Per Man Per Hour

Scheduling
What we needed was a 26′ trailer and a second smaller trailer unloaded into our new home. Just a ton of boxes and furniture moved from driveway to house. I called a few places and was very surprised at the wide range of quotes and the many absurd policies that some companies have out there. One company, who’s a big name mover in town, quoted me a thousand dollars for two men to unload and claimed it would take a full day, possibly longer. And they said that I had to pay an additional $ 100+ to cover the time their guys spend driving to and from my house even though I live in COSP. This was absurd. Another place told me that I’d have to pay for plastic and other supplies to avoid scratching the floors when my items are drug in. Then there was Per Man Per Hour. I called and a very professional sounding lady answered and I explained what I wanted. I kept asking questions trying to find their «gotcha». Ultimately there was none. An additional $ 50 for moving of a 900 pound gun safe off of a semi trailer, but that’s totally understandable. So she got that I was concerned with getting it done all in one day. Every other place said 2 men and at minimum a full day. She didn’t think it would be this long but understood that I had my concerns given that the biggest complaints online are of ow workers milking the clock and substantially raising the cost. So she offered me 3 people at a price that was still hundreds less than the other big company. So feeling good about this I went ahead and booked it.
Moving day
So fast forward a few days and my trailers have arrived, my wife is at home, and I’m out of town on business. These three guys show up, not only on time bit a few minutes early even. They were professional, polite, and immediately got to work. My wife kept me updated and was shocked at how fast they moved. In under an hour and a half they had emptied a 26′ trailer. Yes a semi trailer emptied and all furniture and boxes taken throughout a 3 story home. She said they never stopped or even slowed down. Expecting them to slow down as they ran out of steam I told my wife to be sure to order pizza for them to say thanks for working so hard, but they ruined my plans by being completely done before it was even lunch time. They even swept the trailers out for us and we’re going to assemble the furniture for my wife but she couldn’t figure out where the bag of bolts had gone in the move. I can not stress enough about how overly satisfied I am with this company. I had so many fears with my wife and children there alone with strange men but she told me that none of them were creepy, they were very kind and went out of their way to ensure everything was done to her liking. The total cost ended up being a third of what the other guys wanted to charge me and it was done in half the time. A third the price… for more people in half the time…
