Georgia Pack and Load, Moving and Storage Inc

I have moved on multiple occasions and have used various moving companies. This by far was the worst I have ever used! They were more expensive than the rest yet their service was horrible. They were taking pictures of themselves in my place and did not apologize. They had no sense of urgency and took way longer than it has ever taken for my move. Don’t use this company!

Most amazing movers! We have moved a lot and this company is by far the best. They wrap everything in blankets and take excellent care of your items. They are fast, efficient and make the impossible happen. They moved my extremely heavy amour over the balcony when it would not go up the stairs. It took all the men and a huge prayer. Great to work with and very professional!

I just wanted to write a quick review for GP&L; For a move we made on June 13,2015. This company was a referral from friends who had used them. I did call about 3 other companies that were considerably higher on the quote. We moved a three bedroom town house to a four bedroom home fifteen miles away. These guys were very professional and on time. The crew leader was very professional and called when they were on way. I was impressed with the wrapping and packing of almost everything they touched. They even took time to repair a dresser leg we had broken on a previous move! So not to go on about how good these guys are. I did want to thank the five guys that worked their legs off in Georgia heat to make our move very easy. Jude, Seth, Kevin Hall, Brandon and Tremaine. Good job guys! I just wish I could have tipped you more.
The only negative was the move did cost about 500.00 more than phone quote. However I was expecting it since we have so much stuff! It was a sight unseen estimate.
Thanks Again!
Richard Gray and Family

This review was originally written in July 2009 but I had it on the wrong page/​site. I am preparing to use Georgia Pack and Load AGAIN because they have done so well previously.
We utilized GA Pack & Load for an ‘odd’ move last month (2009). We were moving kitty corner to our current location. I had assembled quotes from other companies who tried to ‘oversell’ the services required for that type of move.
GA Pack & Load were honest in their estimate and we selected them. The reason I am writing this review is to commend the professionalism, care and courtesy of the crew who moved us. They were thorough, clean, efficient and most of all had great personalities making what can be a stressful situation painless.
They completed the move 1.5 hours faster than the estimated time and all of our household ‘survived’, nothing broken, fabrics safely covered, everything clean. They also move you in in a way that makes sense to unpack yourself. I had services who’d just throw your stuff in rooms haphazardly. These guys placed boxes strategically so you could get into the room, get items and move around and to larger furniture which cut our unpack time in HALF.
I highly recommend this company, from start to finish it was a pleasure. They weren’t the least expensive quote, but ended up being the least expensive.

There is NO ONE else I would or could trust to move my family. They have done three cross-​country moves and each one was superb. Their movers are professional, patient and polite and they delivered on every promise. If you dread moving, then go with GPL for a great experience.

Worst move of our lives! Some of the problems we encountered: boxes that they packed were not labeled making it impossible to find anything without unpacking every box, many items not wrapped or boxed resulting in a very long list of broken and damaged items, a refrigerator was packed and put on the truck with food still in it (imagine what that smelled like after a week of being stored in the south Florida sun), truck not properly packed so many items were damaged in transit, they left without finishing the packing/​moving, and the list goes on. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!

I cannot say enough about the professionalism of the two people who moved us, Hollie Cook and Marvin Williams. They worked almost non-​stop and moved us within the designated time frame they had promised. They took extreme care with all our furniture and nothing was damaged not even a scratch. They were both extremely polite as well. I would not hesitate to use Georgia Pack and Load in the future and would recommend them to anyone who is considering moving.

Very pleased with these movers. Extremely professional, polite, and careful. Nothing was broken. Everything was packed super well, and they didn’t hurt any walls or furniture. They worked efficiently, and were very courteous. I was really impressed with them and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Fantastic experience! We hired Georgia Pack and Load last year to move into our apartment and were extremely impressed. They were running up our stares back down to the truck. No time wasted! We will definitely be calling them when we move again in a few months.

In my case, GPL gave us 2 estimates to move– one to move the entire contents of our home, and one to move only the items in the conditioned spaces. We selected the second option, but were charged 77% more than the price quoted. Before I accepted their proposal, I asked them what happens if they go over their estimate. They assured me that the president who did the estimate is always on the mark. Additionally their quote to store our items was $ 320/​month. They are charging us $ 540/​month. This monthly charge is even more than their estimate to provide storage for our entire house, which was $ 480/​month. In order to avoid all of this, I should have required a binding estimate. In the future, I will not go with a company whose quote is non– binding because they can charge you whatever they want. My suggestion would be to only go with companies that provide a binding quote. Maybe GPL will do this, and I just didn’t know to ask.

Guys were great. they accidentally broke one piece of glass but their insurance covered it. got a check in the mail within the week.
These guys know what they are doing.

I used Georgia Pak and Load to pack, load, and put into storage our 4 level townhome. I wanted the furnishings divided in three different groups, one delivery immediately, one short term storage and one long term storage, VERY complicated! They were terrific about everything! Everyone was extremely professional, respectful, positive and very hard working. I particularly enjoyed Kevin’s moving crew — such a fun group of young men! I would not hesitate to use them again. Rich did a great job of giving us an estimate — and they give you an estimate that will not exceed a certain price, whether their times goes over or not. That was an additional plus for me! Excellent!

Horrible experience. I booked with one of the owners who told me he was sending his top crew. 6 guys showed up on time, but as I let them in the house, one or two of them reeked of pot. I should have sent them away right then but we had to get moved that day and I was stuck. They took two days to move out 5,000 sq ft home, as they expected, but late on day 1 one of the guys told me «the wind blew over one of the mirrors and it broke». He never showed me the mirror, it wasn’t windy that day, and the mirror in question was in our dining room and very heavy. After the move and as we unpacked in the coming weeks, we found 3 total mirrors were missing. The one dining room mirror that we paid over $ 1,000 for, another hallway mirror value unknown, and an antique Tiffany mirror that had been appraised years before at over $ 2,500. We were never shown the broken mirror, or the other missing mirrors and have searched the whole house at our new home and they are gone. Talked to the guy that booked my move and he said it was against procedure for them to not show me and him the broken mirror and he had no explanation. I asked for compensation and have received none! No apology, nothing other than a form sent to me to fill out asking for the original receipts from where we bought the mirrors. We bought two of them when we were first married 18 years ago, no way I have those receipts, and the antique Tiffany was left to me by my departed mother, no receipt. No compensation, nothing has been done in the 3 months since this happened. Buyer Beware with this company!

Got about 3 different prices during the initial phone call. Did not get a good feeling at all so moved on to another company.

I appreciate Ralph’s comments but I got a call on day one from his guys who were still on 85 saying they were running late and blaming it on 1. They just found out about the job and 2. They were surprised by the heavy morning traffic in Atlanta on ’85.

Did a great job moving my crap to a goodwill donation center. would recommend them to anyone looking for a reputable mover

I am really happy with my experience with Georgia Pack and Load. Bruce was very helpful booking my move. The movers were extremely hard-​working and kept up their energetic pace even though my move took 12 hours. They disconnected all of my electronics and my washer and dryer and reconnected everything in the new house. They also got a big desk into a small doorway when others have failed in the past. I am very grateful for their positive attitude and super strength moving all of my boxes, furniture and new washer-​dryer without a scratch!

Generally, a positive experience with these guys. They were punctual and
did a good job moving our stuff. Most of the guys were really nice and very hard working.
My only word of caution is that if you use them to pack up your stuff, BUY YOUR OWN BOXES!!! We had them pack us up the day before the move and the boxes cost more than the labor (all in all, the boxes cost more than $ 350!!).
Otherwise, I’d use them again if (god help us) we had to move again, but would definitely get my own boxes.

Wow, I really hate to be the first person not to give GP&L 5 stars, but I didn’t have the amazing experience with them that I had hoped for. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great either.
Scheduling the move seemed easy and hassle-​free. I did it entirely by email with Bruce, which was convenient since I prefer not to take personal calls while I’m at work. I had just a couple of specific requests for my move, the most important of which was that the movers not bring a truck longer than 14′. I emphasized more than once that I lived on a long, steep incline and that a longer truck would not be able to clear the road to drive up it. Many moving companies only have longer trucks, but Bruce assured me this was no problem for GP&L.
My move was scheduled to begin on a Saturday morning between 8:30 and 9:00 a.m. I got a call from my crew chief at 9:15 a.m. letting me know they were running late (which I had already figured out, clearly). They did bring a third man along on my move without charging me, which I appreciated and I’m sure they did too by the end of an exhausting day.
I feel that the problems I had with my move stemmed almost entirely from one thing: they brought a long truck. This meant that they had to park the truck in the street and walk up and down the driveway with every load, including large pieces of furniture, a washing machine, a dryer and all my boxes. This added an unbelievable amount of time to the move (consider an additional 4 – 5 minutes per load), and also exhausted my movers, who were already tired from an 18 hour move the day before. They had to take more frequent breaks and there was none of the «hustle» that other reviewers have mentioned. Let me be clear, I don’t blame the three guys who had to sweat it out in the 90 degree August heat. I know my driveway is rough, which is exactly why I tried to ensure that they would not have to climb up and down it all day. They did the best they could, but the move took longer*, they handled my belongings with much less care (for example, not fully wrapping my mattress and box springs), and a glass table top got broken (which the mover paid for out of pocket) because the crew was so tired. Overall, I was very disappointed in my experience with GP&L and am unlikely to use them again and would not recommend them.
*When I moved into this house, I had a two-​man crew with a shorter truck, and the entire move took less than 2 ½ hours. This move took nearly 5.

We packed the boxes and had moving blankets they wrapped everything
and loaded our rented moving truck. Awesome!!!
They also offer full service moves
