Emerald Moving
We had a very good experience with Emerald Moving -- they are careful and
quick and reliable. We cannot praise them too highly! Their business
model makes so much more sense than that of most moving companies. They
charge a flat rate and are clear up front about what is included -- so
decisions by the people whose belongings are to be moved can be based on
convenience and are independent of cost. When one is deciding what is too
fragile to be packed for movers and should be carried over by hand -- it
is liberating for COST to NOT be a factor!
As I said, they were very careful and everything was thoroughly wrapped so
there was no damage to the furniture nor to the building. They were also
maximally efficient in use of the one elevator that is in operation.
Since the workers are paid by the JOB instead of by the HOUR, they were
quick and efficient -- which is what the customer WANTS!
This move was complicated by factors such as that we were downsizing from
a very large storage locker to a smaller one and deciding what to bring to
the new apartment and what to get rid of -- and that many others were
moving out of a rental building that had failed to respond to the recent
fee crash and was hence not competitive. The latter fact was of
significance because many things we THOUGHT we had given away a year ago
were suddenly arriving back at our door because the recipients chose to view them
as loans! THAT complicated matters.
In the midst of what COULD have been chaos, Emerald was a BEACON of reason
and stability! Its owner trained as an engineer, and as an engineer
myself I recognized and appreciated the APPROACH!
