Super fast, price was great. In like 3 clicks of a button I just got a couch removed for $89 that I was gonna be charged $250 by my moving company. Great communication every step along the way, sent photos. Picked it up and removed it from curb in less than 45 minutes from booking to pickup. Was cheaper than i saw for two other services. I normally don't put this much effort into reviews but this legit was such a great customer experience from end to end. Kudos to the team for the way this business is run. Awesome price, awesome service.
This was absolutely the easiest experience I've ever had with a business. They have amazing communication including text. Pricing was extremely reasonable and service was quick. Their site is so easy to use. I was concerned this wasn't a legit company, but they absolutely are and I'm so glad I found them as I was quoted $1500 by another company in the St. Louis area. I was provided with photos from the pickup to validate that the items had been removed. Even tho I had to change the pickup date several times, I was able to easily text them to let them know I needed to change dates. Highly recommend!!!
Great communication.
