    The driver was great. It was nice having the same driver pick up in South Carolina and deliver in Colorado. Nice continuity. Some of the local workers helping him in South Carolina were not as fast moving or careful

    I would highly recommend mayflower to anyone. However my box packers, two ladies were awful. They stunk of cigarettes and perfume. I couldn’t even handle being in the same room as them.

    From first contact by salesman Jim, y'all were impressively professional, friendly, personable, and upright. We initially engaged another company, and when they failed us at the 11th hour, Jim stepped in and made our move happen!! Ayla was amzing from there, and subsequently Chris, out driver, who was extremely communicative and thorough.

    Exemplary experience! Estimation process (Jim Bright w Nilson Van & storage)went above and beyond my expectations, w a vey high level of professionalism, courtesy and thoroughness. The packing team (wish I remembered names), a mom and her young adult son & daughter, worked w an efficiency the likes of which I have never seen. I had concerns bc we had SO many fragile items...Waterford crystal, pottery, artwork etc. To my knowledge, not ONE item was broken or even scratched. I never saw them even take a break. They were an absolute packing machine! The movers, also a family (2 brothers and they're uncle) could not have been a sweeter group of guys. They explained what/how they were going to do the job and then knocked it out w timely, skillful professionalism. Specialty crate builders(for marble)were great. Movers on the receiving end, were friendly, careful and thorough. From start to finish, this refreshing customer experience could be used as a model (for any business) to follow.

    I was given a 2 hour window (8 am to 10 am) for load out, and the truck arrived at 11:20 with no notice that it would be late. The load group was very professional, and the driver also. I was given an 'unload' window that was about 4 days out; instead, the driver told me at 2:30 pm on Friday that I would be the first unload on Monday, 8 am (1000 miles away) and I still had carpet cleaners, etc., to deal with on Saturday. I left SC at 6 pm, on Saturday, drove all night, and arrived in TX Sunday mid-day. The truck driver called at 8:20 am Monday & advised of 2 flat tires/ruined wheels. At 2 pm Monday, driver advised unload crew "it ain't happening today'. So they driver showed up at 8:15 on Tuesday with only a 2 man unload crew. If my husband to be hadn't been there to help put things back together properly, my bed would have been reassembled incorrectly. There was damage to my most expensive antique piece; otherwise minor dents/scratches. I'm just glad it's over.
