Meathead was recommended to me by friends. The three team members sent out to move me were great-5 stars for Cameron, Lorenzo and Felix. I worked my butt off to make sure they could move my boxes from my house to the truck, then truck to storage, as quickly as possible and within the 3 hour minimum quote. Still, I was charged an extra hour due to 'traffic.' The phone estimate I received included a 45 minute expected drive time, doubled to include return time. I get that. When I complained later, I was told that 45 miles/45 minutes was only an estimate. Since this was all verbal- and I had written down 1.5 hours, I figured the time to load and unload was where I could control costs. Nope. It all goes out the window if there is traffic. It took me 40 min to get from my house to the storage unit; it took the truck 69 minutes. That equals an extra hour. Yep.Do not book them if there is any possibility of traffic. Even a Tuesday morning at 1130 AM, 60 Fwy to Rubidoux. If you do, please ask them to DOUBLE the drive time estimate so you aren't surprised. Less than an hour to load, less than an hour to offload, and 69 min to go 36 miles on a Tues morning. I do not understand. To Meathead's credit, they reviewed the telematics tracking system and they state the truck never deviated from its course the whole time. Nevertheless, I don't understand AND more, I feel they should have made it clear that I would be responsible for extra time due to "traffic" that I never encountered. read more

This review is not in regards to quality of their work but rather their pricing. Called to set up a small move that only required a handful of items. Was quoted over $900 for two hours with 2 movers and a truck. Got the job done by one of their competitors for $409 and was allocated three hours. My advice to the company, work on your outrageous pricing. read more

The Meatheads rammed my BRAND NEW couch into a wall corner and ripped the fabric, and managed to also crack the foot of the couch. You would think that they would acknowledge responsibility since the couch was brand new -- but they didn't. They gave me the runaround and offered $50. If you have anything of value, I recommend you go with someone else. Meatheads can move things but you can't trust them to be safe with it. read more

Absolute worst customer service. Didn't even get to the moving part because I had to cancel 2 days prior. I originally requested an August 1st move date and then requested to change it to July 28th, but MHM put my move in date for July 27th. The customer service rep I first spoke with was laughing on the phone over the issue and said "I wish I had a magic wand to fix this, but I don't" and was then told her managers were reviewing the issue and I could speak to them, but it would pull them away from helping me find a resolution (as if this was my fault and I was the burden). She then laughed as we got off the phone and told me good luck. Spoke to another rep the next day that was calling to confirm my move date of 7/27 and I told him it should be 7/28. He promised me a call back since he would personally fix the issue. Never heard back and just told them to cancel the move. Their email response? "Your move has been cancelled." No apology. No offer to make things right. Just a flat response to match their flat customer service. read more

Workers came to my block to help a neighbor move. They blocked entirely the sidewalk and street off. When I went for a walk with my daughter we had to walk out into the street to get around because the workers thought it was hilarious they made it impassable otherwise. We tried to pass the other way and were laughed at and smirked at by the employees. So yeah kind of douches in my opinion. I wouldn't use this service for sure. read more

The tarmac on the road in front of my house was damaged by their constant turning the wheel of their truck to navigate the neighbors driveway. The driver did not accept any responsibility and was extremely rude. I would not deal with this company. read more

No, I did not film your crew loading up my worldly possessions, as I happened to be a bit busy during my big move day, with me new MEATHEAD buds ! "Superior" service company. From my initial quote with (actually, friendly folk's,) specific item/billing review (with an Area Account Manager,) and delivery to my business ~~~~~~~ ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS. Meathead uses: vented, friendly professional movers ,,, that move like they have a damn PURPOSE! Do not take a chance moving your valuables with anyone else. My crew accomplished their task ahead of my anticipated day charge. Although they weren't the pretty young creatures on Meathead Movers advertisement, it's cool. I read somewhere that dudes are smarter AND stronger. Should there be any meathead ladies that would like to challenge my two freaken bulls; let's set up a fair challenge. Yeah, a fair challenge means; ladies don't show and lose! Excuse my rant. In closing, ya need to move? Call MEATHEAD MOVERS ~ ya knucklehead! ¥ read more

Meathead Movers - A piece of very heavy furniture ! - Movers Near Me - Anaheim, California

I am literally running to Yelp to write this review. I moved TODAY and these guys were INCREDIBLE!! I am so impressed. Not only are they top notch professionals at what they do but they are extremely pleasant to work with. Kevin and Alex made my day making this move easy-peasy. They hustled the entire time and had the best attitudes. Super personable. I can't recommend them enough. Best money I've ever spent. I WILL BE A RETURNING CUSTOMER!! read more

Worst moving company ever! First they gave me a 9-5pm window. Called several times for an ETA which they could not provide. By 5pm they were a no show. read more

I could not be more pleased with the way our move went today. The company was extremely communicative as was our foreman, Michael, with Ace and Jose as his teammates. They arrived on time, needed minimal direction and cruised through the move in less than the allotted time. We will be using them again as this is a business move and we hire movers several times a year. read more

Two guys showed up on time. They got the job complete and went above and beyond to help with the assembly of two complex beds . Thanks so much read more

Well considering that they just called to cancel less than 3 weeks out due to them "revisiting" their original quote and trying to double the charge. This is after the deeply misinformed salesman pushed and pushed me to sign the agreement and "lock in" my move. This is beyond gross, dishonest, and shameful behavior and I hope this causes potential customers to reconsider when Meathead attempts to sell you because if they can't even stand by their word over the phone I am grateful I didn't also end up entrusting them with my belongings. Look elsewhere. read more

Company is a big joke. I had the worst move I've ever had. I must have moved 12 times in my life including 4 times over different continents. I've never seen such a bad joke. They pay their movers 15$/hour charges you 75$. They were totally untrained. But the worst part is the company. You sign 5 guys at 9am 4 shows up at 11am. They couldn't get the job done so they try to charge me for a new crew that won't come for another week. One hour later and an unnecessary screaming contest and a threat of a bad review (all they care about). Read all the fine prints 3 times or you'll pay more for a terrible service. My last conversation was to dispute a charge of 400$ I didn't understand but their argument I signed the contract (right that said 5 guys not 4 and one day not too). Ok well I can't see the value proposition. Got a 2000$ service charged 4000$ and it went wrong and you're not sorry. Long story short ended up paying a fortune for a move that took 3 days instead of what could have been done in one with well trained movers. Marketing scam. read more

This is my second time using Meathead Movers, first time writing a review. The first move was 6 years ago, and we needed help getting everything up the stairs to our new place, so I took a chance with Meathead Movers. They came over for an in-house estimate, quoted me a price, and then worked with me to find a solution that best met our needs. When they arrived in the day of the move, they wasted NO time, and got right to work, under my direction. Holy cow, they were efficient and FAST. It's no lie- they jog when they aren't carrying your things. They had our 24' truck unloaded in around an hour, my jaw dropped. Absolutely no wasted time. Now that we are moving again, no surprise that we needed help with these stairs again, so of course I called Meathead Movers again. I had them booked for two hours and literally ran out of things for them to carry. They did not disappoint and I always recommend them to people. Oh! And they are super polite, which impressed the heck out of my 70+ year old mother. They saved my poor knees, and I am super grateful. read more

If you have nothing of great value and want to pay a high price to move and damage almost all your items then use this people . They damaged my garage door, walls, trim, broke pieces of my dryer, scratched the side of my washer, damaged the sofas feet by forcefully pushing it through the door instead of unscrewing the feet, scratched my brand new floor by pushing the refrigerator and offered $100 to compensate for all these damages. This place is absolutely horrible. read more

Why in the world would you waste 15 minutes of my time to give me a rough estimate of how much 2 movers and a truck would be? I'm not sitting through a 15 minute sales pitch to hear a number. It's not that complicated. read more

I've never been so disgusted with any company before. Meathead refused to disclose their rates until you spend 30 minutes on the phone giving personal irrevelent information. They try to hook you so that you wont feel bad that you spent 30 minutes with them. In the end, here are their rates: 225.00 an hour for a crew of two men. No wonder they don't want to tell you upfront. Also, they pay yelp to remove bad reviews. There is nothing special or different about this company. They use the same help as any other moving company. Pass. read more

October 6th 2023 was a crushing disaster. I sent photos of the most valuable items (to me) to the Meathead Movers the night before the scheduled moving day. Upon their arrival, I once again told them to be very careful in handling the items. They reassured me that they were professional and well trained. Within 35 minutes of moving my furniture to their truck, I was told my china cabinet was broken when one of the movers tried to move it out of the way by pushing on the glass front! Upon unloading the furniture into my new location, the person declared my nearly new 55" television was damaged and unrepairable. Do not hire this company! You will be very disappointed in the result if you do! read more

I'm writing to share my disappointment with our move experience. The service we received was NOT AT ALL what was promised. 1. We were promised 3 movers. TWO arrived. 2. They began at 9:30 and did not leave our origin until 3:09!! Way past the THREE HOUR time limit. The impact of having just 2 movers definitely affected their quantity of hours needed and their efficiency. 4. As of 4:55 pm, they still had NOT arrived to our new home to unpack. 5. I am so unsatisfied with this company. I chose a very quality price, expecting quality customer service and care. This is unacceptable. The 2 movers were very kind and hardworking. But, it was NOT enough and, again, NOT what was promised or contracted! 6. Yes, they did offer an hourly rate discount, BUT it took well over 8 hours. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. read more

The team did a great job packing our stuff! Quick, efficient, and thorough. They were experienced and really took the time to listen and let us know what they were doing. We highly recommend them and will use them next time. read more

Meathead Movers - Boxes up and stacked neatly - Movers Near Me - Anaheim, California

THINK AGAIN before hiring this nightmare of a company. If you want to spend THOUSANDS of dollars and NOT have them FINISH your move, Meathead movers is for you.... This company is a complete false advertising SCAM. They charge you for Each peice of furniture before they see it and before you are moved. They also charge you by every 15 minutes. My husband and I told the woman on the phone (Lisa) we needed 4 men for the job. We got the quote of $1500 minimum and $2700 not to exceed price (based on 8 hour day) sounds good, so we thought. They show up at 10:30am ONLY 3 movers. All overweight not in shape ! My husband had to be the fourth man and move EVERYTHING with them. The job wouldn't have gotten done if it wasn't for my husband putting in the work. After they loaded the Truck at the first house and the mover in charge (christian) tells us there's not enough room on truck for the rest of our belongings. (8 boxes, vanity , mirror, 6 stools and some gym equipment Is left) I call the office to tell them we need another truck or to do two trips. They refuse, telling us that we didn't notify them all of our furniture on the phone prior to move. At this point we stress to them we will pay more we just need everything to be moved today. They tell us we have to LEAVE THE REST of our belongings at the old house and it's not their responsibility because we didn't notify them of these items!!! At one point the movers were all talking and joking around downstairs while my husband was moving furniture upstairs by himself so the job could be finished faster; I had to tell the movers to go upstairs and help him because we are paying them to help. At the end of the day 10pm when we were finally done. The mover (christian) had the nerve to pressure us to write him a good review in front of him. There was Zero Professionalism. Movers took their masks off for long periods of time while in the house and were chatting to each other and to us in close proximities. That is unacceptable with COVID 19 social distancing requirements that were assured to us when we signed the Moving contract. So my Husband and I spent $2600 and 3/4 of our furniture and belongings are still sitting At the old house!!!!!!! We now have to rent a uhaul to move the rest of our things ourselves. This company is the biggest false advertising SCAM. Save yourself the money and the headache. Go with Someone else. read more

This was the worst move we have ever had and I had no idea how bad it was until 4 days later when I went to my old place to "grab a few things". We went all out because I had a broken leg! We hired packets, tipped over $500 for movers and packets, gave each mover cash to please come back tomorrow to make sure it's all done. Well, we were totally conned by them. Went to my old place today and everything except the furniture is still there. My comforters are on the ground. The kids bathroom had a box of all their toiletries just left in the bathroom. All my jackets and coats are there, all my pictures on the walk, HALF MY KITCHEN....toaster, Keurig, etc. Printer is just laying on the floor with all my other important things. We have to hire movers to move the remainder and pay another $700. Please do not ever use them or do not sign anything until you go back to the old place. I really thought I could trust them with my broken leg and cash tips to do the right thing while I went to the new place to unpack. I complained and not one discount was offered. They AGREED to remove my tip....that's it! The Manager called me today very considerate and empathetic and wants to make it right. He is planning to have everything moved out this weekend. That would be extremely helpful and I'd remove my review! I'll keep you posted! But I trust him, he does what he says! Well, Alec and Evan were so fantastic, I literally had been crying all day until they arrived with the rest of my things! Alec was soooooo nice and kept checking in with me every few minutes. I will totally recommend Meathead Movers because they kept telling me they would make it right and would not stop until they did and they meant it!! I could not be more grateful! read more

I used meathead movers in Bakersfield, CA and could not be happier. Our 2 guys were helpful, efficient and careful with my mothers things. I would highly recommend them and we definitely use them again! Not the cheapest but worth every penny!! read more

Charged me $3000 based on an unconfirmed quote. Sent a Huge truck for a two bedroom apt which was completely unexpected and unnecessary. I never signed a contract, and they sent movers and a truck based on one preliminary phone call. Refused to refund me. Do not ever use this service!!!!! read more

Truly lifesavers!!!! We had a huge move with three moving trucks and a crew of 12. We had a two-story house that was 3100 square-foot and we moved into a 3800 square-foot home. I can honestly say that this crew was incredible. if you want to have an organized and professional move, Meathead is your crew. The Fresno team with Sammy as the coordinator was the best leader in making our move as smooth and efficient as possible. They were so quick to move over 200 boxes, wrap our leather couches and dining room table so perfectly and lift our huge and heavy dressers downstairs like it was nothing. The crew was so dedicated to make sure that every piece was placed in the correct room as well as in the correct position. They worked nonstop for five hours, and were so kind to our family as we were directing which boxes or furniture goes. I can honestly say that they are well worth every penny that we paid. I was beyond impressed that I also left a tip because I wanted to acknowledge not only did they have the best customer service, but they seem to be enjoying their job. The day could've easily been a nightmare if I did not hire Meathead movers. I have heard horror stories of other people that try to go with other companies that were cheaper and they had damaged furniture and other, unfortunate things happen. I feel blessed to have had Sammy, John and the amazing crew that helped us move from one house to another. read more

Mark and his helper were quick, clean and efficient. They were on time. They had to make 3 different delivery stops and did so with only one article taken to the wrong location. This was most likely caused by our mismarking than their delivery process. Nice fast job. read more

Amazing moving experience! Not only were they on time, worked quickly, and super polite. But they went WAY above and beyond and were able to reschedule our reservation day-of after our U-Haul truck bailed on us (won't make that mistake again). They did not have to do that, but they really cared about our experience and clearly did everything they could to help our moving day run smoothly. They've definitely earned a lifelong customer! read more

Meathead Movers - Movers Near Me - Anaheim, California

BUYER BEWARE! 1.They project a 3 hour move. If you don't hound them to keep moving they will drag their feet and make sure to take at least a couple extra hours. It will most definitely not take three hours. 2. They arrived 1 hour and 45 mins late for me and also had me wait over an hour for them after completion so their coordinator could go over the paperwork with me. 3.They write your credit card info down and they have been careless enough with the credit card info that 2 days later we have fraud on the account. Oddly enough, they wrote the expiration date down wrong so had to call me back for the correct date. The fraud activity used the wrong expiration date and it got declined.... obviously they didn't keep an eye on our sensitive information. Yes, we are looking into our legal options here. read more

We were very happy with Meathead. The estimate was accurate, the staff that was quoting listened to us and then gave us honest advice and an honest assessment. There were seemingly cheaper alternatives, but 30 minutes of reading made it clear that the other options weren't giving us the service we needed. Additionally, they hadn't taken the time to go through the house and do their homework. The movers themselves were respectful, strong, clean, and literally ran when they weren't carrying anything. Most importantly, after everything was done, there were only TWO scuffs on furniture. There is NO WAY my friends would have been as precise, fast, and careful. They live up to their promises and reputation. We were thrilled with their service. If I ever have to move again, after I'm done weeping openly from dread, we'll call the Meatheads. read more

My move with Meathead went well overall. Every member of the moving crew was excellent though one was unable to even walk well, never mind jog, so you will not necessarily get athletic types on your crew. I was surprised to learn that instead of staying with my load the movers were going from Santa Barbara to a home depot in Bakersfield, staying overnight in their homes there, and then driving back to continue the move-one of the various cost savings choices made by Meathead and not as it had been outlined to me. The reason I am giving a two star review is because of what happened at the tail end of my contact with them, after I had paid and generously tipped both team members. It was then that the team lead started to request a 5 star Yelp review in return for a Starbucks coupon. I confirmed and documented this attempt to Yelp fraud and they concurred that it had taken place and that it did not conform to Yelp standards. It certainly did not conform to my standards, and it became apparent that the team lead's compensation was directly tied into gaining my cooperation. I had to decline 3 times before we could wrap the day up. Now you will have to think about the 5 star reviews you may read about Meathead and perhaps consider them differently than you may have otherwise. read more

The worst move ever!!!! These guys didn't even complete moving all of our furniture and other household items. You would think that moving a two bedroom house to another two bedroom house (only 8 miles away!!!!!) couldn't take more than a few hours with five "college athletes." Not according to this moving company.... The move took 8 hours and they didn't even complete the process (see pics). They didn't put any of our furniture back together correctly. For Christ sake, the box spring was upside down. Now my wife and I have to rent a truck and a few dudes from u-haul to finish the move and move heavy furniture upstairs. On top of all of that, they tried to charge us more once we complained about how slow the move out was going. It took these guys 4 hours to load 30 boxes and the normal items you'd find in a two bedroom house. My wife and I could have finished the move faster. DO NOT USE. THIS COMPANY IS A SKAM AND WILL BAIT AND SWITCH YOU!!!! read more

The team at Meathead Movers is absolutely amazing! From easy bookings over the phone with several options to best fit my moving needs and budget, to Miguel and Steven who showed up EARLY to help with my move out of Long Beach. I really appreciated the safety protocols they have in place due to Covid-19 and never felt unsafe during the entire move. Miguel and Steven were the most efficient movers I've ever had (and I've moved A LOT). They bring their own shrink wrap to protect furniture and carefully wrapped all of my mirrors and wall art with moving blankets to ensure they weren't damaged. Will absolutely be coming back for my next move! read more

Terrible for so many reasons, but most of all: none of them wore masks inside among a deadly pandemic while multiple immunocompromised family members had to share the space. Disgusting. To add to Colette's response: Orange County was not where the move occurred -- you should be following mask mandates for the county you're working in. read more

Amazing Crew! On time, professional, very organized. Even the agents that answer the phone are very helpful n professional. They all go above and beyond to take care of their customers. Extra care is taken when moving your belongings. read more

By far and away the WORST moving experience I have ever had, and I have moved a lot in my life. In summary, the concept makes sense - college athletes should be able to handle a move day, right? Negative. What this service lacks is the training, experience and professionalism of movers who do this for a living, and not just as a job to get them through college and on to the next gig. I shouldn't have had to coach them through moving things - there were times when I feared for the walls and floors, especially in the new place I moved to. Hire the professional movers at other companies who have been doing this for years, and at a less expensive rate for that matter. I have reached out to Customer Service several times regarding these issues, but there hasn't been a resolution, so here is my assessment thus far. I'll change my review if my issues are addressed, but if you are moving any time soon, you should know these issues today: 1. I have a slew of furniture that has to be replaced because the movers damaged it and did not handle with care. They didn't even discard it like I had asked them to - I had to ask my 10-year-old daughter to help me carry broken furniture from the 3rd floor to the ground floor dumpsters. 2. I have valuables that were damaged - frames, video footage from my pregnancy, etc - things that cannot be replaced because the movers were careless. The box was covered in broken glass. The pregnancy footage alone is priceless and now I have nothing from that time period. 3. There are boxes in my garage that were not carried to my 3rd floor apartment, clearly out of sheer laziness. I did not have those boxes marked for the garage and now I have to ask friends help me at some point. 4. I was asked to fill out a claims form for specs on the damaged items that I do not have - the furniture and valuables were given to me and I do not have that kind of information. It is completely insensitive and disrespectful. I do not understand what I paid $700 for??? I am completely unsatisfied and requested that a portion be refunded. I think it is reasonable that I am not asking for the full amount like others say I should have requested. I am scared to open the rest of my boxes and see what else might be damaged. On top of all of this, they double charged the account that I had funds in for this move, so that account was NEGATIVE $500+ dollars for 3 straight days because of this. Thank God it was only an expense account and not one of my main accounts that I use for everyday living, but still unacceptable. I had to call multiple times to have this addressed since there was no sense of urgency. CLEARLY I would not recommend this service to anyone if you value your belongings and want a successful move. It has been 11 days since my move and there is still no resolution. read more

My movers were overall pretty good. One was very friendly and chatty.. The other, not so much. They were about 15 minutes late but worked quick and had everything packed up in an hour and a half. Once at the new place they unpacked and reassembled the furniture fast. Unfortunately there was damaged to my bed frame and mattress even though they wrapped the mattress before the move. A small hole in the foot of the bed and a big chunk out of the head board leg. They called the company for me and the lady at the company offered me a small discount which I only accepted after it sounded like it would take 3 months to get the claim filed (her words)... They were ok but obviously could have been better. read more

These guys rock! From contact, to the on-line Zoom inspection of what we had in each room to the actual move my wife and I were very happy. They showed up on time with three big trucks and 9 guys to move us from a 2800 sq ft home to a 2100 sq ft home in one day. They had us all packed in the trucks in 5 hours, then unpacked at the new home within 2 and 1/2 hours. All furniture assembled and in place, nothing damaged. I have never seen movers run (literally) like these guys. The price was competitive and well worth it. I would recommend these guys to anyone! read more

My wife and I are very happy with the guys at Meathead Movers. The process of booking, getting the quote and the level of communication were all top notch. As we had questions leading up to the move, the office staff was always responsive. we needed some extra wardrobe boxes and they were there that same day. The price quote was competitive, and we booked. The team showed up with the promised trucks, number of workers, supplies on time. These young men were neatly dressed, exhibited the proper face masks and worked hard. They were quick, but not so fast that you would be concerned about your property. They were engaging and asked questions about some specific items to make sure they were packed correctly and upon arrival that they were placed correctly. Upon arrival at our location, these guys really helped out as we navigated boxes and crates to the correct rooms. They were patient when it came to us positioning some furniture and helpful in some re-arranging. Turned out the actual price, which was well explained by the foreman Alejandro, was a bit cheaper than originally quoted. I highly recommend these guys. read more
