    Set up our bed!
    Grace L.

    I would give David's Moving Service more than 5 stars for making our move such a seamless and smooth process for our family. Let's be real- no one enjoys packing and moving and the dread that hovers over you when you just think about moving heavy furniture and boxes is so real. Fortunately we were able to reserve three people from David's team, Eathan, Alex, and Brandon, and they were the ideal #dreamteam. Communication up until moving day was very quick with David, and the three movers arrived on time, started moving boxes out of our house very quickly, and packed up our 2 bedroom/1 bath plus outdoor space furniture in their truck in a few hours! I had asked in advance for them to also pack our kitchen and they did that all in way less than than I would have been able to do myself. After they drove over to our new house, they unloaded everything and placed everything where we wanted them to. We had a bed delivered to the house earlier and we asked Eathan if he could set up our bed for us and he even did that so we didn't have to worry about it! Eathan, Alex, and Brandon were amazing to work with and super communicative which I really appreciated. If you are looking to move your home, I wouldn't look anywhere else and book through David's Moving Service! Thank you so much for all your help!

    Our movers!! So friendly :D

    David's Moving Service was wonderful!! The team was on time, friendly, adaptable, and efficient. Everything was moved over perfectly and not one item was scratched or broken. They were also among the most reasonably priced services we looked at. Highly recommend!

    Amazing experience! My girlfriend and I were moving in together from separate locations in SF to one location in San Diego. David coordinated picking up our stuff from both locations and was flexible with time changes. He also arranged a "car pool" so that we could move on the same day as another customer and get a discounted rate. We had packed almost everything into boxes, but the movers helped pack everything that wasn't, providing their own boxes at no extra charge. Everything arrived on time and in perfect condition. David and his team were a pleasure to work with and we would definitely recommend!

    As a SF native since birth I feel I have a good gauge on what's what in the way of fair & right as it pertains to small businesses in the Bay Area. I've also moved 14 times since birth, with 4 moves in the past half dozen years & have always used movers; I like to support small businesses. That said, this outfit should be put out of business. I have never before experienced such a horrendous nightmare that it's taken me an entire week to catch my breath enough to write a review. If you are planning a move: READ THIS & BEWARE. I had both texted and spoken w/ David a few days prior to my move date. I'm a solo Womxn, was going from Oakland to SF, one bedroom + 20 plants. He suggested two movers and said the job would be done in 4 hrs, 5 if there was a snag. Seeing as I opted for a 2pm pick up and the new place was on the 2nd floor I went w/ 3 movers and a large truck. At 2pm no one showed up / no call or text. I texted and was told they were on the way. At 2.30pm a 16 foot truck arrived - which was not what we agreed on. I texted David and called, his response was: "Can I call you later?" - Long story short he promised a 2nd truck in 20 min. The second truck arrived THREE HOURS later. Meanwhile he was 100% non responsive during those 3 hours. It took them 5.5 hours of packing the house, because the three movers insisted on BOTH breaking down every piece of furnitue bit by bit and wrapping with plastic wrap. Mind you I let them know my furniture is cheap, craigslist cheap, nothing needed to be wrapped but they would not stop which only added three full hours of time to the bill... The two trucks get to the new house at 8pm and they don't start bringing items up until a quarter to 9pm. At this point my new apartment bldg manager is livid, it's a quiet neighborhood and quiet hours on Sunday begin at 9pm. I have three men banging up and down stairs until 11.30pm, the worst way to make a positive impression at a brand new place. My neighbors are still upset. In short I was promised a 4 or 5 hour TWO MAN move - it was a 9.5 hour THREE MAN move: one bedroom apartment w/ minimal furniture. I tipped the three (because it wasn't their fault that their con artist boss made them wrap everything in a saran wrap cocoon (!)) and paid $1400 so with tip close to TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS which was more than half of what we agree upon. I can't stress this enough - there is a con artist running a scam big time here. Do not hire David or work with his company. They should NOT be in business. I'm crushed to have been taken like this, seeing as this is my home turf and I was only trying to help out a small mom and pop biz. Mind you David disappeared at the end of the night and I ended up conversing with someone who very much sounded and spoke like a mafia boss, threatening and ugly, demanding more than $1400. I have since reached out via both phone and text / no response. Moving is such a high stress hectic time in anyone's life to have to deal with a nightmare like I did was pretty terrible. BEWARE.

    These guys are amazing. I still can't believe what they did, which is move an upright piano up two flights of narrow, turning stairs. And they did it without a single complaint (I would have been bitching up a storm). Plus, they had to drive for three hours just to pick it up from my brother's garage! This piano means a lot to me because it was my mother's -- it's very precious. I was a little worried that after all that it might have gotten damaged, but they had wrapped it so well with blankets and plastic that it could have fallen down the stairs and not gotten a chink. Bravo, David's Moving Service for a job very well done! I highly recommend these hard working, pleasant, reasonably priced gentlemen. I'm attaching a photo of one of the stair flights they tackled -- there were two of these!

    I had a really positive experience with Eric and his moving team during my move from SF to LA! They were super efficient, packing and loading all my items in under 2 hours. They were also very flexible and arranged the delivery of my items to a storage unit in LA around my schedule. They were also by far the best price out of all the moving companies I researched and included unloading. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for movers in California

    I'm really glad that David's Moving Service recently helped me move my 1bedroom apartment. They were on time and got everything moved in a timely manner. The crew was great and had a good attitude through the whole process. I would def recommend using them.

    I hate moving. Wholeheartedly. But this time things were different thanks to David's moving help. Guys appeared right on time and did a terrific job moving all my belongings fast and professionally. No hidden fees or inefficient use of time. Highly recommend!

    Gulsaya M.

    I was moving from one bedroom to a studio. My friend gave me these guys's business card, because they helped her out with moving as well. I saw they're pretty new in this business, but even like that their team definitely knows what they're doing. They've been so nice and polite, they took a good care of my stuff and all furniture, they were wearing a masks all the time. I don't even little regret for using their services. They made my moving easy and less stressful and plus the price is verrrry affordable. So I definitely recommend these guys!!

    They had everything packed in under an hour!

    See all

This was for a one-way move from the Bay Area to Nevada, about a 4+ hour drive. Cost: reasonable and better than some other companies which wanted much much more. Fixed price based on what I described we had to move. I conferred w Nancy via phone, text, email. 4% fee if credit card is used. $200 deposit, can pay by cash/check/Venmo or Zelle. I used a cash app. There's no written contract. Moving day: Last month: movers Bao & Deng, don't speak English but seemed to understand us. Owner/supervisor Nancy came to out house to see, a surprise! Their moving truck was clean. Moved items from house and storage facility. They padded and plastic wrapped bigger items like sofa, dresser, desk, etc. They are efficient and know their stuff - what would've taken me and my family 3-4 hours to move they finished in 30 minutes! Nothing broken, nothing damaged. Payment: $200 cash tip each. $2,100 final payment via Cash App. Reliable, efficient movers, would use them again!

Additional there is a min 30 min travel time charge which would be an additional $65 for this move. Not using them! This also appears to be illegal in California "Unfair Competition Law (UCL): Charging for a service not rendered (like fuel not used) can be argued as "unfair or deceptive" under California Business and Professions Code § 17200, especially if the surcharge is used as a hidden profit center rather than a cost recovery tool." Below is a reply and here is my response: The information about the fuel fee was presented to be based on a percentage of the total move time. Not your actual cost, which I would have been okay with. I'm not asking for anything to be waived, just transparency. Your remarks about your family are completely out of line. It's clear you want to change the subject from your questionable practice and make this personal. It is not personal. I don't know you other than how you have presented your business here. Very Questionably. I see you removed your statements about your family business. I provided the law that it appears you are not following in a private message.

So I knew no matter how long the move took and with the long distances, I already knew how much the max cost would be up front with no surprises. And they also offer a discount based on the way you paid them. WINNING! And so, I didn't use Pure Moving just once, but three times this month. The first time, I had to move from Union City to a storage facility in Elk Grove and this past weekend we had two teams going, one from San Jose to Elk Grove and the other from the storage facility to our new home. Pure Moving was perfect in all ways possible. They were professional, prompt, efficient, and super friendly. They handled and wrapped items with care and made you feel at ease that everything was going to be safe and secure. They disassembled furniture as needed and reassembled it on site. One great detail, they laid down plastic protectors everywhere to keep things clean and tidy where they would be stepping. And cleaned up all the plastic wrap/coverings, cardboard and tape they used while packing and unpacking. They literally took care of all the heavy - and even the light - lifting! I just want to say thank you to Paul, Nick, Toha, Dan and Symon for taking care of our move and my Family. Moving is already stressful but they made it Pure-ly AWESOME!

What I encountered was end-to-end excellence, from customer service to their excellent moving team. I knew our move would be a large one, so I booked a 26' truck and five-person crew. As the day of the move approached, I had lots of last-minute worries and questions and Sam, in Customer Service, answered every one and generally calmed my nerves, assuring me my move team would assist if we needed last-minute help. On the day of the move, the team arrived right on time. The foreman, Guillermo, assessed our situation and calmly confirmed my suspicious that we'd need two trucks (this my error, not OnTrack's). Before I could panic, he had contacted his team and we arranged that ours be a two day move. Guillermo's team wrapped our furniture and had the truck loaded swiftly. At the new house, we had a few of our family help direct traffic. I'd labelled every box with a color-coded room label and the team got everything to the proper room. On day two, Sammy -- part of the original crew -- acted as lead and we repeated the process. Here, a number of items still needed a bit of packing and his team had everything done in record time and -- bless them - marked the boxes for the proper room destinations without prompting. As I now unpack, I'm finding everything in excellent condition and couldn't be more grateful. We'd heard stories about moving nightmares and wanted to share a happy ending. Guillermo and Sammy were AMAZING and their crews were very hard working. Tips: my sister had a table of bottled waters, bags of chips, and other snacks ready for the team when we arrived at the new house. The team appeared grateful for the sustenance. We also tipped each person individually, in cash.

CONS: * Prolonging the service to get more money. The movers had dollys and started only moving one box at a time. * Careless about your items. I had expensive plants that were smashed, ripped, and taken apart. * Moving boxes were not taped at the bottom causing items to fall out. I would have recommended the company had they tried to not gaslight me. I take great care and detail in moving as I've done it countless times. The movers changed around my boxes and then didn't tape them causing me to have items smashed and destroyed. The movers tried putting blame on me. I didn't appreciate that the intentionally went slower so that I would have to pay more for their services.
