Anchor Moving

You pay for what you get, we spent 1000+ dollars for an in town move. They did a very half ass job of putting the furniture together, our bed frame broke a week in because they left 6 screws out. I would recommend looking elsewhere.

The guys that moved us were awesome! 1 was late getting there 1 was on his first day but they all seemed to really care about our stuff and making sure our move was painless.

A friend used Anchor to move two years ago, so I checked their rates and decided to hire two trucks with four movers. They arrived right on time, and were done loading my two story home in 3 hours. We drove to the new home and everything was unloaded in less than 2 hours. Fantastic job, NOTHING damaged. Five stars and a high recommendation!

I used Anchor Moving 2 times in the last 6 months. Once to move my Mom out of her home into a retirement community and for local move. I couldn’t have been happier. Professional, courteous, and reasonably priced.

Maybe it’s because there was some snow on the ground, or maybe it’s because they don’t get as many jobs in winter and didn’t need to rush our move, but I’ve never seen movers work so slowly. We ended up asking them to drop things at the front of the house so we could carry them to the proper rooms, just to get the thing done. We could have done it just as quickly if we’d called up a few friends.
Part of my disappointment is probably due to how highly recommended this company was by friends who had used them — in any case, we didn’t have the A team and it cost us. I thought hiring movers was supposed to make it LESS stressful.

In hindsight, I should have estimated that we had more stuff than I thought we had, but the problem was we needed to give them an estimate of the number of boxes we’d have 3 weeks out from the move, when most of our stuff still hadn’t been packed yet. We guessed way too low, so they were not able to get all of our boxes on the two trucks and we were left to move a bunch of that stuff ourselves, but that was our fault, not Anchor’s. I wish that they could have sent someone out to our house to give us a better estimate up front, but they don’t do it that way. That’s the only knock I have against them.
As for the stuff they DID move, they did a great job. We were quoted one 35′ truck, and they arrived with two trucks (about 22′ each) and three men. They were able to get ALL of our big stuff (furniture and other large junk) on the two trucks, and they did it in less time than I was expecting. They were also very friendly, professional, and respectful, and as far as I can tell, they didn’t damage anything (!!). And they did all of this at about a THIRD of the price that we were quoted by Two Men and a Truck.
So overall we were very pleased with their service and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good, local budget moving company.
