Wow! Started out really good but that is only if your entire load of the semi is HIGH VALUE ITEMS. Definitely NOT ORGANIZED ENOUGH TO GET 3rd PARTY TO HANDLE WASHING MACHINE WHICH THEY MAKE YOU PAY FOR THEN HAVE MOVERS DO AND BREAK THE SHUT OF TO THE WASHER AND FLOOD YOUR HOME. STILL NO FOLLOW UP ON IT AND THE MOVE IS DONE ON THEIR END. THE INVENTORY LIST WAS DONE TERRIBLE THE TEAM IN THE NEW STATE WAS SO DISSATISFIED TOO. SOFA - HAVE MULTIPLE DIFFERENT COLORS ONES BUT ALL WERE SOFA! THIS WAS DONE ON EVERYTHING! THEN THE PACK JOB AFTER THEIR LUNCH WAS A JOKE EVERYTHING IS BROKEN - NEXT BATTLE GETTING IT REPLACED BECAUSE IT IS TOO DAMAGED! UNREAL! WASTE OF YOUR MONEY HERE AND YOUR TIME. MY HUSBAND HELPED THE MOVERS TOO - HE WORKED SIDE BY SIDE ALL DAY WITH THEM. ZERO APPRECIATION FOR THE ASSIST. ZERO FOLLOW UP! THIS IS A MAYFLOWER COMPANY. THE NEW STATE WAS UNITED VAN LINES - SO MUCH BETTER! THANKS MELISSA FOR YOUR LACK OF OVERSIGHT. LET'S NOW DISCUSS ALL THE DAMAGED ITEMS AND FURNITURE STILL NO RESOLUTION-CLAIMS DEPARTMENT JUST AS DISAPPOINTING AS THE MOVE DO NOT USE THEM

Super nice people. Quick unloading Only took about 30-40 min for the whole truck load. They were friendly. Came outside to my truck to tell me they finished. They have enough room for backup drivers when u enter just go left and proceed to building 14 for delivery.

Had called Shepards to get a quote for our upcoming move. Was hopeful of using a local company. The initial call I had was very good going through the contents of the house, suggestions etc. I was told I would get a quote by the following week. After a week I contacted them and was told I would have a quote by end of day. After a few more attempts over the next several days I gave up. Never did receive a quote and went with another company which has been extremely responsive.

Our family will be forever grateful to Shepard's Inc. We were recently faced with the complex challenge of consolidating an estate--a sizable household of furniture, kitchen goods, books, clothing, everything!--and distributing inherited items to several far-flung destinations (California, Georgia, and Arizona). All while navigating the complications imposed by Covid. Shepard's transformed a daunting task into a smooth and efficient operation.
Their professionalism is impeccable, and their kind attention and personal touch a truly rare find. To say that we were in safe and capable hands is understating it. We could not have done it without them!

I recently coordinated a clothing fundraiser at my organization and reached out to Shepard's to see if they'd be willing to help us out. Upon calling, I was warmly received by Dave and put in contact with Stephanie who stayed in touch with me over the duration of the project (about 3 months). Shepard's worked with us to coordinate a pick-up and drop-off within the time frame we needed and even had their driver assist our staff with loading and unloading.
He was incredibly professional and went above & beyond to ensure that we stayed on target with our drop-off time. Not to mention doing all this in the sweltering heat! We wouldn't have been able to go through with the fundraiser if it hadn't been for their generosity. As someone who grew up in Bethel, works in Danbury, and now resides in Brookfield, it makes me feel good to know that our community fully supports one another. I would highly recommend them for any of your moving or storage needs!
