Excellent team. All members were friendly, worked efficiently and respectfully of our possessions. Price was extremely fair. I would recommend them, and use them again if I needed their service.

Read this to hear just how badly a move can go... I used A Few Good Men Moving for my local Cary to Durham move this December. They had good, but not perfect reviews and their price looked reasonable. I can not tell you how much I regret this choice. On the day of the move, the crew had been working on our house for about 90 minutes when my wife came to me and said Please tell me you took money out of my purse for some good reason. Nope, not me. Her purse, which had been left on the counter, was suddenly missing $270. I spoke on the phone with a woman who identified herself as the owner, and she said, more or less This is a police matter, there is nothing we can do about it. I did call the police, and in this situation, they were not willing to do much - we didn't see the money leave her purse, so they had nothing to go on. Both my wife and I had the sense that all four crew members knew exactly who had stolen the money, and three of the four were somewhat distraught, but nobody was going to do anything about it. I asked A Few Good Men to refund the $270 - since the cost of the move was about 10X, they would no doubt still make a profit. Their response: We have reviewed your request and as stated in the Moving 101 NC Consumers Guide, section XIII Items believed to be stolen should be reported to the proper law enforcement authorities immediately. If and when we are contacted by law enforcement we will be happy to comply with their requests. In other words, they don't stand behind the honesty of their crew - worse yet, its not their problem. In addition to losing money during our move, I found the quality of the job to be only so-so. Problems in this move included: * Quite a few nicks and dings on furniture as it was moved * A few nicks and dings and scrapes on the house we were leaving as well as our new house. * The crew left without moving two kayaks that were clearly included in our move. They told me that since they had already closed the truck they couldn't take them, so I moved them myself. * They refused to move a couch and two chairs into our house - they're still in our garage. My son and moved the couch without much trouble the next day. I felt like quite a sap after buying food and drinks for the crew and then having this outcome. Not recommended under any circumstances.
Response from A Few Good Men Moving & Storage, LLC
"Mr. Nelson, It is unfortunate that your move with us was not without incident. Once you informed us that your wife believed she was missing money our office staff and crew leader immediately encouraged you to contact the police. The crew leader gave permission to have both the truck and the crew searched when police arrived. The police were not able to perform a search due to a lack of probable cause. We send a Policies List with every confirmation email asking customers to establish and label a "safe zone" for personal items that is inaccessible to the crew. According to our records, we have not been informed of any damages to either your possessions or property. We also were not informed of any items that were not moved. We contacted you on 1/7/19 to discuss possible damages and were informed that Mrs. Nelson would contact us if need be. As of 1/24/19 we still have not heard from you regarding possible damage. Please contact our office for a claim form for damaged property and we will be happy to start the claims process for you. In reference to you kayaks, the crew that performed your move informed us that you said you would move them and told our gentlemen not to worry about them. You signed off at the end of you move confirming that all items had been moved to your satisfaction. The sofa that we "refused" to move was too large for the desired location. Our gentlemen advised you that it would likely cause damage to your property if you still wanted the item placed into the desired room. You were informed that you would need to sign a waiver releasing us from liability of damage. You declined to do so and instead offered the sofa to our gentlemen and ended up having us leave it in your garage for donation. A Few Good Men Moving & Storage, LLC strictly adheres to the rules and regulations set forth by the state of North Carolina. We always strive to exceed expectations and ensure that our moves are as stress-free as possible. Respectfully, A Few Good Men Moving & Storage, LLC"

Not satisfied. Bad communication from the company resulted in higher cost than I had been led to expect. I had done my homework (comparing estimates, going with only top-rated companies). I went with this company because of the pleasantness of the initial office person with whom I spoke, and had high hopes based on good reviews I had read. I provided this company with an itemized list of things to be moved, and was told that this "very small move" would take 1-2 hours maximum. The truck provided, however, was so large it would not fit in the driveway and had to be parked on the busy street, blocking traffic making the workmen haul the furniture down a 60-foot driveway, in the rain. Therefore, the move took an extra hour. Workmen told me when they saw the short list of items to be moved, that they were surprised that such a large truck had been sent. My things filled less than the first 1/4 of the truck's space. The manager refused to make any adjustment even after repeated pleas. With the correct size truck, this move would have been completed within the estimated time. (For me, a teacher, the cost for one extra hour is a lot of money.) The movers worked hard and were careful with my items. However, I do not recommend this company, at least under current management.

"Our company strives to provide an efficient and stress-free moving service. It is unfortunate you were not satisfied with our service. Please remember, on your initial call with our company, you were given a 1-2 hours rough idea of cost with a 1-hour travel fee. However, before scheduling your move with our company, you had additional items that you wanted our crew to move. As stated in your confirmation email sent on December 24, 2018, we believe it may take 2 - 3 hours with 2 men plus a 1-hour travel charge. Please note: this is a rough idea of cost, your final bill will be determined by the number of hours worked. We prorate on the quarter hour and you will only be charged for the actual time it takes for your move. It was not communicated to our company that a 20 feet moving truck would not fit into your driveway. There were circumstances beyond our control, such as heavy rain and a narrow outside staircase, yet our crew still worked safely and efficiently. Regardless of the circumstances, our crew still performed your move within a reasonable time."

This was our third move with A Few Good Men and they did just as wonderful a job as they did the first two times. The crew was very pleasant through the packing on the first day and through a grueling 12 hour move the next day. My spouse and I were grumbling, sweating and oh, so done by the end, but Eddie and the guys were smiling, courteous and still hauling a__ through to the end. A Few Good Men charges one of the lowest rates around and performs the best job of moving I've ever had. I don't plan to ever go through this again......but, if I do, I will definitely call AFGM!

A Few Good Men Moving Co. has moved me twice now. Once from an apartment to a condo and a second time from the apartment to a storage unit. The movers were very professional, pleasant to work with, efficient and hard working. The cost was very reasonable. I will be using A Few Good Men again in the spring to move into my new house.

Good people at this company. My move couldn't have went any easier. Starting with the office personel to the guys on the truck made moving so smooth. I would hire them again and highly recommend A Few Good Men Moving.

I have used A few Good Men two times, per your original recommendation. The first move was on 11/15/2017 from an apartment in Apex, NC to a condo in Durham, NC. The second move was on 12/01/2017 from the apartment in Apex to a storage facility in Durham, NC. I was very satisfied with the job they did both times. They were professional, on-time, hard workers and very fast, especially considering that I was paying on an hourly rate. My crew both times were Travis and Tim and I was very satisfied with the work that they did. I had no losses or breakage. The office staff was also very pleasant to deal with and facilitated some changes to my move with grace. I have one more move coming up in a few months and I will be using A Few Good Men again. Please give them your highest rating from me.

Matt and Tim came early to move a 3-piece sectional sofa to a local storage unit. It took them about 15 minutes to wrap the sofa in plastic and load it on the truck. They drove to the storage unit about 10 miles away and unloaded it quickly. The only concern is that their office is a half hour away from Raleigh and they charged travel time to and from their office. The cost was reasonable and I would hire them again.

This was the worst experience I have ever had!!! There were 3 men, but one claimed to be taking inventory and did very little work. He called himself the lead, stopped all men several times to call the office and report on me, as he didn?t want me saying anything about their quality of work. At first stated he could make 1 load, but had to be done in 2 loads. Insisted on turning my couch up on end when I did not want that at all. Kept telling me he was the lead. In the end they hauled 2 loads 5 miles each and it costs me $670.00. But that?s not all it cost me. They destroyed 6 Hand made Italian Platters ranging in $1500.00, an antique hand painted lamp, pottery barn shelves, broke a foot off my bedside table, broke my dining room table and multiple other small items. They were unprofessional and refused to take their shoes off or wear covers on my new hardwood floors (new home). This was the worst experience I have ever had!!! The lead blamed all the broken items on the prior movers to storage and said they weren?t responsible. I felt violated and would never use this company under any circumstance ever again!!!
Response from A Few Good Men Moving & Storage, LLC
"Andrea, it is unfortunate you feel this was your worst experience ever. Over the phone you were given a rough idea of cost, your final bill was actually less than that quote. As explained to you by our crew leader and our office manager an inventory is always taken of all your items, so we and you have a record of what was moved and the condition it was in when we moved it. As you were so upset over us doing this we did take the 30 minutes of time off your final bill as well as the 15 minutes it took us in travel for the second load. At the time of paying your bill you were satisfied with getting the 45 minutes subtracted from your bill. According to the NCUC Safety and Insurance regulations movers are not to remove their shoes or use shoe covers as it is a safety hazard. Our crew leader and our office manager did explain that to you and we also offered you the phone number for the NC Utilities Commission. Although we were unable to wear shoe covers there was no damage done to your hardwood floors. When items are placed into a storage unit by another party our company cannot take responsibility for packing not done properly or items damaged when placing them into storage by another party. At A Few Good Men Moving and Storage,llc we always strive to be professional at all times and customer satisfaction is our top priority."
