I asked around, did some Internet searches, read some reviews and O'Connors Moving's name kept popping up. Heck, my storage unit even put in a good word for them. I called and scheduled a time to move what amounted to a one bedroom apartment's worth of items. O'Connors said three guys could do the job. Then they quoted me a price for three hours with an additional cost if the move took longer. I took their advice and away we went. The day of the move, the guys called and gave me about 15-20 minutes notice and then met me at my storage unit. After we loaded up, we went to my old place and got the rest of my things. Then we all drove to my new place and unloaded. The total time for the move was just over three hours for a fee of around $415*. I added a tip. I admit, I could have moved by myself for less money. At the same time I would have had to ask for volunteers, some of whom would probably flake, and it probably would have taken longer. ThenI would have had to find some way to compensate said volunteers. In this case, O'Connors made it easy, they did the heavy lifting and I was at work after only having to take the morning off. Trustworthy, professional and easy to work with. I'll probably move again one of these days. When I do, I'll call O'Connors for a quote. *Note: Not a huge thing, but O'Connors charged a small fee to drive to and from my move. I'm not sure if everybody does this and I honestly don't remember if it was mentioned when I made my quote, but I wanted to bring it up. It won't preclude me from using O'Connors again, because they were fantastic, but I thought a possible end user who is shopping around might want to know.

John O'Conner came highly recommended by a friend. His company is not the first moving company I've hired (for the record, the only thing I remember about the first was that they used the leg to my girlfriend's massage table as a wheel chock). I had a lot of angst about moving - there's nothing really fun about it. I took several evenings to pack and then two full days of vacation to finish. I spent a fortune on boxes and packing material - not to mention all the new stuff you have to buy for a new place. The only two good things about this experience is that I have a house I'm starting to feel at home in, and I met John O'Conner. A pretty bright guy once shared with me his theory for hiring great people by simply saying he appreciates a list of accomplishments but what he looks for is someone he'd let watch his kids. John is that guy. I'm sure I'll never move myself again, and I'm sure I'll never hire anyone else besides John and his company to do it.

The total amount of time it took was twelve (12!!!!) hours. We paid over $3,400.00 for a move in the same town. The movers literally moved one pillow at a time, one picture at a time, one small box at a time. When I asked them to use a dolly to speed up, one of the movers had a tantrum; he slammed down boxes and crates, breaking several pieces of china we received from our wedding 30 years ago. They put all of our artwork in the grass and the sprinklers came on and ruined most of our pieces (we moved to another apartment therefore we had no control over the sprinklers). Even though they saw the sprinklers go on in the other zones, they didn't think to move our artwork. They were rude. They did NOTHING they promised; didn't put furniture back together, didn't wrap furniture or use any moving blankets even though they were on the truck. I know this company has high reviews but in my opinion they are not authentic.

Given the large distance of my move, I flew to my destination while they drove and even arrived at my apartment before I saw it myself. Knowing that would be a possibility, I had already provided my written consent for my landlord to give them access to my unit while I was away, and they performed beyond expectation. They put my belongings in a neat little pile that did not obstruct my walking path, as well as identified and reported some urgent maintenance issues, which meant one less thing for me to stress about as I tried to settle in. If I had more disposable income, I would have gladly tipped 30% or 40%. They were the most courteous and respectful movers I have ever used. I highly recommend their services.

We have had company moves, overseas moves, and sometimes moved ourselves in a U-Haul. The most efficient way in our vast experience, is not to load the truck until all items are checked off and sitting on the driveway, which was the way Mayflower did things decades ago. Apparently this crew was trained to take items straight into the truck and fit them in as best they could, so they had to partially unload and reload the truck because their packing space was quite limited compared to what their boss allotted for. Poor communication and planning, inefficiency all caused by the owner PLUS lack of coordination topped off by shouting rudeness and maltreatment in the end by the owner... it all adds up to a "never-again" pledge for this senior citizen. I paid 30% higher than I expected from the original quote and they left me frazzled.

We moved about two months ago so I am a little behind in my review…read more So, we were moving from one large apartment (3 bedroom) to another larage apartment (2 bedrooms and a den). We have a lot of stuff. First order of business was to get an estimate from movers. We contacted several different movers, and most would only provide an estimate over the phone. When we contacted A. Arnold they were glad to come out and give us an estimate. I say estimate since it is not a guaranteed rate. What they provide is an estimate of the number of hours they think the move will take and a fixed rate per hour. I will say their hoursly rate was a little higher than other movers, however their rate was for 4 people and most others was for only 3 people, so we got better value. When the estimator came out he walked our apartments and got a good feel for how many hours it would take. Also, there was some things we planned on moving ourselves, which they were fine with. Moving day came and they showed up right on time. Their people continuously worked hard, were professional and courteous. They did a great job wrapping things to protect them during the move. We had wound up moving more stuff ourselves then we had initially anticipated. Their estimate was 8 hours and in actuality it took 6.5 hours. This was the easiest and most stress free move we have ever had. Also, around the time of our move and since we have moved, I have seen other people using different movers. Let me just say the other movers i saw did not wrap and protect their furnishings as well as A. Arnold. You could say it took them more time and we were paying for it, I would say they got everything moved without any damages or issues. When I move again, they are the only ones I am going to call.
