Excellent company. Eric went out of his way to make sure my move was smooth and as stress-free as possible. Everything was carefully handled and wrapped, all arrived in perfect condition and on time.
Better Route Movers and Storage provided an exceptional moving experience for us. We were relocating from three storage units plus our house, a complex job that they handled flawlessly. They honored their original quote with no hidden fees, which was refreshing. …
I highly recommend Better Route Moving and Storage. They take great care in everything they do and are very efficient. The owner Eric is wonderful and was able to answer all of my questions. The crew works hard and handles your belongings with great care. I absolutely recommend them!
Smooth and sharp process. Quickly and efficiently helped pick up and drop off all my stuff. Amazing team
Best moving experience so far…! Was referred to this company by my realtor and he came with a good reputation and transparency all the way. Eric (Owner) called and we did a Factime Walkthrough…very detail oriented and answered all my questions up front …
Eric was able to get me moved 2 days after I called him. He sent me 4 young men that worked so hard . Was so respectful, to me and my old things that I couldn't part with. I was impressed beyond my expectations. Can't thank you enough Eric for the delightful young men you sent to get me moved. Price was excellent . Thank you so much. God bless you and your boys and thank you for your service in military.
Eric and his team were excellent to work with and very reasonably priced. We would recommend them to anyone moving to Idaho especially from another state. They were able to accommodate our changing schedule, loaded and delivered our things quickly without any damage. Thanks!!!
Eric and his team did a great job moving us into our commercial space. They were conscientious, efficient and worked quickly, getting the job done sooner than expected. I would highly recommend! Thank you better route moving!
Great handling of property. Super nice. Guys were considerate of where to put things and took direction well.
