Boxes will not be picked up if they've gotten rained on. Good information to have known beforehand. Would've been 5 of 5 stars.

The two man crew that unloaded the truck, were absolutely great. They were courteous, quick, and careful with all the boxes.

Based on my experience in these years as a member of the armed forces, our objects are treated as garbage for those who pack and unpack our possessions, on December 2 they delivery me my possessions and I have to say that the level of disrespect was so insulting, Seeing an employee of the company Golden Services LLC, play with my things like toys and when I told him that this is not a toy he laughed in my face, I felt so Insulted that not even funny and I told the supervisor or Crew Chief and it was like talking to the wall. so when do we hold our employees accounted for!, was only one of the employee that was real respectful, I will blast there names but is no point by doing that, just remember treat people with respect even when they rude to you!

Threw my American flag on the ground. Lied on the paperwork stating that we disassembled everything, took minimal brakes (probably paid by the hour) even though they practically took half the day off. The packing team yelled and argued around the house. Sloppy packing, had to be reminded to pack things. Had to stop the truck because they forgot stuff. They then forgot other things that we had to mail to ourselves.
I am pretty sure a couple of them were high. Check the paperwork and dont let them tell you that they will fill in parts. Read it all. Luckily, only minimal damage. The big islander guy was very hard working, I did not get his name. Kudos to him
