Planet Moving and Storage

I hate moving more than anyone in the world and my old apartment is probably the least mover-friendly apartment on the planet. Since its a "resort style" set up, it's like a hotel. One elevator on the opposite side of the apartment and three set of double doors and two long hallways... and finally, my apartment at the end of the long hallway.
I called and spoke with PLANET, and explained that we were on a budget. They kindly suggested that the movers come to move the heavier of the items for us, while we move the rest. We didn't really know we had that option with a moving company, and appreciated this suggestion.
On the day of the move, three men arrived promptly at 7 a.m. unbelievably; they were energetic and super friendly, even at that early hour on a Saturday. They took no time getting all of our remaining furniture and extras out to their truck. They moved EVERYTHING without a complaint, and remained extremely cheerful and amusing throughout. They didn't take any breaks, and got us to our new place in record time.
My new apartment is a three floor walk-up. Narrow as god knows what, with forty stairs. They brought everything in with professionalism and took the greatest care not to damage any of our items.
Here's what was incredible: many movers may have taken their time since they get paid by the hour, but these guys hauled ass and got our stuff here so quickly. I witnessed one of the movers carrying two huge, heavy boxes of books on his back up those stairs and into my apartment.
These movers are not lazy, and are as friendly as can be. They had an amazing attitude and even offered to help us arrange our furniture (our new living room is shaped really awkwardly) in a way that would be most esthetically pleasing. We declined, but we appreciated their input.
They don't charge extra if your apartment is a pain in the ass to get into, or if you have more than X amount of stairs. If it wasn't such a pain the ass to get in and out of both apartments, they would have finished in less than 3 hours, I am sure.
If you are planning to move, give these guys a call. Honestly, this is a team of individuals that are professional, courteous, and quick.
We likely have to move again next year (hopefully into a house), and we'll definitely be giving these guys a call. Trust me. If you're looking for movers with a positive and fun attitude combined with professionalism, this is where its at.
HUGE props to PLANET'S team for making our move as easy as it was. We'll be back. We promise
