If you're looking for moving company, I highly recommend Koa Moving and Storage. They did an awesome job moving us last week. This is my personal recommendation! Great service and fair pricing. read more

TREADMILL move. Armando was one of the first to respond to my service request and Koa was able to come out the very next day (which was a holiday). He sent a team of 3 men, which is exactly what was needed to move the 200lbs. + treadmill from a second floor bedroom to the garage, by ways of a corner turn stairwell. The team worked well together and was very professional. They dismantled the top of treadmill so that it could fit through the bedroom door. They wrapped the treadmill and stairwell banisters with moving blankets, and carefully moved the beast to prevent damaging walls. Once in the garage they put the treadmill together again. The job overall took 2 hours. Will I ever recommend placing a treadmill in a bedroom...heck NO! Why ruin your fengshui? If you happen to make the same mistake as I did, YELP Koa Moving--excellent service/company. Mahalo! read more

Very friendly crew, efficient and affordable movers- I needed some large items I had purchased at an estate sale picked up from the estate location and delivered to my home within 48 hours I called and they were able to accommodate my request - no issues with the large and heavy items with a flight of steps too- they handled it! I highly recommend this moving company for local moves read more

VERY PLEASED. I appreciate Armando (the owner) personally speaking with me to make sure everything goes smoothly. I had a 2 bedroom apartment on the second floor, and moved into a 3 bedroom home. The team that came was very pleasant, they asked questions throughout the move and did everything very quickly and efficiently. I definitely reccomend Koa Moving, and will use them again in the future. Thank you Koa Movers for making me move feel effortless. read more

Great people to work with. Armando has been in the moving business most of his life and that experience shows when he's estimating or doing a on-site, he very thorough and gets the job done great. I'd hire them again. read more

This review is way overdue from my move back in Oct 2019... I went from a 4-person household to a 2-person household so we were moving to smaller digs, but most of the 'stuff' was coming with us to the new place. Less manpower + small car = big stress for me. I had never used a moving company before, and after reading through the various reviews I was dreading the hassle, headache, and cost that everyone complained about. Enter Koa Moving and Storage. Armando responded shortly after my initial inquiry, and scheduled an in-person quote for the same day. The quote was quick, and he even advised me to do as much as I was able before the move to cut down on the cost of the move. Buying my own packing materials was fine with him too. We confirmed the date and time, and he called me the day before to confirm that they were coming the next day. Moving day came, and Armando showed up with 3 young men (I can't find the paper that I wrote their names on, sorry guys!). The quote Armando had given me was for the 3 movers, but he stayed for the day as well! I wasn't nearly as packed up as I had hoped, but they got to work and things went smoothly the whole day. Everyone was very professional, polite, and friendly throughout. I will say that after the move, I noticed a few minor damages here and there, but I figured that there will always be some wear and tear when moving, even if I had done it myself. All in all, everything was packed, moved, and placed in the new house and I was allowed to get started cleaning the old place. I was pleasantly shocked at how close the total was to the estimate! Highly recommend Armando, Koa Moving, and his crew!! read more

My experience with the company started well. The owner was very responsive and accommodating for the time we needed his services. We paid for a four-person crew for our three-bedroom/ 1500 sqft move from Mililani to Ewa Beach. However, that warm and fuzzy feeling for the company quickly took a turn. The men arrived on time, but the truck they came with was not large enough to fit all of our things which led to them having to make two trips. A survey was taken before our move, so I didn't understand why they had come unprepared. My husband and I had pre-packaged most of our home minus some items we had used the night before our move, a trampoline, and bed frames. In total, it took them over 12 hours to complete our move. On each trip, my husband left with the movers to allow them into the home, and every time, my husband waited over 20min for them to arrive, which raised suspicion. There was no reason for them not to have arrived at the same time as him. The men working together were armatures; they did not work cohesively at all! There were so many dings and dents in the walls of our newly constructed home. An essential piece to my all-glass dresser is broken and irreplaceable due to the type of glass coloring. That's not all! Upon unpacking our things, we discovered that we were missing our Hypervolt massage gun, and the money in our coin jar had been removed. I contacted the owner to report the theft, and his response to me was to file a police report. I then proceeded to ask him for the name and contact information of one of the workers who left the job before completion. The owner's response to me was that he did not work there anymore and didn't have any information for the man. Which made me believe those were undocumented workers. $1800 for mediocre service, broken furniture, and stolen items. I sat on this review for a minute because I just wanted to wash my hands with the situation. However, we recently made another move and it triggered this nightmare of an experience I had with this company. We had a three-person crew pack, label, document EVERY piece of our furnishings, and it took them no more than eight hours in total. All of our items we accounted for on an inventory sheet and packaged to perfection. The staff were paid, PROFESSIONALS and eased my phobia of moving companies. I hope this company has improved on their operations since then and I wish them the best. read more

Great moving company. They were very fast at loading all my stuff into the truck. I moved to a high rise in Waikiki and they were familiar with the location, had one of the elevators commandeered for our use and asked where to place items in my apartment. I would recommend their services. They were on time which is hard to find in Hawaii read more

I have worked with Koa Moving & Storage 4 times over the last 2 years. These guys are pros. Each and every experience with this company has been stellar. They were always on-time, respectably and professionally dressed, polite, detail oriented and unbelievably patient. Finding this reliable, professional, honest and dependable moving company made one of the most stressful experiences (moving after 25 years) of my life almost pain-free. The peace of mind you get from working with courteous, experienced professionals is priceless. They have the expertise to package and move any item safely without any damages to your new location. I moved the contents of a 4-bedroom, 3-bath home and not a single item was damaged or broken. They completed the entire process in a timely manner without compromising on quality. I also hired Koa to move a giant refrigerator from an older residence in upper Manoa to my residence in East Oahu. They had to remove doors from both the appliance and the home on both ends and carry the refrigerator up and down a very rickety stone walkway in Manoa. They did an absolutely amazing job and at a reasonable cost. Koa's professional moving coordinator provided a free, detailed, honest, up-front estimate on what their service would cost and the time my move would take. No hidden costs with Koa. Their hourly rate was very, very reasonable and the total cost for the move came in under the estimate. That does not happen very often. Given the quality of the service I would gladly have paid more. Koa Moving & Storage has all required insurance coverage (including Workers' Compensation), industry certifications, and Department of Transportation and Motor Carrier numbers. This is not always the case with less experienced and reliable companies. Additionally, Koa has reasonably priced storage services available while you complete the move to your final destination, during a renovation or (in my case) while staging my home for sale. Their storage facility is climate controlled, has monitored security and is safe from theft. They will also handle packing your belongings into containers for overseas or mainland transport. Really great to have and allowed me to focus on the other details of my move without worrying about the safety and security of my personal possessions. Thank you for an awesome job! Five stars all the way. I will absolutely use this company again and would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends, family and professional colleagues. Great Job!! read more

Let me start off by saying that if I could give this company 10 stars I would! From the start when I requested a quote through Yelp Armando responded immediately and scheduled an on-site evaluation. He showed up on time of the scheduled date. Unheard of in Hawaii. Mind you, I was getting quotes from several companies. 2 did now show at all at the appointment time both with lame excuses. One of those rescheduled but the other blew me off completely. Armando was so kind right from the beginning and I just overall had a great vibe. He emailed a quote within 24 hours! Again unheard of!! I did have some questions as a couple of things were confusing to me (this was my first major move on my own!) but Kathy quickly replied to my emails and answered everything and put me right at ease! After getting quotes from several companies ranging from $1200 to $7500 I was baffled at the huge difference! I wasn't even moving any furniture!! It was mostly clothes, shoes, etc. Well Koa movers weren't the cheapest but they were very affordable and I really wanted to go with my gut! I'd rather pay a little bit more and go with a growing company than go with the cheapest and feel nervous the whole time! The day of the move the team showed up right on time! I had been crying my eyes out and was drinking wine at 9am! This was scary for me! I asked them not to judge. Well not only did they not roll their eyes at me but Armando gave me hug and talked me off the ledge! Lol. They got right to work and 18 years of my life was packed and gone in a little over 3 hours! Several times after Armando texted me asking how I was and let him know if there was anything else he could help with! I was still in shock by how smooth this all went! My shipment was due to arrive in California in 30-60 days. Well another shocker! In less than 30 days I got a text saying that my shipment would be arriving the following week! Wow! That was FAST!! Now I had to find a storage facility quick! Lol. The drop off went smoothly with the only drawback being that the delivery guys were 45 min late. Not that big a deal. The rest went well the boxes were all still in excellent shape and everything was there! Shortly after the drop off I got a follow up text from Armando asking how it went. I said it went great except for the 45 minute delay and what did he do??? He sent me a Starbucks gc to apologize for the inconvenience!! What?!! I said it before and I'll say it again; if I could 10 stars to Koa Moving, I would!! Communication is key in a situation like this as well as kindness and everyone at this company is epic at both! Hire them!!! You won't be sorry!!! read more

I have been active duty military 19 years now which has required me to move more than 10 times. I'm no expert on moving however I have experience with several moving companies in the past. If you want a company to preform a pre-inspection, tell you your date is good, then cancel on your expected move out date (UNPROFESSIONAL) a week before you move (UNRELIABLE), then this is your company. The company never notified me that my date was cancelled, I contacted Armando (Koa Moving employee) to confirm my move out date and was told they were all booked for the next two weeks. My move was small, to a short distance so if you're not looking to spend $600 plus on your move this is not your company. I wish you all the best of luck with your future moves but this company gets two thumbs down! To reply to you, Armando, at the pre-inspection you said the week I wanted to move was good and you would email me the quote. When I didn't hear from you in a week, I finally contacted you to confirm the date and price. A better business practice would be to follow up with your customers on what you say you will provide. You never emailed a quote or followed up with me after we both took time to do an pre-inspection of my home. read more

Moving is one of the most stressful tasks. Armando and his team at Kona made it borderline enjoyable with their professionalism, kindness, and excellent communication before, during, and after the move. They called to confirm the day before the move. They showed up on time and guys worked fast, but carefully. I've had movers in the past work super slow knowing they are being paid by the hour, but not these guys. Will definitely use them again! read more

They were fast! Reliable and very friendly! I would Definitely recommend anyone who is trying to use good reliable moving company. I sent a message on yelp and was immediately contacted unlike other moving companies that responded the next day or a few days later. Thanks guys read more

Payed our building to reserve the elevator from 1-5, movers were supposed to be at our house at 1. We called at 1 to see if they were on their way and they said they'd be done with their other move in 2 hours. By the time they were actually done it was almost 4Pm, so we would've missed our move-in window at our new building. We had already told them our time frame and if they couldn't make it, they should have let us know ahead of time. Very disappointed. And it said on the confirmation MOVE TIME: 1-3, NOT arrival time 1-3...it should probably be more clear on the confirmation. We were NOT informed that we needed to make a morning reservation in order to get service on time. So to anyone who needs something done in a timely manner this is not the business to go to! read more

Really grateful for the Koa Moving team. Armando was incredibly communicative about availability, what they offer and even called to confirm the day before. The team that helped me move were efficient, kind and fast! I highly recommend Koa Moving and Storage if you're looking for a smooth move! Thank you Koa Moving!! read more

Theses guys have just done a fantastic job of moving us! Provided proof of insurance up front, the owner, Armando, was in contact with me from the time I got the quote to the time they showed up (right on time, I might add). They were neat, courteous, and helpful all throughout the service. And VERY CAREFUL with our things! No dings on the walls, no scuffs anywhere, gently handling our furniture like it was fine antiques. I was worried because they weren't on our condo's list of approved movers, but Armando worked with the GM to get all the paperwork done in advance. Listen, I have done A LOT of moves, but these guys ROCK! If you are doing a local move, you can't go wrong. If it's a global move, have them deliver. I am really satisfied (and I have had a lot of moves go sideways with breakages and marks on wall, etc.) Thank you, Armando, for the great service!!! Appreciate everything... read more

I've used Koa moving twice now and they were absolutely wonderful to work with! I was impressed with how careful the movers were with our belongings and they didn't curse at all which I've experienced in the past with movers and wasn't very happy about with kids in the area. Armando was very responsive and dedicated to providing exceptional service. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of movers read more

FIVE STARS! I used Yelp to solicit estimates from five moving companies. Koa got back to me within THIRTY MINUTES! I waited for all five to get back to me, and Koa had the most competitive rates for our move. I called Koa and scheduled our move for the following day (!). On the day of the move, Koa's dispatcher called to let me know that they would be arriving in about 30 minutes. Four movers came and were incredibly professional and courteous. Andres, the captain, walked me through the moving process and all of the paperwork. He was THE BEST. Incredibly thorough, detail-oriented, approachable, and responsible. The movers were all efficient - even though they get paid by the hour, they all worked really quickly. They packed up the house and took really good care of the furniture. The move went really smoothly, and throughout the process, Andres always made sure to check if I was happy, and if I had any questions. I 100% would recommend Koa to anyone who is moving. Excellent service AND price. read more

When I sent out a request for services, Armando responded almost immediately and he was able to fit us in last minute, only days before we needed to move. He was awesome to work with, very flexible and responsive. His team that helped us move was fast, friendly and professional. They were able to pack up and drop off in two locations quickly and smoothly. Thank you guys so much for your hard work! read more

I had a small last minute move, so I called Armando & his crew to help me out! They were very accommodating & friendly, that it felt like I was kicking it with people I've known for a long time. It was a seamless move & I didn't stress at all! Special thanks to Ken & Taua for getting everything done quickly! Appreciate y'all very much! I'll be calling y'all again if I need to do another last minute job. Haha. read more

AWESOME!!! I used this business approximately a year ago for a Move & it was a smooth transition, I was so very pleased then & now. Recently I purchased a sofa & chair from a local furniture store. The store provided delivery with a fee, however delivery date way out there due to COVID situation. Contacted Armando @ Koa Moving & Storage , explained the need & guess what, they were able to fit me in to their day of deliveries. Upon arriving at my home, they placed & set everything up real nice, trashed removed & you're done! So Again Amazing Experience !!! They provided Customer Service beyond my expectations. Armando & his Crew were very professional, friendly, fast, respectful & hardworking, with a Can Do mindset. They go out of their way to do their best to work with you to get the job done!!! read more

Best moving company there is! Highly recommend these guys. They get the job done fast and do it safely while wearing masks. They're awesome, will definitely be using their service the next time we move too! read more

Finally received my items today from Hawaii to California! I was amazed at how the boxes were still in good condition along with all my items when I received them! I appreciate Armando and his team for providing such professional service when communicating with me and picking up the items. Also, thank you to Carlos and his team in CA for delivering the item so efficiently and smoothly. I had a few bad experiences with some moving companies before this and Koa Moving exceeded my expectations. They offer affordable prices and are honest with delivery time! I highly recommend them! read more

Although I didn't get to use their service. I reached out to about 10 moving companies today and Armando was the quickest to respond. A handful of companies have yet to even get back to me. I think it says a lot about a company when they are so responsive from the start. read more

Worked with the company a few years back; great company. Contacted them for a quote and Mr.Roberto was very informative. 10/10 recommend

Armando and Kathy from the office were awesome getting everything in order, Kenny and the boys called ahead and gave us time frame , excellent movers for our local move , I would use them again if we ever move again, it was a great experience and reasonable considering the furniture was heavy, thank you again Koa Movers ! read more

Used Koa, contracted by Hawaiian Shippers, for our move from Hawaii to Nevada. What a huge mistake. After Koa showed up to load our boxes, that we had packed ourselves. They charge us about an extra $1,000 dollars for a few minor packaging materials and packing fee to protect a few paintings. Once they left we noticed they had forgotten a few items. A very high end gaming computer and a painting that I painted in Art School many years ago. We contacted Koa and a mover came back to retrieve those missed items. He assured us that he would personally place them in the container with our other belongings. Told us there was nothing to worry about. All of our possessions would arrive safely in Nevada. What a bunch of crap. Nothing but problems after that. Ultimately, when we did receive our items in Nevada. Guess what? No painting and no gaming computer. We contacted Koa. Did the respond like a reputable company to take care of an error. No No No. they wouldn't even return our calls. Do not use this company, or Hawaiian Shippers, you will regret it if you do. THEY SUCK. In response to their response: It was your employee who picked up items left behind. The items he picked up are the same items that didn't arrive in our shipment. Why avoid calls? Why haven't YOU contacted Hawaiian Shippers about this? Hawaiian Shippers a "reputable company "? What a joke. All of my comments are accurate and true. Your company was paid to load our belongings into a container for ocean freight. Some items never arrived. Where are they? Do not use this company or you may never see your belongings again either. BEWARE. BEWARE. BEWARE. BEWARE. BEWARE. read more

Koa has helped us move 3 times, and every time we have been incredibly amazed at their respect for the house and our things, their speed, and how courteous they are. We have moved numerous times and have dealt with plenty of companies, Koa is by far the best, EVER. Every person on the team is diligent, moves quickly and efficiently and gets it done. The first move was out from POD #1 which my Mom and I oversaw as my husband was off island. This was a last minute call to Armando as we didn't think we needed it, but I opened the grate and realized it would go MUCH faster with more sets of hands. Armando and team were there the next day, he was keen to pull a team together to help us, setting hte tone for how he operates, above and beyond. They did not hesitate when I needed things removed or put onto high shelves, in the attic, turned around, etc. If I needed any help, they were on it. I cannot reiterate enough, they are so respectful, it is refreshing! All G rated language (even lifting the giant stuff!) which as a Mom, I appreciated with my 2 small girls and Mom there! Our second move was POD #2, and the last move was into the home we purchased out of our rental. Again the team was amazing from start to finish, on time, moved quick, worked through lunch to finish as soon as possible and helped arrange whatever we needed....even our 1200 pound wood slab 12' giant table!! Armando helped us resolve any problem that arose and the team worked amazing together. Can't say enough good things about the Koa team, we won't ever use anyone else for moving! read more

Not sure what all the negative reviews are about here. My experience was the exact opposite. Armando and his helper showed up right on time and did everything I wanted in the timeframe we had discussed. If you need help with a move, look no further. I can not give this company enough stars. They KNOW what they are doing (trust me on this, I've used "professional" movers before who didn't). I will use them again when I need help. Felt like family. read more

My family and I have moved quite a bit. KOA was by far the best moving experience we've had in over 20 years in the military. Super professional, friendly and helpful staff. Andres and his team met and exceeded every expectation read more

From the moment I asked for a request over yelp, I have been impressed by the quick and polite responses. The whole process was very seemless, professional and efficient. The movers were friendly and yes this does matter because they spent hours with me that day helping me pack up, pad, organize and sort what was going on that day and what wasnt. The price was very fair and SO worth it! We are scheduling them again for the second half of our stuff. Definitely would recommend to anyone who needs good movers! read more

I have used Koa Moving & Storage and I have to say these guys work as efficiently as possible. If you have a bunch of stuff to move, they will make their best effort finish the job in as little trips as possible. As for the staff, they are extremely friendly and were willing to cater to my needs when I asked them to do so. They were easy to communicate with. I recommend this company if you need a helping hand in moving. These guys will help you and do business with fairness and integrity. read more

This was definitely the A-Team! Not only did all of their names start with "A" - Armando, Andres and Al - but they didn't stop working until the job was done. I needed someone to work on a Sunday without charging me a premium rate, and they came through BIG TIME! They showed up on time with smiles throughout the day. They were very mindful that I was paying them by the hour, so they were always in motion - never taking a break even when I asked them to. Armando was very experienced and kept me informed the entire time. I actually only had planned to use them for one day, and I put them through the wringer! I have some heavy furniture! When I needed them the next day, too, I was elated that they were available. They showed up, on time, with smiles on their faces and worked just as hard. I couldn't have done it without them. MAHALO, Guys! read more

They did an excellent job packing and storing our items. When we found out we were not moving back to Oahu they brought out things to YB and shipped them to us in Hilo. Very easy to work with I highly recommend they. read more

Beyond professional team of movers, that offer great rates and were able to accommodate my move within days!

Thanks! read more

We hired this company to help us with our move because our regular mover was not available on the date that we needed ,Armando was so accommodating answering questions promptly and communicating when needed. The staff was so nice to us, everything went so smoothly. We were moved and set up in only a matter of hours. I can't brag enough on the professionalism promptness and kindness and careful considerations each of the staff had for us. It felt like family. We can't thank you enough! Great job! read more
