Do not hire this company for your moving needs. They fabricated a story, then harassed me with demand letters and now are threatening to take me to court. I would be very cautious about doing business with these people.

Anderson Bros. Movers is the real deal! Found them through a referral and they definitely lived up to their reputation. I originally called to ask about pricing and scheduling and spoke to Lee. Lee was great, easy to communicate with and she asked all the right questions about our move. Booking services was a smooth and easy process. On the day of the move the movers, Lawrence & Toby, arrived on time with a courteous & professional attitude.
They guys were grade A professionals who made it look so easy even though I know it is hard work moving heavy boxes & furniture. Not only were the movers pleasant to work with but they worked efficiently and handled all our belongings with great care. We don't plan on moving for a while but when we are ready to move again we will make sure to book with Anderson Bros. Movers. We want to thank the team over there for making our lives a bit easier by helping us through this move. THANK YOU
