    Bought these moving heroes some Gyro's as a thank you for their work.
    Herald H.

    **5 Stars** Less Stress Moving did an excellent job helping my daughter relocate as she headed off to college. Robert and his team helped pack up her two-bedroom apartment, including her home office, and transported everything safely to her new place over two hours away up north. As a father, that gave me a lot of peace of mind. Every item arrived on time and intact, and the team handled the move professionally from start to finish. For an old man like me, the value was the piece of mind I got knowing my baby girl's belongings were packed, transported, and delivered safely made this transition much easier on our family. I appreciated the team's hard work so much that I even bought the guys lunch as a thank-you. Thank you, Robert, for your assistance in providing the reassurance we needed during a pivotal transition in our lives, milestones do not move themselves. Great job, Less Stress Moving.

    Solid crew!

    Sometimes you think you don't need movers, but it's worth finding a team that works with what you have. Less Stress Moving helped customize my move around my timeframe and even gave me packing tips ahead of time that helped save time (money) on moving day. I had a custom desk that was almost impossible to take apart, and they didn't give up...I gave up before they did. They were also so kind to my pets. Definitely worth it!

    I called Less stress for a last-minute job from Hollywood to Silver Lake. Their pricing was very fair and they were able to help me out on Mother's Day since I had other movers cancel last minute. Thank you so much to Robert Chris and Micheal.

    I recently hired Rob and Chris again this time for a furniture delivery. The guys picked up a hutch and buffet table for me everything was wrapped protected and delivered in a timely fashion. Rob gave me a 2 hour pick up window 7:00-9:00 am he was able to narrow down the arrival window the day of the pick up to 8 AM. I really appreciate them fitting me in. They're already busy schedule. Great rates great guys amazing service!!!

    Best movers ever!

    Rob, Justin, Danny and Chris were THE BEST. SO professional. Courteous. Respectful of our home, our things and our time. Throughout the course of our move we all laughed and became friends. We truly felt like these guys really cared about making this stressful time a great experience for us old folks. They really went above and beyond. I think we reminded them of their grandma and grandpa and wanted to make sure the move went smoothly. There is not a single thing that went wrong. Our furniture and belongings were delivered flawlessly, not a single scratch, dent or defect. We think the world of these young men, and highly recommend them. It's always a pleasure to watch the young ones starting out in their own business, working hard, and making it happen! Very proud of you guys and we wish you all the success in the future. Reach out and give them a try. You won't be sorry! We just booked them for another move! I will update when it is complete!

    They wrapped all of my furniture very thoroughly.

    Rob and his team are the best! I've used Less Stress four times now, and they always come through. Their rates are competitive, and they're always available. Can't recommend enough!

    Rob Chris and Cg

    Had an emergency move out from Rialto to Ontario. Fortunately I was able to contact Rob and he was able to come out and give me an estimate. Pricing was fair service was great all my furniture was properly wrapped and transported big thanks to Rob Chris and CG!!!

    Truck that was used for the move!

    Exceptional Service - Highly Recommend Robert & His Team!…read more I cannot say enough good things about my recent experience with Trek Movers. Moving is usually incredibly stressful, but Robert and his team made the entire process absolutely seamless. From the moment they arrived, they were professional, efficient, and incredibly careful with all of my belongings. Here is what stood out the most: - Punctual & Hardworking: They arrived right on time and didn't waste a single minute. - Expert Handling: Everything--from fragile boxes to heavy furniture--was wrapped securely and handled with the utmost care. Not a single item was damaged. - Fantastic Attitude: Robert and his crew were friendly, polite, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was placed exactly where I wanted it in my new home. If you are looking for a moving company that is reliable, honest, and does an excellent job from start to finish, ask for Robert's team. I will absolutely be using Trek Movers for any future moves!

    Greg & his team crushed it. When the van first pulled up, I was petrified that all of my things…read morewould not fit on it but it did. They moved my stuff in record time and took care of everything really well. However.... after the move, some shiesty things happened. They said that they couldn't take a credit card and would only accept Zelle, but charged me the credit card price which is $20 more per hour. The owner tried to say that there's some sort of fees, but there are no fees for Zelle. The difference was well over $200 so this is why they're getting three stars and almost got two. As a business owner, I can't really refer them just for this reason.

    Foreman: Jesus and Jose…read more Extremely pleased with services. Moved locally from DTLA to Sawtelle area. No issues with furniture being damaged. Everything was wrapped in blankets/wraps appropriately. They also took apart my girlfriend's IKEA bedframe and put it back together for us in the new apartment. Everything went smoothly. They had extra boxes for us to purchase if needed.

    Do Not Reccomend, be warned…read more I hired this company because of its strong reviews and was willing to pay more for a professional, efficient move. Unfortunately, my experience was the opposite. I paid about $1,650 before tip, roughly $1,800 total, and ended up with damaged furniture, a damaged wall, a broken TV stand, and an excessively long move. Two of the three movers appeared to speak almost no English, and the third spoke limited English and had to translate for the others. The issue was that the crew could not reliably understand or follow instructions. Several times I made specific requests and was told "OK, OK," only for the crew to continue doing exactly what I had asked them not to do. At one point I had to repeat myself about five times and finally stop them and insist they change the loading order. It should not require an argument to get movers to follow a clear instruction. I own expensive Stickley furniture and other high-end pieces and explicitly told the crew that several items needed exceptional care. I repeatedly asked for more padding and blankets because certain pieces were not adequately protected. On at least two occasions I specifically asked for another blanket, and the mover simply repositioned the existing blankets and kept wrapping. When the furniture was unwrapped, I found scuffs on leather, scratches and chips in wood, marks on my TVs, a broken leg on my nearly new TV stand, and damage to several other pieces. The problem seemed less like laziness and more like lack of experience, organization, and leadership. The time reinforces that concern. My previous move involved significantly more belongings, more preparation by the movers, and a destination about 30 minutes farther away. It also used three movers and was completed in about 5.5 hours, including double drive time. Based on that, I expected this smaller move to take about four hours, five at the absolute most. Instead, it took about eight. Everything except furniture was already packed, I had removed many fragile and awkward items myself, and I had reserved a loading area and dedicated elevator. Even so, individual trips between the apartment and truck were taking roughly 20 minutes despite the distance being only about 32 steps each way. I expected roughly $800-$1,000 plus tip. Instead, I paid about $1,650 plus tip. In my estimation, I paid at least $650-$800 more because of the crew's inefficiency and lack of experience. The most unacceptable incident involved damage to my old apartment. Near the end of the load-out, I found a substantial fresh gouge/chip next to an electrical outlet. I immediately brought it to the movers' attention, and they denied causing it. I had plugged my vacuum into that exact outlet and vacuumed the area no more than ten minutes earlier. The damage was not there then, and it was there after the movers worked there. Damage can happen during a move. What bothered me was being told something that repeatedly that, was plainly not credible. I contacted the company immediately and sent photos. I had to follow up repeatedly before being told the claims department would contact me. The following business day came and went without contact, leaving me to address the damage with my landlord. There was also an issue with the drive between locations. Before leaving, the lead mover and I compared Google Maps and both showed about 29 minutes. The truck then took a different route and arrived about 11 minutes later. Because the company charges double drive time, that effectively became about 22 billable minutes @ 200 per hour. The workers were personable and they did work. My criticism is that the company sent a crew that appeared inadequately trained, inadequately supervised, inefficient, unable to communicate effectively, and unable or unwilling to follow clear instructions regarding expensive property. I chose this company because its reviews made me believe paying a premium would buy professionalism, efficiency, and care. That is not what I received. I would not use this company again and cannot recommend them

    Where should I begin with my review for Movers LA?…read more My last move was about 2-3 years ago but I had way less things so this time around, I obviously need to hire movers again. From my first move I actually made an excel sheet to compare pricing. I used the same excel sheet and started calling for pricing to see what the best rates would be. Every single place I called had an increase in cost, even they offered any kind of Yelp promo or if you paid with cash. Some places were charging about $100+ per hour, service fees, not including shrink wrap, pretty much would be charged for everything and could possibly spend up to $400+ for a less than 7 mile move with 2 bedrooms, minimal furniture, and mostly pre-pack and do majority of the move would be done by my roomie and I. With all that being said, I never gave up and kept calling different companies. I'm so glad I was patient and stumbled across Movers LA. Their pricing is super fair ($85 per hour if you pay cash)! I can't applaud James and his crew enough. I was given a time frame between 2-5pm. James called me around 3:30pm to confirm that he'll arrive around 4pm and he got here 4pm sharp! They were super efficient, got the job done in less than 4.5 hours and our new place is all stairs. They are the best, I highly recommend them!!

    It's gotten EVEN WORSE! When we ask for any sort of reimbursement, they email back saying we are…read more"gang members". The horrid customer service is actually hilarious. This is what happens when you send and very clear email with all photo evidence and post an honest review of social media. They said they would NOT REIMBURSE US AT ALL unless we TOOK DOWN OUR REVIEW! We said we no longer trust them and I guess the "gang members" are me and my fiancé? The damaged photos are on Yelp! I am in shock by how this man must be mentally ill or a just a total liar. Wow, we will continue to post updates. Our honest reviews are "threats" I guess???????? MIND BOGGLING Also we never asked for a refund for the move cost but reimbursement for the damage. Also, we were always calm and respectful and they hadn't replied in 2 MONTHS UNTIL WE POSTED A REVIEW. The "HELP DESK" IS A JOKE. Nobody responded THE HITS KEEP COMING GUYS! They are not accredited by the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and their address seems to be fake.
