Great move - ezpz. They showed up and wrapped everything and were careful with everything. Price was between half and 2/3rds of other companies. Yefre and Erik were great, friendly and professional. It took just 3 hours to do my 2 bed apartment. Cost of renting a truck would have been almost as much as this full service, so it was an easy decision. Thank you! read more

Just completed a move from LA to Bay Area with Bay - LA Express Moving and it was smooth as can be. Our movers, Eddie and Yefre, packed up my apt, moving everything to the truck in lightning speed. They even wrapped and moved some bulky furniture pieces like a glass table and bookcase. The loading onto the truck took approx. an hour. Then they drove up and delivered to my new place the very next evening. Service was speedy and problem free. Communication was consistent. Highly recommend and would def use their service again if I made another move back south. read more

Easiest move I've ever had. It was a tiny move - two big chairs, matching ottomans, and book shelf - from Bay Area to LA and the price was totally reasonable. The whole crew was friendly and diligent and really fast. They were communicative and professional and the whole process was so smooth. I'd use them again in a heart beat. read more

We started planning our move from San Francisco to LA about a month out and sent out 5 quote requests. Speaking with Mo it seemed a little less formal than other companies initially, but this team is awesome. First, we did a What's App virtual tour through our apartment so that we could get as close to an accurate estimate as possible and help them to figure out logistics. We were quoted a min and max range, which seemed too good to be true because they default to next day delivery and the price came in well under other companies (others quoted $2500-$3000 within 6-day delivery; next day $3500-$4000). Leading up to the move Mo was always available for questions and made us feel comfortable with all the details. On the day of the move, someone called us when they were about 20 min out. When they arrived, they did a quick assessment and then started taping up our boxes (we ran out of tape while packing), moving them to the truck, taking the furniture, and moving any last-minute things into wardrobe boxes (their own reusable ones). They charge per hour for the labor on top of the trucking flat fee so you might think they would take their time, but NO this team was moving at super speed! They were all friendly and efficient. In all, it was about 1.5 hours. Granted we boxed up most everything before they came and were moving from a small one-bedroom apartment. The delivery day (the next day) was so smooth. The team of two (including Mo) we careful and friendly. They ended up finishing in just under an hour. To be fair, we did end up putting a lot of things in the garage so it was less maneuvering inside the house. When we got the invoice it was UNDER the estimate and Mo did not bug us about tipping like some other companies do (much appreciated), but we of course did tip! This team more than deserves it for all their hard and earnest work! Everything arrived in good condition; TV and computer monitors included. If you are doing the move from the Bay to LA, Mo and his team are the best. The only thing you have to figure out is how you are going to your destination before your stuff! read more

Mo from Bay-LA Express Moving was great to work with for our move from SF to LA. He was quick to respond with a quote, and made the entire process easy and accommodated all of our needs. The moving guys (Pierre, Fred, Manuel and Eric) were super professional, moved our furniture with great care and were time efficient. Mo gave us a very accurate quote, and we weren't hit with any hidden fees that other moving companies try to spring on you. It was the easiest and least stressful experience! read more

Moved from San Jose to Long Beach with Bay-LA Express Moving and it was an extremely smooth process. My movers very super efficient, fast, polite, and went above and beyond. They wrapped and moved my furniture pieces like engineers :) Mo was friendly and personable. I wish he was a bit more responsive in the beginning. Their rate is really fair. Overall, super great experience. Thank you. read more

Mo, and the team he's assembled, we're awesome. They moved me from Sunnyvale down to Los Angeles over Labor Day weekend and I could not be happier with the service I received. Mo was friendly and personable from our very first interaction. He offered to do a virtual walkthrough of my house in order to give an accurate range of cost. At the end of the move, the total ended up being on the low end (very low end) of Mo's estimate. As for the movers, they were on time, quick, careful, and friendly. They communicated with me every step of the way. I highly recommend Mo and his company!! read more

We just completed a move from SoCal to NorCal, including a whole POD move from the East Bay with Mo and his team. ... and though I hope not to move again for some time, if I do, I will DEFINITELY GIVE Mo a call! From start to finish, the whole process was professional, caring, and spot-on with communication. We are deeply grateful for the care and support Mo, and his team offered. The packers, movers, and delivery teams are top-notch! Shout out to Fred and Pierre! Thank you~ read more

Such a great experience with Mo and his friendly team! From getting my extremely reasonable quote to the delivery of my boxes and furniture, everything was smooth sailing. He and Ivan were always quick to reply to my questions and update any information. His team wore masks the entire time and was very gentle with my items, while also being skilled at wrapping delicate items with care. I appreciated how upfront Mo was with the cost range and reasoning as to why it may be higher or lower. Highly recommend Mo and his team for a move from the Bay Area to LA! read more

We needed movers in a hurry to help load up our pod for a cross-country move. We were worried about finding movers with this whole crazy pandemic going on, but Bay - LA Express got back to us right away with a quote, and we were able to book three movers only a day before we needed them. The three movers who came (Rob, Jamie, and Austin) were incredibly efficient, professional, and prepared. They arrived promptly at 7:00am, and had our entire 1400 square foot apartment moved out by 9:00. (I don't think they even stopped for a water break.) Without being told beforehand that they would need it, they came prepared with a mattress bag for our mattress, furniture wrap for all of our furniture, extra tape, and tools. The whole team worked very well together, handled our things with great care, wore masks the whole time, and arranged everything securely to maximize our space in the pod. The team was absolutely worth every penny, and we would happily recommend them to anyone planning a move. read more

We recently moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles and if I ever have to make a long distance move again I will absolutely call Mo and Bay-LA Express. First off dealing with Mo was always easy in a pleasure. He did an initial video walkthrough to give us a quote which was the most competitive quote that we got and we just really enjoyed talking to him and felt like we were going to be well taken care of. Our move logistics changed a bit and he was flexible with us and helped us update the quote and we even did a second video walkthrough to make sure that we had the right size crew coming the day of the move. On the day of the move our six-man crew of Packers were fantastic (Thanks Mo, Jamie, Sam, Nick, Cindy, Chris!) They were efficient and extremely thorough wrapping a furniture and keeping our stuff safe. They worked extremely hard the whole time they were at our house. The next day drop off in Los Angeles was also easy and great (thanks Jamie, Ziggy and Erik!). Again the crew was extremely thorough and cognizant of keeping our stuff safe. They even made a stop at a storage unit to pick up a few extra items and were flexible with this plan. We used a few truck but they will help you truck share with others to reduce cost. I would absolutely use them again! read more

Wow! I am so impressed with their efficient, organized, and clean work. I i'm posting this review because I truly believe they deserve a nice write up, and I hope this helps other people researching movers. They were so fast, polite, and went above and beyond. I had a specific case with in terms of my move from SF to LA which was very time sensitive. Long story short, I was flying from Philadelphia, stopping in San Francisco, then flying to LA the next day. So I really had a small timeslot. Ivan I believe that's his name took my call and helped me create a quote and he was just communicating with me with me prior to the move. He's very professional and will call you back right away!! They did everything they could to accommodate me. To be honest I'm always very skeptical about hiring movers. I've heard so many horror stories. So I'm just here for real to let you know that these guys know what they're doing. Jose was the main guy helping from the pickup and the drop off and he was so amazing. I forgot the other guys name but he was amazing as well. Jose was fast, hard-working, friendly, and very nice. He communicates very well. And I'm definitely going to hire them again the next time I move. I spent so many hours and days researching movers getting quotes, and they were so affordable compared to others. Thank you guys SO much !!! read more

Just had a move completed today. I worked with Mo over the phone and email, who, while not always at the phone, always returned my call and assured me of everything regarding the move. Pricing for me couldn't be beat since the logistics worked out well to have another move happening the same day. I saved at least $500 because of this. Movers came and were polite and efficient. There was a hiccup in that they needed to run to the hardware store (off the clock), but otherwise they took care of everything. Next day, they showed up in LA bright and early. They quickly dropped everything off and reassembled some stuff. Couldn't be happier with the process. Would totally recommend this company (and if I need to go back to the Bay, I would use them again). read more

I hired Bay-LA Express Movers for a move from the Bay Area to LA. Mo got back to me immediately and was absolutely phenomenal in every way. We did a virtual walk-through of my house, which included a very heavy set of weights, and Mo immediately gave me a super reasonable quote and offered tons of flexibility on when I could hire them in the next couple weeks. Mo couldn't have been more responsive to every concern I had, and it was by far the best moving experience in my life. The day of the move, Mike and Jamie showed up right on time and carefully wrapped and loaded my stuff. These guys are AWESOME. Super friendly, super efficient, hard working dudes who never even stopped for a water break. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience, and they did a phenomenal job loading a lot of super heavy stuff -- including the aforementioned weights, which added up to about a thousand pounds by themselves. I then drove down to LA and the truck arrived the next morning. Mo himself was on scene with four movers, who again did a phenomenal job quickly and efficiently unloading my stuff and placing it around my house. They did fantastic work, and I couldn't have asked for better. When it turned out a small bag of inexpensive bathroom stuff had been left in the truck, Mo had it delivered to my door immediately. Just phenomenal work all around, and a great experience. I strongly, strongly recommend these awesome guys. read more

Bay - LA Express Moving - Movers Near Me - San Francisco, California

From the start of the entire moving experience, Mo and his crew were incredibly friendly, accommodating, and helpful. Especially moving during the whole COVID-19 madness, Mo was very communicative throughout the process and made sure to answer any questions/requests I had in a timely manner. Before the finalized quote, we did a video-conference call where the number of items and space I was moving from could be properly assessed for accurate and fair pricing. The day before the actual move, Mo checked in again to ensure there were no big changes to account for on my end for my move from LA to SF. On the actual day of the move, Mo and his crew arrived on time and came prepared with the necessary moving materials to ensure my larger/fragile items would be protected en route. All of my furniture/TV/wardrobe boxes arrived in great condition, and were handled with care both in loading up the truck and unloading at my new place. If I ever need to make the move back to LA, I'd definitely give these guys a call again! Great customer service + good people = two thumbs up. read more

We used Bay-LA for a quick move across San Francisco and then for a move down to Los Angeles a few weeks later. Mo was very easy to work with and he was quick to respond on email/phone/text as we worked through the details of our move. Both for the short and for the longer move we enjoyed working with Mo and all of the details were set up without any problems. The movers that Mo uses were also great and took good care with all of our furniture and boxes. We have a few really heavy pieces and his teams were able to move them without a problem or any damage to the furniture or floors/walls on either end. We had a little extra time on the unpacking side and Mo and his guys put some of our furniture back together for us which was great. Overall we had two painless moves with Mo and we would use him again if/when we move back up to San Francisco. read more

I moved from the Bay to LA the day before thanksgiving. I was worried about the bait and switch or them not even showing up. I was wrong on both. The guys were on time, fast at loading and unloading my thing. Would recommend to anyone who needs movers. read more

I recently moved my student apartment furniture and other household stuff from Long Beach to Cupertino. Mo was very quick in helping us providing accurate estimate by virtual view of the apartment and planning the move. The pickup guys were so helpful and hard working. They demonstrated how much they value customer's needs before anything else. Cannot appreciate enough the help Mo and his company provided us, while making this move stress free. I would very highly recommend this company for your moving needs. Rest assured, Mo and his kind, hard working and efficient team will be there to provide you the best moving experience of your life. Thank you Mo and team, you are the best !! read more

If you need a reliable, efficient and economical moving company in the bay or LA, look no further. This is it, Mo and co. are the real deal. I used Bay-LA for a move from SF to Venice Beach in May 2021, a move that included couriering a load of precious antique furniture up a walk street in Venice Beach. Everything, and I really mean everything, arrived intact and on time. The team completely exceeded my expectations and to my delight the quoted estimate for the job was accurate for what I paid in the end, though the walk street scenario was something I realized (to my horror) as an unexpected plot twist and unavoidable reality of the destination, when I arrived the night before the movers. Amazingly the team was able to unload all my things in under two hours! If I need to move again, I'll surely reach out to Bay-LA. read more

Good communication, courteous and timely. Loading and unloading was very efficient and with in the estimated time given by Mo. Excellent moving job. read more

We used Mo and his team last year during the crazy pandemic with many unknown factors potentially affecting our move. Mo however was very calm, professional, and made the move as easy as it could've been! They did an amazing job of packing everything with care so nothing would break or damage during the move, I've never seen so much attention to detail in my life! The team was also really positive and Mo was fun to work with. Despite all of the unknowns, our move from San Francisco to the South Bay was successful with very little stress, thanks to Mo and his team! read more

Operating during COVID with extra precautions in place. Had a really positive experience with these guys from beginning to end and highly recommend them, especially if you are looking to move during the pandemic. We normally use Two Men and a Truck but I had gotten a quote from them months before moving and they ended up telling me a month before our move date that they misquoted and the price would be DOUBLE. So I came on Yelp and picked a bunch of movers to get quotes. Bay-LA was one of many that got back to me. I like to think I'm a pretty good judge of people even if it's only over the phone and I just got a really good feeling about Mo from the beginning. He was more than happy to accommodate the fact that I was pregnant and had a toddler so did a virtual tour to quote instead of in person. This was huge to me given that I didn't want strangers in my house because of COVID. We coordinated a time and did a video call. He was extremely thorough and at the end of the call he gave me a range of low to high with the high being the max he would charge. Mo straight up said he'd rather over quote and come in lower than to come back and say it'll cost more so that made me feel really good it wasn't going to be another bait and switch situation. His quote wasn't the lowest but the fact he had integrity and took these things into account made me want to hire him. My husband got a good vibe as well so we didn't bother with the remaining movers after that because we knew Mo was our guy. Because of COVID and an increase in cases two weeks before our move, I had to cancel having movers come help us pack. Again, Mo was super accommodating and said since it's more than a week notice he had no problems and didn't need to charge extra money. I also ended up having to push back our move date because the new place wasn't ready by month end and he was able to accommodate that as well. Of course I did my best to reach out as soon as there was a change in circumstance but it was really nice Mo was always very understanding and never made me feel bad. Moving is stressful enough. It was so nice to work with a mover who was willing to be flexible to help make things work for us. On moving day, I got a call when they were 30min away. Once they arrived, I gave each mover a disposable mask and everyone was cool wearing it instead of their own after my husband told them I was pregnant and we needed to be extra cautious. My only complaint was one mover took the mask off her nose and only covered her mouth. But once we brought that to the attention of the guy in charge, it was fixed and there were no issues. Everyone was very professional and super nice. We also had to have them make a second stop to pick up additional items and they were able to get everything done that day. Move was to SoCal so all our stuff got delivered the next morning. Again, they called when they were 30min away to give us a heads up. We ended up needing them to move some existing furniture to make space for our stuff and everyone was super cool and accommodating. They worked their asses off and we made sure to not only tip them well but bought them lunch as a thank you. Some small things got lost and there were a few hiccups but nothing beyond what normally happens with every moving company no matter who you go with. Overall, I highly recommend these guys. They all had a really good attitude the entire time and were very professional. I really liked how they worked together to problem solved and no one slacked off. If you do use these guys, please be generous with the tipping. They really do work their ass off! read more

Mo did a small local move for us in Santa Monica, he prides himself on professionalism and quality of work. Every item was wrapped carefully and uniquely to ensure no damage occurred during the moving process. If you have treasured pieces, large furniture, a big move or simply want to put the stress of moving on hands you can trust I highly recommend Bay LA express. I've moved and witnessed enough moves where things did not looked well taken care of on the load up. You're definitely working with professionals when you work with Mo and his team. read more

I started out my search for a moving company to move me from Larkspur (north of SF), to Lake Arrowhead, in the mountains below Big Bear. I read Yelp reviews and got 3 quotes, one was from Bay-LA Express. Mo did an estimate on a video call and I chose them (they were 1/2 the price of the others). They were ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. I packed all of my own belongings. They were on time, communicative, wore masks, 4 guys came and wrapped my furniture and I was loaded in 3-1/2 hours! They arrived the next day around 4pm, and unloaded in about 2-1/2 hours. NOT ONE THING WAS BROKEN, they put the beds back together (one IKEA bed was a nightmare), and were on the road back to the Bay Area in no time. They were terrific guys, very kind and considerate. Everyone was very friendly and they appreciated the Gatorade, water and snacks I provided them. read more

I just moved down to LA from San Francisco this week, during all the COVID madness, and Mo's team did a great job. They arrived promptly, and a crew of 4-6, wearing masks, arrived promptly and within 2 hours had everything packed up and whisked away. They showed up right at 8am the next morning and moved it all, again, safely and quickly. Not a single item was broken or damaged, and everyone in the crew was friendly and competent. They even, for a very reasonable price, added some time on to help me assemble a couple extra pieces of furniture. And the rate for everything was significantly cheaper than any other quotes I received. Great team; highly recommend. read more

Oh my goodness Mo was the kindest man and easiest person to work with I have ever met! Right after my dad died, the friend who had been renting his condo short-term was getting married and found her friend to take over the lease. Our new tenant didn't want to live with my dad's furniture, so she found Mo and had him put it all into storage. Finally I was able to make room in my garage, and far enough along in my grieving to ask Mo to deliver Dad's things to my home down on the Peninsula, which he did so graciously and carefully. Wish I could hire movers all the time just so I could see him again! Bay-LA Express Moving are the absolute best!! read more

Locating a moving service from San Jose area to Southern California during the COVID-19 shelter at home could have been very difficult, but Mo made it easy. He was pleasant and replied quickly to my inquiries. Once we committed to working together, he kept in contact and made sure I knew what to expect. The actual move was one of the best I've experienced. He was on time, his estimate was accurate, and most importantly, everything arrived in perfect condition. He was a pleasure to work with as were his team. read more

What an efficient, reasonable and pleasant company to work with. From Mo and Ivan in the office to Aaron, the crew leader and all the crew. They were polite, friendly and professional. Highly recommend! read more

I can't speak highly enough about Mo and his team! Not only did they agree to my move one day before the move was needed, but they were so kind, diligent and careful throughout the moving process. It was no easy move, I live on the top floor of a third story building without an elevator! I would without a doubt hire Mo and his team again. Thank you again for everything, Mo! read more

I own a printing company and was looking for a moving company to pick up and deliver a very large paper cutter. Mo was referred to me by a local rental company. Mo was reliable, dependable and on time. He handled everything from the pick up to delivering the large paper cutter into my office. The move process went smoothly and as planned. I would definitely be using Mo again on future moves and I highly recommend him. read more

These guys were seriously so great. They were respectful, careful, prompt, and stuck within the budget they quoted me for the move. I can't recommend them enough! read more

We recently moved from Los Angeles to San Francisco and had an absolutely terrific experience with Mo and his team. Although long-distance moves can be stressful (particularly during covid), our experience was nothing but positive with these guys. Mo is highly responsive and dependable, returning all calls, texts, and emails promptly. To allow for a more accurate moving estimate, he suggested a virtual tour of our place beforehand, which was incredibly helpful. On moving day, the entire crew was professional, efficient, friendly, and great to interact with all-around. I also appreciated the detailed documentation provided at each stage of the process. I strongly recommend this company to anyone who wants a smooth, worry-free move. read more

If you are looking for THE BEST movers in town, look no further. Seriously, Mo and his team are the absolute best. Mo responds to every question in detail, gives you specific breakdowns on pricing, etc., has impeccable follow through and is simply a pleasure to work with. I like working with hard working and honest people and Mo is exemplary. I moved from SF to LA and they made it easy. Thank you!! read more

AMAZING! Mo and his team did a fantastic job. Everything from the quote, customer service -calls/check ins, confirmation, prepping, packing and wrapping of furniture, loading/ unloading, and cost are unparalleled. I booked everything with Mo (who was extremely communicative, reliable, and trustworthy) - and the experience was like having a caring friend/family member helping us out. I was surprised when they met us in LA and professionally moved ALL of our belongings into our new place in under 45 minutes!! This was by far my best moving experience (and have 5+ times). It would honestly be a mistake to pass up using Bay-LA Express - look no further! read more

We have moved 8 times in the past 11 years and every time, we had to get movers. I have never taken the time to review any of them but these people deserve my compliments. Mo was exceptionally helpful and gave me the options for an economical move from Bay Area to LA and coordinated the timing perfectly. I got the driver details on the morning of and Gkar called me when he way on his way. They finished loading everything up in record time. They were scheduled to deliver the next day and again, they were right on time. No broken or lost items. All of our stuff showed up in perfect condition and they put everything in place. I would definitely recommend this team for any Long Distance move. They're professional and easy to work with. read more

Bay-LA Express helped us move from San Leandro to LA and we were so incredibly impressed and grateful for their services. Mo and his team were so helpful and responsive from the very beginning -- from the quote stage to the actual move. The team who loaded and unloaded the truck were incredible and did everything so quickly, but also very carefully. Nothing broke along the way. Our experience was fantastic. read more

This company made what seemed like a massive and difficult move a literal breeze for me! Mo and his team are very responsive, totally trustworthy, and provide their excellent services at a great price. I cannot thank them enough and I highly recommend Bay LA Express! read more

Mo and his team recently did my move from the Bay Area to LA. I can't recommend this company enough. Throughout the entire process, Mo was responsive and performed a virtual walk through of the apartment in advance to provide a quote. On moving day, he and his team carefully and seamlessly packed our belongings. One thing I never thought I needed in a mover was calm (largely because I am so not calm when moving). Mo and his team were not only super calm, but also incredibly friendly and worked cohesively. In LA, the process could not have moved more quickly. Jaime and two local guys immediately started unloading the truck, and they were willing to move and re-move furniture. Nothing was damaged or missing. All and all, the experience was A++++. Added bonus amidst COVID19 - the team wore masks the entire time, came with hand sanitizer. They were clearly cognizant of space and safety. Thank you!!!! read more

Bay - LA Express Moving - Movers Near Me - San Francisco, California

I most highly recommend Mo and his crew. They are super nice, perfectly on time, and incredibly fast. Most importantly, they treated our belongings with much care - very different from what I have experienced with past movers. Everything arrived well and happy. They helped us with two small moves, and were super flexible, making the most of the time we hired them for. They also helped take apart and put together furniture, and are clearly professionals at doing so. Seriously - hire them. They are awesome. read more

Best moving experience ever! My move was on the smaller side (15-20 boxes) but still difficult to rent a UHaul and do myself. Enter Bay-LA. They were extremely responsive, trustworthy and professional. They went above and beyond every step of the way: 1) Their e-mail/phone communication is excellent. Mo and Jason are friendly and efficient. After I reserved a time slot, they called to inform me that another customer might be moving the same day, so they could do the move together to help me save money. Eventually the other customer decided on another date, but that didn't deter Mo. He continued to see what he could do to help me lower my costs on a small move. Even though I would have happily paid original agreed-on amount (and he knew that), Mo worked out a plan to save me some more money by taking my stuff to their warehouse first and sending it out with another move the following day. The fact they spent extra time and did extra work just to save me money, is EXCEPTIONAL in my book. 2) The Pickup: James arrived at our storage unit on time and loaded quickly but carefully. My husband had heavy, fragile electronics and I had a few paintings that could have been carried as is, but James wrapped all of them without us asking. Thanks James! 3) The Move: When our cargo arrived in LA, my parents were the ones to receive them. I was a little worried since I wouldn't be there, but Mo gave the driver my mom's cell phone number so he could text her their ETA, which he did. Lemmar and Kana delivered quickly and professionally. When I got to LA, my parents told me, "They were very nice. They did a good job." (Coming from the most perfectionist Asian parents with super high expectations... Be proud, Bay-LA.) Mo reported the driver had mentioned, "Your parents were very sweet." Now that's personal and heartfelt service. Thanks Lemmar & Kana! 4) The Follow-up: Mo wrote me an email following up and making sure all was good. My boxes were perfect and nothing was broken. Throughout the whole process, Mo was in constant communication with me. I never felt like I dropped through the cracks because of my smaller move. Thanks Bay-LA Express Moving for a worry-free and highly professional experience from beginning to end. read more
