Giant Monkey Movers

Shawn and his crew did a tremendous job on a small business move. They arrived on time and started right in on packing and organizing our belongings. They moved through the packing quickly but were very careful. We felt a lot of stress but they were upbeat, friendly and optimistic about finishing the job on time. They completed the packing and move just under the two hour flat rate period. The whole experience was positive and economical. I would highly recommend their service and thank them for a job well done.

Shawn and Josh helped me move some boxes and bedroom set from a 2^nd story to a 3^rd story! They were right on time, incredibly professional, and very nice. Not to mention FAST! They got everything done before the 2 hour minimum which was very helpful to me financially. They never once complained about the 3 story move and disassembled/​reassembled my furniture. I would recommend this company for moving purposes in a heartbeat! Definitely will use again in the future.

Professional, fast & friendly! Great job in unloading my 26 ft truck! Thumbs up!

Prompt, courteous, professional, competent, strong (yet gentle with our fragile furnishings), honest. What more could you want from a mover? Definitely much more highly evolved than the name would suggest. I’ve dealt with many movers over the years and this was the best experience I’ve ever had. You won’t go wrong with these guys.

I contacted GM yesterday afternoon for a next morning move, they were very accommodating and professional, we’re there at the designated time worked efficiently and carefully, couldn’t ask for more

Found out the house we were renting was up for auction due to the owners not paying their mortgage. We had to find a new place and move out quick, and Garrett saved our butts. Got our 4 bdrm house loaded up quick and easy. I could focus on my pets and my daughter, less stress! Great service.

Giant Monkey Movers sent Shawn and Sal to help move my 8 years of accumulated life into an 18×20 foot storage unit. They were both efficient and considerate and as kind as can be. They are experienced and took excellent care of my things as if ther were their own. They really managed to take some of the stress out of moving. I plan to have GMM, and Shawn and Sal specifically, help me unpack at the other end of my move. I would recommend this company and these two guys to anyone. Thank you again.

Our family was in a bind and had to make a spontaneous and immediate move. Within an hour GM Movers came to our rescue. The movers were professional, pleasant to work with, and had the job done in record time. I would recommend them to friends and family any day for their moving needs. Thank you again GM Movers for a job greatly done!

I called Sunday for a Monday appt. and was impressed that I got the time I needed and everything was completed in less time than I expected. I needed furniture disassembled, moved and reassembled all in the same home, but working around existing furniture. The job was a pain, but I was told «if it was easy you wouldn’t have called us». Great attitude. Thanks, guys!!!

I am a Military wife and was left alone to do a very simple move into a storage facility so I hired «GM Movers» (aka Giant Monkey Movers). I was in a hurry and was worried about getting taken advantage of because this was my first rodeo with moving, so I Unilocaled these guys and they seemed okay and had the most reviews. They also offered me multiple discounts for being military and for sighting them on this site. On the phone, they seemed great and quoted me half the price of what «the other guys» were. So here comes moving day… I wait an hour and a half and these guys are just now showing up on the job. I had made a clear email contract with the manager stating that they would be bringing packing materials and packing my belongings. When they showed up, they had NOTHING with them and «NO idea» that they were to be packing for me! So, after a showdown with the boss via cell phone, they finally went and picked up packing materials– setting us back yet another hour or so. They packed my stuff, things seemed to be going nicely then they threw out the curve ball of not being able to move my TV because I didn’t have the original box, thanks for the heads up on that one! After an even larger hullabaloo with them leaving their truck full of my stuff outside of the storage facility over night so they didn’t have to work in the late night, they give me the «final quote» and it was about $ 200.00 higher than it was originally. I was exhausted, confused, and didn’t know how to argue with them, so I paid it. They took advantage of me just like I was worried about. The next day when they were to show up to unload the truck, it was raining so they took their sweet time getting there– I was on a tight schedule– they started unloading into my facility and I saw that none of the boxes were labeled, when I asked about it, they told me I had to ask for them to label the boxes. Wow. I had no time to go back to my apt. to see if they actually did their job, I had to hop on a train to LA. Later that night I got a call from my landlord telling me that they left my entire bathroom completely intact, décor and all! Not only did I lose all of that bathroom stuff from the apt. (I was in another state the next day), but my landlord charged me for leaving stuff there! I would recommend this company only to someone I hate.

These guys were fantastic! I had to pack up and move my elderly mother in whirlwind time. I did most of the packing on Thursday. They showed up mid-​day Friday, per our scheduling, and not only were they fast, friendly and efficient, but they even helped safely pack-​up lamps, pictures, and other fragile items. We did an out-​of-​state move, so they weren’t the crew on the unloading side in Arizona, but I’m happy to report that once unloaded, we didn’t have any breaks or casualties of personal items. I would HIGHLY recommend using GM movers.

Super fast response, showed up exactly when they said they would. Proffesional, polite and handled everything smoothly!

Garrett saved my sanity today!
I called him around noon needing last minute (I mean Day Of) help with my family’s move. He came out with Anthony within an hour and moved everything we had before my the land lady came to do check out.
What’s more, we had agreed on a flat fee for a fixed time, which usually makes movers slower than snails, but not Garrett. He always asked if he could do more or what else we needed and he even suggested moving some things I would have missed. He worked to get the whole job done.
Both guys had a great attitude, and were super friendly, even though I kept calling them by the wrong names. (Uhh Jared? Andretti?)
Garrett also recommended a house cleaner who came out and did a full vacancy cleaning the same day and undercut every other estimate I had gotten.
There’s no way to express my gratitude for evything they did today. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Apparently, Unilocal deleted my previous review for GM Movers, claiming that i did not have enough first hand experience regarding this business. It is disheartening to know that, like a long-​term boyfriend who would drop you in a heartbeat for some plastic manipulative biatch, Unilocal decided to side with an unscrupulous business that offered him $ 100 bucks sponsorship fee over his devoted fan.
Now one might argue it is candid human nature behavior, i, somehow, still had a tinge of hope in believing fairy tales such as the prince will pick the kind farmer girl instead of gaudy evil princess. Unilocal,and you burst my last hope in fairy tales…
Now, to prevent you from deleting my review again. I have studied your policy thoroughly and here is my personal encounter with GM Movers: i still side with Cheryl D! and why? because she is my darn sister and i was there with her the entire moving time! If she was angry enough to finally sign up to warn people about her bad experience, now, why, can’t i speak up my opinion?
i saw how lazy the movers were and how they picked the lightest thing among the whole house while we were helping (we are two girls who weighted no more than 120 lbs!). i saw how they charge you by hours but then sneak to the corner to talk on personal phones. i saw how they agreed to give you a certain rate over the phone but then showed up in front of your house and demanded for extra. and all of this, I SAW IT.
now Unilocal,after hearing all this, you still decided to stay with this evil GM instead of your devoted fresh-​faced little asian lover of 2 years?
ahh. and okay. just like understanding all men prefer evil and manipulative big boobs over me, i understand you. I am the rule, never will be, the exception.

It was a flawless experience — super friendly, fast, and efficient. I actually booked with them based on the good reviews here on Unilocal.
I had to move an upstairs one bedroom apartment into an upstairs storage unit. GM sent over 2 movers (both extremely experienced and professional). The the entire contents of my place were packed and secured neatly in the truck in 34 minutes. Ridiculously fast. It takes me longer than that to get a half dozen boxes in my car. Granted, all of my things were packed in storage boxes and the bed frame was dismantled, but their efficiency was a pleasant surprise (since you’re paying by the hour).
The storage unit was just large enough to fit my things and they did a phenomenal job playing «Tetris» to get it all in. From start to finish, it took about an hour and half. Still in awe of how fast they were.
Their pricing is very reasonable and I think you get more than you pay for. I would undoubtedly use them again for any other moves I have in the future.

I had a horrible experience with GM Movers. i would give them a negative star if I could! First of all, one of the movers was on the phone for 20 minutes and was only picking up light stuff with one hand. Then knowing the clients are charged by hours, they really take their sweet time! Also, watch out, they will try to trick you and double charge you for fuel. The deal they gave me on the phone includes a flat charge for fuel. I specially asked whether there woule be a «double drive time» charged for the traveling cost, they said no, yet they came with empty tank and during the move they told me they will have to go put gas in, and because this is during my moving process I will have to pay for that time as well. Also, on the phone, they agreed to charge me $ 80/​hour, but when they showed up, the first thing they did was to have me sign a contract that listed $ 85/​hour. When I asked about the price discrepancy, they tried to deny the discount they agreed on! They were horrible, do NOT use them!!!

These guys are fantastic! I would use them again in a heartbeat. The price was very reasonable and the job done in 3 hours flat. I was super impressed with my guys — they were nice, focused and ridiculously strong! Seriously, these two guys got the job done faster, better and without a single complaint (from a 2^nd floor to a 2^nd floor) and put the 4 man crew that moved me here from Vegas to shame. Thank you GM Movers!

Wow, GM Movers made my move very pleasant and relaxing! I requested for three men to help me move, and all three of them were super nice, very well mannered, super attentive, and hard workers indeed! The price was the best it can be, and they are available on short notice as well. Would definitely call them again if I need to move. Thanks GM Movers, you are awesome!

We used GM Movers for a household move. They were wonderful! The two we had were friendly, hard working and never once complained, no funny looks… bottom line… first rate Company and employees. The price was very reasonable and after moving many, many times with the military I can tell you, they are the best! Thanks GM, we will call again!

These guys are great! Needed a couple of guys for a last minute move — lots of boxes and miscellaneous stuff — and checked craiglist, they sounded okay, so I e-​mailed. Quick response, accurate quote, they checked in by phone before they arrived, and they showed up on time. They were careful with my stuff, seemed to pack it well in the truck, and put it all where I asked them to. In the complicated moving world, sometimes it’s hard to come up with «a couple of guys with a truck» to move the stuff without a lot of complications. And I think they are quite capable of handling larger moves as well.
Mine was the tail end of a much larger move handled by a «big» moving company — we had moved from one house in Carmel Valley, put stuff in storage, and had a furnished vacation rental we had to move out of and into the new house in Encinitas Ranch. GM Movers helped us with the move from the rental, which ended up being a surprising amount of stuff that either the other movers didn’t want to store (family photos, documents, that kind of thing that we wouldn’t have access to when in storage) or that we needed for the 2 months in the rental (important business and personal files and clothes!). They were pleasant and accommodating, and I highly recommend them.
