What customers said about donated goods pickup
The 2 men were very efficient in the junk removal and in loading the truck, and they took extra precautions in protecting the walls from scratching or damaging. Excellent service. I reccomend College Hunks for junk removal very highly.
Hunks arrived on time and we’re very efficient. Very courteous and knowledgeable. Would use their services again.
Second time we used College Hunks. Both times incredibly professional and very helpful. Willing to ensure customer is happy with the outcome. Will use them again for sure.
Andrew P and Evan C came and did a great job removing all the items we had and taking them away. They were friendly, professional, right on time and so helpful!!! Great guys and great service! Great service all around and so helpful to not have to move it all out myself!!!
Justin C. Manager along with the guys that did the work, Nate C. & Dyllon A we’re great to work with excellent communication. They are efficient, polite, careful & generally good to work with. This is the fifth time I have used this service & will definitely use them again & recommend them without hesitation.
I hired College Hunks for three moves. One moving out of my home to an apartment, another moving out of apartment to a new home and a third to donate furniture. In all three cases they offered excellent service. They were courteous and helpful and very considerate of our things. I wouldn’t choose any other…
