Stafford is amazing. He helped me assess what I've had in storage for 5+ years and gently pointed out that what I've stored is worth less now than the cost of storing it for so long. Took pics of pieces that he thought might sell and posted them; brainstormed ideas for selling the IKEA furniture; helped me transport some priceless paintings in his super-cautious way. Can't recommend Dedicated Deliveries enough. Stafford and his team are certainly dedicated to excellent and careful service. Side note: I've seen some of the things that they've moved! A loom, delicate statuary, glass... all carefully considered and perfectly packed to ensure delivery in the shape they were picked up. Both thumbs enthusiastically up. read more

Holy cow where do I begin? Stafford and his team made what would be a nightmare, a total dream. They were prompt, professional, and incredibly careful with our items -- especially a delicate antique glass cabinet and several display cases that required extra attention. Everything was handled with care and moved perfectly without any issues. Communication was great from start to finish, they arrived right on time, and the entire process felt smooth and stress-free. They were also trustworthy, respectful, and truly a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend if you're looking for movers who are careful, reliable, and professional. Would absolutely use them again. read more

I handle logistics for a company on the East Coast. What I needed was white glove service for delivery and setup of business meeting furniture & materials in both San Francisco and LA area venues. For the past 6 years, Dedicated Deliveries has met that need. The setups have been timely & evey job has been completed with willingness & attention to detail. Communication is key as well and knowing that I can easily reach them during the jobs is a plus. Wouldn't have any other company doing this work. Thanks Stafford! read more

I've moved many times and James and Luke were excellent! On time, efficient, neat, and very thoughtful about navigating new floors and carpeting and 3 levels! read more

Wooo Hoo! Got our delivery yesterday and we are so happy! Needed to get some large taxidermy -- an 11 foot long marlin, a huge moose head and big horn sheep head from Casper, Wyoming to Morongo Valley, CA.... not easy to find someone. Especially since we did NOT want to pay extra for fancy crating, etc... Feel SO lucky to have found Stafford and his gang. They are ingenious! Hung the marlin up in the van so it arrived unscathed. And all for a way more affordable price than we found anywhere else. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! read more

See all

Stafford was both efficient and easy to work with. He packed and transported a very fragile terra cotta sculpture from the SF Bay Area to Massachusetts. The piece emerged intact and happy--and so are we. Thrilled at how well it all went. Never the remotest problem. Stafford has earned our immense thanks, appreciation and, really, admiration. There were NO problems. read more

Stafford has done many delivery projects for me with meticulous attention to detail - including handling delicate and valuable art work and archival materials. He is reliable, trustworthy, super friendly and priced right. And also totally thoughtful about being COVID-19 safe. Definitely recommended! read more

I recently moved from CA to TN and needed help packing my most precious, unique and fragile items. I hired Dedicated Deliveries based on both prior experience with Stafford in both the SF Bay Area and CA. I have some experience packing but not to the degree that I felt comfortable. James and Robert did a perfect job with their care and expertise packing my belongings and then they loaded it all onto the truck and secured it. Money well spent. No breakage. Thank you James and Stafford for protecting my investment and helping me once again. read more

Fast, Reliable and will go the extra mile. I use Stafford and his team multiple times a week and they make it seamless and easy to get everything where it needs to go on time. Plus just nice people to do business with. read more

Boy, do I wish I could have gone with Dedicated Deliveries so I could have gotten my stuff delivered on time! Stafford warned me that inexpensive, consolidated long-distance delivery services often misplace items and/or are late to deliver, but I went with the latter anyway because it was half the cost. Well, I got what I paid for: I did get all my stuff, but not until 3 weeks after the other company originally scheduled my delivery. Stafford checked in with me along the way, showing genuine concern for where my stuff was and offering strategies for how to get the other delivery company to hurry up. An "A" for customer service, and I wasn't even officially a customer! read more

I never write yelp reviews, however I simply had to create an account just to give these guys praise. Excellent, excellent people. Despite any concerns that I had around having some precious objects delivered, speaking to James (several times over the phone), put me at ease. Once the team showed up, I knew that I'd made the right choice. I would one hundred percent use them again or recommend their service to anyone that needs something of value transported. Their attention to detail put my mind at ease. Cannot give James and his crew enough accolades. read more

I called STANFORD for my business needs for Bluma Flower Farm. They were incredibly gracious in taking the time to refer me to the appropriate people who could deliver the services that I need. It is always a great pleasure to find helpful folks on the other end of the line. read more

Best at moving Delicate Art work. Was packed with so much care and delicate hands. Delivered safely!

Imagine that you're moving from SF to Oakland (joining the mass exodus) and, let's also imagine you're struggling to find transportation for bona fide divas of the plant world - namely, a 15-foot tall ficus tree that drops its leaves when you say 'boo', and some exotic plants with leaf canopies that spread 8 feet out and aren't super fond of change. I called Flora Grubb, a rather high-end nursery here in SF, asking if they had any recommendations for someone they'd trust - and they gave me Stafford's name. I texted Stafford photos of the plants, he returned a prompt and altogether reasonable quote, his guys were available right when I needed them, and they arrived right on time with very clever ways to maneuver and secure these creatures in their truck (it involved sand bags and magic, presumably). Before we knew it, the move was done. I'm sitting here now under the tree canopy in the new space, and it's - perfect. Bravo to Stafford and his team - we'd hire them again in a heartbeat. read more

I needed a Craigslist find picked up from Pittsburg (CA!) to my house in Oakland. I called on Saturday and my item was picked up on Sunday, exactly on time. I found the company's name on Clar's Auction site, and thought that would be good, since this was an Art Deco armoire with Bakelite handles. I wanted service beyond run-of-the-mill hoist it and plop it down. Stafford was professional and communicative throughout. Great care was taken with my armoire- it was a rainy day on top of everything else. I would definitely use them again for any sort of careful delivery (art, furniture) that I need done. Oh, and the seller in Pittsburgh found Stafford to be courteous and very professional as well. read more

I needed to have a vintage hand-constructed harpsichord moved from Sunnyvale to Berkeley. Stafford proposed to do the move a few days after my call. He was polite, prompt, and extremely careful of the instrument. And his price was very reasonable. He and his helper earned a tip because delivery required removing the legs, carrying the instrument down uneven outside stairs, and reinstallation of the legs. I highly recommend Stafford for a move. Highly professional and very reliable. read more

I called Dedicated Deliveries to deliver a custom-made couch to my home in Oakland. I was able to get the couch picked up from the store and delivered to my house the same day! The drivers were courteous and efficient, even offering to unwrap the couch from its protective covering. As a former part-time mover, I was impressed with the amount of care they gave to making sure they cleared doorways, etc. to make sure nothing was damaged. I will definitely call Dedicated Deliveries again when I need to have something delivered. read more

We recently retained Dedicated Deliveries to help us pack and deliver items including precious art and personal possessions from San Francisco to Arizona without us being present in SF due to the pandemic. We could not have made a better choice. I researched companies for weeks and found that many are brokers, overpriced, not specific on dates or prices, not the people who will actually be doing the work or move, and often have less than favorable reviews when one digs deep. I was fortunately given the contact info for Stafford, the owner of Dedicated Deliveries, by a moving specialist. What a true gift that was. I learned quickly that Stafford does not need to advertise because his reputation, word of mouth referrals, and past job success speak for themselves. He is known for transporting valuable items and everyone who has asked for his help, recommends him highly to others, thereby generating a loyal and vocal following. From the moment I spoke with Stafford on the phone (yes, the actual owner answers the phone and is the one with whom you will deal directly), I knew we and our valuables would be in very good hands. Stafford immediately grasped our situation, sympathized with our pandemic plight, and began to explain exactly how he could help. He was specific about dates, times, and prices and gave us a variety of options. He explained that his goal is to serve his clients well and that he certainly did! Stafford oversees it all and is responsible and hands on from beginning to end. Dates, times, and prices were honored. His packing professionals showed up exactly when they were supposed to and did a phenomenal job. The art was professionally wrapped with custom boxes created to ensure safe transport. Every one of his company members, who worked on moving day, led by incredibly intelligent and impressive James, was respectful, friendly, smart, courteous, and first class. We were able to communicate with them from afar throughout the process. All of our items were delivered from SF to AZ with white glove service in a custom van by Stafford's professional, intelligent, and very kind brother, Don and Don's lovely wife Robyn. Our precious cargo arrived exactly as promised and when promised in Arizona. Everything was wrapped and boxed carefully, labeled, and in perfect shape. Throughout the process, I was able to speak with Stafford whenever I needed to. He answered his phone every time I called and he always patiently addressed all of my questions and allayed each of my worries. The other members of Dedicated Deliveries were just as customer service oriented as Stafford. This is a man and a company who takes their job seriously, who realizes the importance of client care, honesty, reliability, human decency, and integrity - a rare find in today's business world. You can trust Stafford and Dedicated Deliveries to do exactly what they have promised and more. I give them a 20+ on a scale of 1-10. read more

Dedicated Deliveries was a referral I got when I needed help transporting the fabric for my business from Los Angeles to the Bay Area. From the very beginning, Stafford was quick to respond (something that is always appreciated!) and made it work so that I could have my fabric in a timely manner. His team also displayed a high level of communication by letting me know that the items were picked up, gave an estimated ETA, and updated with delivery time within a specified window. It made it so much easier for me to plan my day and the whole process was seamless. 10/10 recommend! read more

Amazing service. We have used them twice ~ each time amazing service. We shipped some heirloom pieces that are irreplaceable to us. Each time everything arrived in perfect condition and on time (which is always important). I have used other movers and shippers who say what it takes to win the job and then are no where to be found when they don't live up to expectations. Not these guys. And their prices are very reasonable. read more

Reliable, careful, pleasant to work with! Moving services for our design business and personal. Highly recommended!

Stafford and Burke really came through for me when I needed some artwork transported. There was a last-minute emergency for another crew member but they scrambled to make sure I was covered. Great job! read more

The Dedicated Deliveries Team perfectly executed the shipping of a prized trove of family art to our Northern California home from Los Angeles. Every piece arrived in perfect shape. Thank you! read more

I was with a client at the Maker Faire over the weekend and our shipment got stuck at the Oakland airport & we weren't going to get it until after the Faire was over. I called Stafford and he happened to have someone available. He sent Genevieve to pick up our two heavy pallets Saturday evening, and had them to us in San Mateo in no time. They were careful and courteous, and Genevieve is terrific - we loved her! She helped us offload the items with a cheerful smile. And the next day, people loved our booth. We couldn't have done it without Stafford's (and Genevieve's) help. Great attitudes, great service. And a fabulous price for being an emergency for us, too. Would use them again in a heartbeat. Thanks y'all! read more

I've used Stafford and Dedicated Deliveries numerous times to get furniture picked up and delivered and to move office items from one space to another. Every time, Stafford and his crew have been on time, efficient, professional, and have moved everything swiftly and carefully, with everything arriving exactly in their original condition. This is a thoroughly professional operation, not some dodgy "man with a van" from Craiglist. Dedicated Deliveries is a company I can rely on, which really takes the stress of moving big stuff--like artworks, office desks, multiple boxes of books, or a long sofa--off my shoulders. I've also consulted Stafford for advice on moving items coast-to-coast, and he was able to suggest very affordable options that I would not have thought of myself. read more

Stafford really came through in an emergency. I had a party emergency that I needed four tables picked up, delivered to a park in Downtown Oakland, picked up again, held overnight until the party store opened up on Monday and then delivered again. It was a super complicated situation, but not for Stafford who immediately understood what was needed, and who was absolutely fantastic to work with. I couldn't be happier with how it all went. He is the best! read more

Stafford cares! After a dear friend in need called me to help find transportation for important items of hers on a deadline, I eventually discovered Dedicated Deliveries. Of course she called me late in the game and I called them even later. The reviews do not mislead! We were connected with what we needed in the timeframe. So impressed and grateful! Thank you Dedicated Deliveries! I will never forget your helping me to help her. read more

I knew the moment Stafford pulled up to my door, that he would safely deliver my late father's two beloved accordions to be sold in Yucca Valley from San Mateo. Somehow Stafford exudes trust. He is upbeat and business-like and insisted on laying the accordion that was in a soft case on the floor of the van right behind his seat. I feel indebted to this company and will sing their praises to my friends. read more

Stafford and his team at Dedicated Deliveries are top notch. I've called upon them numerous times for their assistance in moving product and equipement for my business over the years.

We are new to freight shipping. We needed to palletize a shipment before pickup. Stafford answered our call and dropped off two pallets for us along with a shrink wrap roll. He was very professional and courteous to our needs. Highly recommended!! read more

While planning an event for my job, Stafford worked with me on a same-day delivery and pickup. Even though it was just one item he had to pick up from a prop house, his top-notch communication skills and can-do attitude was definitely refreshing in comparison to vendors I've worked with before. If you need any pickup or delivery needs, Stafford is definitely your dude! read more

My grandmother needed many expensive and fragile art pieces, heirlooms, cabinets, antique furniture moved to another house and Stafford and his staff did an amazing job. The attention to detail and the care in preparing each item was very impressive. Stafford is a thorough expert and was knowledgeable beyond what I've seen in other high end delivery companies. He also was a pleasure to talk with and had excellent interpersonal communication skills when talking with my family members and his employees. I will now use Dedicated Deliveries every time and recommend them to any one who needs superior service moving fragile and expensive items. An all around A+++++++++ experience every time. read more

Working with Stafford and his team was a pure pleasure. From beginning to end, Stafford was responsive and professional, transporting art from Los Angeles to the Bay Area. The pieces varied from very small to very large and some items needed professional wrapping to ensure their safety. All pieces arrived exactly on time and in pristine condition. I highly recommend Dedicated Deliveries for precious art packing and delivery, and I will definitely call them for other fine art deliveries. Thanks, Dedicated Deliveries, for bringing our treasures home for us. read more

I had to move my art work from Boise to Oakland and originally planned to do it myself in my pick-up. But, I hit some black ice and rolled over the truck on the way to the pick the work up. I was delayed, stressed out, and had to get the work to Oakland. A friend recommended Dedicated Deliveries. I was nervous I wouldn't be able to afford it and that a moving company wouldn't know how to handle the work carefully. Stafford was really sensitive to my situation and the move went as smooth as it possibly could have. He was prepared with all the materials we needed and he was very careful with packing the stuff in the truck so it wouldn't get damaged. I had to stay in Boise to deal with the car stuff and he took the work to the gallery. It got there on time and safe. read more
