The mover were hard worker and efficient! The company was easy to communicate and confirmed as promised. They were willing to be flexible while there were other workers moving around the house at the same time. Highly recommend their service!

JH Bennett Moving and Storage will treat your items like trash, take your money, and then make you jump through many hoops to even try to get any money back toward damages. We had dozens of items broken or damaged. They used a single piece of cardboard and taped it over the front of our TV after promising to properly pack it. My elementary aged. kids could have done a better job packing that TV.

Good luck trying to get a response from them as they just pass the buck, tell your they'll respond and never do. Be prepared to take hours of your time filing the claim and make sure you have all your receipts from every damaged item or be prepared to foot the bill for an appraiser to come and determine the cost of the damages items. We are a hardworking family who has always moved ourselves without one single damaged item but due to a long distance move we needed help this time.

I'm disappointed in myself for not doing better research about this group. Please choose a different company as we would hate for anyone to go through what we've gone through!

I've used this company 3x before. This was my worst experience. They told me i was booked for a morning move starting 8-9 am, and when I called the day before to confirm, they told me start take was 11-1 pm. This messed up my entire day. I expected to be Done by 1-2 pm, yet at the last minute was told of the later start time. This was terribly inconvenient bc of my work obligations That I had to alter last minute.

To make matters worse, they didn't get to my residence until 1:45 pm. Much much later than I was originally told. AND I ENDED UP GETTING CHARGED EXTRA BC THEY WENT OVER BY 30 minutes. the reason it took longer is bc they kept taking smoke breaks. That's not fair that I'm being charged an extra $100 bc of their smoke breaks. The movers themselves were great. The people in power at the company are cheap & manipulative

At first I was a bit uneasy at the cost to have a company pack and move all my belongings. Not to mention the hesitation of having strangers involved in my personal belongings. I can say now that it was worth every penny. The team packed my three bedroom home and garage in 6 hours. It only took them another 6 hours to load my belongings drive it across town and unload. It would have taken me days even with a half dozen friends. Those guys hustled and found ways to lower my bill. I can't thank them enough.

I inquired about moving on a Friday. Thomas came out to my house to do a walk around and give me a quote on the following Monday. He called me later that day to provide the estimate and walk me through the types of insurance. He then called the next day to see if I had any questions or concerns regarding the quote. Once I chose to use them, . Annie checked in with me numerous times leading up to the move as well as on the loading and unloading days. Charlie was the lead mover and he was fantastic! Very friendly and professional. Handled all items with care. Chase assisted him in Erie. Also very friendly and professional. They arrived promptly on both the loading and.

Moving can be a very nerve-racking project. But the hardworking team at JH Bennett Moving made it painless and worry-free. From the moment I met the sales rep Tom, he was on-time, organized, understood my concerns and created me an estimate. We scheduled the date, and the two teams Steve, Marcus, Vic, Angel and Matt, Clem, Jimmy and Marcus showed up on-time, established a game plan, careful with all the furniture, and delivered it to the appropriate areas of the destination.

These guys were super hard workers and deserve a shout out! I highly recommend their service as it was worth every penny to have a great group of people do all the heavy lifting.

I was extremely pleased in working with Tom on the local level. He communicated clearly and openly on every occasion we talked. Tom worked with my United driver, Mike, to be able to stay in my area an extra day when my closing on the township took three very very days. This super helpful action by Mike and Tom saved me over $3000 in what I could have paid to have my things stalled in Charlotte. I would recommend Tom and JH Bennett highly for those considering a local or out of state move

Excellent communication with the office, movers were really friendly and funny. Professional, on time, got the move done shorter than anticipated. Not moving anytime soon, but will 100% use them again in the future

JH Bennett moved my mom from the Washington, DC area to Erie, PA. They did a great job in every sense. All covid safety measures were taken. Everything was packed, loaded, and unloaded carefully and nothing was missing, broken or damaged. The move occurred exactly as scheduled. The price was exactly as quoted - no upward adjustments as I heard can be common in the industry.

The two gentlemen doing everything (Joe and Jose) were so polite and a pleasure to work with! I can not recommend this company and Joe and Jose enough. We will definitely use them again!

This was my first time using a moving company and everyone from the office staff to the movers were GREAT! Jose and David were professional and very mindful about moving items safely, paying extra attention to keeping areas clean, and even offered to move furniture around once it was all inside. I'm very grateful for their help, especially during a time with so many extra precautions needed. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful situation very easy!
