Ben and his team came in clutch to help us move from Roseville (Greater Sacramento area) to the Bay Area. We originally booked with 916 Fast Movers but they could not provide our moving services the day of, but they recommended Formosa Mover and booked them for our moving. I am so glad they did - this team of two did an amazing job wrapping all of our belongings from storage and moving it all into a 3 story home. They also protected our new floors and wore shoe coverings while moving our things into our home. They did their best given the narrow stairway obstacle. The pricing was highly reasonable and worked within my budget. I'd highly recommend this team for your moving needs! read more

We are very happy with the service from Formosa Mover. Ben and his team handled it with great care on my grand piano from start to finish. They were friendly and easy to work with. Moving a grand piano is no small task, and they treated it with great care. Great experience and I highly recommend Formosa Mover! read more

Today, we hired Ben and Chen to help us move, and the whole process was incredibly efficient! They were not only professional and diligent but also very friendly and approachable. They even packed items we weren't sure how to handle or hadn't gotten around to organizing--everything was done with great care! Most importantly, all of our belongings arrived in perfect condition, and there wasn't a single scratch or bump anywhere in the house. Their tools were fully equipped, and their truck was spacious. The entire move went smoothly without any delays or overtime--they were truly trustworthy and reliable. With their level of quality service, the price was very much reasonable. Highly recommended! read more

Kevin and Victor with Formosa Movers are AWESOME moving guys!! Tina with scheduling is super nice, too! They let me know in advance that they would be a few minutes late and they more than made up for the slight delay by working quickly, efficiently and nonstop to move my Bay Area business location within two hours. Thank you Formosa Movers--I will tell everyone how great your team is to work with!!! read more

TL;DR - affordable, would recommend, but wouldn't say highest quality or care I contacted 25 moving companies for a move from Mountain View to Palo Alto. Formosa Mover had competitive pricing and only required a two hour minimum vs the typical three hour minimum. I paid $110/hour for two people and $40 for the truck/gas. The entire move took 2.5 hours and cost $315 (110+110+55+40). I also tipped $40. All in, I spent $355, which was very affordable when considering some of the other highly rated companies. I had moved all small items myself (my entire closet, kitchen, artwork, etc) and only needed my large items relocated. I moved from a one bedroom, upstairs apartment to a two story house. I had my kitchen table and chairs, couch and end tables, patio furniture, bed, desk and chair, two mirrors, a bike, and a couple of crates to move. Big ticket items. Some of the things I did like: They showed up about 25 minutes later than planned due to traffic but were prompt to inform me. They were quick and efficient and didn't dilly dally between locations. For the most part (not always, but mostly), they used carpets/foot covers so they weren't stepping on my floor. They wrapped most of my items and used blankets to protect my couch. Some of the things I didn't love: I have an incredibly large white rug. It's pure white and was in perfect condition. To save time, only one person moved the rug, but because it's so large, it was dragged along the ground (photo included). While moving items upstairs, they knocked a framed photo and damaged the wooden frame. They also made minimal scuffs on various walls. I had to take apart my bedframe myself and put it back together, which is a service many of the other companies provide, but was not provided/offered. After they'd finished, I spoke with them and expressed my dissatisfaction with the damaged frame and the dirty rug. For the frame, they asked if I had a sharpie and then asked if I lived with family or rented, and said if the person had an issue with the damage, to contact the company. For the rug, they asked if I had anything available to clean it. Not sure if they intended to try to clean it then and there with my products. Regardless, neither of these solutions felt professional. I'm not sure if I would've been happier with a discounted service, because I'd still have a damaged frame and a dirty rug, but there wasn't even an apology. They did the work, they put in the time, and I'm glad to be moved. However, I'm fairly certain it would've been a much longer (and much more costly) move, had I not moved the bulk of items / smaller items myself. read more

They showed up on time. They moved everything carefully within the quoted time. The pricing was very transparent and good.

I had a lovely moving experience with Ben and his team! They assisted in packing my furniture and loading my ABF U-Pack Relocubes. They are very efficient, did a careful packing job and were reasonably priced. Ben was flexible when I found out that the HOA in my complex wouldn't allow parking of the relocubes and I had to have them load them at the service center. I highly recommend Formosa moving to anyone! read more

Formosa Mover - Movers Near Me

I need a movers to help me move items out of my storage unit. The rate I got quoted was really good when I have shopped around. Formosa was professional and timely. They even finished moving my items early despite a delay and charged appropriately. None of my items were damaged in the moved and they were able to help to move items in the appropriate spaces. I would highly recommend using Formosa as movers in the Bay Area. read more

First time using Formosa mover. Referred by a friend, and really happy that I had them there with me on the moving day! I was packing all by myself the night before and by the time they arrived, I was already exhausted. But when they started moving, I was amazed how fast and organized they are. They have this red running rug thing that covers all their walk ways. Which will protect the floor and carpet in each room and hall way. This definitely gave me a peace of mind, cus my biggest concern was my new home carpet. Then I literally just stood/sit around the entire time. No need to lay my finger on any thing. There were times I figured maybe I could at least help to hold stuff, and they just told me they got it, and I did't need to help. This is the easiest moving experience for me, and after move, I still have enough energy to unpack. Felt bad for the movers tho, as one bedroom apt, I do have A LOT of stuff and they have to move things to second floor that's a lot of work, but they did it fast and no complaints! I'm impressed and highly recommend! read more

Formosa Mover showed up in time and work quickly and efficiently to get my move done.

Great experience overall! The team is responsive and communicative in the booking stage, and the move itself went very smoothly. Special shoutout to Gong Shifu & Jacky who handled our household goods move with courtesy and efficiency. They maneuvered some really big furniture up a staircase that is 1/4 covered by low ceiling. I was also super impressed that they were able to dis/reassemble my son's Ikea bunk bed; we bought it cheap but boy the assembly was a nightmare when my husband and I first put it together (you get what you paid for...). We were worried that the movers would have trouble with dis/reassembly just due to how badly the assembly design is. We are super relieved that Gong Shifu and Jacky were able figure this bed out in a timely manner (picture of re-assembled bunk bed attached). Thank you!!!! read more

I highly recommend Formosa Mover! They are PROS and literally take on some of the burden (and STRESS) of moving. We partnered with Ben and Carlos (referral from our Realtor) on a long distance move from the Bay Area to Los Angeles, and in less than ONE week the walkthrough, estimate, and actual move was DONE! Other reviews mentioned this - that they rolled out a RED protection mat up the two flights of stairs (a really nice touch). They are efficient, prompt, careful, and all about getting the job done. You've gotta give Ben a call! Thank you Ben and Carlos! read more

This is a small family owneed business so response was really quick. Quote was transparent, quick, and price was great. I called around asking five moving companies in the area and this one gave me the best quote. They arrived a few minutes before scheduled time just to go over what we want to move, and helped wrap everything nicely. Not a single scratch. Super efficient too. The owner said minimum tip $10 per hour per person but I think they deserve way more than that. read more

Thank you to Ben , Jacky, and Hsu for greatly reducing the stress associated with a move.

We used Formosa Mover to move from a 2nd floor apartment in San Francisco to a home away from Bay Area this weekend. Our furnitures were very heavy. Ben and Jack were pro. They packed everything for us including a piano. Everything was delivered safe and sound. Not a single item was damaged or broken. Like other reviewers, I loved the red carpet they rolled out in my new location to protect the floor and carpet. It was a 8-hour move on a very hot day. Ben and Jack worked efficiently and refused any help from us. We so appreciated their politeness and professionalism. Most of all, they were just simply the best. We would definitely refer them to friends and family. Thank you Ben and Jack form the bottom of my heart. read more

Great experience with this moving company! After talking to a few moving companies, we decided to go with Formosa because they provided the best customers service. First, they sent a representative to the house to make sure all our belongings will fit into their huge moving van in one load. Then they getting back to us with a reasonable proposal. After that, we pick a date and is all set to go. On the moving day, the van arrives promptly and the movers work very hard to fit all our belonging into the van. They carefully secure and wrap all our valuables and furniture in blankets and plastic and handle everything with care. It amazes me that not one item breaks with this move and we have over 200 boxes and tons of furnitures and antique pieces. Retain pieces of furniture need to take it apart for loading and they put it back up for us when arrives, it's a lot of work and the movers are so patient and skillful putting every single piece back together! Special thanks to Tina who has been extremely helpful all along. She even call and check with me during the move to make sure everything goes smoothly. I highly recommend Formosa Movers to anyone who need the service, they are simply reliable , reasonable and dependable. Moving to another State is very stressful and they make is easy for us! read more
