Moovers, Inc

We used Moovers, Inc for a long distance move which also then involved National Van Lines. The experience could not have been better. There were a few small hitches during the process but nothing that one should not expect with a move. The team at Moovers was always available to answer the smallest question and to make the process more smooth. The price was right, the transfer to National could not have been easier, and the driver was excellent. We’ve moved a lot in the past so knew what to ask for in terms of a contract (binding not to exceed) and they were willing to work with us on every detail though we had a smaller load than most. I liked them so much that when we return to the area I will contact them first. Moving is stressful enough, whether you go five miles or five thousand. These guys made me feel like we had it all covered. Be specific in what you expect, ask questions and don’t assume, and don’t be shy about being a pest (I was a big pest) and go with your gut. These guys always, no matter how small or pesky my question or request, were right on it and accommodated everything I asked for and more. We packed our stuff but I might have them pack next time. Some advice (having done this a million times) about packing? Don’t leave valuables — carry those yourself. Make sure you keep a suitcase or small box with stuff you’ll need immediately while waiting for the truck to arrive. Don’t pack important paperwork — carry that stuff with you (insurance, certificates, passports, bank stuff). Read the booklet and paperwork they provide — it’s helpful and some information is absolutely vital (about charges, extras, mileage, insurance coverage). And don’t omit reviewing the inventory when it’s loaded or unloaded — it’s your way of keeping track. Count the boxes, count the items. And don’t be shy about asking questions, and keep asking until you are satisfied. Moovers is one of the best and I’d use them again, no question.

These movers are amazing. They arrived on time and worked so very hard would definitely hire these movers again. They even charged me less than the quote because they finished the move faster than planned

This is the second time I have used Moovers. Once for a big move for my parents and today for one item, but very heavy. The staff was courteous, professional, and quick! I would definitely suggest Moovers Inc for jobs big to small!

Charles came to our house and gave us an estimate for our move that was reasonable, and we actually came in several hundred under estimate because the movers were efficient. Keith confirmed our move by email, and then by phone call 24 hours ahead of time again. The crew of 3 showed up on time within the 2-​hour start window, were ready to go, and moved our 2 bed/​1 bath with basement and shed storage to our new house in about 6 – 7 hours total. They were gentle with our furniture, and somehow put our bedframe back together better than it was before! I would absolutely hire these guys again for our next move.

I cannot show my gratitude enough for Andrew, Alex and Hector! They absolutely made my life so much easier! They made a great team and worked well together. They carefully packed up my things (and I have a lot) and moved me out of a house I spent 40 years in. They were extremely polite, professional, fast-​paced and efficient. I’ve never used movers in my life and have always done everything myself. I am so glad I didn’t do it this time! They are extremely affordable compared to other quotes I received and were right on time! They sure did take care of my things because everything arrived in one piece!
These guys were phenomenal and I highly recommend using them for your moving needs. The only thing: I wish I fed them lunch because they worked their butts off without taking any breaks. If only they can give me some of their energy! You guys rock! Can I hire you to unpack my 20+ boxes you guys so meticulously packed? ;-) You’ve guys definitely set the standards high! I appreciate you and all your hard work! Thank you thank you thank you.

200% Satisfied! Honestly I thought affording this move was going to be out of the question. When they contacted me, I had already received a quote from a couple of other moving companies and was very skeptical that this was going to be any different. Their scheduler was very polite and I explained to her that we had decided to rent trailers and attempt to move ourselves. She said, «Well, if you’d like to give us the opportunity, I can send someone out and take a look just in case we can help you.» The very next day, (I was out of time!), Charles came out. He was very professional and obviously knew what he was doing. I never felt any sales pressure or underhanded sales tactics. Their pricing was great and I was sold. On the day of the move, Robert and his crew showed up exactly on time. They set to work immediately and took great care with my belongings. They met my husband on the other end of the move down in Southern California and again, prompt and professional. I am beyond pleased!
They stuck to their price quote and did not try and sneak in any extra charges, when in fact, they probably had all right to do so. This is one VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER!

I had a good experience with this outfit, which I called at the last minute — just two days before I needed to do a small move. The two young men who arrived, Ian and Kevin, were polite, timely, industrious, and efficient. They knew what they were doing, and orchestrated the moving process smoothly. I was very happy with their work and would use them again.

This is regarding Moovers out of Pittsburgh, Ca. What a rip off company. Arrived late, damaged 10 objects and tried to hide it. When I called the office, the Secretary tried to blow me off, saying that the movers were probably afraid to say anything as they might lose their jobs. What! We didn’t even claim our total damage– and informed us we didn’t meet the deductible of $ 500.This company has been reported to the BBB. DON’T USE THEM.

We used Moovers Inc to move our house contents from San Francisco to Seattle in June (2015).
To be upfront, the actual movers on the day of pickup and subsequent delivery (via National Van Lines) was just fine.
We paid a lot of money for ‘packing services’ to be included as part of this move. On the day of packing (June 16^th) the crew showed up — seemed like 3 nice enough guys — we even bought them lunch and gave a good tip.
However, much to our huge disappointment when our stuff showed up in Seattle:
— We found that my wedding ring (!) had been stolen from a downstairs bathroom in addition to a new bottle of cologne. We know this because all my other cologne bottles showed up and my ring was always in the same place in the same locker. I was so busy in days leading up to the move I forgot to pack it away myself.
— Most of the electronics were packed without any protective wrapping (paper or bubble wrap) — My printer was smashed and stereo receiver was broken.
Needless to say the stolen items has caused huge upset for us — you expect that a ‘licensed and insured’ company such as Moovers Inc would use reliable and trustworthy packing crews that are being let into your home. Its equivalent to daylight robbery.
Now you may ask why i wasn’t wearing said wedding ring — I typically wear my engagement ring and leave my wedding ring for special occasions.
Unfortunately Moovers Inc were neither understanding or helpful on the stolen items — because i didn’t meet all of the following criteria (per them):
— Able to prove items were tendered for shipment — this is normally done with the inventory or in this case should have been listed on a high value inventory form
— Able to prove that we failed to deliver the items — this is normally done at check off with items noted as missing, or cartons that appear to have been tampered with
— Must be a determinable value — which you have placed but there is no support of the amounts claimed
I was never notified about a ‘high value inventory form’, didn’t have any checklist or receipts for my wedding ring bought 10 years ago. Unfortunately it really is my word against theirs.
They did reimburse for the electronics but nothing on the stolen items.
To make it worse the Sales guy (Charles) never returned my calls — everyone is friendly until they get their check and then nobody cares.

My friend just used Moovers and is singing their praises. She isn’t a Unilocaler, but I’m passing on her good vibe about this company.

Best money we ever spent! The three guys from Moovers, inc were so professional, fun, and took great care of our stuff during our local move. They even brought wardrobe boxes for us to use and came in slightly under the estimate. We would definitely use Moovers again and highly recommend them.

What an amazing experience!!! These guys were so fast and efficient and careful. An absolute pleasure.

What a super pleasant experience! The 3 guys were amazing, nice, professional, fast and on time. Final price came in under original quote. They took amazing care of my stuff and house. No dings, no scrapes.
I would highly recommend moovers inc!!!
Thank you guys!

I used this company on the 19^th of December, and it was storming outside. I knew they would cancel because the weather was bad. Instead they moved me and was very careful with my belongings. They were plesant and professional. I did tip them at the end of the job but it wasn’t enough money because they deserved more. They will also come to your house and give you a price so no surprises with the cost. Thanks to Ricky and his crew!

We used Moovers Inc November 2014 to move from CA to VA. They arranged for a delivery at a last minute request. They came out and did a consultation which was almost spot on. The company that did the loading in CA was different from the delivery. I was told Moovers Inc would be the drivers all the way through. Took took 3 days longer than estimated to arrive so rather than coming on a weekend came on a weekday which made it a little difficult as had get off work. The part that hurt Moovers Inc was that only the truck driver did all the moving so that took 6 hours. Only a few things got knicked but nothing major to report a claim. It was hard to get a hold of the company for questions once the stuff was loaded on to the truck in CA. So like many companies, once the sale was done they were out of the scene. They do let you pay for the move all at once up front with a card rather than having to split up the payment.
The driver did put most of the stuff back together that they took apart to move however a couple of things weren’t. Plus I had left over screws which was a concern.

We used Moovers, Inc. last month to move out of our 3-​story condo/​townhouse in Hayward to a 2-​story single-​family house in Pittsburg and had a fantastic experience.
Moovers Inc ended up being the only company we had come out for a consultation. Once they told us we could move with a 3-​man crew and a 26-​ft truck there was really no need to have others come out. At that point we just did price comparisons and Moovers Inc came out lowest. Plus they provide wardrobe boxes to use on moving day for free! It came out to $ 145/​hr for a 3-​man crew.
Mike quotes a 7-​hour move + 2 additional hours for double drive time. We ended up doing it in a little over 4 hours with 1.5 hours for double drive time. The key was that we had EVERYTHING packed the night before and moved ALL boxes down to the garage. That way they only spent their time coming up and down stairs to move furniture (which we had also disassembled). This saved TONS of time. They are more than willing to disassemble and assemble your furniture, but you’ll be paying for it, so if you can do it yourself, I highly recommend it.
This was our first time going with professional movers. The others times I’ve moved I’ve gathered up bodies and we’ve spent ALL DAY moving and it’s just tiresome and stressful. The crew was professional and efficient. They actually KNOW how to load a truck efficiently and protect all of our stuff. We didn’t have any nicks or dings either.
I would highly recommend going with professional movers if you’re on the fence, and once you do make that wise decision, go with Moovers Inc!

Scott, Darrell and Tom moved us from El Cerrito to Richmond 8 days ago.
They arrived early, full of energy and enthusiasm! My husband and I were very impressed by their team work, up beat attitudes and unending energy!
They wrapped, they carried, they went up and down stairs repeatedly without complaint. Nothing was dropped, damaged or lost!
If you use Moovers, Inc. and we recommend that you do… ask for these three! You won’t be sorry!

We used Moovers to move from New York City to San Francisco including our car. They packed everything from start to finish. The crew was professional and fast. Price was transparent and fair. The work order worksheet did not have hidden costs unlike some of the other major national moving companies. The quote was straightforward and easy to understand. I dealt with the Moovers staff in New Jersey and CA. Both great and professional. And I even had to reach out to them two years later to get an invoice for my tax audit. They got me the documentation in minutes.
We had a few minor things that were damaged not surprisingly given the distance. It was super easy fill out claim forms. Unlike some of the horror stories I have heard with other moving companies.
I will definitely use Moovers again.

We just moved our 8,000 sq ft office with Moovers Inc. Mike W. came out and gave us an estimate, told us exactly what we needed to do, and provided us with everything to make this relocation run smoothly. We are very impressed on how professional these guys conduct themselves and their quality work ethic. Not a moment wasted and they delivered quality service. We will definitely use this company again.
Thank you to Keith, Mike W., Jason, Scott, Mike D., Howard, Hector, Joe P., and Steve. You guys carried us through.

We moved with Moovers Inc 2 weeks ago, and we had never moved with professional movers before so I was a bit worried about the process and about my things! Mike came over to give us an estimate and I have to say that of the 4 people who came over to give us estimates, he was the nicest, the friendliest, and the most straightforward. Plus, he was on time and not completely creepy like the first guy who came to give us an estimate. It’s strange having someone come over and look through all your stuff, but he made the process comfortable, so I pretty much decided I was going with Moovers Inc from the start, regardless of their estimate. But it ended up that he also gave me the lowest estimate so that was a bonus! I needed to change my moving date from Apr 28 to mid April so on a Monday I called the office and asked how soon they could move me and they said Thursday — that was perfect! They said it would take 2 to 8 days to deliver my stuff to my destination 700 miles away, but I would likely have it by Sunday.
When Tom and Rob and their moving guys showed up at 9:30am on Thursday, they said they would deliver on Friday!!! Needless to say, I was thrilled! As I watched them pack up all of our belongings, I couldn’t believe how efficient and careful they were. Everything was packed really well to the point that I was not at all worried about my stuff making it here safely. Tom was very professional and I definitely felt confident about him handling the move. So off we went at 11pm to drive to Arizona to make sure we beat Tom and Rob to the destination! They showed up 2 hours after we did — perfect timing! The guys who unpacked us were not as professional or as careful as the guys in Davis, but it was a local crew, and Tom and Rob were still there to make sure everything went well so we still felt good about the move.
There’s only one thing I’m disappointed about and this may be my own faulty expectations — they put the bed back together, but I was under the impression that anything they take apart, they would put back together, so I was disappointed that they drove away and my curio cabinets were not reassembled. But that’s not the reason I deducted a star. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that we can’t find our TV remote controls anywhere!!! We looked in every single box and they are nowhere to be found! We are 2 people with 4 TVs so it’s pretty obvious that we are TV people and cannot live without our TVs, which means we cannot live without our remotes since some of our devices (Apple TV, Roku, Amazon TV) can’t function without the remotes. Now I have to go purchase new remotes for all of these devices! Tom, why why why didn’t you guys tape the remotes to the TVs???

I wrote this review for the New Jersey office, but I liked Moover’s so much I want people in CA to know how pleased I am. So:
Had a great experience with Moovers, transporting my life in New York City to San Francisco.
Moovers was cheaper than the other places we got estimates from, they gave me a Not-​to-​Exceed price (most places wouldn’t), they were fast with load-​in and load-​out, they packed everything very securely, and they didn’t lose anything. They included a month of storage in the price of our move, and the monthly storage expense after was reasonable (though we luckily didn’t require more than the complimentary 30 days).
Their packing and inventorying system was solid, and their customer service and communication was really excellent.
I recommend them to everyone who asks, and if I ever need to move across the country again, I’ll definitely let them have an encore performance.

Quick, effective service! Jason C, and Mike D. did a great job, kept to the timetable, and provided much needed help moving. My first time hiring help, and I was quite happy with the results. Definitely recommend!
Note: credit cards incur a processing fee.

This company was absolutely excellent. They made a stressful experience as easy as it gets. I moved from Manhattan to San Jose, CA so that’s about as far as it gets. They came in at $ 300 less that they quoted.
Melvin on the New York end came right on time, which was crucial because of alternate side parking. He and one other guy humped 75 boxes down 2 flights of stairs in 14 degree weather without a complaint. I even had extra stuff they had to wrap individually. And they had to take the door off to get the couch out. That alone took almost an hour. Amazing. I tipped big.
Art and Tommy were actually early on the California end. Not as physically challenging no stairs and 60 degrees) they finished in an hour flat. They checked in, by number, every box on a sheet.
Nothing was broken and everything worked perfectly.
USE THEM.
