Update: in response to the owner's ridiculous comment to my original post. You consumers are going to have to make up your own mind. However, if you have a bad experience with this company and write a review the owner might attempt to sue you and when that doesn't work he's going to post comments to your review full of things that are simply untrue. "you're Mexican?" really? Wow. This guy could improve his business by simply moving faster rather than walking a tenth the pace of a normal human being. He and his partner could listen to their clients when they tell them they have a lot of stuff and actually bring a truck big enough to accommodate it. Rather than 3 times brushing her off, saying 'oh, no. our truck will be ok.' Who was charged for the owner's failure to listen to what I was trying to tell him? Me. And now, I am being subjected to harassment simply for trying to give a head's up to other consumers. In my opinion these guys are the worst movers I have ever used for all the reasons listed. I am entitled my opinion. I am protected by free speech. I should be able to write a review without fear of being bullied by threats of lawsuits or harassment. read more

They are NOT A REAL MOVING COMPANY THEY ARE NOT LEGIT. They are frauds. They destroyed many expensive items I own. They are not bonded or licensed and they are doing illegal things. If you are in Orange County or San Diego and want justice, file a complaint with your city and notify the BBB. They are not even on the BBB. They need to be closed down. Word of mouth is key too so keep telling people about how horrible they are and all the things they do: they break items, extend the time to get money, basically lie, and the movers steal items also. Any lawyers who read this should take full advantage of keeping these crooks out of business. In response to the owner - the owner called me to tell me he was coming to my apt the following day to get paid as a threat. They also threatened to call the police because I refused to pay because several items were broken. I told them to please call the police because they would get in trouble and they knew they would so they wouldn't call. It is a scare tactic they use to threaten people when they are breaking the law. I even have video of the movers talking about everything during the move. I told them I would call the police so he backed off. I gave a week notice to get the move done. DO NOT USE!! read more

I believe they set up a system that you call and book and the owner manager Tom I believe hires guys and tells them to rent a u haul truck etc... Takes twice time. They moved my stuff in the living room. Left everything there did not carry them to bedrooms. .. Just a heads up... Red flag. Not reliable not accurate read more

These guys are great and work really fast. I had them move two couches I sold on Craigslist and they did a PB pick up with and Santee drop off and didn't make me tag-a-long or anything. I'm super busy so that was my goal. They were in and out of my second story Apartment in 6 minutes flat. Thanks Guys! read more

High Five to Chargers moving! They did a great job moving me across town! They were fast, friendly, and even went above and beyond to help me fit my furniture into my new place. My couch wouldn't fit through the front door of my apartment, and the guys brought it over my balcony, and were able to fit it. As someone who always hires movers, this company was the best! They were even flexible at fitting me in last minute for my move, and I was really surprised with how affordable and professional they were. Thanks again guys! read more

After my experience with "You Move Me" I now know how professional movers do business. Unlike, Chargers Moving, they actually showed up with boxes, an actual moving truck with the company name on it (not U-Haul), and they were professionally dressed! The two stars are for Chuck and Robert actually getting the job done w/out breaking anything, but due to the lack of upfront honesty from the owner about his company and what they provide as a moving service; I will never use this company again!!! read more

I take my Elite badge seriously and realize our reviews carry both weight and relevance. For that reason I will state my experience with Charger Moving factually and unemotionally. Chargers Moving is an Orange County based company that operates locally in the San Diego area using rented U-Haul trucks. My move was scheduled from a temporary apartment to a nearby house. I told the movers upon arrival I needed help with larger items and pointed out which ones I wanted them to move. And then... 1. Movers began taking little things like artwork off of the walls. Not that stuff guys. Already not as instructed. Possibly done because they are compensated hourly and I'd assume this fluff pads the time card. 2. They moved and scratched the casing of a new wide screen TV after being asked not to move it. Still not listening. I had been moving some small items into my car but in retrospect should have not left these gentlemen unattended at this point. 3. The furniture items were not carried, but mostly slid and jammed through doorways and subsequently damaged. They did have dolly carts that were minimally used. Damage ranged from a hole torn through the bottom lining of a couch to multiple scratches on wooden legs. 4. One of the movers pretty much dropped everything he wasn't jamming through a doorway. Mattresses had dirt stained areas due to contact with the ground where they had been dropped. 5. After being asked to re-position a mattress to the downstairs area of the house one mover suggested, "let's just throw it off the master bedroom balcony and it will land in the grass". This is no exaggeration. It amazes me even to write this quote let alone to have heard it. 6. The same employee had found a metal table at the apartment area and decided to bring it with him. To add insult to injury he literally bounced the table leg off of the back of my car as he crossed the street. Unbelievable. The words, "Are you @&#% kidding me?", did roll off of my tongue at that point. 7. At completion of the move one mover came in and said (to me) of the other, "That guy destroys my tips. He does nothing but trash people's furniture". What Chargers Moving did to resolve the issue... * The owner returned calls promptly and with courtesy. * The owner came to inspect damage and offered to come treat scratched wooden areas with a repair paint. He contacted me to arrange a time to come complete this task. * The employee who caused the majority of the damage will apparently no longer be retained. My heart goes out this guy but he's definitely in the wrong business. Hopefully he regains employment in a demolition field. My issues in attaining proper resolution. * Permanently damaged expensive furnishings. This wasn't disposable dormitory furniture. The owner suggested I make a personal insurance claim and that his "total loss" value (based on weight) would amount to very little. No pieces were total loss but simply damaged. I don't know California statutes regarding no-fault losses or if this falls into such a category however personally feel this is not the right thing to do. * There was permanent damage to items that were specifically instructed to not be moved or touched. I asked these valuables not be moved for specific reasons. This was bonus damage. In the end I was literally charged for the time it took them to move as well as damage it! * Absence of any compensatory credit from Chargers Moving for damages done by their employees but rather a suggestion to run it through my own insurance. In 128 reviews this is my first one star rating. This rating reflects my experience and in my opinion states the case as factually as possible. I could rant but based upon the above facts I simply suggest any potential clients of this company have an understanding of what they may come up against as well as Chargers Moving Co.'s methods of resolution. read more

This is by far the worst moving company ever. They show up in a tiny rented uhaul truck, they arrive late and try to squeeze extra money out of you at the end. The workers smell like marijuana and you spend most of your time managing them because they want to sit around and have small talk about your items when they are being billed by the hour! The owner who takes the phone calls is so unprofessional it is almost comical. He threatened to charge me extra if I go online and write a bad review. I'm sorry, but that is totally illegal and ridiculous. Do not use this company! UPDATE: CHECK OUT THE OWNERS RESPONSE TO THIS POST!!!! What a terrible business owner who has no idea how to deal with customer complaints. I'm truly embarrassed for him and anyone who works at this company. read more

Just used their service. Few points. 1. They came in very very late. They were supposed to come between 2-3 pm but came at 10pm!!! I had no more time and couldn't wait for a later date. I understand that their previous service on that day took a long time. 2. I lost my bag containing laptop, ipad, some other things. I'm not judging here. I'm hopelessly searching for it! read more

I've known Tommy for years and have had him move me "in and out" of locations the past 2 years. He is fair, honest, and very affordable. Also, I've referred him to many of my friends and they have thanked me personally for helping them find Chargers Moving! read more

Nice guys, but not experienced and slower than sh@t. Over 6 hours to move a small 2 bedroom place.

The owner, Tom was very helpful and knowledgeable. They are based in Orange County. I had called other moving companies in SD for a bids. One, I had used in the past, and was very happy with. Unfortunately the bid they gave me was about $1500 higher than everyone else. I was moving from an apt. I had packed everything myself in large plastic bins knowing that I would be putting everything into storage, pending a cross country move. Everything had been wrapped with lots of bubble wrap, packing materials etc. The men were very fast and efficient. Maybe a little to fast. There were a few items I didn't wrap and had asked the movers to. Long story short, they didn't wrap them at all. Of course, they were broken. As I was following the truck, I watched the men drive over speed bumps quickly, (they never slowed down) and was immediately concerned...slow down...( I don't think U-Hauls are built like a moving truck with the special air cushion that protects articles in transport) The moving representative apologized for the broken items, He said he would tell the owner, and that I'd be contacted. After a few weeks I called the owner a few times, leaving messages. He did call back, said he had not been made aware of the broken articles. Could I send him pics, and appx. weight? I did...Once again a few more phone calls, and to date I've heard nothing. Now it's months later....why bother. Also, it would have been really nice to know that they were coming in a U-Haul truck. The men told me that they bought the truck from U-Haul. hmmm Maybe a 2.5-3 star rating at best... read more

I used Chargers moving co... very quick and efficient. I was really impressed. First two hours ~$199, then $45/guy/hr afterwards. The movers were courteous and friendly, didn't take breaks, and were very considerate of my new place (they placed towels on the stair handles and on my floor). There were some minor dings on my furniture and walls due to the move which I'm not so happy about, but oh well. My hat box and keyboard stool is also missing, which is quite upsetting. My 5 hour move cost me $470. I was quoted $350-$450 but it took kinda long due to the elevators in my old apartment complex being slow and busy. read more

Quick, dependable, and friendly. You can not go wrong with these guys. I had a 2 bedroom apt that needed to be move asap and these guys had me moved out and into my new house in two hours. Average payment, about 500 dollars but it was worth it. read more

These guys moved a good amount of stuff in 2hrs door to door for a great price. They were on time, polite and hard working. It seems like every other year or so I'm moving and I'll definitely be calling this company when that time comes. read more

Deceptive billing practices and one of the movers very inappropriate asking personal financial questions and about the cost of certain furniture items. Pay a little more and get the job done professionally with someone else. read more

They rushed the job, breaking a valuable piece of decorative art. They insisted in getting the job done in one day, when it was supposed to be done in two. The two movers were not all that professional, bickering amongst themselves as to who was working the hardest. They were nice enough, polite and friendly, but lacked skills of professionalism. read more

Tom was very professional when scheduling move. Very friendly and made me feel comfortable. Movers showed up early and were very professional and skilled at moving. Let me use a wardrobe box for all my suits and gowns. Made everything quick and easy. Nothing was scratched or broked. Will use this service again for sure! Alot cheaper then what I estimated. Moved me from a 400 sq ft studio in Pacific Beach to a 700 sq ft apt right in front of Chargers stadium:-). I spent a week getting free boxes from local stores so had everything boxed and labeled when movers arrived. Ask for Chuck and Jose, great guys! Thanks Chargers! read more

Lucas and Kitty were very good. It was a long, 4 hour move, but they worked hard. They took apart my IKEA bed and put it back together with no instructions, lol. I am very satisfied and appreciated the hard work that was put in. I would definitely use them again. read more

Chuck and his coworker were great guys. They got my apartment packed and moved within three hours and I didn't have to lift a finger. I would definitely use these guys agin read more

I have used Chargers Moving Company to move several of my tenants (I manage apartments) and love the price and the service they provide. They are quick to schedule and arrive promptly when scheduled. They are careful with everyone's personal items and clean and professional. We had to have them move a tenant's couch through a 3rd story living room window (the tenant had just purchased it and was in tears that it was too big to fit through the front door), and they were extremely careful both with the couch and preventing damage to the building. The people who have left poor reviews are probably awful to a lot of the businesses they deal with--seriously people! This is a great company and I love dealing with Tom. He is courteous and professional and always easy to work with. read more

Great service! Although, first impression could have been better. I was reluctant when I saw a U-haul with graffiti on it pull-up to my apt, but Robert and Chuck more than made up for the appearance of their truck with their speedy service and smiles. They worked fast (even though they get paid by the hour) respecting our tight timeline. They wrapped our furniture and even helped pack a few loose items in spare boxes they had brought. We have a big one bedroom and our job was completed in less than 3 hrs. I would recommend Charger Moving Co for anyone looking for trusted and efficient service! read more

I had to call a few movers before i found someone able to move on a sunday and charger moving company said they could with no problem. Chuck and Robert showed up on time and ready to get the job done. They were both professional and quick. They thought they couldn't get my sofa sleeper into the new place but with determination (and my help!) they did it. It was a great experience! read more

My initial movers left me stranded then I called Chargers movers and they were the only ones that were able to accommodate me last minute and move me. Professional and quick! Definitely recommended! read more

Great service !!!!!Heard working people!!!!Very efficient.....we hire first for 3 hours but because of need for more time we extended for 3 more.....guys were very careful with stuff our previous ap. didn't have elevator (3th floor) Everything went smoothly ....Would highly recommend their services... read more

On 11/12/2015 we had Luke and Danny move us into a new apartment. These guys were not only professional movers but very friendly and took great care of our items. We were charged the amount quoted which we believe to be an accurately priced move. We will definitely be using chargers moving company again but hopefully not too soon! Tom was also very responsive to phone calls and questions. Thanks again everyone! read more

This was the worst Moving Company I have ever encountered. They harrassed my roommate and were hitting on her during the move. It took them 8 hours to move a 2 bedroom apartment 2 miles. They did not give us a receipt after we paid them. They are continuing to harrass me and they showed up at my new apartment weeks after the move. Be careful these guys are not professional and they use a 17 foot Uhaul for their moves!! read more

Do yourself a favor and avoid Chargers Moving like the plague! My husband is on duty in the Navy and I had to coordinate what should have been an easy 2-mile move by myself. I saw a Chargers Moving card pinned to a cork board by my mailbox, so I called to get a quote. Of course, while the card indicated a "$149 Special", by the time the quote was finished, it was two hundred dollars, but Tom said that would include convenient wardrobe boxes for my clothes. Nice. Two very unprofessional men showed up looking and acting very unprofessional. As soon as they arrived, I asked for the wardrobe boxes. "Uh, we ain't got no boxes," replied one. They were driving a U-Haul truck that was covered with graffiti in black spray paint. I was moving the contents of a small one-bedroom apartment, and the move should've taken one day; however, for reasons unknown to me, they managed to stretch it into two days. On the second day of the move, one of the men brought a little girl with him who looked to be about 3-4 years old. During the moving process, he asked me if he could "go ahead and get paid" because he needed to "get some cigarettes and some milk for my lil' girl". Against my better judgment I gave him a twenty-dollar bill. He asked me where "the rest" was and I said, "Well, I think that will cover a pack of cigarettes and some milk." They told me the last of my things were loaded in the truck. I made one last check of the rooms and noticed that the patio storage door was ajar. I looked inside and about half of the boxes were still in there. I said, "Hey, I found some more stuff," and they wouldn't take it down unless I brought it out of the storage and into the hallway of my building. I WAS ACTUALLY DOING MOVING! When they were about to make their last trip of the move, they demanded to be paid. I told them I would pay them at my new place after the truck was unloaded. They said they weren't going to unload the truck unless they got paid, and they demanded cash. I'd been planning on writing a check--who pays movers in cash when they're supposedly working for a moving company?! But wait...here's the worst: THEY STOLE MY TELEVISION! Fortunately, I had taken a covert photo of the license plate on the truck. I walked outside and asked if everything was unloaded and they said it was and were trying to close the back of the truck when I spotted my bright red barbeque grill. "There's my grill!" I said, annoyed. "Oh, yeah," replied one of the thieves and handed it to me. I walked inside to call the police and by the time I returned to where the truck was--about 2 minutes or less later--they were gone! "Tom"--I assume he's the owner or manager--called me the next morning and demanded $900 from me (I have no idea what that was about!) and when I told him I'd already paid the $200 to the men, plus $20 for "milk and cigarettes", he asked how I'd paid. In cash, I told him and he called me a liar and said the guys said I'd refused to pay. Then I told him they had also stolen my TV and he called me a liar again and said he was going to sue me. I told him he'd better talk to his movers first and then let me know what he thought. I never heard a word from him again and it's been almost a month. But he will hear from the police soon when they follow up on the report. UNBELIEVABLE. read more

Scheduling conflict in which they attempted to double charge me for their own error - very little effort to take care or protect delicate pieces. Broke two of my favorite vintage pieces of furniture, totally irreplaceable and very disappointed. Will not be using them again and I urge you to find other options. read more

Do NOT use this company! Completely misled. It ended up costing TWICE what I was told! They have business cards that advertise 2 movers, 2 hours, $149...don't believe it! The movers talk more than they do anything else. I had a little apartment that didn't have much in it, and ended up paying almost $400! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! (Oh, and they truck on the card is not the truck they show up in! It's an old little U-Haul....if you actually have a lot of furniture, expect multiple trips). read more

DO NOT USE THESE SCAMERS. I have moved many times in the last 15 years. this was by far the worst moving experience I've ever had. They came with a small u-haul truck that would have 2 to 3 trips after I had explicitly explained what furniture and boxes. Then tried to raise the price on me. After that Rocky beginning stalling two hoursthen the movers did not bother wrapping my leather couch now has sustained permanent damage and broke my futon and broke my expensive dining room table their response to which was OPPS. With all this said this is most expensive move I've ever paid for not including all the damages read more

Just had this moving company move me from mission valley, to lemon grove, and I would have to say I was very impressed. The two guys who showed up(Scotty and Joe) were fast and treated my furniture and boxed up items with good care. I was quoted a fantastic price of $150+ gas and mileage, which I gave them my prior address as well as my new one. The overall price quote was $205. The move took exactly two hours as quoted, and the total price was $204. The workers were fast and efficient, packing my items very carefully into the truck, making sure they were secure each time before placing the next item in. The crew also placed my items where I wanted them in my new place, which was relieving considering they moved some very awkward and heavy items up a staircase for me. I would recommend these guys to anybody moving in the San Diego county, or wherever else they operate. Thanks Tom and thanks Chargers. read more

Please, do yourself a favor and never hire these guys. Safe your money and rent a uhaul yourself.

These guys recently helped me with a move. They were reliable, and did a great job. I would recommend them to anybody.

i recently used charger moving for a unit transfer move. i must say first of all i hate the process of moving! found out about chargers moving from advertisement card left in door, held on to card for 9- months until it was my time to move. called owner tom 4-weeks before move he let me know the cost for 2-hours with two movers would be 169.00.i told tom i had a two bedroom apartment with a lot of stuff to move he told me it should,nt take much longer then two hours i was hesitant.gene and matt showed up at the exact time we agreed to 9:00am,they worked very quickly and very efficiently and handled all furniture with tlc at 11:00am the move was complete.the secret to a good move is to have everything packed and ready to go organization. thank you gene ,matt,and tom for a very stress free move! anthony bryant read more

I am very dissatisfied with the service I received from this company. While the movers were nice; they definitely worked me over on the time they took to move my belongings. I wanted a bigger truck than the option that was standard but Tom assured me that since the storage was so close that it wouldn't take them much time to return for additional items. Well on the way back for the second trip they disappeared and I had to call to find out where they were. Like I don't have things to do. I had items that were damaged as well. Very nice items I may add. Tom said they could "send someone out" to repair my items. Someone who also happens to move people and has been trained to repair damaged items!! How convenient. I would surely not recommend this company to anyone let alone fellow military personnel. Please search elsewhere for movers. They even had to use some of my tools. Never again. It's not worth the hassle. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! Oh yeah one guy did offer to call his nephew to help with the move. This shows you how credible and professional of a mover they are!!!! Pissed is an understatement. read more

These guys are amazing. They're professional, responsible, calm and trustworthy. I hired them to move me from a third story apartment (no elevator), on a hot, hot summer's day, and watched them carry 11 years worth of furniture, books, boxes and gadgets that I'd accumulated. Never once complaining. They saw what needed to be done and did it, carefully, professionally and no kidding, smiling. I totally, totally recommend these guys. read more

Awesome service. Danny and Luke did a fantastic job of moving my furniture. The customer service was also great. Will use them again!!!!

Moving is usually a headache but Chargers Moving made it a piece of cake. When I first spoke to Tom, he answered all my questions, gave me great insight & immediately made me feel like our move was in good hands. On the day of the move, Chuck & Robert were a phenomenal! They were fast, hard working, friendly, professional & a joy to work with! On top of all that, they were very reasonably priced. We will definitely recommend them to anyone whose looking to move! read more

This move was so bad I almost told them to take everything off the truck and go away after about 1/3 of my stuff was on it. Scratched my furniture because they didn't use the pads (or only put them on top not between furniture). Asked me for stomach medicine cause one of the guys wasn't feeling well (weird). Refused to take the handle off the fridge so they could get it out the door (this was a new one- I move every 5 years and have never encountered this). Said they couldn't get my armoire up the stairs so it's sitting in my garage- gonna have to hire someone else to bring it up. Washed their faces in my kitchen sink (yuk). Tried to put a fragile antique table on the bottom of the truck and then pile boxes on top of it (thank God I caught this). And...drum role please...one guy hugged me at the end of the job. He was soaking wet in sweat and just ICK!! Oh and I forgot- the owner tried to get me to pay for more guys to help because it was likely to take 10-12 hours or more. Yeah right. We did it in 5.5 hours. The one thing I have enjoyed about this company is reading the snarky responses from the owner to customers bad reviews. Read them- they're hysterical. Wish I had looked at these YELP reviews before I hired them. Avoid these guys. read more
