Movers
I've used professional movers 3 times in the last 4 years. The crew from Elephant Moving and Storage were by far the BEST moving crew I've ever seen. If I remember correctly, the crew leader was Jose. He and the 3 other guys were awesome. They were clean, prompt, polite, and reasonably priced. Not one thing was broken or scratched during our Austin move. They wrapped and padded all our delicate furniture and bedding. They were very fast, very efficient. I was originally worried because we did not buy additional moving insurance, but that was clearly not needed. These guys know exactly what they are doing. Don't bother shopping around it will be a waste of your time. I doubt you can find better movers at any price! Highly recommended!
I hired Elephant Moving to move our home to Maryland. I think they did a magnificent job with our out of state relocation. Since my company was paying for the move we had the movers pack everything as well. The company sent an estimator to do a walk through and tell us the cost beforehand. He was really nice and helpful and answered a lot of our questions when he came out. He seemed to really know his stuff and we definitely felt confident that the company could do a great job on our move. The office staff was also helpful before the move and made sure we understood the quote and the insurance and had all our questions answered so that when the movers showed up all they had to do was get to work! Jose and the rest of the guys who packed us up were hardworking and polite and did a great job packing everything with a lot of care. It took about a week for our stuff to get to our new house and the delivery crew was also very professional and did a nice job. They were great about asking where we wanted everything and set up the new place just like we asked. I was very happy with the service we received and would recommend them to anyone moving out of state.
