Pros: The three movers. Quick, efficient,strong (!) and professional. The move itself went well and smoothly.
Cons: The administration. The pick-up was fine (a couple of hours later than booked, but that can't always be helped), but the delivery was an entire day earlier than booked (!) - luckily someone happened to be home, albeit unprepared, and then the company sent an invoice and complained that they had expected payment on delivery (well, if you had delivered on the right day!). In addition, when booking three weeks before the move I had made a special request but was not informed

What an awesome & I would go so far to say awesome job these young men did with our move. Reasonable, yes by all accounts. Prompt arrival time, cautious with your furniture. Respectfull, and we're very fast getting the job done. No problems without the stress we experienced on our past move. Promises were kept regarding quote and truck used to do the job. Class Act! Thank-you James Movers.
