Dear CARGO EXPERTS...Delivery was smooth and professional. I was very impressed, actually. Everything was offloaded and in my apartment in one hour. One group offloading the truck, one staging at the elevator, and one moving stuff in from the elevator. They offered to open boxes, but that is my job...Thanks for the service. Take Care,...Jeff T.
