I was so worried from the start about helping our daughter move from Brookline, MA to Washington, D.C. We have done this a few times and about a week or even two before the move the panic sets in!
O.k., let's see.... The last two times we did this were not very pleasant. First time the moving company showed up a day late and the movers that they sent were rude and not very fast or careful. Not to mention, the bill naturally came in at a lot more. The second time the movers didn't show up at all! That means dad gets a U-Haul (which took 8 hours of calling around for) and gets it done. Not Good at all. Needless to say, this year we spent considerable time investigating and taking what we have learned and applying it to selecting the right group of people to do the job.
The move with HMS:
Utterly flawless. When I say flawless, I mean flawless.
This company is open 24 hours per day. I have called with questions well past 10:00 at night on a few occasions and have received calls back or immediate email answers! Keith came out, met our daughter and looked and put everything into a tablet computer and emailed us a quote the same day. The pricing was not the least expensive, but it was guaranteed. (I guess you get what you pay for in this business) The dates and times were also guaranteed. The actual move was even better than we could have expected. Their crew wrapped every single item that she had from top to bottom. They moved like an orchestra; fast and furious while being delicate at the same time. The delivery was right on time and without issue. Not a single item was damaged either. Nothing.
If anyone out there is looking for a moving company, HMS is it.
We strongly recommend HMS Moving to anyone out there.
