Need suggestions for good loading and unloading services. (upack, renting, moved)

[optimisticStar]

Hello,

I reserved upack relocube for my move and they suggested Moving Staffers for loading and unloading. My employer is suggesting to use Moving Help loading and unloading services. Reviews for both of these are worst. Also with Moving Help I was reading that they charge for services, but the helpers actually never shows up.

Any other good loading and unloading service providers?

It's hit or miss. If you know anyone that has moved recently, ask them.

Not sure how far you are moving but when we moved 1k miles we asked the manager of the apartments we were renting if they had a name of someone local. We got good service out of the local company they suggested.

Ohh that sounds like a good idea... I can check with manager of my apt if they know anyone good around in the area and then for someone on the destination side I can ask manager there or book someone separately. I am moving cross country from KS to CA.

I also came across Simple Moving Labor, but they too have not so great reviews. However they do look better than Moving help or Moving Staffers.

Are they offering to pay for this service? Is it paid ONLY if you use their contact?

That's a LOCAL question. At both ends.

If you were moving to my town I could recommend a reliable guy who does this sort of thing.
He'll show up with his help and they'll stay at it until it's done and be careful and helpful...
but he isn't gonna charge any LESS than anyone else doing this sort of work.

My employer is going to pay for any loading and unloading services as long as my name is on the receipt.

Unfortunately I am moving from KS to CA and from your profile looks like you are in NC. I don't have personal connections around, so I can just check with leasing office or will have to rely on some service provider.
