My parents were moving from their 4 bedroom home in Pasadena to a 3 bedroom home in Valley Village. Now my parents are wonderful at everything but they are big time hoarders. Not to a point where everything is all over the place and there's no room to walk but 2 of the bedrooms were full of useless items. I was very excited about their move because I have a very hectic schedule and I'm always traveling so I don't get to see them as often. I decided I would help them with their move. This way we could spend more time together. 3 of my siblings have moved to other cities with a minimum of 4 hour drive time so I felt obligated to do this since I am the only one close to home. For a few months I began researching and reaching out to a few moving companies for quotes. There were a lot of companies I felt safe with but for some reason Acclaimed stole my heart loll. They were the most professional and their rates were just perfect. You can't go with a company who charges too low because you can't ensure you'll get the best price and you can't go with a company too high because you'll be broke after the move. Acclaimed was borderline with the price and it was just right. When I first called I believe I spoke to Mike, he was very patient, understanding and answered all of my questions. Anytime a call representative answers all of my 101 questions I feel connected and feel as if I can put more trust in them. He was very honest and there were no hidden fees what so ever. I had purchased a Yelp deal and since I was a member of Angie's List they gave me an additional discount. I didn't book my move just yet because I wanted to call a few other companies to make sure I was dealing with the best. Also, there was still a month left until the move so I felt like I had more than enough time to call and book them when needed. The last month I began helping my parents pack and get rid of all their "precious" junk that had gathered in the 2 empty bedrooms. There was a week till my parents lease was up so I decided to call Acclaimed. I called and was transferred to Mike. Even though a couple weeks had passed he still remembered me and my situation with my parent's items. I had asked for a few storage units to hold my parents items until they decided what to do with them. Mike told me not to purchase anything and we would decide the day of the move as to exactly how many storage units I needed. I guessed approximately 5 or 6. The day of the move I received a call and was told that the movers should be there between 8-9 am. They arrived between that time slot (can't remember exactly when) The movers were very polite and immediately got to work. I let them know that the items in the 2 bedrooms were to be transferred to storage if possible so they did just that. There were a few items that I hadn't packed up in the living room because I wasn't sure of how to pack them correctly. The boys helped me pack up the few items and I was amazed at how neat and organized they were. They did a very fast job for all the items we had, including the ones that had to go to storage. Very rarely do I leave reviews for these types of companies but I had to give them 5 stars. read more

I added this company again because I'm not sure if the conflicting addresses had something to do with such horrible reviews it had gotten. If you Google "Acclaimed Movers" other places reviewed them well. I had to start another Yelp for them because of how great of an experience we have had with them. Moving is never fun and not always is it a happy time. Acclaimed movers called us shortly before they arrived to let us know they were near by which was a great start. They arrived on time as well. When two of them arrived they were very nice, introduced themselves and went through our apartment to make sure they moved the correct items. They started quickly yet carefully moving things down to the truck (which was PLENTY big). We lived on the second story, which they did NOT charge for the 16 stairs they had to haul heavy furniture down. We helped them move boxes downstairs however, due to company policy we were not allowed to put items in the truck which was more than okay and understandable. Never did they complain or lag to attempt to buy more time. Even when one of their cell phones went off, the mover took the call but told the caller he was busy and would talk later. The other mover got a text message but did not answer it. They were quick, careful and efficient. As far as the move goes, my moms pride and joy hutch they wrapped better then we she received it. They took such great care with everything, but were fast workers. They were friendly and upbeat for moving so many items down so many stairs. They must have been Tetris champions because they packed everything perfectly and safely. The movers moved everything into a storage about 25 minutes away and with only two guys, they unloaded everything so quickly! We had gotten two 8'x10' storage units but the movers said they thought we may only need one. Sure enough, everything was packed by them so perfectly and neatly that we only needed one storage. They didn't just pack stuff in and put fragile items under heavy items they actually had thought into unloading. The move took a little longer than expected but their estimate was pretty close as far as time and money. It was understandable for the price being more because of the time and also because we didn't have a proper box to move my mothers prized hutch. They didn't pressure us to buy things we didn't need but still mentioned things. For example, we had a big mirror to move and they suggested to make sure it was safe since it was so big we could get a box for it. Since the mirror was cheap we opted out which they didn't fight, and didn't pressure us into something else. So the cost was a little more than the estimate but it was for legitimate reasons. It took a little longer and we wanted to take extra caution in moving the hutch. For the life of me, I cannot remember one of the movers names (I am horrible with names) but one of them was named Gus. Both were awesome, courteous and hard workers. So Gus, you were awesome and the other gentleman with the shaved head and gray Acclaimed Movers shirt, you were fantastic too. Thank you both, and thank you Acclaimed Movers!!!!! read more

THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM!!! THEY WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE A LIVING HELL!!!! I hired them to move my stuff in my apartment from Los Angeles to NY. They Lost the headboard to my bed which was very expensive and I could no longer use the bead because everything linked to the headboard. First of all the price they give you on the phone is a total sham. Its not that price when the shady movers arrive they will throw wild numbers at you and you basically have no choice or they leave your stuff there. So you get screwed on the price. They are also incredible rude. Then once your stuff is shipped its really not even the same company that is handling your stuff anymore. They hand it off to another company who is even more rude and even more incompetent. The people that dropped my stuff off didnt care that my headboard wasnt there they told me i had to call customer service that they were just hired to drop the stuff off and wasnt their issue. They were in a rush to leave and basically left my stuff all over the place without my headboard and left. They were supposed to put my bed together but obviously couldnt. I called customer service placed a complaint they told me they needed 60 days to investigate. After sixty days I obviusly had to buy a new bed and they sent me a settlement letter for GET THIS $50!!!!!!! My bed cost $3250!!!! and they offered me $50. This company seems to get away with a lot of stuff and they literally put me through hell I had to sleep on the floor for weeks before my new bed arrived My old bed is no longer usuable, they made me wait 60 days then offered me fifty dollars. They emailed me back today telling me they were gonna pay me $100. The bottom line is this for the sake of your wallet and sanity DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I have filed a complaint with the attorney generals office of california and the better business bureau and will be having my attorney file a formal complaint in court tis week. They seem to be getting away with a lot of stuff but they finally ripped off the wrong person. I will go after this matter and make sure they dont do this to anyone else because i truly went through hell. STAY AWAT read more

Great job gentlemen, I can say this was a very smooth process for me. I found myself in bit of a rush and panic to find a a moving company in the knick of time since everything about my move was sprung on me. The big F bomb foreclosure hit me hard and I wasn't really sure what to do but I started digging on the online community that is my favorite tarot forum and I asked some people who had mentioned moving in their forum postings in the past and were in my area and I got two seperate suggestions that I go with this company. That was enough for me, so I went ahead and called the number I found on the search I did and was greeted by a lovely voiced call person named Tina. I was happy to see that Tina was never caught of guard by the various questions that I had and the entire exchange coupled with a cup of tea made me feel quite a bit of ease. The day came for the move and I was prepared having packed half my stuff and proceeded to move the boxes in the direction of the exit. The other half of my stuff I was assured by Tina I would be aided with and that the movers would bring all the neccessary packing materials and more boxes as I had ran out at that point. I greeted them in the front yard and was happy to see they did in fact show up with all the right stuff and more than enough boxes. I was told ahead of time that this would cost me but I didn't mind as there really isn't any price you can put on comfort and peace of mind. The whole process was relatively quick actually, I thought it would be longer, it took about an hour and a half and my guess beforehand was that it was take something like 4. I ended up paying a price that me happy that I didn't do things myself and also that I saved money. The whole experience was a treat and I will likely do it again the next time I move as I suspect I will have even less items and in this case I can just sit back like a queen bee and enjoy myself while my things are whisked away read more

I travel a lot, and I have went through many moving companies. However, this is the first time I feel like I have to leave a review for a moving company because they did such an amazing job. Usually, when it comes time to moving, I get this stressful feeling, because we all know that the moving process is a very long and stressful one. And on top of that, most moving companies are very sketchy and problematic. It was the exact opposite with Acclaimed. I spoke to one of their sales representatives, I believe her name was Samantha. She was very polite and informative. We clicked right away as we went through my inventory of stuff I had to move. She gave me a detailed and binding quote. I love how this company gives binding quotes, so that the price doesn't change to a higher one when you book (had that problem before). I ended going with three movers because I had 2 fully furnished bedrooms that needed to be move, and I wanted the job to be done quick. On the day of the move, Danny and his team arrived to my location. They were very professional with uniforms and name badges. They all spoke perfect English and were very experienced in moving. I love seeing professionalism in a company. The movers kept to themselves for the most part after I showed them what needed to be move. They were very quick and efficient and most importantly they were very careful with my belongings. They packed and loaded the truck with a damaging a single item. Not even a scratch! That made me really happy. Of course I gave the movers a good tip because they deserved it. Overall, this company deserves all this gratitude. They really are elite movers and I have not one thing to complain about. No hidden charges or fees at the end of the move. I got charged exactly what was promised. If I ever need to move again (hopefully I don't) I will move with Acclaimed Movers. read more

Let me start by saying we move A LOT. I've used almost all the big and small companies. Seriously...we move A LOT. I choose to use this company even though I saw lots of bad reviews. I know how yelp works, as a business owner myself, I know yelp chooses to put up certain reviews depending on the companies 'relationship' with yelp. ($$) So I gave this company a chance, because of all the companies I spoke with they were actually the only professional place. I was told in advance about all of the potential additional charges, which no other company did. We were asked how much packing we would do in advance so they could determine how much packing material we'd need and to estimate how much time we'd need. Why??? Because during our last moves these items weren't figured which caused issues etc... Here's how it went: had and estimate and PRE-advise on packing and prep. I was emailed videos in advance as well. (Very helpful!) Movers arrived and I didn't have as much done as previously thought. They let me know it would take longer... More $. It happens, I know cause its happened to me before, however, this time I was pleasantly surprised with the honesty up front! Next, the move continues and a few more unexpected things pop up. This crew helped us throughout them all. I can honestly say they acted like WE WERE ALL A TEAM and they cared about our move. Unlike the many previous moves we've had. Put some of our belongings in storage and have had to go to search for a beloved box of my husbands. Again, super helpful crew and professional staff. Shock! This was truly a good experience. Truly. I have recommended this co. To a coworker and she had a similar experience. I suggest calling them and speaking to them before making a choice regarding your next move. GOOD LUCK! read more

I have used this company because a dear friend had recommended it. Everything went very well for her, and I trusted her judgement. I still took a peak at Yelp reviews back in March, when my move took place. I saw four stars and many positive reviews! However, now that I am settled in and have been writing reviews for places I enjoy, I was shocked to discover that many positive reviews had mysteriously vanished!!! So I am even more glad to add my own, because I was so well taken care of! Acclaimed made my move easy and smooth. The gentlemen that showed up on time were kind and courteous. I own a lot of white furniture that I had hand-finished and decorated, and I was concerned with its' transportation. However, they took extra care with those pieces and made sure to wrap them very securely and handle them delicately. I also was pleased that their truck was very clean. I am kind of a neat-freak, even my garden items are clean and organized. It was reassuring to be moved by such polite guys, it made it easy for me to speak up and be specific about my preferences. I had moved before with help of friends, and, while I had appreciated their time and energy, having professionals do the move was so effortless, I would never consider moving independently again. Usually it took an entire day, some crankiness and my friends and I being too tired to do any work for days after. This time all it took was a couple of hours and no effort on my part. Oh, yes, I did have to pick up my phone and call! Poor me! Well, I do feel bad they have such weird luck with reviews, but it might work out to our benefit. You are more likely to get them to move you, because, apparently, not everyone knows how great they are! read more

I found Acclaimed Movers on Google and hired 6 movers for a long distance move from Malibu to Chicago. The move took three days in total to finish. The movers came early in the morning and on time all three of the days and were always ready to work with no sign of exhaustion. I spent most of the time in my office while they were doing the move, and every once in a while I would come check up on them. Every time I came out they managed to have packed and loaded so much of the stuff into their trucks and storage vaults. They really work quick and efficiently, which was very important to me because time was of the essence for this move. After they finished the move, and put some of my stuff in storage, they did a final walk around my house to make sure they weren't leaving anything behind. This gave me a sign of reassurance and safety that all my stuff was going to be delivered without any problems. It's been 2 weeks since my move, and all my stuff did get delivered, and not one single item was damaged during the move. They packed all my stuff with care. Especially when it came to the fragiles, like dishes and glasses. They packed each glass individually with wrapping paper and bubble wrap. It was a lot of stuff to unpack, but it was worth it knowing all my stuff got to Chicago safely. Acclaimed Movers are very professional and hard working. I can't imagine any customer giving this company less than 5 stars for any reason. They deserve all the credit. read more

I've learned the hard way that in the moving industry, you get what you pay for. To keep a long story short, I've moved around the United States, traveling to different universities for my studies. I always used a moving company to help me with my moves. The last 4 times I moved, I shopped around for the cheapest moving company with the lowest rates, and I always ended with a bad story. The service was horrible, and they ended up overcharging me at the end. So this time I decided to go with a more professional moving company without worrying too much on spending a little more. A good friend of mine recommended me Acclaimed Movers. I did my research, and rest assured I discovered that Acclaimed is an A on the BBB and is licensed with good customer reviews. Yes, it did cost me a little more than other companies, but after how the other companies overcharged me, I actually saved money with Acclaimed. This move that I had was from San Diego, CA to Chicago, Illinois. Acclaimed told me that they specialize in long distance moving and that they will guarantee a safe move. And that's exactly what they did. This company doesn't deserve anything under 5 stars. Spending that extra hundred bucks is really worth the stress and agony when moving with low class moving companies that are not even licensed. I will always move with Acclaimed from now. I highly recommend! read more

I have had terrible experiences with moving companies breaking and losing my things. I had already booked with Acclaimed before I saw their reviews. I had called to cancel my move but they had reassured me that my belongings were in good hands. I read through the nasty reviews and thought for sure my stuff was going to be broken and tampered with. But well was I wrong. Let's begin with the day before the move. Gina had called me to confirm my move and was very nice about everything. I told her that if anything went wrong I would be very upset with them. She told me I had nothing to worry about so I settled for Acclaimed. The afternoon of the move was blistering hot so I worried about the guys moving my stuff. I brought out a couple waters and waited for them to arrive. They arrived right on time and were all properly uniformed. I had told them that I wanted everything to be quickly and efficiently. They said they would not lag and began to work. I have a two bedroom house, or had for that matter, and I thought they would take all day. They only took four hours! They handled my stuff carefully and packed everything perfectly. The whole move turned out to be cheaper than any other moving company I have used charged me before! 5 stars is worthy for Acclaimed Movers, perfect move and I will definitely use them again! read more

When I first contacted acclaimed movers,I felt satisfied with the things they mentioned regarding my move.I don't move alot because its stressful and really painful for me.I requested a visual estimate to see around how much everything will cost me and what made me really happy was the Guy who did my estimate was very polite and very respectful. Not only did the Guy drive out of his way to estimate my belongs,but mentioned several times that I choose the right moving company to relocate myself. On the day of my move,I was a little stressed. When the movers got to my place.they respected me and my belongs in a very professional way.the guys packed all my stuff found things I forgot I had from years ago.the guys were very careful and work at a very great paste.when we got to my new place. I asked the movers if they could be extra careful because the walls were freshly painted.yeah,the bill come way higher then what the Guy estimated me but that is why they call them estimates.but besides that everything else was great and the movers made my move from San Diego to camarillo a great and wonderful experience for me and I didn't even move anything and those guys do it on a daily bases. So I thank God to acclaimed movers and everything they did for me thanks again acclaimed. read more

Ever since my last move (which as a pain in the behind), I decided to move with a professional moving company. Moving by yourself just takes too long and can be challenging with some of the heavy items. This time I moved from my condo in North Hollywood to a new apartment in La Crescenta. I used Acclaimed Movers because a good friend of mine recommended them to me. I called them and spoke to a young gentleman, (I think Mike was his name). He explained to me in detail how the moving process works. He gave me an estimate on my move. It was a little more expensive than I thought it would be, but he ensured me that moving with professionals would be the best decision I can make. So I agreed with his advice and booked the move. I went with three men and a truck. This including packing, dissembling, loading, delivery and unloading. The three men were great. They packed all my stuff and loaded it in the truck very quickly. The entire move took 5 hours. I expected it to take all day. It was a pleasant feeling when I moved into my new house before the sunset. I didn't get charged anything extra and was overall very satisfied with move. I definitely agree when they say moving with professionals will save you a lot of time and headaches. read more

This is my second time moving with Acclaimed Movers, and both times I had a consistent pleasant experience. The only difference was that this time I got a cheaper rate because I am a repeat customer. I really like how the sales people take care of all their customers and are really loyal and fair. I got lucky and ended speaking to the same Sales Rep. I did on my first move. She recognized my name and remembered giving me the quote for my other move. She was just as polite as last time and seemed happy to speak to me again. She gave me a reduced rate and gave me a binding quote. The movers were great just like last time. Very professional and quick at the job. I didn't have any problems with the job. No broken items, no overcharging. I always hear these problems with other moving companies. But people don't realize that you get what you pay for. I checked Acclaimed Movers' background, and they have an A+ on the BBB and 5 star reviews all around the internet. I'm really surprised that their Yelp is so low. But i hear that Yelp has a filtration problem they are working on as well. But don't let that fool you. Acclaimed is the superior moving company and they will guarantee you a successful move just like they did to me twice! read more

I used Acclaimed Movers and Storage to move me and a good friend into our new apartment over in Burbank. It was the first time using a moving company for both of us so we really didnt know what to expect... although we had heard our fair share of stories about holes in walls, missing items, crazy bills and drunk workers sneeking beers. So we did a good amount of shopping before coming to Acclaimed. The British man I talked to on the phone was sooo charming and came over to our houses and told us how long the move would take and what we would need. After talking it over we decided to trust him. And to our overwhelming relief not only did everything go smoothly as possible but they finished in less time then estimated. The actual movers were a veryy nice bunch of guys. They were very professional with their introduction but after we talked to them a little they opened up and joked around with us. Im sure they were having a blast being around four young pretty girls all day lol. But despite how chatty everyone was being they never stopped working. I have no clue how other moving companies do business but I can tell you that these guys at Acclaimed Movers that did my move were just absolutely great. read more

It had been nearly 14 years since our last move and of course there is always more to do than expected. Since we were moving a further distance we decided to look for a company that could provide us with good service at a fair price. I have been so busy trying to get everything else organized that it was such a relief to have a dependable professionals help! It made this whole transition so much smoother. I usually do not write reviews but I wanted to be sure to share my experience. From the first phone call I made they were pleasant and accomodating. The movers arrived on time, were friendly and carefully explained the process to us. Whenever moving it seems inevitable that something gets broken, damaged, or misplaced...Not this time!!! The movers offered professional advice about packing materials for some of my valuable pieces but with no pressure at all. I can't tell you how pleased I am with the whole experience!! I am in my new home and still can't believe how smooth this whole move was. I would definately recommend and use Acclaimed Movers again!!! Thank you Acclaimed for all your hard work and carefull attention to details! read more

Acclaimed are excellent. Reliable and consistent. I'm constantly moving from NY to CA and back again. I moved with these guys twice now and both times the move went very smoothly. They pack everything really well and nothing was damaged on either move. I been extremely happy with their service both times and I'll recommend them to my family and friends. From planning and coordinating our long-distance move, to the pick-up and drop-off, all went as smoothly as one could hope for. The Owner, Office Manager and movers were courteous, prompt and consistently communicated with us throughout the process. Our boxes and furniture were in good condition upon their arrival after being stored with Acclaimed, excluding our electric piano which had some loose screws. Although we didn't pay for the additional insurance, one of the movers kindly brought out his tools and fixed the piano stand like new. I would highly recommend using them if you're seeking to work with a company with a professional staff, that offers a competitive price, and employs movers that treat your possessions with care. read more

i was very happy with the my move. as beening a mother of 5 kids and 4 of them being under the age of 6, moving or anything else is not easy. i have been dreading this move, however acclaimed movers were very respectful and handle all the hard work i just directed them where i wanted my things and they took care of it. the moving guys were very nice and made me feel like i could relax during this stressful time. the lead guy walked me thought the contract making sure i knew and understood what was going on. all the guys on the crew were very Curtis and professional. at the end of the day when my belongs were moved in to my new house they looked the same way they left my old house. after seeing all the bad reviews I'm shocked cause my experience was great and i would recommend this company to others. Ive moved in the past with other company and done moves on my own and every time there was always something going wrong. this is the first time that Ive moved and everything went smooth. if i happen to move again (but i really hope i don't lol) i would be using this company again. read more

What darlingssss work at the offices as staff, they helped me with a home that I have been living in 15 years! -Thoughts on customer service- I called the office and was asked how I can be helped in moving, I said my goodness what I'm about to tell you may be to big a job for you folks but they said to me not to worry because they can do anything. Professional sounding girl on the phone helped me with understanding how this sort of thing plays out. -Day of the move- Well the day of the move, the movers showed up in a very clean truck and dressed quite well for movers, I was expecting the sort of people I see outside of the home depot but that was not the case. No no. -My new home- They came to my new house with the truck and unloaded all of my stuff without harming anything and I was very pleased. Now I am living in my new house with all of my things that I have been collecting for years and I'm thankful that I found such a company to handle my things like I would have handled them myself if I could move all of them over. read more

I moved with Acclaimed Movers last week and I just wanted to share my experience with my fellow Yelpers. If you need a simple move with no problems or headaches, I found them! This moving company is very simple and knows exactly what they're doing when it comes to moving. No confusing contracts or charges or anything like that. You call Acclaimed, they give you a quote, you book a date, the movers come, pack and load the truck, move, and unload. It really is moving made easy. I've had some bad experiences with other moving companies, always trying to over charge me with something, and being late or not coming at all on the day of the moves. Not with this company. They were professional through out the whole moving process. They were on time on everything and answered all my phone calls when ever i called. They made sure that I didn't worry at all on this move. Very fair price and such experienced and professional movers. I'm so glad I finally found the moving company that does exactly what it's supposed to do. read more
