Very disappointed. I chose the wrong company!
As I was planning my move I spoke w/several moving companies. I was impressed w/the woman at 5 Star as she was very kind and she took the time to go over a detailed list of all the items I would be moving. She recommended 3 men which I agreed to and she estimated my move to be around 6 hours. The day of the move the movers had to call for directions to my house which did not seem professional to me. They also had to call--twice for directions to the new house. I understand that wrapping everything takes time but it took from 10:45 'til after 4:00 to get loaded. At one point they told me they couldn't get everything on the truck and would need to make 2 trips. I was not about to allow that as the dollars were adding up. The most disturbing thing that happened was that the movers wrapped my 10 drawer heavy dresser w/the drawers in it and then attempted to carry it down a flight of stairs. In the process they put a hole in my wall and they were moaning ahd screaming trying to get the dresser down. I had to leave the room. They then used my spakling to patch the hole and I had to finish the repair and paint the wall. My moving estimate was $690.00. The move actually cost me over $1,400.00!!. I would not recommend 5 Star to anyone. In fact most people I have told about the dresser incident said they would have fired them on the spot. That sounds appropriate but then I wouldn't have gotten moved. I felt trapped.
