My daughter needed to move from her LA apartment to another - We hired Best Move and then explained that some items needed to go to the new place, and some needed to go into storage. It was all very tight with a big truck, two stops, but they did a GREAT job and not a complaint out of them! Friendly as can be! So when we moved from our home in Newport Beach to Anaheim Hills we asked if Best Move could do the job even though we were in Orange County. They made an exception and drove down to move us. They were friendly, fast, careful, and to top it off, managed to get that huge truck up a very narrow, curvy road and turn around in a small cul-de-sac. Again, no complaints, couldn't have been more helpful. I've moved a lot and there was always "something" with the other moving companies, but not a single issue with Best Move. I highly recommend you call Lyn Maher for all your moving needs! read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMANY! SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM! If i could give this company -5 stars i would! The price jumped up 3x we were originally quoted when the movers got there. Took 3 weeks to get only a PORTION of our stuff. The rest is just lost including a one of one painting. Not to mention the countless broken dishes that were SHATTERED. Oh and they lost my BED. No where to sleep now, and they aren't doing anything about any of it. NEVER USE THIS COMPANY AND SPREAD THE WORD. THEY ARE CRIMINALS. WORST COMPANY I'VE EVER DEALT WITH. read more

AWESOME moving experience! Very professional! Fast paced, showed on time, and no hidden fees! Highly recommend! Thank you! read more

Best Move - Very professional! The movers worked their bootys off! Highly recommend ! No hidden fees! Would use again! Thank you! - Movers Near Me - Newbury Park, California

This company is a scam. I purchased a puppy from someone and they used this company supposedly to ship the dog to me. Well the morning of the delivery I go to track my delivery and was told I needed to rent a carrier for the animal to be transported. Cost $500. Said it would be refunded at time of delivery. Ten minutes later I was told that I needed to pay for a certificate of insurance. Cost $700 that would also be refunded upon delivery. They wanted the money sent through Zelle. When they sent the info it was not in the business name but a person's email. When asked why not the business info was told that it was one of their agents and then got rude and said just send the money. I refused. read more

do not use this company for long distance move. I recently used them and from the beginning it was an awful experience. I was given one quote and when they showed up I got a different price of $1000 more. I reached out to a contact that the mover had given me and when he got on the phone, he was rude combative and very unprofessional. I needed to be out of my house by that day, so I agreed to pay the additional fee.. Once they finally arrived in Pennsylvania, they sent one man to unload the truck which I could not believe so I ended up helping him unload boxes from the truck and a huge king size mattress that took 45 minutes to get up the stairs, it took us about four hours to unload when I called my contact Alexandra she never responded. Nobody from Best Move relocation has responded in addition to me having to move my own things one of the pieces of furniture was broken. This was my experience. I would never recommend them. I would never use them again and don't expect to ever get a call back. Should you need anything read more

I moved across the country and trusted this company with everything I own. In the initial phone call, Alexandra promised delivery within 3-5 days of pick-up. After that came and went, she then stated it was 3-5 days from pickup from the warehouse. It has now been well over a month, and I still have no idea where my belongings are or when they'll arrive. Every time I reach out, I get vague, evasive answers, if I get a response at all. I've been living in a new city with nothing but a suitcase, waiting on furniture, kitchen essentials, and sentimental items I may never see again. What should have been an exciting new chapter has turned into a constant source of stress and anxiety. This company has been completely unreliable and uncommunicative. Do not make the same mistake I did. If you value peace of mind or just want your things to actually arrive look elsewhere. read more

I had to move my parents on short notice to as assisted living facility in Ventura. I called Lyn on a Monday, because he came highly recommended by a friend, and that day he gave me an estimate over the phone. It was super reasonable, clear, and complete, with no hidden fees or last minute additions to the cost. Friday morning Gary and Michael showed up bright and early and had the move made within 2 1/2 hours . They thoroughly wrapped every single piece of furniture and were careful and cheerful and hard working and made the move incredibly smooth. What could have been such a stressful day was actually relaxed and calm and a true blessing to my parents and I. Thank you Best Move!!!! Couldn't have asked for a better moving company. read more

Keep up with the Best Move NP.CALIF.91320 MS.EmilyroseT. Thanks for always coming through, being punctual, reliable, careful with all respect to Jesse Mitchell for the E~Harmony hook ups! read more

Great movers! Communicated clearly through the process, friendly and on time and took good care of my belongings as if they were packing and loading their own things into the moving trailer. I'm tact, didn't have straps required for the ABF trailer they loaded for me and during their lunch break, they drove to Uhaul and bought them for me since I had no luck finding what I needed at the local hardware store. I reimbursed them of course but had they not gone out of their way to help me on loading day like that my things may not have made it in one piece and without any damage after the trek out of state to my new home as things shift in that huge moving trailer I'm transit. Very grateful for them. I definitely recommend their services. read more

This company does not return calls after doing business with them. They left materials at my house. After numerous attempts, no replies read more

EDIT: in response to Lyn -- it doesn't matter whether they "intended" to harm anyone. Being negligent when you're operating dangerous machinery is inexcusable. I hope you wouldn't be defending them if they did cause an accident that killed somebody. We were simply lucky that that didn't happen to us. DO BETTER!! Not for their services but for their drivers. While merging into the 101 their driver intentionally sped up to pass us even though we were in a merging lane and they were in a full ass semi. If we hadn't swerved into the pull off area we would have been completely decimated. Hire better drivers. Completely unacceptable. read more

I was on a time crushed with moving from Ventura to El Cajon since another moving company was not on their p's and q's and I was left to find someone else at the last minute. By some miracle Best Move had an availability and got me in. Both gentleman whom helped me was on time, got moving and packed up in under 3 hours for a 1/1 and storage pickup. Unpacking and setup in about 1 1/2 hours. Nothing was damaged and they placed all furniture where I wanted them. Pricing was very reasonable. Thank you guys for the awesome service. read more

Huge thanks to the guys that moved me and my daughter from Bakersfield to Newbury Park. They arrived on time and were kind and patient while waiting on direction with where to place our things when unloading. They assembled and placed furniture fast. Great choice! read more

Do not recommend these movers at all. Lousy job. Lazy, rude, unprepared. Did not have enough packing to protect our furniture. Damaged our stuff. Did not bring enough floor protecting or shoe protectors. Did not care at all about our stuff. Pay a little extra and get a decent company. Nice try on your message. You absolutely were the moving company and we are not in SF. March 21. In your books. read more

Let's face it moving is rarely fun...I mean who wants to move box after box after box and then loads of heavy furniture. Well if you're like me, I don't! This is the first time we considered hiring movers (and I've moved several times in my days)! I called around and got several quotes and decided on Best Move and couldn't have been happier. The most accommodating company around. From the moment I called and spoke to Lynn, to the day of moving, everything was seamless on their part (dispute some hiccups on our end), If you're considering hiring movers....BEST MOVE is the BEST decision you can make!!!!! read more

I have used them a handful of times and outside damage to a bookshelf (inexpensive), I have had nothing but positive experiences. Friendly, prompt, courteous, professional, organized, judicious, and very efficient with time! They are the opposite of local movers Jim's Moving Service. Best Move moved my stuff in about 2.5 hours (one bedroom and I'm a minimalist). Jim's took 4 hours for the same stuff and vicinity. read more

Very professional. They showed up on time for my 2 different moves. No hidden charges. Very quick, efficient, and courteous. I highly recommend them for any move, big or small. I would definitely use them again read more

Did not have a great experience with this company. While the owner seemed nice, and 2/3 guys were nice when they showed up to help us move, the day was kind of a disaster. It took literally ALL DAY to move us from one small condo into another. Then, we happened to stop by the old house after they were gone, just to do a double check. Literally sooooo much stuff was left behind it was insane. Stuff we would have clearly wanted, and had previously told them to take. An antique clock, our vacuum cleaner, a computer, art we'd asked them to pack, among other things. When we tried to contact the owners after the move about some of our concerns, all of our calls were totally ignored. Overall, would not recommend. They took way longer moving a smaller house then our previous moving company did moving a much larger house, and we paid a lot more for lower quality service. Thumbs down. read more

I had a so-so experience with Best Move. I found them online and with Yelp so I decided to give them a shot on my move from Camarillo to Woodland Hills (~35 miles). My overall review is that Best Move provides a decent rate but shows signs of a small business with coordination and planning issues. I called about a month ahead of time and setup my move date for 8 AM on a Saturday morning. I called and verified a couple days before the move date and everything was confirmed. However, on Saturday, I got a call that the truck wouldn't start and my move would be delayed. I wound up waiting for 4 hrs till past noon while they tried to wrangle their mechanic to fix the truck. I got 2 update calls but overall, I wasn't very happy. I later learned that the mechanic had made repairs to the truck the prior day and had not reconnected everything properly. So then, the 2 guy team shows up and I see that they brought a massive truck trailer, what you normally use to pack a house, not my small 2 br apt worth of stuff. Overall, it just seems silly they sent such a big truck for me, especially since he caused delays when other people wanted to leave and the rig was in the way. To top it off, the truck was missing dollys and other rolling devices to help expediate the moving process. On a side note, they also did not have the TV packing equipment promised on the webpage. So, the process of moving my already packed boxes probably took an extra hour as the guys got tired from lifting all the equipment and bringing it into the inner part of the rig. In the end, my stuff took up about 30% of the trailer. I told the guys to stop off at their place and make sure to pick up their dollys and carts before heading onto my new apt. The unpacking process went fairly smoothly except as one would expect, the sun went down ~5 PM and everybody works slower at night. The movers had to use flashlights to see inside the massive rig and unpacking took about 3 hrs, this time with carts and dollys. Overall, the process was 4 hrs pack, 3 hrs unpack, and 1 hr driveback time. So, overall 8 hrs at $89/hr for what was probably a 5-6 hr job. Overall, the moving guys were fine and worked hard. But to a certain degree, I don't think I should own the lack of planning on the company's part. My major complaints in planning include: 1)correct truck for size of job 2)dollys, carts, and packing equipment to expediate the job 3)maintenance planning and being on time. I'll look elsewhere next time for my moving needs. read more

They moved our family from a two storey 4 bedroom house in Thousand Oaks where we had lived for 10 years, to a house of equal size in south Orange County. I got quotes from three different companies. Best Move was the lowest, but they also made the whole experience a lot easier on all of us in the way they proposed to organize the move. At their suggestion, they emptied our house and packed the entire truck on a Friday, and then arranged to meet us at the new house first thing Saturday morning to break up the physical labor into two days. That did not change the price, and it made it very manageable for their team and for us. Packing and unpacking an entire house in one day would be exhausting, and that's probably when things get broken, when everyone gets over-tired. Our friends who moved around the same time used Meathead as they liked the salesman and the sound of that service, but they said the student movers got tired and a little sloppy as the day went on. Our guys were big, burly and efficient. They did a good job and the final bill they gave me was about $150 less than their original quote to me. You can't beat that! Their price was also about a third of what Meathead had quoted me. I liked the Meathead sales-guy too, but not that much. And he did not plan to break up the move over two days. There was only one loss as one of the wheels to our bed seemed to be missing and could not be found. They apologized, suggested I pick one up at a bed store which should be inexpensive, and left me with a brick to support that part of the bed. The brick is still there! It's doing the job and I had forgotten about it until I sat down to write this. I found Best Move as a friend had referred me who had used them to move her family and her parents and both had a good experience. Best Move also has an excellent carpet cleaning service. I used them for that, too. Cream colored carpet on my stairs came up amazingly well. Never thought they could look like that again. read more

I can't say enough about my experience with Best Move. From the first call to get an estimate until the movers placed the last piece of furniture- an exceptional experience. Very professional and pleasant. I moved my entire house and outdoor potted plants. After they placed my very heavy potted plants I realized I selected the wrong location for them- no problem they moved them without any issues. On top of the excellent service their bid was 1/3 of the bid from another moving company. I would highly recommend Best Move for your next move. read more

Just used them today for our move. They were amazing! Price was super good and everything was included so no surprises. The 3 guys we had (Ceasar, Jessie, and Moses) were so polite and respectful. They were super careful with our stuff but also very fast and efficient. We had zero complaints and will use them again for sure! Highly recommend them. read more

Great job by Best Move. On time and everything exactly as expected. One truck, four men and reasonable pricing, there were no "Hidden" extras like tape and plastic wrap..etc. The guys were clean, courteous and professional. They understood moving can be stressful and chaotic but were very accommodating moving items on the fly as we changed our minds where things were placed. I have no problem recommending Best Move. Call and ask for Lyn, he will set everything up, and call to confirm. read more

Moving from Denver to this area was a nightmare, but once we got here, Best Movers moved all of our stuff from the Pod into the house and did an AMAZING job! I cannot say enough how quick, professional and decent they were. They are also VERY reasonable priced especially for LA. I will use them again! read more

Simply put........."The Best" Best Moves took what is a very stressful and tense situation, and turned it into a very positive and enjoyable experience. The movers were on time and very kind and caring. They took the time to disassemble and reassemble multiple pieces, and protected and wrapped the ones that needed to be. When asked if they could help rearrange some of the furniture after being brought into the house, they were right there to help. NEVER heard any complaining or negative remarks. Just a great group of guys doing what they do.....making it The Best Move! Jeff - read more

I used BEST MOVE for my recent move from Simi Valley to Mar Vista. I'm not the type of person that writes reviews, but I felt compelled to write one for BEST MOVE because they were fantastic! They carefully wrapped all my furniture, brought bags for all my mattresses, took my flat panel TV off the wall and wrapped it in one of their special TV covers, put it in a special 4 wheeled cart and rolled it out to their truck. They made two extra stops to pick up some items at my Dad's house and my office in Simi Valley and brought it all to my new home in Mar Vista. They showed up on time, keep all the promises they made on the phone, and didn't nickel and dime me for anything! If you're looking for a great family owned Moving and Storage company in Simi Valley, I would highly recommend them!!! read more

Best Move is simply THE BEST MOVING COMPANY out there! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and hardworking. They have personally moved my family several times and every time it went off without a hitch. They always pack and handle our belongings with care. Most importantly, everything always arrived at our new home in the same condition as when it left. Moving can be extremely stressful and Best Move successfully removes that element from the situation! I can't say enough good things about this company and as a REALTOR would recommend them to all of my clients. read more

After 16 years we decided to move from San Fernando Valley to Simi Valley, and a friend recommended Best Move and he assured me that I will get the best price. So, I called around and got two estimates and called Best Move to compare. I was glad to find out that the price I was given over the phone was very reasonable. I booked my move and hoped for the best. Before the moving date, I received an email confirmation from Lyn, followed by a phone call to confirm the move and as promised, they showed up and took care of the move like champs. The guys were very nice, professional and understanding with our needs. They totally made our move the "Best Move" possible. I strongly recommend them for your next move. Thank you Lyn and Gary! read more

I was very pleased from the start with the customer service on the phone with Best Move. They were very responsive and accommodating. The two-man crew that showed up was top notch. They moved my things efficiently, safely, and effectively into my U-pack Relocube. They came well prepared, had a pleasant demeanor, and all of my things arrived safely on the other coast. I found them through Moving Staffers, the company that finds movers to pack your PODs and Relocubes. That combo was the best price I could for a long distance move of a small apartment, and I would recommend and do it that way again! read more

They are really cheap. They got all our stuff there, several items were broken, and when I called them to get the insurance information the owner was very difficult. I was told basically too bad. I noticed some things were broken a few weeks after the fact. When questioned, they admitted they had dropped some things and noticed they were broken. When I asked why they hadn't told me about it they gave no answer other than "you signed away for it..." Overall, it was not a good call to use them. read more

We selected Best Move out of about 5 company's we had quote our move. They definitely had the best pricing scheme and we came in right at our original estimate. We went from 5,000 ft. in Thousand Oaks, to 3,000 ft. in Simi Valley, so we did the move over two days. I hired two men and a 24 ft. truck to move the home gym, house plants and a load of misc. boxes. Frank and Mario were absolutely top notch on this move, arriving on time, and working super hard, super safe and protecting the equipment and house at every turn. Could not have asked for a better crew and finished in 6 hours. The 2nd day we hired 5 men and the large truck to move all the furnishings. Paul lead a great crew of 4 guys who moved some very heavy and large furnishings. they completed the move out and move in right at 10 hours, an amazing job!! It had been 15 years since our last move and I was dreading the physical move more than anything, but Lyn and Gary made the whole process so simple, clean, fairly priced and it went super smooth. On top of all that, it sure felt good to be supporting a local business. Would highly recommend Best Move, and will use them on our next move, hopefully not for awhile...ughh. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. We decided to go with Best Move because we wanted to support a local company. Big mistake. We sold our house very quickly and were moving into an apartment temporarily with only a few things while everything else was going to storage. We hired best move to move our things to our apartment. We had 2 beds, 3 TVs, 3 chairs, a cartable and chairs, 2 dressers, 2 TV stands, and boxes. They sent 3 guys to complete the move and said it would take them about 4 hours, 4.5 at the most. It actually took their guys SEVEN hours and that doesn't include anything being put back together or boxes being put in the correct rooms. It started with one of their guys charging their phone in our house as soon as they showed up. Another guy was constantly texting on his. The guy Tom who was in charge did nothing but stay in the truck barking orders.. which the other two clearly needed because it was as if they had never completed a move before. They had to constantly be told to go get things and bring them out. They were slow, lazy, and incredibly inefficient. They broke a bed frame, ruined a mattress, and lost items somehow along the way. When I called and spoke with Gary during the move to let him know it wasn't going well and the issues I was having, his only solution was to take an hour off the end time-- but he clearly didn't care. At the end of the move I noticed 2 things were missing. I told the guy in charge, Tom, that I wouldn't pay or sign his paper until they were found. He told me "they're your things why don't you look for them" and that "since you want them so bad why don't you go check the truck"-- this is how they interacted with me all day, completely unprofessionally and rude. I tried calling Gary and in a laughing tone Tom told me "He's not going to answer your call".. which he didn't. I left voicemails and still, 5 days later have still not heard back from Gary or Lynn. They clearly are not concerned with customer service or doing a good job-- they hire inefficient, unknowledgeable guys to complete their moves and collect their $$-- no matter the cost to the customer. I have filed a complaint with the BBB and am waiting to hear back regarding that. I would tell anyone considering Best Move to LOOK ELSEWHERE. You may pay a little more somewhere else, but this is definitely a case of you pay for what you get. Avoid Best Move no matter what!!! read more

We used Best Move in September of 2015. I would not recommend this moving company. We had several pieces of furniture damaged and the crew left the furniture improperly set up with missing screws. It was a completely amateur job that took all day and most of the night. These guys were not experienced movers. If you value your time and possessions do not go with this company. Left several messages and an email for owner and have not heard back. An absolutely horrific experience. I only leave this review so others do not have the experience we had. Moving is stressful enough and when you are left with damaged possessions and a big mess that only adds to the stress. read more

Great experience with Best Move. Movers arrived a little early, were friendly and VERY accommodating. Moving time was as expected with all 3 movers working hard. Thank you Moses, Jesse, and Cliff. I would definitely use them again. read more

I used Best Move in February 2016 to move from Thousand Oaks to Camarillo. It was my first big move, so I didn't know what to expect. When I first contacted the owner Lyn, he sounded very nice and professional. The 4 movers were courteous too, though in retrospect, I thought they didn't work efficiently and procrastinated to make the whole move to reach 10 hours. The day after the move, I noticed the piano had scratches and a book shelf had a dent in the front. A dresser's mirror was not set up right. So I complained to Gary, the other owner. He said he would give me discount for next move. Of course I said no, thank you. When I tried to reach him again, he said he'd been too busy and I never heard from him again. Frustrated, I sent an email to Lyn. Opposite to his quick responses previously, he simply ignored my email. read more

Best Movers name was given to me by my new girlfriend "Siri" while driving! Called & spoke with Lyn for a few minutes and knew his people can do our move. It was local Thousand Oaks to Thousand Oaks, everyone's stuff is close to them & wanted it all handled properly . These people performed like they were a well oiled team that loved to work together! Set up to arrive at 8:30, they were early, came in introduced themselves, asked a few questions and started packing the Van with such high energy, they kept the high energy all thee way to the last piece came off the truck and put away. That's 10 1/2 hours of hustle! Already referred them to a friend and will continue to give out their name! Keep up the good work!! read more

Bad experience with Best Move. Do not recommend unless you don't care if they are on time. I called them and had a completely open schedule for them to move a bedroom set from Ventura to Newbury Park. They picked the time that worked for them. They then were 4 hours late. They knew the night before they were going to be late. No call, no notice just a no-show. I called them from the pick up site and at that point they told me that they had overbooked and that they were going to be 4 hours late. It cost me 3 hours of my time and 3 others the same. All they had to do is honor what they agreed to or call and work out another arrangement. They knew the night before they were going to be late... read more

I got 3 quotes for our big move and Best Move was the best price by far. No hidden costs, no fuel charge, etc. Our friends recommended them and I'm sure glad we chose them. Everything went as planned and we had a lot of stuff! The team of 4 movers worked hard, made sure everything was protected and were friendly and helpful from start to finish. I love using local companies and this family-owned business deserves lots of praise. They delivered on everything they promised. Don't hesitate using Best Move! read more
