Movers were so helpful and made the experience stress-free. The pricing is fair and they took care of my stuff like it was their own. They were really nice which goes such a long way and they constructed my bed for me and brought all the wrapping to protect the furniture. I really can’t recommend Flat rate movers enough and I’ll definitely be using them for my next move.
