Seaford Transfer

I previously had a chance to interview the owners of this amazing business for a feature article, so I knew a lot about Seaford Transfer before calling them for help with a moving situation. That said, I had not experienced actually being their customer. I can now say firsthand, their reputation exists for a reason!

I have a she-shed that my absurd HOA was suing me to remove, and I was in a real bind. Every company I called to move it for me turned me down, saying it was not something they have the equipment or experience to handle. Plus each of them took many days to respond to my call. Polar opposite experience with Seaford! Jeff and Jeff came out within hours of my call (I realize that's not always possible for such a popular company, but they understood the predicament I was in).

They were undaunted by the complications, including working around a fence and trees and uneven ground. They figured out a solution on how to move my she-shed and offered give-and-take to work within my budget. They even offered to lend me tools so I can take down the fence myself as a budget-saver. How many companies do you know who would do that? This is top-tier customer service. Call them now!!!

I have moved more than 25 times in my not-so-short life, usually for very long distances. Except for a great moving company that I used for nearly 10 years when I lived in Australia, my experience with moving companies has ranged from mediocre to spectacularly awful. I have lived all over the world, but I grew up in Seaford and moved back to Virginia last September (from Oregon which was my worst move ever). We have been living in Norfolk and bought a house in Portsmouth.

When it was time to start planning the move, I asked friends and relatives for recommendations and the consensus was that I needed to use Seaford Transfer. I was a little skeptical that a Seaford-based company would be willing to travel to Norfolk, but they said they were more than happy to accommodate our needs.

Everything went uphill from there. I now regret not taking notes so that I could thank by name all of the people at Seaford Transfer who made this experience so wonderful. The first person I spoke to on the phone was friendly, professional and genuinely seemed to want to make sure that the move went flawlessly. The estimator (with the awesome tattoo on her foot) was extremely thorough and very patiently answered all of my dumb questions with a smile on her face.

We arranged for ST to pack everything as well as move us. I had to work on both days, so I learned about how perfectly both days went from my husband who was there on both days. The team arrived on time to pack, and arrived the next day a bit early for the move itself. In addition to our apartment (which involved quite a few stairs), the team emptied out a storage unit with the stuff that wouldn't fit in our temporary apartment. Painless! Both days were completely stress-free, and we had none of the last minute 'problems' that end up costing money that I experienced with every other move in my life.

Here's the best part..... The quote from Seaford Transfer for the move was not cheap, but it was very reasonable. There was also a fairly hefty travel charge given that a total of 3 trucks and 10 folks commuted from York County to Norfolk/Portsmouth for this move. We are mostly unpacked, and everything arrived in exactly the same condition as it left out apartment. Not a single scratch, ding, crease or dent in anything. I organized a cashier's check from my bank to cover the estimate and planned to pay for any overage with a credit card on the day. The actual final charge came out to about $600 LESS than the estimate and they promised to mail me a check for the overpayment the next day.

When we bought this house (less than a year after moving across the country) I swore that my next move would be in a hearse. After this experience, and only if Seaford Transfer gets to be involved, I may have to rethink that. Seriously folks, this is the best moving company I have ever come across or even heard about. Google needs to make an exception so I can give these excellent people 10 stars. With a cherry on top!

The Seaford Transfer team was amazing! We used them for a local move and not only were they professional they were able to move us with limited notice. They moved 5,000+ lbs in less than 4 hours. Cory, Justin, Colby and John were phenomenal. Thanks Seaford!!!
