The people from Long Distance Movers are amazing! Writing reviews is not really my thing, but I just feel like it wouldn't be fair to these guys not to put in a good word after all they've done for us. My girlfriend and I own a tattoo and piercing studio, and we recently found a bigger place for a lot less money in another city and decided to move our business. At first we wanted to just find a moving truck and do everything else on our own. We didn't really want just anyone touching and handling all our equipment. And it wasn't only the equipment that was the problem, but we also have some custom made paintings and other artwork by famous tattoo artists that we didn't want to risk getting damaged. But clumsy as we both are, we managed to break a mirror around ten minutes into packing. And that was it for us, we agreed to hire someone a little less prone to breaking stuff to do it for us. So we asked around a bit, and a regular customer of ours recommended Long Distance Movers. We gave them a call, explained that it wasn't really just furniture and PCs that we were moving, and the guy from their customer service assured us they could do it. To be honest I wasn't quite sure, but it's not like we had a choice. Anyway, they first sent a couple of guys to do an estimate (which I didn't even know was a thing, I thought they just had fixed prices or something), and that's about when I started to relax and trust them. It turned out that one of them was actually a fan of my work and also an aspiring tattoo artist, and he really did know the right way to handle all the equipment. All the other people (the ones who came to pack things) knew exactly what they were doing as well. I mean, those who were not confident handling our equipment, packed other things, like shelves, mirrors, chairs, and so on. They were also super careful with the artwork as well. Wrapped it all in all kinds of protection materials, and they also made sure that the boxes (which they brought themselves, by the way) were the right dimensions, so that the things inside wouldn't fly around and get broken.
Anyway, once it all arrived in front of the new shop, we were already prepared to start unpacking everything, figuring out how to reassemble the furniture and so on. I even invited a couple of pals over to help us with everything. They assembled everything back at a very reasonable fee! So that was pretty amazing - getting to sit back and watch your new tattoo shop come to life on its own. I almost felt like a VIP.
Both me and my girlfriend are beyond satisfied with the services we got. Really, these guys were amazing. Very professional, but also laid back and chill. I wouldn't exactly say that we'd do it all over again if we could, but if we do ever decide to move our store again, it will definitely be with these people. read more
