    Scratch on floor of pick up location.
    Sheri L.

    I used Yelp & read the reviews for 3 local moving companies. I then called each of the 3 I choose. Cal-Safe Movers had a live person who picked up and assisted me immediately. The other 2 companies unfortunately had a voicemail service that I left a message on. Both companies said someone would be in touch in 2-4 hours. Although 1 called within the timeframe I'd already made my decision. The 3rd company took 3 days to return the call. So back to Cal-Movers, Carissa assisted me via the phone & emails. She was awesome. 2 days later Eddy, Nathan,& Gabe arrived promptly. Now I'd authorized 2 guys but 3 showed up. I then really felt I had no choice and had to use all 3. Initially I felt miffed they'd pulled a fast on on me. However in the long run they were able to complete the job in my minimum time window. Had it been 2 guys I most likely would have gone over. In retrospect I probably paid about what it would have been either way. The guys were pleasant, professional, quick, did not waste any time, and treated my belongings with TLC & respect. In the end I did have 1 item of furniture slightly damaged & a few scratches on my old places laminate floor. You know it happens and wasn't due to neglect or abuse. This is why you get the "insurance". I've placed a claim so once resolved I will add if I was satisfied it was taken care of in a fair & timely manner or not.

    They carefully wrapped everything! No scuffs or scratches!

    Cal-Safe Movers are amazing! I needed a very large piano and some other furniture moved from a tight space 300 miles away. I was looking into renting a truck and hiring people to help load and unload, but things were getting complicated, stressful, and expensive. After talking to Ron at Cal-Safe Movers, my stress dissapeared. He took care of arranging everything. Cal-Safe Movers Ernest and Nate were able to pick up my items with one of their great trucks and safely transport and unload everything. They were easy to communicate with, arrived on time, were super friendly, and handled our furniture with care. True professionals! I highly recommend this company. Having heavy things moved hundreds of miles is not cheap, but their pricing is straigtforward and very competitive. Shop around if you want, but I doubt you'll find a better moving company. Thank you, Cal-Safe Movers!!!

    The start of the move!

    I've used Cal-Safe movers for several moves and have been impressed every time with the quality of their service, their moving "team" as well as their extremely fair pricing. Do not hesitate.... Call them!

    Nate, Jason, and the crew with 1 of 3 trucks they used to move our business.

In the meantime, I needed movers to extract a few items for my temporary housing set-up. Not knowing anyone out here, I asked Broad St Storage (who I also highly recommend) and they put me in contact with The Moving Experience. The 2 gentlemen assigned to my job were friendly, courteous, and had the utmost respect for my property. It wasn't easy getting the items I needed out, but they managed to do it with precision and care. While the move here was stressful, I'm so glad to say my dealings with The Moving Experience were anything but.

This was by far the most unprofessional and abusive moving company I have ever dealt with, and I implore you AVOID this company at all costs. If you want your items and furniture to be taken care of and arrive UNDAMAGED or ARRIVE AT ALL (as they did not for me), HIRE ANY OTHER MOVING COMPANY!! They do not care about you or your belongings. Here's a snapshot of my experience: I hired them to move my belongings from San Luis Obispo to San Francisco. From the very beginning in San Luis Obispo, the movers did not use blankets, padding, or any materials to meaningfully protect my items. I watched them place my dresser, nightstand, bed frame, and other wood furniture DIRECTLY onto the concrete sidewalk, then stack everything in the truck bare. By the time my items were delivered in San Francisco, nearly every major piece of furniture was damaged. My dresser and nightstand had multiple chips and scratches, my bed frame and headboard were gouged, my refrigerator had a large dent, and my picture frames were scuffed and chipped, and ripped, some of them irreplaceable. In addition to the damage, some of my belongings never arrived. My rug and lampshade are still missing to this day. During delivery, the movers also brought out items that did not belong to me, including a mattress and multiple framed pictures. I informed them immediately that the mattress was not mine and it was removed, but I was left with another customer's picture frame. This raises serious concerns for me about how customers' property was being handled. The most egregious part of this move occurred during delivery in San Francisco. After the movers arrived, saw the apartment, and began unloading, they did not raise any issue or mention any additional charges. However, halfway through unloading, they demanded an additional $412 via a Change Order and refused to continue carrying my belongings upstairs unless I signed and paid immediately. I was told my items would be left in the lobby if I did not agree. This happened in the middle of the move, after a significant portion of my belongings had already been brought into the apartment. I felt I had no practical choice but to sign in order to complete delivery, and I believe the way this fee was imposed mid-move was misleading, coercive, and improper. When I politely pointed out some of the damage, one of the movers, became hostile. He shouted at me, saying "F*** you man, I'm done," before storming out of my apartment. He left my mattress lying on the floor and the headboard loose and improperly installed. The other mover offered minimal help before also leaving, but the job was incomplete and I was left to deal with the situation on my own. After the move, I tried multiple times to reach the company's manager, Kevin, who was my main point of contact. I left several voicemails explaining that I wanted to discuss the serious issues I had faced. He never called me back--and has yet to do so. Adding insult to injury, before all of this, when I asked to reschedule my delivery from Sunday to Monday, which happened to be Labor Day, the company agreed no problem but sent me a text saying, "Yes, we can do that, no problem, but please tip our guys well as they'll be giving up their Labor Day." Asking for a tip in advance of service is highly unprofessional. I would happily tip for a job well done, but this could not have been more of a disastrous move. In the end, my total charges increased from the original $2,100 "Not to Exceed" estimate to $2,500 after the mid-move Change Order. My belongings were damaged and some items were missing, one of the movers verbally berated me and left the job incomplete, and I was required to sign and pay an additional fee in the middle of unloading in order to complete delivery. The company has since failed to meaningfully communicate directly with me. I have filed formal complaints with the Better Business Bureau and the California Bureau of Household Goods and Services. This company's conduct during my move was reckless and abusive, and in my experience highly misleading. If you value your belongings, your money, or your peace of mind, I strongly recommend choosing another company. I have attached photos showing the lack of protection and the resulting damage so others can make an informed decision.

    Recently, I had to arrange for a local move to a care facility. The place recommended ASAP movers,…read moreso I called them to schedule a small amount of packing and the actual move. Two movers arrived on time, packed some kitchen items and clothing, and covered the furniture items so they could be safely moved. A couple of items had to be disassembled for moving. They were ready to go in about 2 hours. When we all arrived at the location, the two movers looked at my unit and started moving things in, which included an elevator and some long halls. As necessary, they reassembled the furniture, arranged it with some guidance from me and hooked up the cable and TV. It all happened flawlessly and in a little over two more hours. As it turned out, the place did not suit me so after a month, I called ASAP to come, pack me up and move me back to my place. They had left the boxes and packing materials so that saved a little cost and time. Again, a flawless production in a reasonable amount of time with no damage. The movers were all very nice and respectful of me and my belongings.

We were actually referred to them through U-Haul. After 10 years it was time to move out of a 1400sf 3br+, 2ba house. I guess we had a lot more stuff than I thought as the truck we rented ended up being completely packed from floor to ceiling (and front to back) using what I can only describe as some amazing pro Tetris skills. These guys took a look over the house analyzing everything that had to go into the truck and maximized the space efficiency at speed. It didn't matter how big/heavy/awkward the furniture - these guys worked together to make it happen at blazing speed. Stairs were not a problem either. I've moved a few times and I'd never seen anything like this especially for the price. I even hired them for a 2nd job of removing the 10 years of accumulated junk that we weren't taking. I will most definitely 100% hire these guys again and recommend them to anyone looking for a moving assist.

    I hired this company a few years ago and regret not leaving a review earlier…read more They were on time and made unloading a full truck (1 bedroom/studio of items) seem easy. Unloading in less than an hour, while I had the two of them scheduled for 2 hours. I just needed help unloading but they are also able to help do some unpacking and set up too. Their methods were a bit questionable and there was some damage to my furniture. What was most unsettling was their comments. Although they seemed polite up front, I found some of their remarks were fairly racist. I did not feel safe and would not hire them again.
