Six weeks later, when renovations were finished, I hired a different company to bring our stuff from garage to upstairs. I kept telling them we had a lot of things, and please send a lot of people. They came out, assured me I had a very LIGHT move, gave me estimate. On the morning of, three polite, clean, college kids show up at my door. They were finished in TWO AND A HALF hours - less time than what they quoted. Didn't take a single break even though I told them they could.
Let me summarize: late arrival, non-stop complaining, non-stop soliciting gratuity, non-stop smoking, broke several items, dragged their feet, took countless breaks, stole some electronics, ended up paying triple what we were quoted.
Another local business that i prefer. I have used them for both of my moves. First was from Bristol to Southington. Great experience on that one. Then we used again for our last move from Southinton to Plainville. Good again. They are right in town of the 72 / 84 On Ramp. A little tricky to find but they have a sign in front of their shop by the highway. Only $99 per hour for men and a truck. Great little company. Hard workers.
Biggest nightmare to date, and I have moved/lived in 9 different states over the years.
They showed up an hour late, brought a small truck, and told me it was my fault because they thought it was going to be a smaller job from how I described it. I have read other reviews where they pull this trick - they bring a small truck so they have to do several runs and milk that hourly rate.
Instead of estimated 3 hours, they took NINE HOURS. At the end, my husband had to start moving boxes with them, because it was very obvious they weren't going to get done.
You will be tricked by the very very very low initial estimate and a nice guy Gregg on the phone. DO NOT TRUST THIS, YOU WILL END UP PAYING DOUBLE OR TRIPLE.
Nothing to complain about and nothing to really write home about. Average move. No nightmares but it did cost an hour over what we were told. We would use them again as compared to TwoMen and a Truck or Father and Son, those companies were much more expensive.
Advantage boys worked hard for us! We have already recommended them to or daughter for their move. A very good bunch of hard workers at this business. Thank you for the great service.
They broke a couple of ceramic vases and a few of my husband's electronics never turned up - again, I'm reading other reviews that these people steal. Not surprised in the least, they looked derelict.
The second company had higher rates and higher estimate, but we SAVED because they were so professional. Not to mention the hundreds of dollars we lost in damaged and broken items, and stolen items.
Super nice gentlemen. Mike and Tyler were great. They really did a great job. We were very pleased. When they arrived they came right up and shook our hands and explained the contract and got right to work. After our closing, when we arrived at our new home in Rocky Hill, they were already they're with the trucks set up and ready too unload. Put togethor our beds and even helped unload my cars!!!!!!!! : ) : ) : ) : )
There were two men: the older one was disheveled, had open sores on his arms and decaying teeth. He told us at least a dozen times how they expected to get gratuity, and we can leave a tip on the card or cash. He couldn't stop talking about the tip. He complained non-stop about how much furniture we had and how heavy everything was. He dragged his feet. They both took 4-5 cigarette breaks each hour - I have read others say they smoked while moving. In our case they actually stopped and treated themselves to nice 5 minute breaks every time. So out of every hour maybe they worked 30 minutes, and even that was SLOW SLOW SLOW. Even my neighbor came out to ask why they were taking so many breaks.
I cannot believe these people are still in business. Please know that every day you get up and go to work you're ruining someone's day. Moving is already the most stressful experience, and you turn it into a nightmare. Please consider changing your business model. Lying and stealing and damaging peoples property is not it. This is just awful!!!!
We were moving to a new house about 5 miles away, 12-15 pieces of furniture and about 20 boxes. The new house was being remodeled, so all they had to do is bring stuff over and put everything in the garage.
