The guys, Drew and Peter, made moving our heavy bits of furniture out of storage a breeze. They even went the extra mile and volunteered to move everything into one unit from two. Blown away by their excellent service, all done with a smile and friendly chatter. Definitely will be using again and recommend this company wholeheartedly. One very grateful customer. Thanks guys.
