sorry I can't remember your names!) They were all such amazingly creative guys--art-types, musicians--people we would have hung out with 15 years ago when we lived in Northern Liberties.
I had heard horror stories from friends using other movers who actually had scary guys smelling of alcohol show up to move. There is something about the culture inside Old City Movers that promotes a real dedication in the guys who work there. They all seem to be highly invested in the business, and thus take on a real level of responsibility to the clients. This was evident at every turn.
Let's face it, moving is stressful. Having movers who CARE is priceless. These guys rock!!!!!!
Pros: Friendly, professional, caring, funny, on-time, stress-free!
Cons: NONE
