AHHH!!! I love, love, love these people.
It is a universally acknowledged truth that moving sucks. Big time. In fact, while carrying empty boxes home last week in preparation for the Big Day, a stranger on the street sympathetically called out to me, "HEY! You're moving? That is one of the worst things you'll ever have to do in your life" (Like I didn't know that).
Enter Simon and Chris, my fantastic WIN VANLINE movers. As if lugging furniture were simply a weekend pastime for these guys, they brought box after miserable box down 4 flights of stairs (no air conditioning, by the way, and the hallway in my old building smells like old cabbage) with big, warm, silly grins on their faces. They were gracious and efficient. Get this, Yelpers: The time that they quoted was exactly (to the minute) accurate. Since I had budgeted a little extra (who doens't go OVER the time they quote?), I just added the surplus onto the guys' tips. They expertly filled the truck with stuff and nothing broke (even a large, precariously packed flat panel TV).
Pros: best
Cons: good
