Worked with Happy and Filo on 15 February to pack up my house and ship to Maryland. The guys were very respectful and efficient. The process took about 5 hours, and they did everything perfectly as far as paperwork, packing, handling, and making sure all of my items were marked accordingly. It was an easy and stress free process, and Happy and Filo made my move a lot more enjoyable and relaxing. I know my stuff was safe in their hands and I would recommend continental to anyone moving cross country. Thank you for everything!

What a rough move! They came outside the allotted time, plugged our toilet, and complained constantly. The woman on the phone was also very short with us and unhelpful. The guys were nice enough, but the whole process was very confusing and frustrating.
