Aloha Care Moving, Storage & Furniture Assembly

This is a super late review. But at the time that I used their services, I was not utilizing Unilocal much. Now that I do, I thought I’d put in my two cents…
Anyway, this company has made me quite leery on using moving companies referred to by others (an ex-boyfriend’s wife, then girlfriend). She mentioned how her sister used this moving company and loved it, how they were reasonably priced, and professional. I thought to myself, «Great! I’ll use them». Being a poor single person living in the Bay Area. I needed to be cost conscience.
I gave them a call and gave them as much information as needed. They gave me a price quote and said they would have 4 people to move me from a two bedroom apartment to another two bedroom apartment. Mario seemed nice enough over the phone.
Long story short… it started badly by arriving late to my old place. The next thing was they had this truck that did NOT look like it would fit all my stuff in one trip. It all fit. but I had A LOT of damaged things. Their receipt consisted of a piece of lined paper from a spiral notebook with the handwritten prices … Lastly, I believe they gypped me cash (that’s all they took) as I looked everywhere and could not find my $ 60.00. And I know for certain I took out enough cash that covered what was quoted, some tips, and extra cash for MYSELF. Granted, Mario is a nice guy. Just not the greatest businessman.
I wished I had reviewed them immediately after the whole moving debacle, as my memory on the details are quite fuzzy (this was about 2 years ago). But, better late than never.
I would think they’d get better, but judging from another recent review. I don’t think that is the case.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! I SUGGEST TO NOT USE AT ALL!
Verdict: EPIC FAIL!

I did not use them for my move because they required a $ 40 payment to come out and give me a quote, no other moving company I contacted from
asked for this. JJ’s moving, All reasons, and another vendor all came out promptly & offered very professional service & complimentary quotes. I will be going with one of them for my move, I would not recommend Aloha moving if you are being reimbursed for your move by your company.

I’ve hired Mario and his assistant twice in the last month. Both times they were professional and courteous. The first time, I had purchased two items of furniture (from CL), located in different homes, in different geographic areas, over Thanksgiving weekend. Mario coordinated the pickup and delivery of both items without my having to do anything other than be home when he arrived with the furniture. The second time I needed to have Mario meet me at a storage facility to pickup some furniture items… and with very short notice. In both instances, Mario was punctual, considerate, and very resourceful about how to manage the move. He earned both my repeat business and my trust; I would recommend Aloha Care without reservation.
