They accommodated my last minute move. They got lost on the way to the new place but it's not super easy to find and they took the time off the final tab.
I've moved twice recently and other movers that charge the same per hour are much slower and not as careful. I pointed out fragile boxes and they were exceptionally cautious. They used blankets and pads on all my furniture and were fast and efficient.
Did they mention that my boxes of hardcover books and television were heavy? Sure. They are enormously heavy that's why I hired movers. I don't feel like they were complaining. They moved a lot of heavy things (including a stationary bike and a very heavy metal safe) down one flight from the old place and up one flight that had a landing and a 90 degree turn. In both of my previous moves the movers took boxes two at a time on a dolly. planet movers did three and four boxes at a time.
I will say that it might have been slightly easier for me to communicate with the movers because I speak mandarin at a kindergarten level. There was no time wasted pointing out where I wanted things to go. The movers were even fast going back down the stairs to get the next load.
I gave each mover a 40 dollar tip. They shaved an hour off my last move (which was easier, with only one set of stairs, and a friend helping). There was no mention of a tip when I was presented with the final bill and they seemed pretty happy with the tip I gave.
