We used these guys to move several large bookcases, a heavy recliner, and other miscellaneous boxes recently. They were friendly, very professional and took great care of our items! They even helped us move a few extra things we hadn't put in the quote (because they work based on amount of time). Speaking of time, they weren't sluggish at all and were very quick! I was surprised they took apart our recliner to move it but it came back together just fine in our new place! Don't listen to reviews older than about 18 month ago because these guys recently bought this company. Highly recommend! read more

This was the second time this year I hired Discount Movers. I had a great experience when they moved me from Phoenix to San Diego I just hired them again. Daniel the owner is extremely responsive and extremely professional. The move went smoothly both times which has not been my previous experience. I would highly recommend them and definitely use the in the future. read more

Daniel and Garret were absolutely amazing! We had to move out of our home due to a flood and used them to move us out and then back in when our repairs were completed. They are incredibly professional, and went above and beyond. They put our 4 poster bed together and also put in our closet organizers. They remembered where our furniture was and moved very quickly. They were cautious as there was new floors and fresh paint. We give them a 5 star or higher review! You will not be disappointed in going with them. Their price is fair and competitive but their service is excellent! read more

James refuses to return an email or answer a call after claiming he was going to submit an insurance claim for the damage the weed smoking teenage movers caused moving into my new house. Wall damage from when they were bringing in the mattress to the master bedroom and flung the door open violently. Cracked the baseboard to the entry of the front door when movers violently rolled the trolly with heavy furniture over it. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. read more

Be aware of this mover. DISCOUNT means DISCOUNT SERVICE! If you're 1/5 of their 250 customers, you will be screwed. We are strained today on our moving day. This moving outfit called us to cancel our appointment an hour before our moving schedule. His excuse was we don't answer the phone and emails. But they know how to use Text to change our schedule, but somehow didn't know to use Text to ask us to confirm "again" our appointment? Yelp should remove them from hurting customers. They are UNRELIABLE and will cause you a headache. We have moved many times, sometimes from city to city. We have bad movers damaged our furniture, but never had one cancelled our appointment on the day of moving. read more

NEVER HIRe THEM! They change the time from morning to afternoon the day before. Then one hour before the said time they dropped the ball said the cannot do it. Their excuse was we didn't confirm our appointment. If they were not sure why they moved the moving time from morning to afternoon? We had to call another mover for emergency move. Never hire this mover. I should give them zero star if allowed. read more

Not only did they damage the stairs and landing in the house I just sold to someone by dropping a huge chest of drawers that had to be repaired for $450, but they offered a very small amount to the new owners to go towards putting carpet down on the damaged stairs and landing . The movers also made dents in the walls while moving things out! After unloading my furniture in my new home I noticed deep scratches on my antique coffee table, 2 corners of my leather recliner was damaged . I WOULD NO recommend DISCOUNT MOVERS EVER TO ANYONE! The owner used the excuse that he had movers with less experience that day. He gave NO compensation to me for ANY damages . His company is the worst possible. read more

After the packing debacle we arranged with the owner(?) manager(?) to have the movers still come to move our furniture. They were prompt and super fast with moving everything. They did a great job getting all of our stuff where it belonged. I had called ahead to request wardrobe boxes, and apparently my husband didn't know that he needed to ask for them (I was at the new house) so we didn't get them while they were needed, but they did leave us a few. However they didn't leave the bar that goes in them, so they were essentially just massive boxes. We ended up paying $625 including tip for 2 mattresses, a couch, a bookcase, 2 chairs, 2 cube units and a dresser to be moved about 10 miles. I'm not sure if that's on par with local moving costs. I still wouldn't hire them again based on the experience with the packers, but all in all, the movers were easy to work with and were nice guys. Drayke was very nice and communicative. My only petty complaint is that everything we had was addressed to my husband, and everything was in his name - but he had literally nothing to do with any of it. I booked the entire thing while he was deployed, and I was the sole point of contact for the move. read more

Are they still in business? I called twice, just an answering machine and no call back. I used them several times over the past 20 years but no call back recently. read more

Don't use these guys because they hire young inexperienced guys who break your things & know that you are placing all your brand new furniture in storage. I took the time to carefully wrap all my furniture myself. They knew I would not notice the broke furniture until I moved back in my house months later. When I called & spoke to John I sent him photos and told him how upset I was. He told me he would submit a claim to his insurance and I never heard from him. read more

I had an excellent experience with Discount Movers. I hired a two-man team to move me out of an apartment in San Diego (third floor, no elevator) up to an apartment in LA (with a pretty big walk from the freight elevator to the unit). They got the whole move done in under six hours! The team was friendly (without being TOO friendly) and helpful, and the rate was well below what I was quoted elsewhere. I moved during COVID-19, and the movers wore masks and took necessary precautions. Highly recommend! read more

Good: On time, fast, hardworking(2of 3). Bad: They did get a little lazy/complacent when going up and down the stairs and ended up hitting my walls, ceiling, and banisters in multiple places. Had to go back later and touch up with paint. read more

I am disappointed in our move experience with Discount Movers. For our move,we had our own UHaul truck, but our building required movers, and Discount Movers was on their approved list, so we hired them to essentially load our truck. To start the morning, they showed up an hour after the scheduled time, high, smelling of weed with a pipe in their company truck. They continued to be unprofessional with frequent profanity, with one mover talking about being out until 3am and sleeping until his boss called to wake him up. I'm terms of moving, we had our stuff well packed in moving boxes and suitcase and we're told all our furniture would be wrapped, padded, and loaded. About half our furniture got wrapped, and the movers left half the bags of furniture pads that we got for the move unopened. They stacked everything on top of our one box clearly labeled fragile. Our dining room table was damaged because it was not wrapped or padded. I am grateful that we had our own UHaul truck because I would not have felt that our stuff was safe if it was moved by them in their truck, and I would not recommend them for moving. I have been updated that all employees in regards to our move have been terminated. Also, John and James (owners/supervisor/managers) were easy to contact and straightforward to deal with. I feel the company would be better off if they had movers that accurately represented them. read more

I was very impressed by these guys. The person I spoke with wanted a basic inventory to assess the right amount of time for the move. They showed up on time and moved my two-bedroom townhouse out and within the 3 hours they quoted. Very hard working, reliable and overall a bunch of really good guys. I would absolutely use them again! read more

I recently hired Discount Movers twice. Each time, the guys who showed up to help were friendly (but not that creepy, overly-friendly that you get sometimes), professional and SO FAST. Ashton, Kyle, and their teams were WONDERFUL. The only reason this is not a 5-star review is that both times, there were problems with the truck. The first time, I had to be rescheduled to the following day, and the second time the guys had to move all of my 2-bedroom apartment's worth of stuff from one truck to another. They handled it so well, even in the heat of summer, and ended up getting us a discount on our rate. Overall, I would probably still hire these guys again. read more

These young kids showed up 2 hours late, then took them another 30 minutes to get started. I requested 4 guys, they sent 3. I caught 1 of the guys out front of my building talking on his cell phone while I'm paying him to wrap and move my furniture. They damaged an expensive credenza because they didn't wrap it properly and were basically not careful. They argued with me about moving a $17,000 sofa, they wanted to shove it in an elevator that was too small. Anyone with an ounce of common sense could tell it wouldn't fit. It's been 3 month since my move and they still haven't returned my phone calls about being compensated for the damaged they did to my credenza. I would NOT recommend this company read more

I wrote this review over 6 months ago and just realized I never posted it! I had a fantastic experience with Discount Movers! Ryan and his partner truly went above and beyond for me. They were flexible, very respectful of my belongings and space, and offered to help out with things that I hadn't initially asked of them. It was the best moving experience I've ever had and their pricing is extremely competitive. read more

You have to keep a VERY CLOSE eyeon these movers...your belonging may not all "show-up" wherever you have them move your possessions...

My brother and I had a great experience with Discount Movers. My brother had used them before for a small move in the community, but this move was from San Diego to Los Angeles and was an entire household of furniture and goods. I also want to mention that the temperature was 110 degrees in Los Angeles. The team of Jay, Luis and Kai worked so hard, were polite and very careful, and efficient. We had a very good experience. read more

Our office was moving and we needed fast, reasonably priced and punctual moving company. Discount Movers provided us with all of this. The movers: James, Mike H. and Connor were friendly and listened to our concerns. The move itself was flawless and we truly appreciated the professionalism and labor-saving aspect of the entire move. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who wants a move done quickly and efficiently. read more

I hate moving just as much as the next person, so I naturally was dreading finding movers for all my furniture. After reading the good reviews on yelp (and because they were cheaper than Priority Moving), I gave them a call and set up a time from 8-10am with two movers. I was a little uneasy when I called a few days before and they told me they had to move my time to 10-12pm (were they ever going to tell me this if I hadn't called??). The day-of, they were really late. They didn't end up coming until around 1pm which lucky for them I had a lot of cleaning to do at my old place, so I wasn't as bothered as I should have been. So after all that I bet you are wondering why I gave them 4 stars. Well, it turns out they had a really rough morning move with difficult customers which got them delayed, so they ended up throwing in an extra moving guy for me free of cost. That was excellent! They were really fast and got me moved out and moved in within a couple hours with no broken or scratched furniture. (I did notice that they left the truck unattended for brief periods of time and placed my wood dresser on the sidewalk without any padding or anything under it. Not a big deal for me since my dresser isn't that expensive and old, but something to keep in mind if you have expensive wood furniture pieces). Overall they got the job done and that's what mattered most, and I would definitely use them for future moves! read more

Discount movers are amazing! I got a quick quote on yelp, a more detailed quote on the phone, and paid a little over the quoted price due to drive time (long distance move from SD to Thousand Oaks). They were definitely worth it. They made my move so much easier and less stressful. James and Matt took such good care of all my stuff. They were very professional and incredibly helpful. They took great care of me. 10/10 would recommend them to anyone for a move. I even recommended them to a friend after my move and they got awesome service as well. I will definitely be using them again in the future for any of my moving needs. read more

Third time using Discount Movers and still extremely satisfied with them! There were two movers for my one bedroom move this time. My first two moves with this company both had 3 movers each time, even though they quoted 2. This time around, I didn't realize that I had accumulated more stuff - I definitely should have requested 3. It would've made the move much easier overall. Super friendly and professional, these guys got it moving from the moment they got here, until the moment they left. The price is definitely affordable and I'm looking forward to asking them for their help in the future! read more

WOW! I am BEYOND impressed with this moving company. From every phone interaction to the speediness (and friendliness) of the movers on the day-of, everything was 5 stars. The guys even lugged all my stuff up 3 flights of stairs when the elevator was being used by someone else. They were awesome! I'll never use another moving company. THANK YOU AGAIN!!! read more

Great experience! They communicated before they showed up, easy and responsive when confirming details, were very fast and accommodating!

I talked to 'John' after talking to a few other moving companies who charged more, and didn't have 3 men & lots of X-tra charges. Plus they take debit or Credit Cards ( Why not? ) When others only took Cash or Money orders. Easiest move I ever set up. I will give another review after my move this month.

I am a local home stager and unexpectedly needed a house emptied and inventory put in my storage before Friday. Even though they were very booked the worked me into the schedule this afternoon. Excellent customer service, prompt, courteous, careful and worked quickly. The prices are very reasonable. Definitely will be part of my business partners. read more

We hired Discount Movers to move our family belongings about 40 miles to our new home. During the move one mover came across a dish holding some of my wife's jewelry. At our new home, unwrapping the dish we found my wife's diamond wedding ring missing, along with another diamond/ruby ring and a gold bracelet. My wife knew who packed the dish and when questioned the packer admitted wrapping the dish, said he recalled a watch in the dish, but just couldn't recall what else was in the dish. When we took the matter to Discount Movers they immediately denied any responsibility, and even seemed reluctant to follow the matter up with their employee. A company that tolerates thieving employees and is reluctant to even discuss the issue is a company anyone hires at their own risk. As a side note, their "not to exceed" moving quote of $3,700 came to almost $6,000. And some items were never moved. I wish the best of luck to anyone hiring Discount Movers of Anaheim. read more

Buyer Beware! It says 'discount' for a reason. I recently moved from San Diego to Los Angeles. The quote was reasonable. I crossed my fingers. The movers showed up well over an hour late. Three young gents under the age of 25 and two of them were wearing sandals. I have no complaints about their work ethic. I did have to ask them to blanket wrap several pieces of furniture. I worried that table and dresser legs were not removed. I also worried that none of my possessions were being recorded on paper. No stickers. No proof that they were on the truck. In the end, I was missing $500 worth of bed pillows. The email I sent to them asking about my pillows was never returned. I'm thinking what proof do I have that I even had those pillows? None. You get what you pay for. And if it's too good to be true - it most likely is. read more

They were exceptionally quick. I'm an operations guy and like things to be really efficient, so am not easily impressed either, but they really seemed to move efficiently and not waste anytime. Took them (3 movers) like 2 hours maybe a little less to move a 2 bedroom apartment from 2nd story storage into the house and in all the proper rooms. Interesting note is that I was there observing and noticed that they kept on pushing each other to be efficient, move things quickly, and not take a break. It was almost as if I was in a gym and people were trying to push each other to lift more. Really impressed at the work ethic of the team. Only reason it is a 4 star is because there were some small issues being very careful were things got scratched. That said, they were fully accountable and fessed up when things got a bit scratched/damaged and nothing was a big deal, so we didn't even claim them. read more

Discount Movers has a young, upbeat website that looks like your move will be handled professionally. Because of that I contacted them to do a small office move for my company. The gruff, short old fella who answered the phone could not have been less like the website experience. He spoke low and fast and was very hard to understand. I also found him to be rude, short and quoted me a price inside of the first 20 seconds of speaking with him. There's no way he knew enough about our move to make that quote and couldn't get me off the phone fast enough. No thanks! Next! UPDATE IN RESPONSE TO BUSINESSES RESPONSE BELOW: Yes, this absolutely happened. Just last week, in fact. I called the number from your website so there's no mistake. The experience was exactly as described and you've only further damaged your business in my estimation by trying to deny/joke/bluff the impacts of my review away. Privately, you sent me a message asking me to call your office to discuss my review which I absolutely will not do now, since I've already taken enough of Discount Movers' abuse. For the record, I don't even know what a "SuperYelper" is. I've posted 27 reviews in 11 years so I'm guessing that's not me. Listen, had you simply PM'd me to discuss I would have happily done so and maybe even wiped my review and given you a chance to quote my office move. Everybody is allowed to have a bad day. But now, combining these two very negative experiences with Discount Movers, I have no choice but to let my review stand as it illustrates your company's attitude accurately. I have been a professional buyer since 1989 and I know when I'm dealing with a legitimate business and when I'm not. Good day. read more

This is our second time using this company. Happy with them every time! Yesterday James , Emmanu, and Nick helped us with an office move. They are on time , reliable and work hard! They even went out of their way to help us deliver a printer that we could have not moved on our own. Just a real professional Comapny. Nothing was damaged, our stuff got where it needed to be . We are happy! Thanks guys! read more

I first wanna say thanks to Ashton, Cesar & Raul. You guys did a great job and got us moved in to our new place in record time. My wife and I were moving out of our small 1 bedroom apartment downtown into our new place in North Park. The movers showed up right on time and ready to work. They moved all our stuff out of our old place and into our new place in 1.5 hours. Now, for those of you who see low star rating it's because they weren't prepared for the move. You must have everything packed up in boxes and follow the simple moving sheet that they provide. Don't overload the big boxes with heavy stuff and if your have expensive furniture you should take it upon yourself to move those items or thoroughly protect them with moving blankets and visqueen. Thanks again for such a great experience...... read more

This review is over one year late but I think it is necessary to insure others know what they are getting themselves into. I saw the great Yelp ratings, so gave Discount Movers a call to move me from Vista to Carmel Valley. I was specifically looking for a company that hooked up washer and dryers since some don't do so. John the manager told me his company does so, but on the day of the move he retracted this AFTER the move was in process and because his movers balked. Aside from that, the following problems also occurred: 1) A hot water hookup to the washer broke, and his guys could not find where the water turnoff valve was in the house. Spent over an hour trying to figure that out, on my dime, while water gushed out all over the garage. 2) A large piece of glass that protected the top of a dresser was mistakenly left at the house I was moving away from. 3) The movers did me a "favor" and agreed to hook up my washer and dryer at the new house. But they hooked up the hot water to the cold intake, and vice versa. They also did not hook up the dryer vent, so I had to call another company to fix this. 4) My two queen beds did not "feel" right upon laying on them. When I looked under the beds, both had parts missing that held the bedframes up. 5) I am not sure if the problems I encountered were specific to the moving team I was assigned, but it was a bad experience. I noticed that a couple days before the move, the team lead assigned to my move was changed, so maybe the "A" team was assigned to someone else and I was given the "F" team? read more

I really don't like to complain, but I felt this had to be done. I hired Discount Movers in May after reading several Yelp reviews and also had personal referrals from friends. Up until then I had always moved my stuff by myself and rented a U-Haul. They sent two movers, both worked very hard, and they worked through the entire 4-hour minimum. The move was a pretty simple one, 1 bedroom condo downtown to a 2 bedroom apartment about 1 mile away. I wasn't totally impressed with the move, boxes clearly labeled were stacked in the wrong place, a few kitchen items were broken, etc. But I thought that the guys worked hard and believed that they were pressed for time. And, this being my first "professional" moving experience I figured these kinds of things happen and overall I thought the move went pretty well. I tipped each mover $50. I didn't ,however, expect to have my 47" flat screen tv broken. What sucks is that the damage wasn't apparent until the tv was plugged in, so by the time I got it hooked up it was too late and the movers were long gone. When I turned the tv on, I just got a bluish screen with a huge gash in the top right hand side - obvious that something hit it...hard. Guessing it happened in the moving truck, as it was not wrapped like some of our other less- breakable belongings were. I checked the contract that my husband signed early that morning. Somewhere near the bottom of the contract it states (in tiny print) that their insurance company will cover .60 cents per pound for broken items. I thought, that can't be right. I didn't panic right away. I thought, of course they'll want to fix the problem. No, they will not and they did not. It was explained to me that they were not responsible for anything other than the .60 cents per pound the insurance company will cover and that is why they are able to charge less than other companies. So, in other words, "you get what you pay for". After several phone calls and emails back and forth with Jerry, the owner, they decided to send me a check for $180. That is not a typo. Yes, they felt that my two-year old 47" flat screen television was worth $180. I'm not sure what the logic was on their math equation, but they somehow figured that $60 (what the insurance co. will cover) times three is fair. So when the insurance claim comes in, if it is even filed, they will get that $60 paid to them. So, they really only paid me $120. I have not cashed the check. I wish I knew what to do from here. It just doesn't seem right. I feel like I got a huge slap in the face. If I knew how to post pictures I'd put some up of the broken tv, of Discount Movers' $180 check, and the email correspondence on here for you to see. Tips for future users of Discount Movers: 1. When asked to sign the moving contract the morning of the move, ask what the insurance coverage that you're signing for means and if you have the option to pay a bit more for additional coverage. This was not offered/explained to us. 2. If you have anything that you really don't want broken, or can't really afford to replace, move it yourself. Leave the heavier, less valuable items to the movers. read more

One bedroom apartment. Two flights of stairs. Three men and a van. Move across town. Good price.No hassle. Problem free move on a last minute reservation. One improvement: I had a lot of antiques that they needed to be reminded to wrap carefully several times throughout the move. These old treasures are valuable and fragile, even when they look old and sturdy. One broken hoinge on a storage ottoman. Good attitudes, simple move. Would recommend. read more

This is the first time I have ever had a bad experience with Discount Movers. My family and I have used Discount Movers for years exclusively and have always been happy about their service. This time when my husband and I moved, however, the head mover complained the entire time. He tried to convince us to deassemble and reassemble our bed ourselves to stay within the 4-hour required booking. He brought this up eight times during the move hoping we would change our mind. This was especially irritating because we had spent the last three days moving all of our things over and left only a few pieces of furniture for the company to take care of, so there was no way they could get anywhere close to 4 hours considering we were moving about 10 minutes away from our old place. Tellingly, the entire move and assembly took about 2 hours. He also made several complaints about my complex, saying it was difficult to move into. After he complained to the extent that I had the complex book them an entire elevator to themselves, he proceeded to say they didn't want to use it. He also brought up tipping them several times and even said they get 20% regularly for gratuity when he handed over the receipt. The only reason I tipped anything was because I didn't want to prevent the other mover from getting tipped, but normally I wouldn't have tipped anything after hearing his complaints and bad-mouthing other moving companies for two hours. This company used to be great but I likely wouldn't use them again. read more

Say, hypothetically, that your marriage has gone down in flames and you need to move your meager possessions from your tiny "divorcing man flat" into your now vacant and cavernous "family home". I picked discount movers based on the Yelp reviews. First impression was very good. The phone interview went well. The agent on the phone asked in depth questions to ascertain how much furniture I had to move. They were able to move me on my preferred date and time. we agreed on two movers working on a set hourly rate with a 4 hour minimum. Movers arrived at the back end of the promised window. (three movers showed instead of the agreed upon two( no extra charge). So far so good One thing that I did not realize, the movers only move. They do not pack. I had already packed 95% of my stuff just to expedite the process, but somehow I did not understand from my previous phone conversation that they would not even carry packing material. I still consider this my fault, but thought I should mention it so prospective customers ensure they ask for packing services when they call. The movers were friendly and professional. They did provide the promised hanging garment boxes. There were a couple of cons: -moving truck broke a sprinkler head when backing into my driveway (I didn't notice the break until the next morning when I awoke to a geyser pouring into my driveway. It was an easy fix. I just had to replace a broken section of pvc, but still inconvenient) -Secondly, I had a pub table that the movers had disassembled but it appears they did not use any tools to reassemble it because the legs were very wobbly and all had to be tightened. -I had to unpack the garment boxes immediately because they wanted them back. That was inconvenient because I was also trying to direct location of furniture. Also, it just seemed kind of low end. I understand that it is called Discount Movers for a reason, and that I probably should not have been surprised. It's a positive review, but I've had better and I've had worse. read more

Roughest crew I had to-date! Two small appliances damaged, one small furniture broke, a chest bent, scratches and loose screws. Three hour minimum and the movers were rushing to be done within two hours. No shrink film wraps or blankets, won't move small items such as vacuum, microwave so good luck with those yourself. Luckily I'm only going to use the same furniture for another year. If you need to move fast and don't care about your belongings then maybe. If you have quality furniture and don't want them to be damaged then prob steer away. read more

I've moved a few times before, and it usually takes me and 5 friends about 6-8 hours to pack and unpack the Uhaul. It's a pain in the neck, you have to call in favors, and it costs a ton of money to rent the truck and feed everyone. This was a far superior experience. They moved my entire house, start to finish, in 2 hours. That includes drive time. The 3 guys they sent over ran at full speed the entire time, didn't break or drop anything, and were very polite. My only complaint was that a few boxes were left behind. They told us it was because of insurance requirements. I was annoyed at first, but then I saw that most the stuff they left behind was improperly packed (not taped shut or breakables in trash bags) or had objects that could damage other items (carpet cleaner filled with liquid and glass jars filled with sauces). Overall it was super cheap, and i would do it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! read more
