Poor Man's Moving is the WORST moving company I have ever hired. Period. I've moved many times over my lifetime, and I've dealt with many moving companies. That said, Poor Man's Moving is the worst moving company I have ever hired. I've used them for 3 previous moves, and everything went well until the last move. The owner apparently didn't have enough men to cover the move this time, so he sent 2 guys out with a U-Haul instead of the normal 3 guys. The 2 guys were very friendly and worked VERY hard, but... The lack of a 3rd man really slowed the move, since nobody was available to disassemble furniture, arrange boxes to be hauled and so on. The previous move into the apartment (with 3 men) took 2 hours total. This time, it took 4 hours to pack up the apartment and another 2 hours to unpack. 6 hours total. After we realized that the move would take much longer than planned, one of the guys called "the boss". The owner was extremely unpleasant, very defensive and unwilling to help in any way. His only concern was getting paid. Things just went downhill from there. The move was completed, but we paid over twice what our previous moves with Poor Man's cost us. We're very unhappy after paying $650 to move a 1-bedroom apartment to a location 10 minutes away. It took Poor Man's Moving 6 hours to complete the move. For what it's worth, the original quote was $288, and previous moves using Poor Man's were in the upper-$200 range. Horrible company & rude owner!
