Moving

This was my first experience with a moving company. I had a limited amount of money to move with and the owner worked with me and stayed totally in my budget. Even cut the price down for me. AMAZING.
The moving crew although a bit rough looking were extremely professional. These guys really knew what they were doing. They were quick and efficient and didn't mind moving specific boxes to the rooms I had written on them. They even assembled my bed and entertainment unit for me as I am a single woman and it would have been a nightmare for me to do it myself.
Let me just say my tips were very generous.
Thank You ABS

Moving

We had doe all the arranging of our boxes, with labels and organized EVERYTHING. ALL the movers had to do was load the items in the truck carefully, and then load them off at my new house. Well it didn't happen that way. Three guys show up, hlaf-tired and gumpy. When they looked at what they had to moce, they were upset! I mean, "you're moving a HOUSE, not some college students dorm". Anyways, took them FOREVER just to load the truck. They did an organized loading though. But when it came time to unload, they hurrled my things into the house at random. I suppose it is regular practice for this company to require payment INFULL before the move is finished, because they did it to me too! I was left with such a horrible feeling that took me more than a week to get over. BEWARE.

Our policy regarding payment is to request it shortly before the end of the move. This is to avoid having to add time to go to the bank after the move is completed.
The time it takes to move also depends on the weight, size, shape of certain items, and other factors.
At ABS we listen to our customers, so please give us a call if you have any issues with your move.

Moving

The crew did not look very professional. Although they didn't do anything offensive, they did not act as professional as other movers I have used. Guys were friendly and did work quickly but they demanded payment before the move was completed. It seemed like they were more interested in getting paid than getting the work done in a satisfactory manner. The movers did not know that a discount had been arranged and when the office was called to confirm, the office refused to honor the discount unless we paid in cash but this was not explained at the time of booking. Overall, the move was successful but it was just luck and I don't have much confidence in the company for future moves.

Dear Rhonda,
Thank for your review. Our workers although casual in their dressing are always very professional and particularly responsible. It’s our policy to get payment when the work is almost finished. Regarding any dispute about a discount, please give us a call immediately to apply it to your move.

Moving from a 2nd floor apt to a small bungalow

A friend of mine recommended this company to me because she had a good experience with them. Unfortunately, I did not. Two movers showed up. One was friendly while the other - the one in charge - was aloof and spent the whole time with a cellphone in his ear chatting up his friends while loading up the truck. At one point, I was surprised to see him actually throw one of my boxes on top of a pile of boxes. Once my things were all loaded up, we drove across town and at the other end they began to stress out as they were running out of time for their next scheduled appointment. So I began helping them out. Half the stuff was quickly put into my house in a half-hazard way. I had labelled my boxes as to where I wanted them (i.e. kitchen or basement), but they paid no attention to that. I was asked to pay before the job was finished. The other half of my things were quickly unloaded onto the driveway for me to bring into the house all by myself!

Dear Ponyta.
We have spoken to our movers about leaving boxes on the driveway. We have established that part of the moving requires that we sometimes leave objects at intervals to make the work more manageable. We have tried to contact Ponyta but have been unable to contact you. If you happen to read this response please feel free to contact us to make up for any of our shortcomings.

I've used these guys twice now and my brother and a friend has also used them. They were super fast, careful and made moving day better than I could have imagined.

Home Moving

Guys took forever to unload a 26 foot truck. Workers complained about taking their shoes off in a BRAND NEW HOUSE with hardwood floors (what mover doesn't take off their shoes in a customers home???).... Made a big deal about having to lay out rugs in the house. Took their time the whole day, until the last hour, then demanded payment in full BEFORE the move was completed!! When I refused to pay until the job was done, the owner ordered the movers to stop moving my times until they were paid! They unloaded the rest of the items into the garage and left!

I believe this is a good company, but it depends which group of workers the company sends you.

when it comes to you personal possessions, spend a little more money, and hire professional movers who'll do a complete job.

Dear customer:

Regarding new floor. Sometimes there are special requests that need to be dealt with our main office. Moving heavy objects without shoes can be unsafe and can lead to a work accident. Please call us about special requests, such us varnished floors. On such occasions we spread floor pads or runners and put booties on shoes to avoid damage.
Generally, our movers get payment from the customer before or just before the end of the move. In more than 20 years, our experience shows that more than 99% of the customers we have served are satisfied with our services and payment arrangements.
