The People Movers

Avoid if you can. They work inefficiently: It took 5.75 hours for them to move a mostly boxed 2 bed apt resulting in spurious bills. (FYI, it took 3 hours last year when I moved in using another moving company.) More details of my experience follow:



I chose The People Movers over other companies due to the positive reviews linked in their webpage. I wrote a negative review but my review does not appear at all. Given this, I am inclined to think that those positive reviews are not genuine, or negative reviews are filtered out.



Workers arrived one hour late and made constant complaints ("boxes are packed too heavy"). I can not help feeling that workers emphasized their difficulty to justify their prolonged hours, frequent breaks, and higher fee. The final bill was $250 more than what was initially estimated. I called the main office and left voice messages expressing my concern for the final bill. I did not get their response yet.



The workers refused to move items that were not "properly" boxed. Consequently, I myself moved 42" flat screen TV and numerous small items. To their credit, my furniture were wrapped and arrived without major damage.
