    The ever so efficient and trusted movers.
    R A.

    We've used them 3 times so far and as long as we live within areas that they service, we won't even bother calling anyone else for the job. They are fast and very careful. Their price is very good and their service is amazing! I booked everything through email with Tim, whom is very responsive and clear on all correspondence.

    Jimmy and Jose showed up on time and went right to work. They were fast, professional, and courteous. Definitely would hire them again.

    Do you move piano and how much do you charge if it's just a piano and 30 miles each way?

    We only move pianos if they are part of a larger job. You would do best to contact a specialist piano mover.

    Viktor and his team (Andres, Sergei) helped us with our 3rd(?) move with Royal Moving. We've hired…read morethem again and again not just for the repeat customer discount but because they've done a solid job each time -- even if there are other companies that do it for cheaper. The team was efficient, respectful, and understanding of the hot mess of a move we had for them - lots of packing help with not a lot was ready to go, plus some unexpected furniture moving that required disassembly/reassembly. They came right about 15 minutes after the end of the arrival window which actually worked out well so we could prepare more for them, but overall everything was faster than they/we estimated which is great when you're paying by the hour. They used supplies we had bought from Home Depot and Amazon, plus their own for the wardrobe and other big things. One glass jar was broken in the unpacking process and they were quick to apologize and clean it up the best they could. While they ask customers to leave a review (totally understandable), I appreciate that they don't incentivize for them nor do they demand 5 stars. We'll be calling for them again, no doubt. Thank you!

    They delivered my furniture 4 days late, and they were not communicative at all or even apologetic…read moreabout the delay. We had scheduled a delivery day and time, and only hours before they told me that it was not going to happen. Every day after that, I called them and they told me it was being delayed by a further day. They never reached out to me to tell me or to schedule a new time. I had to reach out to them every time. Finally, after 4 days I got them to schedule a time. To add insult to injury, they showed up over 2 hours late to that scheduled time too. Horribly unprofessional, will never use them again or recommend them to anyone. I didn't mind the delay. But the complete lack of communication was unacceptable. I had to sleep on an air mattress and stay at friend's places, without any knowledge of where my stuff was or when it was coming.

What really stood out, though, was their professionalism and kindness when my plans unexpectedly changed and I had to cancel. Instead of making it stressful or difficult, they were completely understanding and gracious about it, which is honestly rare and so appreciated. Even though I didn't end up using their services this time, their responsiveness, flexibility, and customer-first attitude left a lasting impression. I wouldn't hesitate to book with them in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a moving company that truly cares about its customers.

They were friendly and handled my items with care. The biggest bump in the road was something that was completely my fault, but unfortunately, my sofa did not make it up the stairwell and had to go back to storage making it a very costly move as the drive time became much more expensive. They had really tried to make it work and sadly, my sofa didn't come apart so they had no option to even break it down. My only feedback would be that I had wished they had told me the estimated cost of moving the sofa back into storage as I probably could have gotten partway to a new sofa. Lesson learned for future moves -- make sure to measure the stairwells and elevator prior to the move! Thanks again Justin, Abu, and Nur!

Then the messages started coming in. I received 10 inquiries from various moving companies, but Prodigy came in first. You can tell that the 1st messages look automated, but Abby came in with a personal message as well and sent me the specifics to my move quickly. I had her on the phone within a couple of hours. I had diligently worked through all the companies and looked at the various price points and what it included. I was really weary on how fast things would go, but Abby said, for the size of myhome, she suggested 4 movers at $195. Since they also had great reviews and seemed very professional, I completed my reservation by the end of the day. Day of move: Not going to lie, I waited too long to pack up my office and boy, did I feel it on moving day. My office was still not fully packed, it had a lot of furniture to be moved and I was literally still working when they arrived. Arrival time was between 8-9 AM. Ivan called a little after 8 AM to let me know they would be arriving in about 45 min since it was traffic and they were coming from the valley (I was in Echo Park). So I started excusing myself from work and prepared for their arrival. Everything happened so fast. I showed them around the apartment: 2 stories and 1 level up from garage (2 sets of stairs) and then a long driveway. I had stuff in the backyard and the balcony too. I asked if they could put some furniture out on the street for pickup and they helped me out with that as well! I let Ivan know that I was still working on breaking down the office, so he said he would go there last... and they all went to work. All I could here was the plastic wrap noise going round and round. They had broken down everything! Dining table, Peloton, Recliner chair.. It was amazing to watch and they did it with such care. They were done packing up in less than 4 hrs (3 bedroom apartment). We took the drive down south and they beat me there. They were already unloading and asking where to put things. Not only are they movers, they are also interior decorators LOL. We did not move into an empty house, so they helped us move things around and place stuff where we wanted. On top of that, they rebuilt all the things they took apart. I bought them lunch from a Busy Bee in San Pedro and a neighbor even offered them avocados from her tree! At the end of the day, I couldn't find my bag and phone! The whole team helped me try to find it because we thought it got buried in the garage! I had put it aside in one of the bedrooms and forgot where I had put it, but I was so grateful that they tried to help. I was thinking it would be an 8-10 hr day and it turned out to only be 7 hrs including the drive time. They made a very incredibly stressful time in my life as easy as possible. I definitely recommend Ivan and his team at Prodigy

    Everything was booked and planned and confirmed via email clearly…read more The movers came on the wrong DATE! Then Abby, the manager of schedule talked as if I was wrong and was unapologetic then just started complaining WHY CANT WE JUST TAKE THIS DATE SINCE MOVERS THERE ALREADY. I told her cuase were busy today and she just handled the entire situation as if we were to blame and never apologized. On top of that , their work order of WHERE to move my things was the WRONG ADDRESS!!! They dont really care about details and when they make mistakes, they act like your wrong and are rude about it. I understand miscommunications happens all the time, but even after showing her the clear emails which she confirmed herself in writing, she had no apologies. I have zero confidence in this mover company and cancelled the enitre order and will be hiring real pros. I have no idea how they got so many high yelp reviews. I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY.

She discussed my concerns and asked what would be fair compensation for my experience. She followed up & refunded me a fair amount. She discussed a plan for working with the movers & sales mgmt to ensure they have sufficient training on efficiency & company policies (not asking for tips). She said they offer a return customer discount & would ensure I wouldn't have the same team if I used them again. I got this company as a referral from a friend & am hoping this bad experience was a one off. While the move didn't go smooth & I had to pay a task rabbit & a helper money to make up for the lost time I had on a tight deadline, I appreciate Anna doing her best to make up for the bad experience. After this attempt at customer retention, I'd consider this company again. I've updated this review from 1 to 3 stars. The moving experience still stands at 1 but the attempt at repair gets a 5 star effort so I averaged the two. DONT HIRE THESE IMMORAL MOVERS. Today I moved from a 1 bd apt to another 1 bd apt. Any other time I've moved with other companies it has taken 4 hrs with 1-2 movers. This time I request 3 movers bc I had a short window before traveling and I needed it done quickly. Apparently 3 is a crowd. This move took 7 hours. SEVEN HOURS. I watched two of the three unscrew one screw together and it took them 20 minutes on an item that didn't need to be disassembled. They took all the small boxes out of the apartment first and put them out front. Then they continued to do that for a while then they took a few to the elevator and left them around for a little and then eventually loaded them into the truck. Towards the end of the move they had all the large items ready to go into the truck last (unheard of) and two of them went up the elevator to get one roll of Saran Wrap while the third stood outside the truck. One was on his phone every time I looked at him. I asked if one person could wrap furniture while the other two moved items and he snapped at me and said I needed to sign a paper saying I wouldn't hold it against them if the items got damaged. He also said I would need to pay his parking tickets if he got one from being in a loading zone. It was very apparent they were trying to milk the clock. I was quoted 3-5 hours for two people to do a 1 bedroom move so I got a third to speed it up and somehow that made it take longer. On hour 5, and still being at the first location, I called the company because I was concerned with the inefficiency and someone said they'd look into it and call me back. No one called me back. I called again and same thing. I called a third time and told them the movers were now waiting to be paid and I wasn't paying for 7 hours because they were simply milking the clock. The person on the phone was trying to ask me leading questions to convince me it was done right and I stopped her and said you have no idea what I experienced today and the fact that you're trying to tell me shows me you're trying to scam me out of money. I will not be paying for 7 hours of work so what can you do to rectify this? I called HOURS ago reporting my concern and no one called back after saying they would. The person on the phone then told me they'd give me $200 off ($170 an hour was the rate) while the manager the mover spoke to said they'd charge me for 5 hours. Then the manager called back and said I accepted $200 off so they should increase my bill again. I told them no and that I'd be paying the 5 hours and then they asked for tips. I gave them tips. Then I noticed my wine rack was missing within 20 min of them leaving so I called and they told me where it was and it wasn't there so I called back and they blocked me. So I'm missing at least my wine rack and who knows what else because hardly anything is unpacked because this move took all day. Would never recommend this company and will never use them again. I first scheduled a move with dolly but they couldnt secure a truck so I went with a referral from a friend and it wasn't great. I had paid my housekeeper to be with me for 12 hours today to help me unpack and she spent the majority of the day waiting for these guys to move my stuff. I wasted so much time and money today. And now have one day to unpack everything before going out of town. These 3 movers created such a domino effect in such a negative way for me. This was also the most I've ever paid to move. I normally pay around $500 for 2 movers to move in less than 4 hours and this cost me $900 on movers and another $500 for a helper who stood around all day with nothing to unpack because the movers were so inefficient . * $400 on a task rabbit to assemble items the movers didnt*Also they said they'd arrive between 8am and 10am. They got there at 9:45am so the people I asked to help my by supervising the trucks just sat there waiting for two hours. 2 thumbs down
