M Dyer & Sons Inc

MDyer & Sons is simply the BEST! We move around the world every 3years! We have had them move our whole house 2x’s and pack & ship air freight shipments more than 3x’s! Each & every time they have packed us out we’ve had Excellent service! The guys that come to do the packing are awesome! They know HOW to pack household items of every size! We’ve moved around so much & have used companies in the continental USA, in Europe, in South America, in the Caribbean, & in the Mid East — by far these guys are simply superior at their job! I also have to say all of their packing material is top quality! Other moving companies that have packed us have used — used boxes & packing paper, poor quality tape that simply can not compare! We still have some of the packing materials from several years ago that MDyer & Sons used to pack my biggest move — and catch this — the most recent moving company that was packing us out used this old MDyer & Sons packing material! The quality of the packing material used by MDyer & Sons is top notch quality! If you’re looking for a moving company I highly recommend MDyer & Sons! These guys make us proud to be from Hawaii! Efficient, competent, prompt, respectful employees that do a fantastic job! Malama Pono & Mahalo Nui Loa!

What an amazing team! Completely professional, friendly and hard-​working! We’ve been lucky with our military moves and always had good service, but these guys were the best! My husband was playing 80’s dance music when they first arrived and I jokingly told him that «that was my jam». Lol Dang it if the guys didn’t change their radio to that music for me all day! Now THAT is customer service! Would 100% recommend them!

I rely on Unilocal a lot and because I had a bad experience with Royal Hawaiian, I wanted to make sure that I don’t go through the same trouble again.
I read the reviews for Dyer and Sons and I just had to give them a call, service over the phone is very good; I called a couple of times due to issues with my moving dates and location; they stayed flexible and helpful with me.
They scheduled a moving «estimator» to walk through my house to get a quote and not only did he call ahead to give me a heads up he was on his way but was also on time– I must say, he’s a little awkward and maybe just not a people person. I mentioned a couple of times that I will be selling most of my furnitures but was still given a huge truck which quarter was barely filled with my belongings (the truck is mostly where my $ went). 1– star for the estimator, I wish he would’ve listened to me.
On a good note, I would like to give the movers 2x KUDOS for being awesome! They were very courteous, helpful and friendly. They wore D&S shirts unlike other lovers I’ve seen wearing pretty much whatever they want. They also offered to remove their shoes instead of walking around the house recklessly like its their property. (Yes it’s Hawaii, at least ask if shoes on or off). I didn’t have a lot of things to be moved which divided the estimated time and quote in half but it’s also because the movers were ON IT.
All in all, I highly recommend Dyer & Sons for big or small moves, just make sure Mr. Nate listen to your concerns and gives you the appropriate truck to save people (movers) time and money (You).

Hands down, BEST MOVING COMPANY EVER! We’re so appreciative of the team we had, they were professional and outstanding.

I used MDyer in Oct. 14. A large move, about 5 crates and a bed crate as well. later another 1 – 2 ”self store crates”. EXCELLENT workers. Came early afternoon and left 7:30pm. I had more in the end, than I’d expected. Had to bring more crates etc. I had much of my own packing materials, bought from Public Storage prior to MDyer. Was told that they would use mine first then supplement. I believe man’s name was Steve. Well done.
Stuff in storage for 8 months. This move, to Waikiki. I needed 3 men, one to watch to make certain items don’t get pilfered! (Get a friend to do so and use all 3 to pack and haul is my plan this move.) My bill was figured out by lead guy when all was done. He’d counted their boxes, had spent tape rolls, knew how much news print used etc. Final bill when pau as they left that night. I wrote a check and all was good. Oh, MDyer didn’t want to take a credit card for a LOCAL move, only for mainland move. Then eventually did, but charged me a percentage for using it each month to pay storage.
Fast forward 8 months:
Move in was not great. Young 19 yr old who carried my sewing machine case with handle with LARGE print on it, DO NOT USE HANDLE, WILL BREAK! I’m local but he’s only been in US since age 15. I told him STOP, CARRY IT WITH YOUR ARMS. It didn’t fall or would have been more damage to my Bernina machine!
Workers carried up my Temperpedic mattress, folded in half! IT went out held vertically by two strong men! It’s stored flat in crate to protect the bed. It is NOT to be folded over or stored on end. This mattress having been flat in storage for 8 mos was then bent in two like a piece of bread! The cover on the bottom ripped where these yoyo’s were carrying it!!! The material isn’t meant to be pulled like that.
Filed a claim but due to my ongoing divorce, I have only just filed claim before end of year. Supposedly they most probably will pay out claim, $ 250. I had scratch on night stand that I didn’t see because I’d (Ms. smarty pants!) decided I’d guard my stuff and you paid guys, unpack my things. I MISSED IT when it was placed in the room. The table mat I’d kept on top of table but in drawer for move, was put on by them. It hid the scratch until I went to turn it over (wrong side up) JUST AFTER THEY’D LEFT. Too late so had to let that go!
Move out crew great, this bunch about 66% ok. Young 19 yr old should not have this job.
I requested a new estimate from them for my current move end of June 2015. I was confused, got time wrong and I was about 20 mins late. Estimator called to say he was in lobby. Oops, I’m about 15 – 20 mins away. I told him I got time wrong apologized and got there.
Came to see apt. Told him no beds and not all he saw in condo would go. Told him I had some moving materials I’d saved (Dishpack boxes and lots of newsprint) from last move as well as items they’d packed and NEVER unpacked. I was told,” We’ll use ours.“
Oh, I have 2 storage lockers which also came from house, but never into apt. He quoted me $ 950 for packing MATERIALS, and then the truck and 3 men which is standard, as well as 8 (EIGHT) hours to do this move, $ 1454.00. I know that it’s travel time as well. In total, $ 2800. and change. Last move was about $ 2200.
Tate had to send two emails, one I never received. Then another did come, into my junk. I found it. He asked if Id read it and hadn’t at that time.
After seeing the cost I sent him email saying I was shocked by this estimate! How can you come up with 4400 lbs of stuff, no beds! no appliances, some items still in packing boxes from last move, some things fro last move in storage locker, huh?
I said unless you can come up with a better price, I’ll have to find another mover. He came back with email saying, I hope you find a company that meets your expectations! I went back to him and said I don’t understand your attitude. How can you explain this? Then he said if it takes less you’ll be billed less! So pick a wild number and run with it is that ”an estimate”?
Note, they are an ESOP company I was told. Tate has been with MDyer for 28 yrs. He’s got experience. I asked and was told that they have «80 strong» as employee owners. Well this attitude implying take it or leave it, no explanation of how he came up with that amount is not on.
I’ve called another company that I’d called last time. It was a toss up but I’d decided that I didn’t need pods and choose MDyer. I’ve now called the other one who will come and give me an estimate. Even if it were the same, the attitude of Tate has put a sour taste in my mouth.

Moving is stressful… and you can either have people who know that or they don’t… I had a fantastic experience with M. Dyer and Sons. I had a crew of 3… Val, Fred and Jayar. They came in, introduced themselves, explained to me their process, and got right to it. They asked me if I had any concerns about anything at all regarding what they were packing. The best way I can describe it is that they «smoked» it. They methodically and efficiently went through each room, and I even had a hard time getting them to take a decent lunch break. They flexed with me in a few areas, and really made it as painless as possible. My sincerest thanks to the company for sending me this crew of three, who were professional, yet warm and fun. A huge Mahalo!

Highly recommend. Just finished 3 days of packing and loading yesterday in AMR for our move to Maryland. Very friendly and respectful guys. I truly appreciate the care they took in packing our things especially those things that may not seem important but are to me. Thank you for putting us at ease for our move back to the mainland.

Highly recommend! Being in the military, I’ve moved a lot, and Dyer & Sons are as good as it gets. My move from Hawaii to San Diego (Jul2014) went very smoothly. All the movers (3) were very professional and packed up everything very carefully and moved quickly. No wasted time or idle chit-​chat. Fortunately, I had good movers to unpack me in CA. Very pleased!!! Would definitely request this company again!

From estimate to move out, M. Dyer & Sons, Inc. was amazing!!! I highly recommend this company if you’re moving. I called for an estimate and they immediately scheduled something and the estimator was there exactly on time. He then sent me a quote within a day! I had to fill out forms, etc. ahead of my move and since they needed a original signature from me, the guy who came to do my estimate came back to pick the docs up from me. I mean, such great service. The day before my move, the office calls to give me an estimated time of arrival. Three guys show up with the truck and come on time as scheduled, introduced themselves. They took a look around to see what needs to be packed, they went and got their supplies, and each tackled a room and they were so awesome and professional and they packed my things with such care. I even had a few high priced items, that I had insured and the packer really took the time to ensure that it was packed carefully. I was absolutely amazed by how organized and professional they were. Great company and I wouldn’t use anyone else!

Fantastic experience with this company. Third time I’ve had the pleasure of one of their teams moving us, both across the island, receiving our things on island and packing us out to depart the island.
Team was very courteous, well mannered and dressed as a professional packing company (casual, but clean and neat). They didn’t expect to be fed by us (though we do that anyway) and were very appreciative of it. If they had a question, they asked right away instead of letting it delay the pack. They took into account all our manias (minimizing the break down of furniture where they could, asking us how to minimize the pain at the other end when they couldn’t accommodate us) and really just taking care of business in a rapid, careful and convenient way.
Highly recommend them for at least an estimate even if you choose to go with someone else.
Happy moving!

What a great company! Our move from the mainland of some very precious (to us) items went smoothly and without a hitch. Steve and Penny are so friendly, courteous and, above all, efficient. Everything arrived from its voyage across the Pacific without a scratch. Our one casualty was a piece of glassware which cracked. Otherwise everything was perfect. The shippers on the mainland side knew exactly what they were doing, and the delivery on this side was also pleasant and efficient. Well we hope we never have to move again (it is never fun) but I can heartily recommend the folks at M Dyer. They will take good care of you if our experience is in any way typical and I trust that it probably is! Aloha.

Dyer and Sons delivered my stuff from the east coast. The guys were very friendly, fast, and respectful of my place and my belongings. One of the local guys pointed out places I should try to go eat at.

What a great company to deal with! Working under a two-​week deadline and short notice, they gave us an estimate, packed our stuff into a crate (filled it to the brim!), and shipped it for us to California. On the California side, movers delivered our stuff, unpacked it. and hauled away the packing materials. Everyone we dealt with was friendly, courteous and capable. Not a single thing was damaged or broken. We had furniture, pictures, glassware — lots of boxes (some of which we packed ourselves). It was a pleasant experience — I would highly recommend them. In addition the great service. their price was nearly half of another estimate we had gotten.

I was contracted to M. Dyer and sons through a company called Compass International for my move from Hawaii to California. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the service they provided. Three nice young people spent the day at my house packing all my stuff. They worked hard and were pleasant company. They packed my possessions with more care than I would myself. What would have taken my wife and I two weeks to pack, was done in about 8 hours by the crew. I am sorry I don’t remember all their names but the lady was named,“Chass”.
When my stuff got to my new home five weeks later not one thing was broken. All my glasses and dishes were fine. And the price arranged by Compass International was a bargain for the service provided. As a footnote, in contrast, the company in California sent two surly mopes to deliver the stuff to my house that tried to weasel out and run away from the unpacking and cleanup they were supposed to do.
