My father died last May leaving me with the task of packing and shipping several large antiques [plus lotsa little stuff] to myself in Phoenix and my sister in Seattle. After querying several movers, I chose Shamrock because they said they could do it all -- from building custom made crates for the biggest and most fragile items to extracting the largest piece [an 11'6"" long antique buffet] through a window from my father's 2d story apartment with a crane. Moreover, Shamrock said they'd provide a two crews plus separate trucks for each destination. The Shamrock packers arrived exactly as scheduled early in the morning. By evening everything had been carefully crated or packed, had been carried down to the street from the apartment, and was loaded on the trucks. Then both trucks arrived at their destinations exactly when Shamrock said they would, and the unpacking went as smoothly as the packing had. [Not one single item was damaged during this move!] It's also worth noting that Shamrock provided me with an estimate of the cost before I contracted with them, and that estimate was what I was charged... not a penny more. In short, based on our experience with them, if you have a difficult or no-notice move that must happen quickly, or you have delicate, valuable items that require special handling, Shamrock has the expertise to get the job done for you.
Pros: Expertise and integrity.
Cons: Can't think of any.
