I had 2 big concerns about moving. First was packing a 2 person house into a 1 person apartment. Second was moving into an apartment building located on Walnut Street at one of the most congested areas of the street - a few blocks east of Rittenhouse Square. When I originally called the company, I told them I was moving into a building with no loading dock, no parking, and strict rules for loading on the street. They said it was no problem, moving in Center City was their specialty and they knew the building I was moving into. Already being familiar with the building, they knew what needs I had in advance. 2 guys came and packed the day before the move. This took more time than the move, but the extra money was worth it. No matter how prepared I thought I was, I never would have been able to get everything wrapped up as efficiently and quickly. They used a lot less materials than I would have and also used any supplies I gave them before I had to buy theirs - this included newspapers I had been collecting and a stack of U-Haul boxes I bought a month before. The day of the move was super smooth. There were 3 guys and they were amazing, polite and friendly. They moved the boxes so fast into the truck and commented the packing made the move so much faster. When we got to the apartment building on Walnut Street, there was no spot to park the truck in front of the building. One of the movers negotiated with the driver who was using the spot. He arranged it so our moving truck would pull up at the same time the delivery truck was pulling out. He also spoke to the Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA) so my sister could stay in her car until the moving truck arrived. This could have been a big delay, but it was really fast because they knew exactly what they were doing and it was obviously important to them to get the job done the best way possible. I actually wished they were a little slower, because they were so nice to be around.
Pros: They know how to move into a downtown area and are familiar with many apartment buildings

The Guys did an awesome job. Haven't noticed anything broken or bruised. Fast, prompt, courteous. Will definitely use them again if I need to.
Pros: Handled goods with care, very pleasant, arrived on time
Cons: transport took little longer than expected, $10 charge for credit card
