Eli the mgmt is very pleasant to work with and he goes out of his way to make sure you get the best price possible.

The movers were unprepared not at all what we were told. The experience was terrible. We have been over charged and cannot get ahold of customer service. Terrible experience!!!!! read more

We had an excellent experience with Gorilla Moving Co. They disassembled all our furniture, wrapped up the wood furniture so it would not get scratched and took good care of everything. In the new house they moved all our boxes and furniture to the rooms they belonged to and assembled our furniture. We will definitely use them again and recommend them to friends and family. read more

We were very happy and pleased with Gorilla Moving Company. The rates were phenomenal, and the two movers that loaded our truck, Chris H. and Matt, were incredibly hard working and very careful with our items. In fact, the moving company that unloaded the truck at our destination were amazed at the efficiency and detail of the loading, and it made their job very easy to unload the truck. The entire process from booking to loading the truck was very easy. We highly recommend Gorilla Moving Co. for any moving needs, and we will be using them in the future. From Daryn the owner to Chris and Matt, they were fantastic! Rick and Kathy G. read more

Moving can be a stressful event. Not only because of the things that need to be relocated, but sometimes you are also moving your heart. GMC is very much aware of this, and Daryn (and co.) expertly moved our belongings and eased our stresses as well. For such outstanding services, I'd say his prices are the best on the market. I've moved several times in my life, and the experience with GMC is by far the best yet. I wholeheartedly recommend Gorilla Moving Company. They are what you'd expect a moving company should be...and more. read more

I wish you could do zeros for reviews. Where do I begin??!!! We used this company when they moved my mother in law back in April 2021. They did a great job...then. My daughter moved today July 31st. I decided to contact Gorilla Moving Co again as they did a great job. I called him July 13 and Daryn told me to email him inventory of what needs to be moved. He also told me he owns a moving truck and he charges $65 flat fee. I accepted. I emailed him the inventory info on July 14. He never responded to my email so I texted. NO response. I called and left a few messages, texted and emailed AGAIN. NO RESPONSE!! I decided I'd call from my work number since he wouldn't recognize the number. He answered. I told him how worried I was that he was not going to do this move. He told me "I am a man of my word. If I told you I'd be there, I will be there because I am a man of my word" So I said ok. See you Saturday at 10:30. He also told me someone had swiped his door from truck and truck is no longer available. So my husband reserved a U-Haul truck. Daryn said he would contact us first thing in the morning to talk last minute details. My husband arrived at my daughters apt with truck at 9:30 am. No call from Darin. He called Daryn at 10;00 and my husband said he sounds like he was asleep and said I'm stuck in traffic I will be late. My husband called him quite a few times and Daryn kept saying he was in traffic. Had to be a lie because it took my husband 40 minutes to get to city and there was no traffic. Daryn said he would message my husband when he was closer. Finally Daryn said the coworker he was using was not informed of move and would take him 2-3 hours to get there. So he lied the entire time!!! He NEVER SHOWED UP!!!! My husband told him he wants nothing to do with him or his movers. Daryn even tried to get us to use a different moving company!! My husband had to do the move with my daughter and her roommate. I cannot stress enough DO NOT USE THIS MOVING COMPANY!!! He will lie to you and leave you stranded. I tried calling him but the COWARD would not answer!! GORILLA MOVING COMPANY IS A FRAUD COMPANY AND SO IS DARYN!!!! read more

See all

Worst experience we have ever come across! Hired them back on 6/19/2019 for moving date 6/28 (today) owner Darren called and discussed where to meet, time etc and even left voice mail last nite letting us know we are all set for 9am today! NEVER SHOWED!!!!!We called went right to voice mail left message, no call back, texted, never texted back! Who does this to people, especially a day as stressful as moving! Moving help.com couldn't even get a hold of him and they were useless on how to resolve this problem and said we can cancel or look on their site for other movers and pay what they asking! BEWARE of this company!!!! If I could give NO star I would! read more

There was great communication from the start, and the owner that I was in contact with the entire time was very laid back and seemed to be a good person. The two guys that came to help, they went above and beyond, making sure fragile things were taken care of. They packed the truck very responsibly and like a great game of tetris to save space. They were great guys and all very personable. The moving process is always very stressful and exhausting, and them handling this the way they did really took a lot of that stress away. I couldn't be happier with how it went, and I'll definitely be using them in the future and referring them to everyone I know. read more

HORRIBLE! Late, did not finish the job, unreliable, lie about how long something will take to get a job and will just leave your stuff wherever when they don't finish it, we found things broken, they are non-responsive when trying to get ahold of them, and deceitful. read more

This company did great in helping us move! They were very careful with our delicate pieces and put everything where it needed to go. Also their employees were kind and courteous and very hard workers! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Daryn is extremely unprofessional and unorganize. The day of our move (7/1), Daryn said the crew would come between 7-8am.. 8:30am rolls around and no one has arrived. We call Daryn and he said there was a mix up and the crew would be out by 2:30pm at the latest and he would give us a 50% discount due to the inconvenience and would be in communication with us. At 3pm we had no update from Daryn and no one showed.. we called and texted multiple times but he ignored is completely. With it being a holiday weekend, we were screwed and had to move ourselves. Never once received a call back from Daryn. I DO NOT recommend Gorilla Moving Company. Extreme lack of communication, professionalism, and customer service. I am shocked the business is still operating. After looking at other reviews it appears what happened to us had happened to many other people who hired Gorilla Moving Company. read more

I highly advise against hiring Gorilla Moving Company if you plan on moving. They packed our items in a way that caused thousands of dollars in damages. At first, they seemed willing to work on the damages. I only asked for the money we paid them to pack our moving truck. However, they have now ghosted me and refuse to respond or pay back the fees paid. For example, they did not wrap our 3 glass table tops for coffee/end tables in a blanket or cardboard, and needless to say, they did not survive our 800 mile move. They also failed to wrap multiple items, which resulted in damage upon arrival, including a headboard, dresser drawers, mirror, and flower pots. Despite having access to multiple blankets and cardboard, they did not use them. Please be cautious and avoid using this company for your move. read more

Responsive and did a good job. We had them move furniture around the house, from one floor to another. Very polite and careful with the furniture. read more

Daryn was the saving grace of 2020! Never before have I seen such a hard working, selfless, and compassionate person in my life. My family was in one of the toughest spots due to a national van line blowing off our move and leaving us no time to get our belongings out of a sold house. My wife left a voicemail for Daryn while we were attempting to come up with a solution and even booked another company to come help my Father and I pack a 26' truck. Daryn called back later that evening after finishing up some of his booked jobs, and said if the other company fell through we should call him. As luck would have it, the booked company failed to show up as scheduled. We called Daryn at the absolute last minute and he was out to our site helping within an hour! He re-packed our already half-full truck making it nearly a quarter of the size we had already done! It's like hiring a LEGO master builder for your move! Unfortunately, he had another job committed after packing the truck and was unable to immediately start helping unload into our storage units. But he didn't let that stop him, he arranged to meet us at the storage unit later that evening and proceeded to help unload and pack the storage unit for the next 2 hours. We then repeated the back and forth process over the next day completely taking care of all of our belongings and getting them into local storage. This was a monumental task for the short time frame we had to work with, simply amazing the amount of work Daryn and his staff put in. We had such a great experience we discussed having Gorilla perform our out of state move (3 storage units worth of stuff) going halfway across the country. Within a day or two, Daryn put together a quote and timeline for getting our belongings to us. Something this national van line was unable to achieve with over a full month of preparation. His quote was reasonable, the timeline was great, so we went forward with his plan and proceeded to drive across the country without our stuff for the first time ever. This is where things got crazy. Because of COVID, there was a statewide problem sourcing moving trucks for out of state moves. However Daryn was able to secure one within a few days to begin the project. Gorilla spent a full day preparing our belongings for transport by wrapping them in blankets, consolidating various components and doing whatever possible to make things fit in the truck he had. Unfortunately, fully packed the truck was only able to get about 60% of our belongings. So he proceeded to bring that haul down to us after trying to source another truck for a few days with no success. He arrived less than 2 days later and unloaded into our house and garage within just a few hours. Literally non-stop, he finished the job and turned around back to IL to get the rest. Then we ran into another snag, the truck broke down on the way back and had to go in for repairs. This was further exacerbated by the shortage of trucks problem not being able to get a replacement. That didn't stop Daryn from making this move happen! He was able to source a less preferred vehicle, get it packed, and get a timeline for us to get the remainder of our belongings. Everything was set, he got on the road, planning to arrive in time for a return for Thanksgiving with his family. Of course, due to this being 2020 and so many things going wrong already, the truck had a blowout on the way, and the company took over 9 hours to come repair it! This put his arrival to us on the day before Thanksgiving which meant he would not be able to make it back home to spend his with his family. He didn't let that stop anything though. He got on the road, showed up, unloaded the remainder of our items and completed the job. Daryn never lost his cool, was professional and courteous the entire time. He never complained or tried to come up with excuses for anything. He took responsibility for the job and completed it above our expectations. I would highly recommend Gorilla for any of your local or long distance moving needs. He'll get the job done, has reasonable pricing, and will restore your faith in humanity! Thank you Daryn and Gorilla! read more

Anytime that you move it's always a stressful process. I was so pleased that this was not stressful at all. From the beginning they were in contact with me and set up times, dates, the process, and order. On the moving date they were prompt, quick, professional, and efficient. It is truly an amazing sight to see how fast they can wrap up and move items that would have taken me awhile to do. They hand their own truck which also helped save time. Unloading process was super quick, everything was placed where it needed to be. Communication with everyone was great Price was very affordable I would highly recommend using Gorilla Movers again read more

Daryn and Chris were absolutely fantastic. The BEST help I have received! Daryn (the owner) was responsive to my calls, and did a follow up call the morning of. They were timely, and worked really hard. They moved items from the basement to the first floor and from the 2nd floor to the first. They moved 2 pieces to a storage unit. Daryn, also offered to switch my washer/dryer around so the doors would align, and cleaned out the vent (no charge). This company is fantastic, the are responsive, hard working, and honest guys with great hearts and beyond excellent service. They also are licensed and insured for HVAC, Electrical & Plumbing. They are based out of Algonquin and California. I can't say enough good things, they were the best! read more

I'm glad other people had positive experiences with Gorilla, however I cannot recommend anyone bother trying to do business with them. I had to step in at the last minute to get my mom's move planned, she had to be out of her apartment in 2 days. I called and ended up talking for an hour to Daryn, who seemed like a legitimately nice and caring guy who assured me he and his guys would get the move done. He said he'd come out the next day to survey how much stuff she had so he could plan what time they would start the following morning. He even texted images of his driver's license, insurance, and a recommendation letter to me. I asked if he wanted a deposit for booking the move, and he said no we'd settle up on the move day. So I went out to her apartment the next day and was waiting there during the window of time he said he'd arrive. The window came and went, so I texted him asking if he was still planning to come do the survey. Waited awhile, no response. So I try calling him, his phone went straight to voicemail. I tried several times over the next couple hours and it went straight to voicemail every time, like his phone was off or he blocked my number. And then of course I heard nothing from him on the move day. I don't see what the point was in making me feel secure that this stressful, last minute move was actually going to get pulled off. He never responded to my text or reached out with a reason why he was a no-show, so I can only assume the reason was not due to an emergency situation. Beyond rude, inconsiderate, and cruel. read more

A friend rented this company to pack his stuff, load a truck and unload the truck into his storage unit, while he was out of town. Two guys did all that, then another one from the office came and cleaned the place. And made sure everyhing was all out. I was there to make sure everything got done, while my friend was out of town for work. These guys did an amazing job. Their price is reasonable, they are honest hardworkers. And very friendly. I would recommend them to everyone, I know. They do more then what I said above. Read more from their web page of what they can do for you. read more

The process of finding a good mover can seem daunting. But doing a little research is worth it. By shopping around, you can save money (sometimes more than $1,000) and avoid scams. Daryn and his crew are the real deal! They provide reliable service - SHOW UP ON TIME, and carefully assess your items to ensure they are moved swiftly and safely. I am such a fan of Gorilla moving, that like his other clients, I have used him again and again. No nonsense moving, at an affordable price. And, as I mentioned above in both moves, nothing has been broken, scratched, nicked, or dented. Specifically, I have VERY LARGE wooden bedroom furniture that can be tricky to move, the items have been handled w/ care and have not been damaged in either moves. Can't say enuf great things about Gorilla!!!! :-D read more

Couldn't be more pleased with how smoothly my move went. Alfredo and his crew were efficient, careful and all around wonderful to work with. My first experience hiring movers was incredibly positive and I will definitely use them if I ever move again. Highly recommended! read more

My roommate and I were in need of a moving company to help out with larger items that we'd have trouble with on our own. After reviewing several options, we decided to go with Gorilla Moving Company and we're both extremely happy we did! Daryn, the owner is very friendly and punctual with any questions you have. Alfredo and David were the movers helping us out, and they were professional, on-time, friendly, and efficient. Our move was painless and everything was in the same condition as before the move. Overall, if you're in need of a painless move the guys at Gorilla are your best bet! read more

Wow. Honestly I can't say enough about these guys. Professional, courteous, friendly, grateful for the work, flexible to your needs, respectful. Seriously I'm so impressed and feel lucky to have found them. Part of me doesn't want to say a thing so they won't be overbooked when I need them next and I WILL use them again. But they deserve to be extremely successful and I'm telling all friends who are planning to move to get a hold of Daryn and his awesome crew. These guys deserve your business and you deserve their work ethic. Oh, I didn't even mention what a great price they gave me. Last minute and still less than the flakes I had scheduled that backed out on us from overbooking. These guys are the real deal, and coming from the Midwest I KNOW good decent folks when I meet them. Thanks guys! read more

I have used Gorilla moving twice for local moves in LA/SFV area and couldn't be happier with their service. Alfredo and Ray moved me both times and were amazing. They showed up on time, ready to go. They were super fast, efficient, and took excellent care of my things. Also, they are just really nice guys. I appreciate the amazing job they did! Very reasonable price. I will call them for my next move! read more

These guys were incredible. Arrived on time. Did what they said they were going to do. Were flexible with our needs. professional, hard working, respectful of the house and COVID, cared about protecting the house and the moved items. They even helped address an unexpected air condtioning issue and leak, as if it was thieir own house! Really never saw anything like it. Best movers we ever used. read more

Daryn & Chris did an excellent job moving our extremely heavy furniture. They worked well together & very efficiently. They took safety measures & wore masks & gloves during the entire move; loading furniture on the Uhaul & unloading it all all at our new home. I truly appreciated the safety measures they took to protect my family. They also came up with solutions on how to move items into our basement that wouldn't fit through the doorway. I would definitely recommend them because they were reasonably priced, extremely efficient, knowledgeable on fitting many large furniture items on the truck without damaging in transport, flexible with scheduling & friendly. read more

It's a shame Yelp only allows you to give vendors a max of 5 stars because I would literally give Gorilla Moving Company all the stars in the night sky if I could! I've used Daryn and his guys a couple of times now, and I cannot say enough fantastic things about every single one of them as individuals, and as a team. The level of efficiency in tackling the task(s) at hand is almost super-human. And when met with unexpected obstacles, as any move is bound to have, Daryn, Alfredo, and the rest of the guys are so incredibly acrobatic with their problem-solving skills. Like there are some MacGyver-type ingenuity involved here. But because they also do a lot of strategizing ahead of every move, the amount of unexpected obstacles always becomes diminished to a minimum. Above and beyond the quality of their work, which is outstanding, these folks are just decent, lovable, honest, and honorable. You know how stressful moving can be, right? Well, being around Daryn and his team, you will literally forget all the stresses involved with your move because you're spending time with quality people during this whole endeavor. Like, you'd want to have a beer with them after the work is done because that's how enjoyable it is to be around the guys at Gorilla Moving Company! read more

Everyone was great- Daryn was straightforward about pricing and detailed about everything that was included- Moving is always stressful but the day of the move could not have gone smoother- Armando, Reynaldo and Alex helped us move our home and packed for us and really did an amazing job. Everything was done fast, they took great care of our things to make sure nothing broke and also were just nice people. Would definitely use them again and highly recommend to anyone who needs help moving. read more

Daryn and his team just did an outstanding job! They Responded fantastically to a last minute request to help us pack our truck for a 500+ mile move, communicated well (via text) throughout and just did a fabulous job of packing (2) trucks and making sure everything was protected for the move!! I highly recommend them and will be telling all of my friends to contact Gorilla Moving Company for their services!!! Job well done Daryn and team!!!! Troy F. read more

The Gorilla Team are the chest-pounding Kings of the Urban Jungle. Their work ethic, speed, attention to detail, and professionalism was amazing during my move. I barely lifted a finger -- only to identify Good Will items and toss remaining trash. And yes, they obliged a Good Will stop along the way and graciously hauled a mattress and a couple other big items in for donation. They also figured out how to dismantle a 9 foot, 3 shelve console to get into my 3rd story abode, and quickly reassembled it on the spot. They will wait patiently and move things into final position, accommodating last minute requests to try various spots for big pieces. Boxes were well marked, organized by room, and every belonging was meticulously packed with care -- actually these guys took better care of my stuff than I would've! In terms of price point, what a deal-- you'll get a range quote, and though my job ran long, Daryn stuck to the high end of the quote. From a business perspective, Daryn and the Gorillas ooze integrity, reliability, and quality. Can't say enough...worth every banana! -Pete read more

Absolutely the BEST moving experience from start to finish we have ever had! From the moment we spoke with the owner Daryn, he was honest, trustworthy and upfront about all the details for the move. He was incredibly thorough and detailed about how the process would work - starting with the estimate with his colleague Alfredo - and then how the moving process would work. He was always professional, kind, patient and very reassuring to answer all our questions about the move, the costs, and what kind of practices they had in place to reassure us that our belongings would be well cared for and safe. From the moment we met Alfredo, we had a genuine trust and good feeling about him and the entire Gorilla team. Every single person that worked with us from start to finish was a gentleman, hard working, caring, and went above and beyond to give us EXCELLENT customer service. Moving is a long, hard, exhausting process but the team at Gorilla made it effortless and actually FUN and memorable for us both on the load in from our original home to our new house. They packed everything with care, treated our belongings as their own, and made sure I was taken care of every step of the way. They carried, loaded, cleaned and did anything I needed. On the delivery side, they were once again exactly on time when they said they would arrive, quickly and quietly unloaded the truck and placed every piece of furniture and box where we asked. They put together the furniture, and helped us get settled. Gorilla did everything they could to show us the pride they have in owning their own small business, and having their own employees versus hiring out additional help or transferring your things onto a larger truck etc... They provided proof of insurance, allowed us to have our own lock on the truck and provided a detailed inventory list of everything they packed and unloaded to make sure every single item was accounted for. I can't say enough about this company or the team of people that helped us move. By the end we felt like a family of friends had helped us get settled. And NOT ONE THING was broken, scratched or damaged in any way in the entire moving process!!! That is amazing!! We can't thank Daryn, Alfredo and the team enough for everything they did. Our move was truly a joy and they helped us get settled in our new home much faster and easier than I ever would have thought possible. I would DEFINITELY recommend them to anyone! If we ever do move again, we will 100% use Gorilla in the future. Don't waste your time researching anywhere else. Just hire Gorilla and you won't regret it. BEST MOVE EVER! Lisa & Mike read more

Daryn, Alfredo and the rest of his team were absolutely amazing! I have used them twice and would suggest anyone who ever needs movers to use GORILLA MOVING COMPANY! First, they moved me into an apartment and although I had more stuff than expected and it took longer than estimated the cost did not change and it was so affordable. The stress of moving is one thing, but when you have trustworthy, honest, and good movers you have nothing to worry about! From setting up everything, to wrapping and unwrapping my fragile items and furniture not 1 thing was scratched or broken. After they moved me, my parents were so happy by how great they were, the gentleman ended up moving my parents who were down sizing from a very large home to a more moderate home in the desert. The details of wrapping and organizing the truck was impeccable. Midway through the load up another truck was needed and with no complaints one of the crew members drove out to pick up another truck and brought it back to load up. My parents had so much stuff that they had to use every crevice in the truck which included pots and plants being placed sideways to make my mother happy that things were not left. There was never a complaint out of any of the guys mouths and they were so friendly with a smile on their face the entire time. All of them were very professional and easy going. They gentleman adapted to numerous changes that were taking place and that is what made it such a fantastic experience. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND DARYN and the GORILLA MOVING COMPANY Crew to anyone who wants to move. BEST movers I have ever had! read more

You can't find better movers in LA then Daryn and his crew! They are all super friendly and hustle like you wouldn't believe. Moving stresses me out more then anything but hiring Daryn makes it so much less stressful. They actually care about all your belongings and properly wrap and handle everything. He usually comes to your place before hand so he can check everything out and be fully prepared which is great and saves time the day of since he already knows what he will be packing. They are 100% your best option for your next move! read more

Look no further! After 12 yrs in LA & 8 moves (hiring a different moving company each time), I can say without hesitation that this is hands-down the best moving company in LA. We just bought a new home, and had to deal with an incredibly stressful escrow. Our move date literally changed 8 times, and we had to call and reschedule each time. Daryn was not only kind and understanding, but he even offered to advise us on a different company to use if they weren't available on our final move day. They packed all of out belongs EXTREMELY fast and with great care. Their prices are extremely competitive, and their service can't be beat. They took all of the stress and anxiety out of the process, and I honestly cannot say enough nice things about them. I wish every company was this honest & helpful. Hire Gorilla, you will not be sorry!! read more

They were quick to respond to my last minute move request and communicated with me every step of the way via text (my preference!). Thanks guys! read more

This moving company is completely horrible and untrustworthy. The owner is a complete liar and never checks his phone . Would never recommend this company to anyone. PLEASE BE AWARE! read more

Daryn's crew is awesome. I have used them twice to move from a townhouse to a townhouse, and then from that townhouse to a single family home. In both instances, they were friendly, wrapped/protected out property, broke nothing, worked hard, and worked fast. I recommend this company to anyone who wants to be moved by some good guys that take care of your property and that won't try and run up the hours on you. read more

BEST MOVERS EVER. And that says a lot since I've moved several times over the years and can honestly say I've never had a great experience with any other moving company until we were recommended to Daryn and his crew by a co-worker. We have since used them two times and can't say enough about their professionalism, speed and reasonable quotes. They move quickly but are super careful with your items and also within your home. We'd recently had our house renovated, and they didn't leave a scratch on the walls, floors or any piece of furniture. Since then, I've recommended them to a close friend who used them and also had a fabulous experience. Love these guys and though we don't plan on moving again anytime soon, I can't say enough wonderful things about them and will definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a fantastic mover. read more

I've been meaning to write a review for some time but i've been in various stages of moving, all with Gorilla Moving Company. I don't even know where to begin. I referred to them by a friend who has used them multiple times and now I know why. Daryn was so communicative and thorough from the get go. He was completely transparent and worked with us on all aspects. We were moving out of our condo and needed work done, but needed to move into temporary housing for just a few weeks while that was happening. So, we needed our furniture packed up and protected, but not moved as we had nowhere to move it. Daryn put me in touch with Alfredo who made sure he had all the information needed for that day. He came and took pictures of everything prior, so they would know exactly what was needed. Packing day came and Alfredo and his team arrived on time to pack everything up. I can't tell you how efficient, fast and responsible they were. Not to mention, the nicest guys. Then a few weeks later, we needed them to come back and move all of our stuff to our short term apartment, which again they did seamlessly. Then a few months later, after we found a house to buy, we needed to move again. It was last minute, but Daryn and Alfredo came to the rescue again and helped us move into our new home. Moving is so stressful, but their team of guys make it easy. They are seriously the best movers I've ever used. I can't say enough about their professionalism, efficiency, and reliability. I moved with these guys three times in the last year and I really would have lost my mind without him, haha! Needless to say, I would 100% use them again. read more

Everything went great! The three guys were fun, professional and courteous! We needed to be moved more than 100 miles and this company had us all moved in 5 hours! I recommend them highly! read more

Have never had a good experience with movers until Gorilla. Daryn went above and beyond to help me keep my move on budget -- in addition to emailing me with details, he called several times before the move day to help me strategize on ways to keep costs down and confirm all the details. He was always very straightforward about pricing and timing, and I wasn't blindsided with any extra fees like I have been with others in the past. Day of, his guys were so professional, helpful, and communicative. Cannot recommend them highly enough. Save yourself a hassle, and go with these guys. read more
