    Crewed showed up with 2 movers instead of the 3 I hired. The change was allegedly because crew member had high temperature (covid times) but this was not communicated until they arrived which I found extremely unprofessional. In this circumstances, they should also plan to have backup crew given moves are very time sensitive (I had a 4 month old baby with us during the move) Crew was nice but not very experienced. They did not do a walk through to analyze items as its common, did not communicate start time, and did not protect at-risk walls and corners until I requested. Long story short, took 5 hours to load up (expected 3 max - all furniture was already disassembled and everything packed), 2:30 travel (I arrived in 45 min by car) and 2:15 to unload for a total of over 10 hours for a 2 bedroom move. During the move, they ran out of blankets and attempted to load delicate items without blankets. I called management throughout the day to intervene and no action was taken until many calls and threats to write a review about it. They promised an extra worker a few times during the day but he did not show up until 5pm. A manager also showed up and helped address the situation by bringing blankets and urging the crew to follow protocol. At the end of the day, crew was leaving and had left stair runner inside so I had to run and get them, which shows they did not inspect the final conditions. Manager offered a fixed price of 3 hours load and 2 unload at the 2 man crew price which was fair and showed they are willing to work with you to fix the issue. However, the offer also wasn't much cheap than I originally expected with an experienced crew, and I had to help them move the entire time. (the cost was $1,200 +tip which expected for 2bdr local move). Our move lasted almost 10 hours when it should have taken 5-6-max with an experienced crew and the original 3 person crew that was hired. I would not used them again, but the company does have experienced movers as I had used them before. I guess it just depends the crew you get. Ps: Vanessa called at the end of the day to follow up and said feedback was noted but no action was taken. PS2: his was my second move with them. The first one was spectacular and I had left them a 5 star review on Google. My advice to management is to review your crew and protocol to make sure they are being professional, trained, and adhering to industry best practices.

    Packed live ant bait with kitchen items.

    Truly the worst experience I've ever had with movers. I had scheduled a 5 person crew and they showed up with 4 people. They were careless with our furniture, including throwing it over a railing and banging it down every single stair of a staircase. They packed live ant baits with kitchen items which caused ant poison to spill throughout the box. They dented a wine fridge, chipped a table, dented a sideboard, along with many other damaged goods. On top of that, they carelessly chipped/damaged every single stair of a 30-stair wooden staircase by banging dollies and furniture up and down it. I flagged these issues with them over a week ago and they still have yet to provide any form of resolution. Repairing the damage they have caused will cost thousands of dollars. I will never trust Golden Gate Relocation with my move again, and neither should you.

    Although we had a few scheduling incidents the moving day The company really care about their customers They made a refund and sent flowers to my new place to made up for the scheduling incident Golden Bay Movers is a company that really cares about customers satisfaction Hola lol definitely use this service again

    Very large truck great movers very friendly. Nice and clean would recommend to any one who needs to move. Price is amazing. Best service I've had in a long time. Very respectful and the set up my desks bed and furniture. Very happy with outcome.

    Finished job

    Unfortunately needed to update this to reflect new information upon unpacking. Sadly little care was taken in actually packing the few boxes the crew were responsible for taking care of. Besides a couple missing screws, everything seemed to be flawless. Until I opened up the boxes and realized things were carelessly tossed into boxes even though extra bubble wrap was provided by me. Additionally, computer monitors which had original packaging provided were thrown into boxes with none of the protective material provided (instead material was nowhere to be found). One monitor had 3 vertical scratches across the front. Have filed claim and will update to reflect experience. Also an FYI, it's recommended looking up standard mover tipping rates, as traditionally these are not percentage-based, as you might be led to believe at time of job.

    how do they fit so much?!

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!

    My experience was the opposite of many of the less positive reviews…read more Planning and scheduling were stellar. Jason answered all of my questions prior to the move and during the move. Their pricing is competitive and more affordable than all of the places I consulted for a mid-distance move. Lee and Yu arrived just as scheduled at 8:30am. They got right to moving, I was blown away by how quickly they mobilized because my old place has a small elevator and not the easiest to maneuver, especially considering I lived on the 3rd floor. Yes, there was expected traffic between destinations, but the unloading at the new destination was just as efficient despite a very long day of moving. The final cost was lower than I expected and there were no surprises from what I was quoted initially. Please tip these guys well - I tipped more than the recommended hourly tip rate. They work hard, carefully, and efficiently. I am recommending them 10/10 to my friends and to the Yelp community.

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.

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.

After experiencing their service with 3 movers I definitely recommend it and Friends Moving. He quoted me three hours min and they finished exactly at 3 hours, although I kept them for 30 min to help me build an IKEA bed. They arrived 15 min early and called me. The first stop was a storage unit where Tony and team helped get out a sofa, shelf and boxed we needed for the new place. They were quick, careful and efficient. I thought it would take an hour to move things around, get the stuff and pack other stuff back but we were in and out in 30 min! 3 movers is a plus. Second stop at my house to pick up my daughter's bedroom. Again very quick, careful wrapping and put into the truck. Finally the move into the new room/office. They covered the wood floor and stairs to protect it. They took good direction on where to put stuff, and got things unpicked quickly. The only hitch was a couch that was a challenge to get around the corner of the stairs and light. They ended up lifting it over a railing. They did slightly scuff the wall, which was no big deal as it just needed a little paint touch up I would do later (things happen during a move, if minor like this folks need to understanding, as it's not a big deal. Everything else was good and they finished right at 3 hours, but as I was building a queen sized IKEA bed I had them help me for 30 more minutes and so glad I did, we made quick work of it.

The movers handled my belongings far more carelessly than I expected. They were rough with my mattress, which was frustrating to watch because you expect it to be handled with basic care, not dragged around and treated like it doesn't matter. On top of that, my dining table and chairs were damaged during the move, and the shelf on my Traeger was broken. Seeing multiple items damaged during one move was incredibly disappointing and upsetting. What has made the whole experience even worse is what happened afterward. I am still waiting on the insurance claim to be resolved, which has only added more frustration to an already bad situation. Instead of feeling like this was handled professionally and with urgency, the process has felt stressful and drawn out. I also dealt with Vanessa, the owner, and unfortunately, that did not improve the experience. I understand accidents can happen during a move, but when people are trusting you with their furniture and personal belongings, care and accountability matter. Based on my experience, I would not use Friends Moving Service again.
