I contacted a few companies to see if anyone was available to move an armoire I had just purchased. JC was able to fit me in quickly and for a reasonable price. The company I purchased the armoire from wouldn’t bring it up my stairs so I needed movers to bring it from my entryway up a flight of stairs to my bedroom. I have an old colonial so the stairs and hallways are tight. The two movers arrived punctual and were very kind. Honestly from the first phone call it felt like I was just talking to friends. They were able to move the 215 lb armoire upstairs without any mishaps. They even put the feet on for me and took the trash! I’m so grateful they were able to help me with this task. It also put me at ease that the company is insured just in case! I will definitely use them again in the future for big or small moves! Highly recommend. Read More

Being new to the area, I was referred to JC Moving from Facebook group South Portland. Three movers arrived on time to my move. My move consisted of two stops, my apartment and then to my storage locker to move my belongings to my new home. I had everything taken apart and in boxes, When we arrived at the storage unit. All was well, until one guy dropped my table (breaking the legs off of it) and threw a tantrum. And it all fell apart. Everyone stopped working. F this, F that, I quit!. I'm dumbfounded. I look at the other movers who are just watching. One of the other guys says that he has a tantrum every move and you just have to wait... After the tantrum, he decided they couldn't move all of my stuff that day and that I would need to hire them again the next day to finish the job. He knows there is another truck available tomorrow. (What?) The truck from the apartment was packed well, using all the space to the ceiling, the second half of the truck is packed only waist high. And what was left was mostly totes that would easily stack. Salvaging the day I have planned for weeks, I get more stuff loaded (but not everything) and let them know I would not be hiring them again the next day to finish the move. I give them the address of my house 2.5 hours north, and go back to get my cat. I arrive to find the truck waiting halfway down the driveway, backwards. Same guy, another tantrum. - Not willing to drive the truck down the 2% grade. (Why am I negotiating with Movers to do their job?) I tell them that the previous owners had movers that had no problem, one of the other movers grabbed the keys from him and drove the truck to my house without issue. I had them unload and leave. Total bill ? $2760. truck fee $250.00 move labor 7:30-9:30 14@ $180.00 $2,520.00 14 hours of labor - 2 hours of which they stopped working during their tantrum and 5 hours of them sitting in the truck - driving 2 1/2 hours each way (Yes, they charge full price for them to return home from the move as well.) Two main issues. I'm paying a crew $180/hour, having to manage their issues and negotiate what they will and will not put into the truck. Most importantly, my move was not completed, and I will have to finish the move myself, which I would have done in the first place, knowing what I know now. (see more below*) I give Ben, the owner, a chance to make it right. His response - "Sorry you had that experience, hard to find good workers, how about I give you $200 for your truck rental?" My response? 'Ben, that's completely underwhelming.' I call and out-of-state friend to help me with the logistics of moving the rest of my stuff. I: Rent a truck drive down load drive back unload on July 4th weekend. Another 10 hours of my life, but I am all moved. I submitted my expenses with pictures to Ben a week ago. Haven't heard back from him. What was left fit in 1/2 of a 10' truck. (Picture of what was left below) It would easily have been able to be completed if they had packed the second half of the truck to the ceiling. This was a thoroughly unprofessional and expensive experience. *Here's the helpful information I learned: If you are a packer and planner and can drive your own truck, U-haul gives you the option to hire movers to load at each destination. You can have them load the truck where you're moving from (2 hours, 4 hours, you pick), and then hire a different company to unload it when you arrive at your destination. This would have been 1/4 of the cost of hiring "professional" movers. Read More
