Customer Review of Iowa Moving 1--Another Satisfied Customer!!

We love our moving customers and our customers love us! Below is a letter received from a past Iowa Moving 1 customer in Ankeny, Iowa. We loaded two moving trucks for this customer. Our low cost moving labor solution saved this customer hundreds of dollars.

====================================================================================

"Eric, just wanted to wish you, as well as Ed, Mike, and Chuck, the happiest of holidays.

Ed, Mike, and Chuck did such a wonderful job on our move from Ankeny, Iowa. We had them load 2- 26 foot rental trucks with thousands of dollars worth of furniture and they did so expeditiously, carefully, and without one broken or scratched item in the entire move!

Thank you for recommending the use of additional padding. I spent quite a bit of my furniture, some heirloom antiques and some custom made. One thing I did not want to happen was to have it damaged in any way on the eight hour drive to our new home. The insight and experience of your movers in using the shrink wrap and the quilted moving pads and their expertise in packing the truck was worth every cent that I paid for your service. Mike, Ed, and Chuck worked tirelessly to get the 2 rental trucks loaded, packing my things like a puzzle, to assure that nothing moved on our over the road haul to Indiana. I watched them work in unison, with wonderful attitudes, to complete the job. I do hope the men used their gratuity to enjoy a nice dinner or a massage, as they certainly deserved it. One bedroom set that I had was custom made quarter sawn hickory. Not once did I hear a complaint that something was too difficult, or too heavy, or that they needed to sit down and rest. In fact, I had to demand that they stop to eat some pizza during their time loading my belongings from a 4 bedroom home. I can not say enough about the fine work ethic, genuine caring, and kindness of Ed, Mike and Chuck. What great employees you have! Having them load the rental trucks, driving them ourselves, and then getting unloading help in Indiana saved us quite a bit over a full service moving company, and I am sure that my belongings were safer and cared for better in the hands of your guys.

Please pass my deepest thanks on to Mike, Chuck and to Ed for their wonderful work!"

Thank you again!
Cathy

Winter Moving Tips

Now that the snow and winter weather has arrived, it's time to share a few moving tips for this season.

*Please ensure that driveways, sidewalks, front steps, etc are cleared of snow and ice BEFORE your movers arrive. This will aid in the safety of the movers and the customer's belongings. With a clear walkway, the movers can also move more efficiently which saves on how long the job lasts and saves you money.

*Consider "Carpet Protection Film". For only $15 per 100 sq ft roll, Iowa Moving 1 will bring out and apply this carpet protector. This will dramatically reduce the amount of snow, ice, and dirt that will get tracked into your home.

*Book your move a few weeks in advance if possible in order to ensure that you will be able to reserve a date with your preferred move. The winter time is not a time to have to move yourself or hire a moving company that is unreliable and not careful.

*Drive the rental truck slower depending on road conditions...Don't be in a rush

*Carry shovels, ice melt and sand during your drive to your new location...just in case. Also, always have extra gloves, hats, and winter clothes on hand.

*Choose a reputable moving service, such as Iowa Moving 1, LLC to take extra care of you and your belongings.
