Communication at first was a little hard but Tom actually went above and beyond to move some things around to get us all set up. When the guys came down, it was a week after the big blizzard in NYC, so getting around was a bit rough, but these guys didn't blink. We also probably had about 10-20% more than we thought we did and the guys just kept at it. Seeing them pack the truck was like watching a real life tetris game. After the drive up, they loaded everything into our living room per our request, took a well deserved beer break (it was the least we could offer) and they even gave us some recommendations on where to get some dinner. Also, not a thing was broken.

We personally feel that Lamanna was worth even more than we paid (Important to note that we've moved twice from NYC in the past 5 years, and city prices are very different.) I really thought I'd written this review already, but you know how crazy it can be when you move. I've got specifics about the guys on the crew, but I don't have the notes right now and can't remember, it's just too hectic still. Just know that Lamanna was prompt, careful, friendly, and super helpful. They are *serious* about being a good crew, and we were lucky to be able to book them. Steve was even good enough to help keep me from having a meltdown about a month before our move! I hope to update this later after we've actually settled in better, but honestly, things just keep piling up and I don't know when I'll get to it.

Service was efficient but still very careful to protect our belongings and the safety pf the 5 man crew. Everyone was very professional and our move went off without a hitch. Lamana's knows what they are doing. We packed our personal items, so the crew only had to move the furniture & boxes. They just needed us to direct them as to placement in our new house. In all, the entire process took about 5 hours. We should note my husband is immune compromised and all staff took precautions when it came to pandemic precautions. We are grateful for their professionalism and concern, in this regard. There was a GREAT article about Lamana's in the Albany Times Union on 9/2/20, this is a multigenerational family run business and they deserve the high praise and recognition. I've already passed them on to another friend who will be moving in the near future and to our realtor. I do recommend calling & booking as soon as you have a closing date. We were able to get them within a few days of our closing, but with the good press and so many happy customers, I'd say they're only going to get busier. Great job. Great local business. Can't say enough great things about them.

My closing date was pushed for three weeks very ambiguously (every other day, the target was…read moremoving). When I finally had a close date, I called the movers I had tentatively booked earlier. They told me they were no longer available until September--after my lease is up. They asked me to hold while they checked if something could be done. Naturally, I started freaking the heck out. To add to the stress, I underwent emergency surgery two weeks earlier, and now could not finish packing my apartment. I searched Google reviews for movers who also offered packing services, and reached out to Pony Express right away. I said that my scheduled movers may not be able to move me anymore, and asked about availability. I received a response from Mike almost immediately, who told me he could absolutely help me out before the end of September, and we made plans to communicate the next day. It turns out that my original mover was able to make a miracle happen and I didn't need to use Pony Express after all, but I was so impressed by Mike's service and help. I know that I will be calling them next time I move--which, let's face it, after all this stress, I hope is never.

Upon visiting their website, you'll find an esitmate request, which looks to be used for astetics only as the 'gentlemen' (I use this term liberally as his demeanor was anything but) who called me back had no idea what I wanted done. Upon originally conversing with them I was under the impression that my requests were capable of being fufilled. Today as I get closer to moving today I give a follow up call just to make sure everything is in order. (I'm meticulous like that due to past instances of what I'm about to describe) I am now told that because my moving date lands on a Sunday, my move isn't big enough to justify the work. Mind you, I'm moving across town (from Troy to Albany) Apparently their no hourly minimum claim on the website is only when they feel like working. Roll the dice I guess. They may provide excellent work when they take the time to do so but I can only rate them based on my experience which in this case was quite lackluster.

The movers also kept complaining about heavy items, which made the whole process feel uncomfortable and unprofessional. They also caused damage and then tried to hide. They broke a leg off my bed, said nothing, and left the broken leg on the floor under the bed as if I wouldn't notice. They also dropped a fragile box down the stairs and later insisted they "checked everything" and nothing was broken, which was simply untrue. Their solution to fixing the bed was even more unacceptable. They sent someone out to put epoxy on a part that had previously been soldered, which didn't work at all. Now I'm left with a damaged bed, a box of shards of glass that was previously worth hundreds and a terrible overall experience.
