Be prepared to spend A LOT. Their hourly rate is very reasonable ($135/hr). but these guys are slow and just not very efficient, so the total fee due is much higher than you'd expect since the job takes so long. The two men each had one dolly, so they were making so many back and forth trips to get my boxes to/from the freight elevator. Previous moving companies I have used have used rolling bins in addition to dollies, allowing them to make fewer loading trips back and forth. We were running way behind schedule - it took my movers 3 hours to load and leave from the first location. Please note that 1) I live alone (tiny 1-BR apt), and 2) corporate relocation put me up in temporary housing (meaning that my apt only had my clothes and few furniture items - queen bed, TV stand, 2 TVs, nightstand, kitchen table), and 3) the second location is 2 blocks from the first location. Given all of this, you'd expect the movers to be able to complete the job in 3-4 hours, but nope it took them 6 hours ($135 x 6 hours + additional fees = $838)!. The movers dragged the metal beam from my bed and it scratched the hardwood floors in my new home (see photo below). Really sad for a new homeowner :( The reason this review is not a 1-star is because the two movers were professional and had great attitudes. But I have to reiterate that these guys were not very efficient with time and management refused to give me a concession on the final bill even though I expressed concern to Alex (manager) about timing during the second hour (that's how early I noticed how slow these guys were moving). read more

Got2Move - Movers dragged the metal beam from my bed while assembling the bed and it scratched my hardwood floors. Really sad for a new homeowner :( - Movers Near Me - San Francisco, California

I used these guys to move last year and had a fantastic experience. They were speedy yet careful. Plus they were sociable and humorous. I will definitely be calling them up again when I get raise or booted from my building! read more

I had contacted a few other moving companies prior to this one, but David had the best price. Like others said there were no hidden costs. However, our king size furniture bed set was extremely heavy -more than anticipated. So another guy was needed for a little extra. -totally understandable... These guys busted their butts getting all that stuff down the stairs! We had a stop to our new residence and also storage. David and his two guys packed all our furniture very snug and well protected. They really know how to utilize every bit of space in that truck too. Everything was wrapped in blankets and tape- so no scratches or scrapes to the furniture. They handled everything with care and moved stuff in and out efficiently like pros even with the stairs in both residences. The quote process was simple too. Just make sure to have an accurate inventory of what is to be moved. No doubt, David and team will be called upon again if we move again! read more

Have used them 6 times since 2006 and all of my friends and former roommates have as well. The quality of service, speed, pricing hasn't changed since Tom originally owned. It's since changed owners 2 more times and expanded. Used them for a x-country move from SF to LA storage while I q'tine with the fam. Quick, reliable, efficient. Small damage to office chair and they gave me a discount for it. Would use again and highlight recommend! read more

We had to do a move on short notice and were incredibly fortunate to find the guys at got2move. Stas and Dima were fast, efficient and careful with our stuff. Great communication on the move, showed up right on time. Couldn't ask for better service! Highly recommend!! read more

Thank you very much !!!   You and you're moving team guys were  incredible with my move !!  quick, clean , mindful!! I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH!!! 5 stars best , Aaron read more

These peeps moved my 1 bedroom apartment in just under 3 hours. They work super hard, quick and efficiently. Would recommend 10/10

They were pretty professional and pretty quick. I wasn't even thinking about some of my clothes that were loose but they boxed. They took my bed apart and put it back together no issues there. The last movers had taken my bed apart and I had to figure out how to put it back together. Overall a good experience. Would recommend in future. read more

Long overdue but we had a fantastic move with these guys in May 2021 from Oakland to Orange County. Alex was very responsive and gave us an accurate fair quote, and there were no surprise charges later. We didn't use packing services, just moving, had everything ready, and these guys wrapped all our furniture carefully and packed our 3 bedroom house nicely in their van within 4 hours. The team that met us down in OC the next day was equally as efficient and friendly, and put all our furniture together again. We will be using them next spring when we move from OC to LA and hopefully also use their packing services as well this time. Happy to continue supporting this small business which covered all our needs. read more

I used Got2Move for a local move within the San Francisco Bay Area. I really liked the experience -- from getting the estimate and booking to the actual move. They were on time, efficient and took really good care of the items being moved. I have a number of very fragile art pieces and the movers went above and beyond their call of duty to make sure the items are packed well and strategically placed them in a truck in such a way to minimize the possibility of damage. Needless to say, everything arrived in great condition. I am really happy they took such good care of the art pieces. read more

Edit: Alex followed up the next day and then again a few days later to help resolve the problem I had and let me know the movers I had were new. Adding a star because the customer service is really great, but I still think these movers were inexperienced and it's something to ask about when booking. Original review: Very great customer service for booking, and their manager is good about responding to issues. But the movers are awful and inexperienced. They make it unnecessarily inefficient and aren't worth the hourly rate. It ends up really price gouging the total cost with how long they take. For example, they had one guy taking down 2 boxes at a time in the elevator. The other guy stayed back in my studio just wrapping up the mattress and some small storage boxes. I ended up working with them to stay downstairs the whole time to keep holding the door for them because they came unprepared with a door stop or something to keep it open and it would have been double the amount of time I timed it and it took 7 minutes each round. Adds up quickly. It took an hour and a half to do a studio apartment that was already packed up in boxes for the dolly, with no big furniture except for the bed. Moving in the same furniture took an hour total to load, drive and unload with my last mover. Their manager intervened but I had to give them constant updates. Even after their manager called to ask them to do things differently, they continued with their two boxes at a time. The company eventually fixed my hours so it wasn't impacted by the delays. Very grateful for that. When they unloaded it, they even tried to use a narrow side case that could fit one box a time by hand instead of using the main entrance and using the dolly. A lot of inexperienced organization that leads to triple the amount of time it should. Wouldn't recommend. You're paying for one person really working and every excuse to prolong the time. I can't imagine how expensive it would be if you had them do the packing and had any real furniture. read more

These guys moved our office into storage a couple of months ago and we were super pleased. Professional, helpful, on time, fast. I would definitely use them again. I also recommended them to another company that moved a month later and they called me to thank me for the recommendation as they were very pleased as well. read more

Andrew and Cloud were both professional/friendly and super supportive with my most recent move. I will definitely use this service again in the future. I highly recommend Got2Move for your moving/relocation needs. My belongings were transitioned with care. I was able to stay within my budget. First time using movers and I will never move without the support of a moving company again. read more

I should be unpacking, but I couldn't wait to give a review for these guys because of the exceptional service they provide. We moved from the Bay Area up to Sacramento. I got 3 quotes and Got2Move was on the lower side, but more importantly they were super clear on their fees and had extremely quick professional communication. The day of the move, they arrived at the time they said they would and were very fast and efficient the rest of the day. We had three guys and all were professional and polite and had great attitudes. They were so careful with our things and I was truly impressed with their skill! I rarely write reviews, but I had to give Got2Move a review because I was beyond pleased with their service. read more

This team was so hopeful in helping my family and I move last minute. It's sometimes hard to find the time to pack up your stuff and actually be driving back and forth to where you need to go but this company made it so easy. I would recommend to anyone! They were right on time when I needed them and didn't complain about anything! Thank you guys! read more

Moving is a very stressful situation. If you want to alleviate, if not all together remove this stress, then hire Got2Move! The whole process from shopping around, getting quotes...to finishing the whole move went smoothly. I worked with Alex (plus Emily) on getting the quote, then to booking the appointment for my 11/12 move. He was very responsive and very patient with all my questions. The quote/pricing was very comparable to market rates and the estimated price and time of completion is realistic. The day of the move also went very smoothly! Thanks to Yahor and his crew of 2! They were all engaging, friendly, fast, and efficient! They were so efficient, they completed the move under the estimated completion time initially provided. I definitely recommend Got2Move for your moving needs! I will use them again for my next move, although not too soon :) read more

Need a mover? Call Got2Move...... I just hired them to move men between homes- 2 miles apart. They were super easy to work with. Alex gave me pricing/ quote over the phone. It appeared fair and reasonable. We exchanged a tiny bit of paperwork, and two weeks later the movers showed up exactly on time. They were fast, efficient, friendly.... they just knew how to move my stuff. They blanketed and wrapped all of my furniture and took good care not to damage my belongings. Easy to work with, fair pricing, good service/ results, no stress!!!!!!!~ I was recommended to use Got2Move... I suggest the same to you! read more

We had terrible experience in the 2nd time. Our 1st time was terrific but then they sent different crew for the 2nd time! The 2nd turned out to be a disaster: in the 1st time, they moved us from Sausalito to San Jose within 4 hours load + unload and 1.5 drive. For the same house, for an easy move 15 min away within San Jose, the 2nd time they sent a different crew and it took them 4 hours to just load in. As we complained to their manager, the crew then took 1.5 hour lunch plus 45 min drive for something that takes 15 mins. That's just so crazy, we were sitting on the floor waiting for our furniture. That's a 9-hour move for much shorter distance! We gave 1 star review and the manager made it right by charging us 5 hours instead, so we re giving them 3 stars. [Updated review] The manager then reached out for an apology in the morning. Since the company is thoughtful in approaching the issue, we change it to 5 stars. read more

Alex & his helper came on a Friday at 9:30am and had my one bedroom completely moved in by 2pm. Every move is different but I had couches, beds, heavy dressers & plenty of boxes; what I'm getting it, is these guys move fast & work hard!!! This was my first experience using movers and omg, what a relief. All my energy was put into rearranging and transforming my home. Thank you guys for making this experience fast & painless, I was very happy with the work performed. read more

Alex made things better by refunding a portion of what I paid. That was the right thing to do. I would suggest that if you hire this company, you specifically ask that only their experienced movers be used. I'm still not sure if the job was contracted out. Based on the very good reviews of others, I'm going to say that it probably was. read more

Updating and adding a star for follow up service, as Alex reached out to understand the situation and offered a resolution that I think is fair. read more

Punctual, fast, careful, polite, knowledgeable about building policies - what more could you want? Moved from San Francisco to Lafayette. Would hire again. Recommend! read more

Same week appointment. The guys are profession. They know what to do and they move things efficiently. Well, all I need to do is to stand there like a boss. Very happy with the quality of the service. Giving it a 5 stars. Good jobs guys! read more

This company provide exceptional customer service; they know how to provide a positive customer experience a rare sight these days. Alex is very informative, always quick to respond on any question. He diligently followed up ensuring all open issues where sorted out. A true find and I highly recommend them. read more

Guys, I'm missing a floor lamp. It must be in the truck still! Any chance I can have it back?

DISCRDISCRIMINATORY, RUDE, AND UNPROFESSIONAL IN A MANNER THAT WOULD MAKE VLADMIR PUTIN PROUD!!! I have lived in 3 countries, both coasts and the South, as well as in Southern California, and I have NEVER in over 16 moves experienced the kind of outright disrespect and unprofessionalism from a moving company than I faced this morning 11/24/21 when I had scheduled an appointment to have my household belongings moved from one home to another home in the same city, Oakland. I paid Got2Move my deposit, and they texted me the night before to confirm the move. Unfortunately, what I got were 3 dazed and confused twenty-somethings who appeared too scared to even get out of the truck. Their leader/spokesman "Max" asked me if I would move my car to allow for greater clearance for their moving truck, and I complied. They then entered my small 2 bedroom house, spent all of 3 minutes barely looking in each room, not even looking in any closets, and asked me if there was anything that shouldn't be packed. I smiled, and answered, "yes, broken furniture shouldn't be packed. Please leave it here, and I will take care of it. " Max said that was "fine, he just needed to check on something with his boss." He got back into the moving truck speaking Russian to his "comrades" , they sat parked for about 6 minutes before they drove off without saying a word to me. I thought to myself, maybe they forgot something and were going back to pick it up. Nope. Nothing. I waited over 22 minutes before I got a lame and condescending excuse from their boss "Alex." Alex in his patronizingly told me," the movers can't move because your house is too messy." "Too messy?" I asked. "Is this a joke? Its moving day for Christ's sake! There are boxes everywhere. Of course my house isn't neat an tidy on the day of the move!" Then Alex, condescendingly added, " I hear your house smells, too. Perhaps you should hire a housecleaner." Now, while I am not an obsessive cleaner, my house is regularly dusted, vacuumed, cleaned by a professional cleaning staff, and often scented with jasmine or "Nag Champa" incense. I own no pets, so there are no litter boxes or stinky animal droppings around. Also, keep in mind, "Alex" has never met me in person, nor has he been to my house. I have lived more than 50 years, and I have never encountered a moving company that would terminate the work contract, due to a "smell", criticize the person moving for not being more "orderly and tidy," and not even have the decency to discuss the matter with the client to see what kind of resolution might be found before they quit the job, ON THE DAY OF THE MOVE!! I can't help but wonder if the actions of this dysfunctional, unprofessional company are racially motivated. That seems to be the only reason why movers would refuse to touch any object, discuss a potential issue with their client, speak so rude and dismissively to a customer, as well as ultimately refuse to do business. Please learn from my misfortune! BEWARE! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS UNETHICAL, PREJUDICED COMPANY!! CHECK OUT THE OTHER BAY AREA MOVERS FIRST BEFORE YOU GAMBLE WITH YOUR HOUSEHOLD BELONGINGS ON MOVING DAY BY DOING BUSINESS WITH GOT2MOVE!!! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, AND GO ELSEWHERE TO MORE PROFESSIONAL AND RESPECTFUL MOVERS. read more

Hi everyone! During my life I had moved so many times so, finally I have badly hurt my low back. And this time I said myself: stop! Let do your hard work to someone else. It will cost you money but not health. I was looking for very budget service, and found these guys. Alex and his coworker grubbed my extra set of bedroom furniture (dumbed oak I believe) and moved to a Self storage. Once, when I will move to a bigger apartment, I will ask them again to bring that set to my new place . Thank you guys! read more

Moved us out of a 1br into a 2br quickly and efficiently. They took great care with my furniture bundling it in shrink wrap and moving blankets. Even when one of our desks didn't fit into the room, they immediately removing the legs and putting it back together once it was where it needed to go. read more

I used Got2Move to move from Berkeley to San Francisco. The team that helped me was VS Crew, and they did an excellent job. They were really efficient and helped moved my furniture into a third floor apartment. I really appreciate their hard work, and I'd recommend them to anyone looking for movers! read more

Super fast - not even a minute of time waste, Genuine, clear on things. Safe packing. read more

They came on time to my daughters apartment and bailed me out! She is having a lot of pregnancy nausea so I flew on from Boston to help with a move and thank goodness for Got2Move! Helped us pack and move in one day and were very nice. Couldn't be more grateful! read more

Reasonably priced. Handled everything with care. Minor casualty. Out of everything moved 1 item was broken but due to age. Highly recommend!

Used the services of Got2Move, specifically VS crew, with my recent move from Dublin to Walnut Creek. My move involved two stops, including pick-up of boxes from my storage unit. VS crew did a great job! They were very professional during the whole process, handled my belongings and furniture with care, and helped set them up properly the way I wanted at my new place. I also liked the transparency in their fee structure. No surprises. I would recommend VS crew to family and friends, and I would use them again the next time I have a need to move. Thanks VS crew! read more

Excellent service! Great communicators and they got all our things there in one piece without any issues. Hard workers. I will definitely use them again! read more

I've used Got2Move three times and each time was exactly what I needed. This last time I was selling my house and moving to Los Angeles after 20 years in the Bay Area, so it was emotional. I decided at the last minute to hire them - and not only got a quick quote (seriously, less than an hour), but they also showed up 2 days later, and moved whatever was left in my house efficiently and safely. If I could use them again, I would. Hands down great service, competitive pricing, and friendly people. It was so hot in LA when they were done we gave all three of them bowls of ice cream! read more

Actually, I'm giving Got 2 Move 5 and a HALF stars. WHY CAN'T I DO THAT, YELP?! They are not "A." They are "A+." Moving sucks. Oh, sorry -- you already knew that. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT. Here's my advice for how to make it suck less. DON'T... ...ask your friends to help you. They don't want to. They're just going to turn around and ask you someday, and you don't want to help them, either. NOBODY WANTS TO MOVE. NOT THEIR OWN SHIT, NOT YOUR SHIT. Face it. ...rent a truck. You'll give yourself a freakin' migraine driving all over town to pick it up AND ditch your car somewhere while collecting all your poor, guilt-tripped-into-helping-you friends at the same time, all too early on a Saturday. (And if your friends are like me and mine, they DON'T LIKE TO BE IN THE WORLD BEFORE NOON ON SATURDAY UNLESS THERE'S BOOZE INVOLVED. And booze + moving is sketchy...) ...drop more money on renting dollies and furniture pads and shit. You think it's gonna make your move easier, but you don't really know what the fxxx to do with these things. You're just burning up more money. YOUR MOVE IS STILL GOING TO SUCK. YOU ARE STILL GOING TO SWEAT. AND BE DIRTY. AND EXHAUSTED. AND IN GENERAL, WANT TO END YOUR OWN LIFE. ...take all your poor guilt-tripped friends to the bar after to thank them. See above. This will BREAK YOUR BANK. Do you see where I'm going with this? Because IF you do all the above, it's going to cost you a LOT of money anyway. And you are still going to go through a LOT of grief. Your move is STILL going to suck (have I said that already?). BIG TIME. Instead, you should HIRE GOT 2 MOVE!!! That's how you make your move NOT suck. (Okay, suck less. You still have to pack. And unpack.) They will be on time. Yes, movers can actually be on time. If they're Got 2 Move. They will be fast. They will handle your stuff with tender loving care. They will be friendly and talk to you about soccer and your shared Eastern European heritage without sacrificing the above... They will be affordable. Not really much more than what a sucky do-it-yourself move would have cost you, either. Because you won't have to take them to the bar afterward and empty your checking account in thanks. Actually, I WOULD have taken these dudes to the bar if they didn't have another move scheduled. They were that good, and that cool, and I was that grateful. And there was soccer on TV that day. So instead I gave them the biggest tip I've ever given any service people, for anything. See, I AM a nice person! They brought it out in me. A-FREAKIN'-PLUS!!! read more

I don't know about you, but I find it stressful to have people take over our stuff, pack it up and move it across town. But these guys were wonderful. I highly recommend them. They were friendly, professional, careful and ... very fast. I thought this would be a whole day affair, but in five hours the whole thing was done and at about 2/3rds of the cost that I had estimated. I will go back to these guys for a next move, though I still don't like moving to I hope it'll be a while. read more

Got2Move was fantastic and would use again for future moves. Moved from San Diego to south San Francisco with no issues at all. They give you a call reminder a couple days before the scheduled pick up and after once the move is complete. Eddy and William were both great unloading and were timely and efficient. Definitely recommend! read more

I am crazy. I knew it before but it is certifiable now. I hired movers then spent the entire day before they were scheduled pooling my friends in shifts to move stuff early. All because I am too anxious to be done and (heres the real reason) don't want to go get more boxes. Smart people like me know buying more boxes is much more difficult than schlepping full ones down a flight of stairs and back up two a few hundred times. See, I told you....bat shit crazy!! I am paying the price now. My muscles are so sore I cannot walk. I look constipated or oversexed or 100 years old when I walk. My friends are making fun of me and I need to drink more than usual to take the physical pain away and to drown out their mocking voices. Why, oh why, did I not just let the two strapping men from Got 2 Move do everything? They obviously are more equipped and in much better shape (you should have seen the calf muscles on these men). Not to worry, there was still a lot to move when they showed up. My shoes alone were contained in 5 large boxes. They moved it all quickly and wrapped my furniture up so it was in perfect condition when it was placed exactly where I wanted it in my new place. Not only that but they complimented me on my stellar packing skills and even took an interest in what I do for a living and what I do in my spare time instead of merely asking where my kitchen table was supposed to go.....and all the while never slowing down. All of this for a very reasonable $90 per hour and $45 gasoline charge. Money well spent. I dock them one star away because when I tried to reserve a date on line they didn't call me back to tell me that day was not available. When I called them they said they just don't do that. They will only get back to you if they have time slots available for the day you requested. I am glad I called, on the recommendation of two friends who had recently used them, or I would have not known this. In addition they were 45 minutes late, but called 3 times to update me on why and when they would be there. In fairness they did go over two hours, only charged me for two and were very gracious and extremely apologetic so no stars lost there. It is hard to ding them stars for unforeseen traffic when they were so nice about it, especially considering they were so easy on the eyes! read more

This review is actually a year late but I wanted to write it before I totally forgot about it. I did a move last October from SF to the South Bay. I lived in a small studio in SF close to downtown and when I called for an estimate, they asked the standard of how many boxes I'd have. I looked around and my boxes were all completely different sizes. I asked them what to make of that and they impatiently just asked for a number. I did a rough count and said 25, from what I remember, but I mentioned some might be smaller/lighter. The guy I talked to on the phone came off short and to-the-point. Not necessarily rude but definitely not friendly either. Whatever, I let it go as long as they could get the job done. They gave me a time to show up and then the day of I remember getting a call, about an hour before the time they said they'd be there, saying they were already there. I was not home yet and when I told them that, the guy said no problem, he knew a friend in the city and would go catch up with him to kill time. I arrived home right before the originally scheduled time and waited thinking the guy meant he would catch up with his friend for a bit then come at the normal time since they were the ones who were an hour early. But then they didn't return until over an hour later from the original time. Thankfully all my stuff was packed and ready to go. It took maybe half an hour max for 3 of them to load stuff into the truck. HOWEVER, when I mentioned that after fully packing since our last phone conversation, the total number of boxes came out to 30 rather than 25, the guy started lecturing me about how I was misleading them, how it's rude to just change the number of boxes last minute, and as a business owner how would I feel if blah blah blah... Ok, I get it. All you had to do was say "Sorry, we agreed on 25" and let it go. I'd like to mention at this point that I had NO furniture. All my boxes were just my belongings of clothes, some books, etc. Not to mention the fact the truck was practically empty due to lack of furniture. I would understand his point more if I threw in something more burdensome like furniture or fragile things. But at the end of the day, it was 5 extra boxes of fluff stuff like kitchen supplies or something. Still, the guy was making such a stink about it and eventually charged me more for the extra 5 boxes. At the end of the day, the 2 stars goes to the efficient loading/unloading, and the cheaper prices compared to competitors. But the attitude I got and the poor punctuality are reasons why I would not recommend this moving company to anyone. read more
