I couldnt have been happier with this service! I packed my personal belongings, but AAA wrapped and moved my entire house into a van in about five hours. I was worried about my great grandmothers desk, but they padded it so well it took me half an hour to unwrap! Dan Dawson came and checked on the progress of his crew to be sure things were going well. I thought the process was going to be a nightmare, but Dawson made the entire move from Juneau to Olympia worry-free for me.

Thought I would have a great experience. Pre-move survey was conducted quickly and professionally by Daniel Dawson. However, they were experience a busy month, and were in the middle of moving a lot of equipment for the University of Alaska SE. On the first day of the move they only sent over 2 guys, but they were hard workers. They packed up almost the entirety of the garage and kitchen, which are apparently the two hardest rooms to pack, single-handedly. I was impressed. The second day there were 4-5 guys there, and they finished the rest of the house save for a few large pieces and furniture. On the last day only 2 guys showed up; really 3, but one left after an hour because he had celebrated his 21st birthday recently and was hungover. It took almost all day to load the boxes because it was just 2 guys working. After they were finished, the trailer sat in front of my house. I thought theyd bring a truck to move it, but I was told it would either leave that night or the following day. The team leader didnt have a padlock, and I was told I couldnt lock the trailer because it had other peoples belongings in it, and they had already signed acceptance of my property. Matt, the team leader, said that if they didnt drive it away that night hed come out and put a padlock on it. When I came back in the morning, the trailer was still sitting in front of my house unsecured. Once I arrived in Eagle River and got my boxes, I couldnt unpack right away because I immediately had to report to my unit. Over the next week and a half as I unpacked, I had the following issues: They packed up my daughters full klean kanteen (water bottle) in a kitchen box instead of just dumping the water out. It leaked, but luckily it was just plates and silverware in the box. They packed my wifes opened (and didnt bother to zip-close) 2lbs. bag of bathsalts (the kind for bathing, not the drug) into a box of linens, which were then covered with powder when we opened the box. They rolled up a canvas oil painting from WWII Europe like a common poster, and stuffed it into a box of clothing and knick-knacks. It had visible damage when we unrolled it, and will have to go to a restorer. Finally, and most disturbingly, my wifes electronic massager went missing. It was a fancy/expensive Lelo brand item, and was not to be found in any of the boxes that were filled with the master bedroom closet items. I do partially fault my wife for not packing it up herself, but the fact that one of the guys (there were no females on the crew) helped himself to it is shocking and disgusting. I know it didnt get left behind because I stayed in Juneau for a week cleaning/prepping the house for sale after they were gone. In closing, if you use this service, especially if youre military; watch them closely. Pack up what you absolutely cannot stand to have broken or get stolen, and check everything thoroughly on the other side. YMMV
