We hired Budgetwise Movers to help us move. I will say we hired them based on the reviews and reputation that had earned online - and we were not disappointed. In fact, this was a great experience. They got us to our new home on time, under budget, and in a very professional manner. I highly recommend Budgetwise. read more

The movers did an excellent job cleaning out my storage unit. They efficiently delivered the items to my home and helped with stowing things and moving furniture around according to my instructions. The only down sides were a slight communication difficulty and an apparently unavoidable mechanical or logistical difficulty which prevented them from arriving on time. (3 hrs late, they were apologetic) Be aware that they have a 3 hour minimum and the charged price was $30 above the one displayed on their web site. The also add an additional $10 per hour if you use a credit card (? budget-wise for them--not for you) and require a picture of your credit card and drivers license. That surprised me! read more

I called to ask for a quote and the lady who answered the phone was so rude. She started giving me the run down of prices and during that she started breaking up. When I let her know she was breaking up and I asked her if she could repeat that she said with a tone that she hadn't said anything. Girl. You were literally just telling me prices but you hadn't said anything? I wasn't even mad. I just wanted information. Anyway, the reason I didn't book with this company even though you had the best pricing was because of her. read more

1 star given for being super late on this stressful day for our family and lack of communication. Kane was super helpful with answering the questions, and accomondating with schedule changes etc but everything went downhill on the day of the move. They had a huge window of arrival 1:30-4pm and they were super late : arrived at 7:10pm. There was no updates telling me that they were going to be running late. I had to call the manager numerous times. I planned to drive up 6 hours away after the move but we didn't finish loading until 10 pm, so I had to spend the night at a hotel. The movers were great and did their job efficiently. the management or the owner picked up extra projects when the movers have no time. read more

On time, thoroughly wrapped and packed my furniture and other items with care. 3 men, packing supplies and a truck! Great value!

We just used Careful Budget Moving and it was a great experience! They came recommended from a friend. When I text Kane he told me that they don't serve Orange County anymore but still made it possible for us. The booking process was so easy. We were kind of annoying customers. I felt bad because we originally booked two stops but the day before had to add another stop. They were accommodating and made the change right away. Day of : the movers came right on time and texted an hour before they would arrive which I really appreciated. They were careful with our stuff and we managed to move everything to all 3 stops in exactly 3 hours. Aside from a ridiculously heavy dresser (there is an extra fee), our stuff was already packed. They do seem to offer packing services though; there were some loose items that weren't ours that they were starting to pack up in boxes so that's a plus! I would highly recommend this company. They came in at half the price other movers quoted us. Communication with them was flawless and quick. Side note : please be nice to your movers! We try to offer refreshments and food along with a tip. read more

Dior and the rest of the team did an AMAZING job with our move! The team asked the right questions on-site, were very careful in not damaging any wall/doors, and wrapped all our items very nicely (refer to pics). Lastly, they were conscious of time. I'd recommend their work to anyone! No hidden fees. That's a plus, too! GREAT experience overall! read more

Great quality service, efficient, respectful, careful with fragile items, will refer to family and friends for sure. Made out lives easier. They disassembled and reassembled everything perfectly. Will use again. Alikhon and the rest of his crew were excellent! A 10/10!!! Don't hesitate to call Budgetwise movers for your next move. read more

Andy sent me two very quick and efficient guys. I was dragging my feet because I was concerned that they'd take their time, but boy was I so wrong about this moving company. They arrived promptly at the appointment time and literally running in and out of my house to move the furnitures. I already prepacked all boxes so that actually saved a ton of time. we moved from a 2 bed room house (but only 20 miles to the destination) with quite a bit of furnitures, all was done in less than 4 hours. Total costs was less than $400, including tips. Can't beat their prices! I'd use them again in a heartbeat! read more

It’s Time For Moving - I'd recommend you to prepackage all you can into boxes to save time. - Movers Near Me

Horrible. Completely ruined the floors moving a fridge from my friend's restaurant. Took them 2 hours to load the commercial fridge on a truck (which I had to pay for) and ultimately had to pay $800 after being quoted $300 for what should have been a 3-hour move. Manager on the phone was rude, I'm so angry I went with this company. read more

I've used Careful Budget Moving for my last two moves and wouldn't use anyone else. They're quick, responsive and extremely efficient. Kane answered all my questions leading up to the move as well as the day of. Thanks again. read more

I am very satisfied with my experience using BudgetWise Movers. My team of movers showed up on time and ready to work. They were very professional from start to finish and they treated my things as if it were their own. If you need a hand moving, I strongly recommend using this service! read more

Super professional staff! First I'll start off with Andy who helped me over the phone. He was super calm and had great customer service - despite me asking thousands of questions haha. He followed up and called me after we spoke. Great service Andy. Next Sargon and the guy he worked with (his name started with an I) if you know his name let me know. They were both great. They were on time, the moved fast enough (only 2 guys so I get that) They provided great service and they both placed my furniture in the most suitable way; as I had no idea of how, where, or what direction I should place them. Assembled my bed in like 20 mins. They didn't scratch anything. They were careful and moved at a good pace. 5 stars! read more

The guys were great with helping us move. We had a little hiccup on my end but the guys took it in stride and helped us with all our needs. They were very fast and effective; pretty much cleared out our house in under 3 hours. Appreciate the great customer service! read more

Poor Service. Was extremely disappointed with how my belongings were delivered. Movers had no consideration in protecting my stuff, and went as far as to disobey my specific instructions. After trying to resolve matters, they hassled me and were not willing to comply. Definitely would not recommend if you're looking to have your moving process run smoothly. 0/10 read more

The best moving service I have used. Artem and Abylat are fast workers. They wrapped all pieces with blankets and plastic. Very professional. I totally recommend them read more

I contacted Careful Budget Moving at the beginning of the week, hoping to move only days later. This company quickly sent their reliable movers. Kane (the point and administrative person) was very professional, patient and responsive. All questions were answered thoroughly and promptly. The movers themselves , Aybolat and Anton, were very pleasant, polite, hard-working and effective. They worked hard to finish within the time constriction we had. I appreciated it. I definitely had a pleasant experience with this company as far as moving goes! read more

It’s Time For Moving - Our truck being loaded - Movers Near Me

The owner (Kane T) is very quick to respond to messages. I requested quotes from every single mover in the LA area that was on Yelp. Kane was one of the first people to respond, was able to quickly provide me with a competitive quote, and schedule me for a move. The price for a studio move was $104/hour for 2 movers. This hourly rate was slightly below most of the other quotes I received from other moving companies that had a high amount of Yelp reviews. Note that moving companies with a substantial amount of reviews tend to be above $100/hour whereas companies with a low amount of reviews tend to be below $100/hour. On move-in day, movers, Zane and Eric, were excellent and very helpful. They were on time and were able to move me out in about 2.5 hours. I would recommend them. read more

They are very efficient workers...can't go wrong with hiring them for your move...they are amazing

Update: After talking with Kane, I realize the initial scheduling with 2 movers was made in error and resulted in the prolonged process. He shared that he really cares about customer satisfaction & offered ways to remediate our my experience. Based on his responsiveness, I would consider them for future moves and understand why they have soo many satisfied customers. The scheduling and initial truck packing and using wardrobe boxes went well. I got all my questions answered and Andy was very responsive. However, as the packing and moving process continued, it appeared that the assigned movers were not moving efficiently. Though we had boxes packed and items ready to be packed on the truck it took 5 hours for them to pack 2bedroom. Once we arrived at our new home, the unloading process was just as slow, which eventually appeared deliberate since we were paying them an hourly rate. They asked if we wanted our beds reassembled and we said no because we didn't want to add more time. They continued to then put the bed together adding to the time. Once they calculated the final cost they also added an overtime fee which was not in the contract/agreements. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! We had a 2 bedroom + loft, but since my mom moved in with us and not to mention that we have one 5-year-old baby, we have the stuff of 4 bedrooms (RIDICULOUSLY A LOT OF STUFF). I've had quotes from 3 different companies and they all quoted us somewhat similarly, but I've first decided to go with another company because Careful Moving wasn't available at the time, but it was a HUGE mistake. With the other company, since they only had one 16ft truck, I told them it wouldn't work because we seriously have a lot of stuff and that I don't want to waste my time moving back and forth 5-6 times. The other company said that they will waive the traveling time, so I was a little reluctant but said okay because they had REALLY GOOD REVIEWS. However, we felt like it can't be done in one day, so we called them and asked if they could come a day earlier for about 3 hours just to move some of the boxes to my new place and that I understand if they can't because it was such short notice. The next day, they called saying that they can come in the morning but that SAME DAY at around 8PM they canceled on me. So, my husband called Careful Movers, and they were our lifesavers! Since we were only moving boxes we requested 2 movers, but they came with a HUGE truck and worked diligently for 3 full hours. So fast, so detailed, and with such care. We loved it so much that we were thinking of canceling the other company that we originally hired for our original move-in date, but ended up just keeping them. Well, the other company came 45 mins late, and with a SMALL truck that would only work out for a studio, and told me that they can't finish this by today. LONG STORY SHORT, the OTHER COMPANY canceled on me at a last-minute once, came late on the move-in date, and demanded that I pay them when HIS movers clearly told me that they can't do it. Anyway, after it got "resolved," we hurriedly called Kane at Careful Moving and was able to lock them for yesterday morning! BEST CHOICE EVER!!!!! we hired 4 movers, and they were so careful with all my stuff, no complaints even though we had a lot of stuff, and they were heavy too :((( They were so good at dissembling my furniture and reassembling them, and all my stuff came safely! I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND them! Not to mention that Kane was also very attentive and tried his best with communicating via phone. Everyone was so nice, and I truly thank them for what they've done for me! read more

I've hired movers a few times in the last 5 years and each time they worked really fast and hustled even though they were paid by the hour. However, the movers we hired at Careful Budget Moving worked excruciatingly slowly and they left dirty marks in our new house. 1) It took them over 3 hours just to move furniture out of my 1 bedroom apartment. We had a small kitchen island, dining set, couch, tv, queen size bed, dresser, and a few other small pieces. After they arrived at our new place, my boyfriend and I helped them move everything into the house so they wouldn't take another 3 hours. Moving furniture for a 1 bedroom apartment should not take 6 hours for professional movers. 2. We just had the carpets cleaned in the new house but the movers got them dirty. They didn't wear booties and they used a dolly for some of the heavy furniture. The wheels of the dolly left marks on our newly cleaned carpet and we couldn't get them out afterwards. Also there was one big scratch around a corner that was made when the dresser was moved up the staircase. read more

Antonio and Sasha were amazing! Fast, very careful, and, most importantly, friendly! I highly recommend using them as your movers. They protected all of our furniture and transported it to our new place perfectly. We will definitely be using them again in the future. :) read more

It’s Time For Moving - moved into the new place, all protected with shrink wrap! - Movers Near Me

We recently used these guys to help us move from our third story apartment to our first home and couldn't be happier. These guys hustled and did an AMAZING job! Not one thing was broken, scratched, or missing. They also moved us in the pouring rain which I can't imagine how much more difficult that made the job. Their pricing was very fair and there were no hidden fees. They showed up on time and communication and setting things up with John was extremely smooth. Highly recommend them if you are needing moving services! read more

I've moved several times in Los Angeles over the past two decades. The Careful Budget Moving is the best moving company I have ever hired. Two young men arrived exactly at the appointment time on the day of the move. Mr. Kane T arrived soon after. He is their head, returning to LA from out of town one day before we move. I think Mr. Kane T is an honest young man. As soon as Kane arrived, he worked with his subordinates, ran in and out of our house, moved furniture downstairs, and took the empty dolly upstairs. They wrapped everything carefully, They work really hard and are very professional. At the end of the upload, as an add-on, they even helped us load up a large faux Christmas tree that wasn't included in our early moving plans. A desk lamp was accidentally broken while being carried by a worker in my sight. I immediately said "doesn't matter" to encourage the young man to continue his work. Meanwhile, this desk lamp isn't expensive, to be honest. We ended up tipping each worker evenly because they are all honest and hard working young men. So far we haven't found anything lost. This moving was a great experience. I'd like to introduce my friends to hire The Careful Budget and I want to hire them again next time! read more

Abumuslim and his partner were on time and took every precaution with all of my belongings! They had all the tools and supplies to get the job done. They did not delay with the time frame and I would definitely use them again!!! read more

I had to scramble to find movers when I had to move sooner than expected, and Careful Budget was incredibly accommodating and communicative throughout the process. I appreciate all the prompt replies! The entire process was smooth from start to finish, and in a panic I realized I wasn't done packing, but they assured me it happened all the time and took care of my delicate plants that were not packed at all. They worked as quickly as possible from my unit that had 50 stairs and no elevator, and I honestly shudder thinking how I would have ever managed that without their help. It took awhile, at which point I questioned why I have so much stuff. But once it was all packed up, they arrived at my new apartment, with an impossibly narrow driveway on an absurdly steep hill. No problem with their 24-foot truck somehow! Unloading was lightning fast, as they promised it would be. They made the actual moving part so stress-free, and I would not hesitate to book them again! Thank you for your professionalism and speed! Fantastic moving company. read more

They are clearly buying users/reviews. It's always weird where it's either 1 or 5 stars. These guys milk clocks disappear for long breaks and have the audacity to charge overtime for these tactics. You can tell the way Kane handles the customer service issues, they have a decent system in place to make your move cost you more. This is not their first rodeo. Beware, go elsewhere. Edited to Add: We had the movers clocked for 2 hour break based on camera/phone calls of them leaving our house. We messaged Kane regarding them disappearing and making our move much longer. He assured us that we would not be charged for this. When the bill came he had the math just so to try to get 1.5x the hourly rate then proceeded to argue that the movers did not take a two hour break. We stated we had proof of break timing so he adjusted the move for 15 minutes of overtime. We cut our losses and paid the bill cash. After I posted my review on yelp, he went and charged my card the extra overtime. Very bad business, will be reporting to BBB. read more
