Professionalism !!!

This is our third move with Meathead and the moving crew did not disappoint. They were friendly, polite, and extremely pleasant to have around in a stressful situation. They hustled, they worked very hard, and they always had smiles on their faces. We were very pleased with this service and this crew and will continue to recommend Meathead Movers to all of our friends. THANK YOU GUYS!!!

Our rep had originally recommended two packers. As the day was getting closer, I panicked and called asking if we could get 2 more. I was told not to worry--that the packers would stay longer than three hours, as long as we needed and get everything packed. I still said we would need more packers. So Jenny agreed and said we could get 4 but that they would not arrive until 11. This concerned me as I knew it would take more than 3 hours. She assured me that it would be fine for them to come at 11 and that they would stay until the job was done. So...we were expecting 4 packers and 3 showed up. They arrived at 11am and after 2 hours of packing, said they had to take a lunch break. I was confused because they had just started and had not even finished one room. They left for 1 hour. Returned at 2 pm and did 1 more hour of work. The mentor said at 3pm...Ok, let's do our final walk through. They were nowhere near done. There was so much stuff left to pack. I told him we needed them to continue and were told they would work past the 3 hour minimum. They reluctantly continued and as I walked around, I found drawers full in the kitchen that they forgot. In other rooms, they would start packing up something and then leave a bunch of stuff on the counter. After a while longer, they said they had to leave. I told them the job wasn't done. There was still stuff everywhere and stuff they had forgotten to put in boxes. They told me that I could buy boxes from them and finish it myself. Um ok....so that's what we did. My issues with the crew that we got: 1--I think they were high. This is fine....I don't care about that. BUT, I'm pretty sure that's why they moved so incredibly slow. We felt like they were packing in slow-mo speed. The kitchen alone with 3 guys took over 2 hours and they missed drawers! 2--When I went to check on one of the guys who was working in our game room (which was the second largest room and a lot of work), I found him texting on his phone. Boxes half packed...he never finished the room. He left stuff from the drawers on the counter. But he had time to text on the clock. 3--When we did our walk through and I asked why certain items were ignored (picture frames, vases, decor), things we discussed packing in the initial walk through, I was told that these items needed to be packed by the movers the next day. They said this was customary and those are the types of things the movers packed. Sure ok....I didn't know. I just accepted that answer. Well, the movers had a heck of a job because when they arrived they had to pack things they shouldn't have had to pack. They seemed shocked that we had hired packers because there was so much left. The move then took them much more time. 4--We've used Meathead for two other moves. We've been super impressed by the guys who have showed up. Friendly, smiley, happy guys who hustle. Our mentor that day was nice. I don't think the other two ever looked me in the eyes when I spoke to them or even responded. They seemed annoyed to be there. I was disappointed in this service. I really thought by hiring the packers, that they would pack the house up and then the movers would move the stuff. My husband, mom, sister and I frantically threw stuff in boxes at the last minute trying to get all the leftovers packed up. This was after I paid over $1000 to have my house "packed up." And just to clarify...this review is JUST for the packing service, and not the awesome crew that moved us the next day.
