I bought a book of piano music for my son here a year ago. I was looking for some Chopin music…read morethat my son's piano teacher had requested and in an effort to buy local rather than purchase on line, I had gone into Ars Nova. I will point out that when I was a student myself I had gone in and bought things there and had a fine experience - but that was about 20 years ago - I asked the person working there (owner?) about getting a book with these pieces in it and he brought me a Japanese version. He did not tell me what it cost and it did not have a price tag on it. I asked about the fact that the non music part was in Japanese and he made fun of me and told me that that didn't matter. He then rung up the purchase and it was $36 dollars. I was not sure if that was too expensive or not, but it seemed high to me. After I took the book home, I looked up the book on line and discovered that the books should run about $10. I was annoyed but decided to simply not shop there again after this experience and let it go. However, when I got to my son's lesson, his teacher was not impressed by the book. She told me which eddition to get and she told me to take this one back, it was not the appropriate collection. I took it back and the man was rude to me about returning it. He handed me the exact cost of the book, but not the tax back. I asked about the tax and he told me that the government would not refund to him the tax on the book and so he wasn't going to refund it to me. No one has ever told me that - but at this point I decided that arguing over a buck or two with someone who has been nothing but rude and unprofessional with me wasn't worth it. I left and vowed never to return to that place. I was just looking up some Erik Satie music for my son on line and feeling a bit guilty about not trying to buy local and then I revisited this memory and decided to warn others about Ars Nova again.

On moving day, our three movers were professional and careful. They took apart the big china cabinet that I couldn't do, and were careful to put everything in the room that it went to. That's made unpacking a lot easier. They were careful with our stuff, and responsive to our needs, and I can't thank them enough, or recommend them too much!

Soft Touch Review We…read morehired Soft Touch Moving in June 2025 to pack, move, and store our belongings in their "climate-controlled" facility for four months while our new home was being built. About 4 hours into the re-delivery of our belongings by their crew, we discovered that much of our furniture and personal property which had already brought into our new home appeared to be covered in mold. The contamination affected our brand-new home and required professional remediation. As a result, we were displaced and forced to live in a hotel for 50 nights while the issue was addressed. The owner, John Craft, acknowledged to us that our belongings had gotten wet and remained on their moving trucks for a period of time during the hot and humid month of June. Despite assurances from the company's insurance carrier, we have received very little communication or resolution. More than seven months later, we still do not have our belongings and have had to retain legal counsel to pursue claims against both Soft Touch Moving and the insurance company. This experience has been incredibly disruptive to our lives. Based on our experience, we would strongly caution others before trusting this company with their belongings.

I have to give 3 stars out of 5 for my experience with Fire Dawgs, however if I could give 10 out…read moreof 10 stars for the actual gentlemen who came to the job, I would. They were very polite, friendly, hardworking and apologetic. Now my reasoning for the 3 stars. I scheduled my pick up online the week before for a Thursday pickup. I had a follow up phone call from a AI representative, which was a very frustrating experience. Also, I had a follow up text from Alex, who said he was the president. He confirmed the appointment and asked me to send photos of what needed to be picked up, so they knew how to plan for my pickup. I sent at least 15 photos of several pieces of large furniture and other items. This was for a clean out of my father's house. I had cleaners coming the following day and need everything out for them. I also had our realtor coming on the following Monday to take photos, I also would be returning to my home in Columbus, Ohio (my father's house is in Indiana). Fast forward to the day of my appointment. My scheduled window time was 1:30 - 4:30 p.m. I received a phone call around 3:00 p.m. from the actual hauler saying they were at least 2 hours behind and that I would get another call when they were on their way. They finally made it to my house around 6:30 p.m. I showed them everything it the house that needed to be taken and they told me they wouldn't be able to take it all that day. They were never shown the pictures I sent and they were overbooked on jobs to complete in one day. The dump was already closed and they were only able to take what they had room for in their truck, which they came already at least 1/2 full. They called for another driver to come and he had a little bit of space in his truck, but it was already mostly full. Initially they said they could come back first thing in the morning, but after talking with their manager, they said they wouldn't be able to come back until Monday morning. Well, I had cleaners coming at 9:00 a.m. the day after the appointment that I could not reschedule, so that meant I had to clean up after that. Also, I had to reschedule my realtor for Wednesday instead of Monday. Soooo, Monday was scheduled for the 10:30-1:30 p.m. time slot. Fast forward to Monday, the crew did not show up until around 4:30 p.m. The truck was already partially filled with someone else items. They couldn't load and dump and return because, again, the dump is only open until 5:00 p.m. So they loaded up as much as they could in the truck, took it to their warehouse and returned for a second load. They still couldn't get everything on the second load, so they had to come the next day for a third time. They showed up on time that day and finally took everything. Shout out to Isaiah who did what he could. I ended up missing 2 more days of work for this and spent a fortune on it. *** If you are the owner or manager of Fire Dawgs please reevaluate how you are scheduling your employees for pick ups. It is very disrespectful to the client's time and also very hard on the employees as they are very overbooked and overworked.***

We recently moved from Bloomington to Fort Wayne. This was our 4th major move hiring pros to pack…read moreand load. We've also had a few smaller moves where we've hired movers just to move the big items. The guys arrived on time. It was March (winter), so cold and wet in Bloomington. I was disappointed that the movers didn't put any runners down to protect the floors. Luckily, I had planned an extra day to get the house cleaned before closing. We had packers the first day, but they didn't finish everything. Finished packing on second day, with movers loading, but felt kinda rushed at the end of the day. Our stuff went into storage for a week or so until we got keys to the new house. They arrived on a Saturday to unload. This is what my husband wrote to them: Saturday's move in went well with one exception: The Indiana University football semi-trailer. As a Purdue graduate, I feel that all my worldly belongings have been contaminated by the residual odor of sweaty IU football players. The mere thought is making me queasy. I am now getting estimates for whole house tent fumigation. A Tippecanoe County company uses Boiler Gold Ale from People's Brewing Company to restore class and integrity to any soiled property. sigh Guys on the job were very polite and most helpful in putting things in the right rooms. We marveled at the hustle your crew showed throughout the day. It was exhausting just to watch. Thanks so much for making this all happen. During unpacking we discovered a glass shelf chipped and a nightstand missing. They promptly paid for those two items. Our belongings are a bit more bruised, but that could be from the wear and tear of moving 4 or more times.
