    The couch that was left outside on the curb

    I am reposting this review after it was previously removed due to circumstances unrelated to the accuracy of my experience. I do not recommend Cali Moving and Storage. My move was April 2025. I will keep this review on Yelp forever. I do not want anyone to have to experience what my family and I had to endure dealing with Cali Moving and Storage. I arranged with their office to move all heavy items and anything else that would fit in the truck from my 3-bedroom home. The foreman arrived, exaggerated the job by claiming I had "250 boxes," then called the office speaking in another language. I didn't understand it, but I clearly heard "250" again. They brought a small truck and loaded lighter items first, ignoring priority furniture. While they did take my freezer, couch, and dresser, they left dozens of bins, two kitchen chairs, and other items behind. At the new home, they refused to move items upstairs, saying they were too big and left the couch and freezer on the curb. I yelled from the balcony, "you cant just leave them on the street!!" They shrugged their shoulders and then pushed them into my parking space, where they sat until I found another mover. That night, my husband moved all boxes that were left in the old house by himself. The next day, Sullivan Moving & Storage, a truly professional company, completed the job in minutes. 5 guys all in their 70's moved the freezer and my couch upstairs off the car port; my bedroom dresser was taken out of the middle of my living room and taken upstairs into the bedroom where it rightfully belonged. I truly believe we were dealing with very inexperienced movers that really did not know how to bring those items upstairs and made excuses that they were too big and too tall to make the corners of the stairs. Cali offered a $100 refund, which was actually just my original deposit that was already owed back to me. The office personnel were rude and argumentive; they even attempted to pay me to remove this review, which I declined. This experience cost us time, money, and stress. Choose a professional mover like Sullivan.

    Recently hired Cali Moving and Storage for my move from North Park to Encanto in San Diego. My move went smooth and easy, guys did a really great job. My friend recommended me Cali Moving he used their services several times so I decided to give it a try.I am glad I did. The crew was fast, hardworking, experienced and true professionals. Special thanks to Dave and Rus who made all of this happened. Highly recommended.

    If I could leave zero starts I would! Movers extremely rude and unprofessional. Call center isn't very helpful or clear on what is and isn't included. Don't waste your time with this unprofessional company that won't refund you for a service that wasn't even provided!!!!

    My Receipt with their card, since the owner wants to act like we're not customers of theirs.

    The movers scammed us out of about $1,000. I tried calling the company to give them the opportunity to fix it and I never heard back from management. The movers started wrapping everything with their seran wrap without our consent. We thought their company made them do this for liability purposes. Because they wrapped everything, they took 8.5 hours to load and unload our 2 bedroom apartment. We're experienced movers and we had everything ready to go. Our moves have never been more than 4 hours and we even reserved a large loading elevator that should have been completely loaded up for each trip and instead they put whatever was on their dolly down each time. Unfortunately there was also a language barrier so we were unable to properly communicate with them. At the end of the move we were charged $200 for materials, which was the wrap we never asked for. We actually have a text saying we only needed our two mirrors and tvs covered. And because it took them so long to move we also had to pay for an extra 4 hours with a credit card which added an extra $250 on top of the $200 materials and 4 extra hours. The movers also ended their move at 5 pm we waited 15-20 minutes for them to come back for payment and they tacked on an extra 30 min for the time it took for them to come back for payment. I feel completely violated by this experience, scamming us and stealing our money in our own home. I am now struggling financially because of this and on top of that it put us in an uncomfortable situation which has really messed with me mentally and emotionally. I will have to report this company if I never hear anything back, I will also update this review if things are made right. Spending $1500 to move a 2 bedroom apartment one mile up the road is absolutely disgusting and not receiving a call back from management tells me that this company is a complete scam. Also we gave them a card over the phone and they asked for us to write down our credit card on their paperwork which felt wrong. I don't like writing our card info down and we were never told that we would need to. Edit: I had a very unpleasant call with Michael/Mikhail I voiced how upset I was by the whole situation, I am an experienced move with my last one being 6 months ago and I have never had to deal with someone who shamelessly lies and steals from people. He said we received an email with the fees of plastic wrap which is not true. He also said that I should have been telling his professionals what to do during the move. He told me I should have been following them and making sure they were making good use of their time. I would have rather moved the items myself than follow professionals around telling them how to do their job or not to scam us. He threatened to bring the two movers to our apartment along with him and cops. He told me there was no way for his movers to know how long it would take before the end of the move resulting in not knowing how much it was going to cost but somehow he expected us to go back to the bank mid move to pull out more cash to pay with the discounted cash price. Anyway I'm going to work on reporting this company, please learn from our mistake in trusting this company. It doesn't seem like the first time they have threatened people over bad reviews.

    Moved to Northern California and it was a breeze. The movers showed up on time. Standard move. Nothing special about the delivery service.

The facility itself is immaculate & ultra-safe! Very easy to access all units!

    Before I explain why I do NOT recommend this storage facility, let me unequivocally state that the…read moreemployees are super nice and helpful. When you read the reviews, this becomes a self evident truth. Sadly, this is not enough when safety and security of your valuables is paramount. This facility has water intrusion issues caused by off-site water drainage problems. On or about the May 2025 Memorial Day weekend, SecureSpace Self Storage experienced a massive water intrusion incident. Literally dozens of units on the first and second floors were partially or completely flooded. Boxes, furniture and anything stored in the units was variously soaked and damaged. I personally lost a very old and sentimental CD collection of stored in multiple cardboard boxes on laid on the concrete floor. It appears that drainage from up grade (I.e., off-site) entered the storage facility somewhere on the second floor via outside wall. From various accounts it seems that periodic flooding is an issue for the County of San Diego in this area. This storage facility is located towards the bottom of a fairly steep Storm water runoff and drainage system. It is unclear whether the intrusion was a poor a design issue or a maintenance problem. SecureSpace emphatically claims it is not their fault. This is probably true but they still own and profit from renting hundreds of high end, air conditioned units. Drainage mitigation is part of a good site civil design plan and typically required by San Diego County authorities (i.e., permitting process.) Clearly, SOMETHING failed and many of us SecureSpace tenants were told to file insurance claims. If you don't already know, insurance adjusters rarely make you whole even with receipts, appraisals, etc. Bottom line, AVOID the first floor of this facility at a minimum. Be aware that poor design and/or maintenance may jeopardize your valuables. It's really unfortunate because this place is NOT cheap nor is it in a bad neighborhood. However, there appears to be site civil design and/or storm water mitigation issues that weren't properly planned or later resolved. Do your own due diligence and ask yourself if the risk is worth the price. I was planning on storing a lifetime of valuables for long-term safekeeping while on a foreign deployment. I will take my business elsewhere because I don't need this kind of headache or perpetual worry.
