User Reviews for Mambo Movers

I had heard wonderful things about Mambo and they had been recommended by several people I know. They were definitely the cheapest around and were the only ones servicing from Philadelphia to further into VA (near Manassas). Booking the movers was very easy and I was confident things would go very well. Until moving day......I had been told that I would be the afternoon move and that the guys would be at my house sometime around 1:00 PM. I heard from the crew around 12:30 that things were going to be moved around and that they wouldn't be at my house until later in the afternoon or evening, say around 5:00. I became quite panicked around 8:00 PM when my stuff still wasn't moved out. They finally arrived at 10:00 PM. I've been told this was a "comedy of errors" that day and the crew was very apologetic. They worked their tails off and were very pleasant, considering the time of day and the fact they hadn't eaten since lunch. The move to VA went much better...they were on time, worked hard and set everything up for me. The main problem I see is that Mambo doesn't know what the job looks like until they show up. So, if a job is bigger or has some problems, your job could get pushed back....way back! Plus, after hours, there isn't any way to get in touch with folks, except via cell phone of the crew. If they are busy and don't have their phones with them, you have no updates on where things stand. If you can deal with the extreme flexibilty required, then use Mambo! If you are a control freak like me and wanted things to run on time, Mambo probably isn't the company for you. I do want to say again that I was VERY impressed with the crew! They were hard workers, very jovial and a pleasure to work with!

Pros: hard workers, price for value

Cons: scheduling has a lot to be desired

After Scheduling this move a month in advance. Mambo calls me today to cancel my move leaving me in a bind. When they did my initial move they were great, but in this one I am stuck now paying a fortune to find someone to move my stuff.

Pros: they are cheap

Cons: they cancel appointments
