    We used Big Guy for hire to pack 2 Pods for us and would definitely recommend them! Derek and Daniel showed up right on time and got straight to work playing expert level Tetris and they were able to get everything we needed into our pods! Both men were friendly and took great care of our furniture. Even though we underestimated the time it would take to pack the Pods, Derek and Daniel stayed and made sure they got every last box packed. Big Guy for Hire was extremely professional and reasonably priced!

    Picture of us with Chris after our Upack cube was all packed up!

    Our move from St. Louis to Ypsilanti, MI in August 2025 was a mixed bag. Hard to say if I would…read morerecommend them. We did 90% of the packing ourselves. The positives include: 1. A thorough review of the contents to be moved versus the cursory review by competitors. 2.A competitive price. 3.Our things were moved in dedicated trucks and not mixed in with other people's stuff. 4. Honestly about damages: a table literally fell apart during packing and the crew pointed it out to me rather than concealing it. 5. No high pressure sales tactics. 6. The guys were patient with my wife repositioning furniture at the destination. 7. Nothing was broken although we had quite a few minor dings in furniture. 8. Crews showed up on time at both ends of the trip. Negatives include: 1.No formal acknowledgement of payment. They were almost offensively anxious to get the final payment even though the third and final truck had not arrived. 2. Loss of focus at the end of the day: We did a walkthrough at the end of the loading process. Every time we found something that needed to go into the truck, the guy leading the walkthrough took it out, chatted with the guys on the truck, and then we would lose our place. This resulted in a few things being left behind. At delivery, the guys took down a door to get furniture into the basement but never put it up again. They also left a moving blanket and personal items belonging to one of the guys. The items were eventually restored to their owner. 3. Not mentioning messes or problems. After the truck left I found that one of our toilets was plugged with toilet paper, paper towels, and human waste from someone that was apparently ill. Fortunately, I found the problem and was able to unplug the toilet and clean things up so this mess was not left for our cleaning crew. I think I would have responded calmly to this if I had been told about it. I can appreciate that it would have been embarrassing to report this to me. I'm human too.

My bed was not put together, my box springs is in the garage because they couldn't get it up the stairs claiming the hallway was too narrow. I have a bookcase that they couldn't maneuver so it is on the first floor landing. So I hired (2) guys to come out and do the work that these guys couldn't do. For the money that All Sons Moving Company charge, do not use them...you will be disappointed.

    AAA QUALITY MOVING should be your only choice of movers as they are mine…read more My first move with them was in 2013 and they have moved me atleast 10 times since. Twice I've had to use two other companies and not only did neither show up on time but they did a horrible job, broke my things and one company even damaged my father in laws house and refused to take anything off the extremely high price I was paying. AAA QUALITY MOVING not only cares about the people they move but they move your item's as of it were their own. So weather you a person moving home to home or into or out of Storage or a Small or Even Large Company looking for the Best Movers at The BEST PRICES...MAKE AAA QUALITY MOVING YOUR ONLY WAY TO MOVE!

    Absolutely the worst experience moving ever! Everything seemed great until they showed up. We had…read morephone calls, texts and even a walk through where John even took notes. We felt confident. Boy were we wrong! $15k down the drain. Everything became a complaint or an argument. We had picked them specifically because they said they would build a crate for the lathe and charged another $1000 to do it. On the day John argued he would not move it and had never agreed to. Much less build a crate for it. I ended up providing makeshift materials and show them how to safely move it. When it got here things were bent and broken. While getting boxes in the truck two of them kept pushing each other around like two little kids. They eventually dropped a bed frame on the hardwood floor and then one pretended to be hurt. We saw it. It never touched him but he screamed it broke his foot and was bleeding. Yet somehow he had no issues moving boxes. The same two guys kept pushing each other around until finally one was thrown right where a snow plow was being moved. The plow flipped over and narrowly missed his foot! I turned white. The truck they brought was not big enough. They had to go and offload it and return. That took them 4 hours. We had to walk behind them around the house because they would constantly not grab all the boxes from rooms but close the door and say it was all done. Always an argument ensued. Things like yard equipment, glass and awkwardly shaped things were taken separately on the truck. When these guys arrived they had two trucks and just 3 people. As they opened the truck I saw one of my generators sitting upside down! The lathe was loosely strapped to the side of the truck sitting on the same material I provided. Things on it were bent and broken from bouncing around. All the yard equipment and awkwardly shaped items were just stuck in tall garment boxes. Trim pieces from my truck I had just painted were scratched and rubbed through. Ruined. Boxes were crushed. The guy with the "broken foot" kept limping around. John hardly did anything. Boxes were placed any which way pretty much anywhere. We had to insist and argue for boxes to be taken where they belonged. Things that went into storage were just chucked in and boxes placed right at the entrance. It was a mess. We gave up on having the furniture put back together as we just wanted them to leave.

Two guys showed up with a huge truck; took about 2 hours to load and drove the 60+ miles to my new home. I explained that I would have to leave before they finished, so I could drive back to Dearborn in the daylight (eyesight issues). That's when it all fell apart. I went back the next day to find plastic wrap strewn around the house, leaves all over the inside of the house, items left wrapped, a dirty bathroom and smoke smell. I contacted Fordson, and was told a slew of lies the worker told him; He said I told them not to enter the garage, FALSE. He said he couldn't find anywhere to dispose of the plastic wrap - THERE WAS A GARBAGE CAN IN THE DRIVEWAY NEXT TO THEIR TRUCK, I was told they aren't responsible for cleaning up after the job. I told Fordson I felt taken advantage of, being alone and older, and that his employee was lying. They made no accommodation and essentially blew me off once they were paid. My Advise: WATCH THEM EVERY MINUTE and make sure a man is around. They will lie and cheat and take advantage of a single woman. BEWARE.

Despite having a full schedule, they fit me in, were 110% reliable, and great to communicate with from the onset. I worked with Mark on arranging the job. Al did the move and was awesome to work with. You won't go wrong with Fordson. I highly recommend them. In fact, I'm on Yelp right now looking up their information to hire them again and realizing I forgot to submit this well-deserved review from back in April. So, I'm happy to finally be getting that done for them.

I was homeless didn't have a job and could no longer make the payments, my fault. But they had already robbed me of approximately $6000 worth of valuables my including my $5000 television. I got a lawyer to represent me and they were actually going to send a crew there on the day of the auction to confront them on camera. So it got closer to the day of the auction I decided, my mother left behind a lot of photos from years and years of siblings my my auntie's uncles Polaroids school pictures, baby pictures and they were in my possession in that storage unit. I know Fox 2 could've got me some real justice, but I was just simply not willing to take the chance and lose those sentimental valuables so I called the owner and I said can we make a deal? I just want my photos. He wrote me a check for $500 Dollars and he made me sign a release that I would not take any further action against O'Sullivan but he short changed me. And every time I see one of those trucks I get this pain in my heart because I never got complete justice, so if you're deciding to use this company, I hope you read this so it never has to happen anyone else ever again!
