Carmina was wonderful in moving the process forward and Hugo, Jose and Jonathan were awesome in getting us out, over, and up on move day :)

    We chose Ontrack after reading great reviews as to their navigation of the (sometimes harrowing)…read moreOakland Hills. What I encountered was end-to-end excellence, from customer service to their excellent moving team. I knew our move would be a large one, so I booked a 26' truck and five-person crew. As the day of the move approached, I had lots of last-minute worries and questions and Sam, in Customer Service, answered every one and generally calmed my nerves, assuring me my move team would assist if we needed last-minute help. On the day of the move, the team arrived right on time. The foreman, Guillermo, assessed our situation and calmly confirmed my suspicious that we'd need two trucks (this my error, not OnTrack's). Before I could panic, he had contacted his team and we arranged that ours be a two day move. Guillermo's team wrapped our furniture and had the truck loaded swiftly. At the new house, we had a few of our family help direct traffic. I'd labelled every box with a color-coded room label and the team got everything to the proper room. On day two, Sammy -- part of the original crew -- acted as lead and we repeated the process. Here, a number of items still needed a bit of packing and his team had everything done in record time and -- bless them - marked the boxes for the proper room destinations without prompting. As I now unpack, I'm finding everything in excellent condition and couldn't be more grateful. We'd heard stories about moving nightmares and wanted to share a happy ending. Guillermo and Sammy were AMAZING and their crews were very hard working. Tips: my sister had a table of bottled waters, bags of chips, and other snacks ready for the team when we arrived at the new house. The team appeared grateful for the sustenance. We also tipped each person individually, in cash.

    ZippGo moving boxes provided a wonderful service for our move. After seeing some neighbors using a…read morereusable box service, I decided to look into using something similar. ZippGo rents you a certain amount of boxes based on how many rooms/square feet you are moving, and they deliver the boxes to your address, you use them for a move, and they pick them up at the new address. It was easy to schedule and make sure the drop off and pickup worked at an appropriate time. The boxes themselves are sturdy plastic, and the top interlocks so you don't need any packing tape. The boxes fit on top of each other which makes them easy to stack and move. You can also pick box inserts that are designed for plates and glassware which made it so easy to move these items. I would recommend ZippGo in a heartbeat- it made our move faster, easier, and more eco friendly too!

    I am so incredibly grateful for ZippGo! I tried going back to regular cardboard boxes that I picked…read moreup for free for a small move--big mistake! The difference in packing efficiency was so noticeable compared to my last few moves using their system, that I reached out to ZippGo this morning with a last-minute request to switch over. Even though their driver was already on the road, Sarah was incredibly responsive and quickly worked out solutions to get me what I needed in record time. Sarah and her driver, Javier's, dedication to customer service was truly impressive. That said, I'd recommend planning ahead rather than making last-minute requests like I did! Note that their drivers don't work on Sundays and Mondays, so be sure to schedule your box deliveries in advance. ZippGo's reusable box system is a genuine time-saver that makes moving so much easier and more streamlined. 10/10 would recommend to anyone moving!

    Huge move from San Jose, CA to Daytona Beach, Fl. Coast to coast…read more I feel I dodged a bullet with many moving brokers trying to secure a contract through a hard sell and promise of *literally* unbelievable rate quotes. Doing further research I found there's a common and growing scam to quote low, then hold your stuff hostage until you pay surprise extra and extreme charges. Anyway, I went with U-Pack after researching the various container drop-off and load options. Contract terms were straightforward and no surprises on drop off. Both the start and end, U-Pack and their shipment team were super easy going with the schedule. Just call a day before drop-off/pick-up and they were able to make it happen. I had 3 cubes and two went to destination and the 3rd was stored by U-pack for a bit while I secured a longer term storage unit, and they dropped it off there. Make no mistake, packing and loading the cubes is a huge freakin' task. Do it in layers with large flat items working as "walls" to help hold stuff in. And ratchet strap each layer. A special call out to JW, the forklift operator in San Jose! He was one with that machine and able to maneuver with extreme skill and precision, including a very narrow and long driveway with tight gate and cypress tree. He's a magic man and was able to place the cubes perfectly between sidewalk and street and back yard driveway - saving me $ and headache dealing with the San Jose tax assessor regarding a permit if cubes block street parking and/or sidewalk. Other thanks to Skee (Ski?) at the drop in Florida. Also skilled w/ the lift and super accommodating on placing the cubes where I wanted. Finally, Gerry (Jerry?) and Lorenzo at dispatch. You'll be given a pretty huge window (like the whole day) for drop-off/pickup, but I'd give a call and they'd be able to narrow that window to a couple hours.

    We moved in 3 different stages, each time using 4 pods. U-Pack did an amazing job. The customer…read moreservice was exceptional, the driver was courteous and helpful, and everything was delivered as promised. I absolutely U-Pack for any move you may have.

    Pros: cheap. Cons:…read moreyou get what you pay for. Confessions: I'm not paying the bill personally, but by virtue of being associated with a local group that stores stuff here [in a crazy small 4x4 space, anyway], I find myself there more than I'd care to share. That said... note the gate hours of 7am-7pm; I realize a lot of places have 'em, so can't ding them for it, just a drag... after commuting to the office and back, odds of hitting a 7pm is slim on weekdays. But merely noted to note it. Back to the story... __________ Trip 1. On our first trip there, we got a prize of an extra lock. (We're in a "sub" unit, so one master for the outer space, the other for the individual inner door). Went to leave, and the key wouldn't come out of the lock. Really, like... really? I ate my Wheaties today, and couldn't get the dang thing out. Hit it with WD-40 and liquid wrench (since I'm a boy who has this stuff sitting around the car); no luck, but the key did turn better. Being the concerned tenant, we went to the office. No one home. Called the posted number, went to voicemail. Called the emergency number -- though I wouldn't consider an unlocked outer door an emergency by any stretch -- and also voicemail. Left messages. No callback. Slept well knowing we did what we could to notify someone. __________ Trip 2. Went by the office the next day to speak to someone in the office. No one home, just a troubling "We'll be back at..." sign in the window. Um, okay -- but rest assured, our day isn't going to be rescheduled around the office staff's errands. __________ Trip 3. This after the office woman called the account contact with all sorts of claims of lock theft and such rubbish, but did call back to apologize (apparently she realized she was being a bit harsh). Make a 2pm appointment to come by with the lock (note appointment is during business hours... she had grocery shopping to do). Stopped into the office, she looked at the lock and said it wasn't their key -- which are round -- and if we had to have keys made, we should have used the local locksmith (Security Locksmith, nice folks by the by). Apparently the stamped lettering in the key "Sec... Locksmith" wasn't a clue for the non-FBI types to identify. We left with the lock, still stuck with a key in it, as we were told it was our problem to deal with, since our choice of keys ruined the lock. __________ Trip to Security Locksmith. Nice guys (as noted), yup, that's our key, and they removed it. Oh, and the problem? One of the pins went out in the lock, so factory key or their professionally duplicated key would have gotten stuck equally well. The lock has since been returned to the office -- once we found a moment it was convenient for them to be in the office -- to deal with their defective lock. __________ Would I go there to store stuff? Nope. Any marginal cost savings are negated by the hassle if/when things go sideways. __________ Customer service review. See "Cons", "Trip 1," "Trip 2," and "Trip 3"

She was available for every date that I requested. Her packing, and organizing skills are are impeccable. She is fast, yet also cares for your breakable items as if they were her own. Kristen is responsible, pays attention to detail, honest, and extremely organized. Her rates are also very reasonable. I moved at the end of June 2023. Everything arrived without incident! I highly recommend Kristen for all your organizing, and packing needs.

I had tried to get organized, but all the organizing "stuff" I bought, as well all my other stuff, only added to the clutter. I'm good at a lot of things, but organizing a home is not one of them, and I literally did not know what to do. So I turned to the Internet. I looked here on Yelp. Kristin has great reviews, so I called her. She came over on a Saturday and spend the day restoring order to my home. I was so discouraged with my house that I just hid in my bedroom while Kristin did her magic. When I came out, it was like a weight been lifted off my shoulders, the sunshine through the clouds. LOL. Kristin took away all the Amazon boxes that had been piling up. She set up systems so that I could do things efficiently and logically--a place to put incoming mail, a place to put groceries, everything for making tea and coffee put together in the same location, etc. I have a lot of hobbies, and little bits and pieces of them were scattered all over the house. Kristin managed to gather, sort and organize all of them. Amazing. I was a little hesitant to hire an organizer because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find my things if somebody moved them. That ended up not being an issue at all, just the opposite. Now, if I want to find something and I don't know where it is, all I have to do is say, "Well, where is the logical place for it?" And there it is. Much better than my old method of trying to remember, searching the house, and then going out and buying a duplicate because I couldn't find what I needed. The best thing is now that my place is organized, I feel much more motivated and capable of keeping it this way on my own. I feel more serene now, and, my life is just, well, better. LOL. Highly recommended.
