Moving truck
Yessenia D.

It's a small owned business I believe. They definitely got the job done and were fairly priced. One bedroom apartment about 800sqft with around 20-30 medium sized boxes, a tv stand/tv, couch, dresser, desk and chair.... took two movers about three and a half hours. They moved fairly quickly in the beginning and kind of slowed down a bit toward the end with a couple of times taking breaks looking at their phones...I assumed they were tired. A couple of things to note are that the moving truck did not have their logo and their staff was not wearing a uniform so we almost thought they were a scam but they ended up being the real deal. They also did not give us any update nor were particularly friendly. They sort of just moved things and got in their truck and drove off without letting us know. We quickly got in our cars and went to the next location to open the door for them. The unloading was the fastest part and as I said before got the job done. Straightforward no hidden fees!

Big clean truck with lift gate

Super great attitude and friendly. Careful with the items I requested. Helped me organize and stack the storage space, too! No rush, no fuss.

Foam sheet wrapped - they even let me take the time to put my bed skirt on between the mattresses.

This is my second time using Melrose Moving LA and I can't rave about them enough! They came well within their time frame and had great communication from the start. They showed up, in masks, and did a thorough walk through before starting the move. They wrapped everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, to make sure all of my belongings were taken care of to the best of their ability. All 3 men were extremely professional, courteous, and friendly. They even helped me move additional belongings from my car that I had pre packed. I seriously cannot compliment this company enough. I refer them to all of my friends as well!

I found them on Yelp and hired them to help to move. They came on time and they were very efficient. They were very careful with our furnitures and they did a great job! They were very polite and friendly too. They did a very job moving. This is my second time doing my moving with them. They are great!

Gio D.

The guys were great, fast, organized, friendly, help us unpack , always ask if we need anything, neat, and professional. Excellent experience. Vladimir is great and know his job very well.

Rudy and his team were moving out our office in woodland hills. Surprisingly they were gas and efficient! Usually you do not expect much from movers to be polite and thoughtful, but these guys are! Thumbs up!

You deal with the psychological issues of relocating, Melrose Moving will get your stuff there without issue!

Smooth move. Is there really such a thing? Not exactly, as you have to deal with your flotsam and jetsam, unless you're SO attached that you MUST bring it with you. Me? Not a stitch of it and that's what took me so long to make my move, the weeding out, the gifting of friends, the donating, the shredding... Ready to contract a professional mover, I checked Yelp to find my dear friend Laura D. https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=VhKOvBIOEyEB8Ig3f7adcQ gave Melrose Moving five stars. She's as picky as I am and that was good enough for me. Book your move pared down like mine, or ALL your stuff online or call to schedule an appointment. Old fashioned I called albeit after hours BUT Melrose Moving returned my call the following day within the time I specified in voicemail. Booked for the following week, here's how my move broke down plus terms and conditions: RATE PER HOUR: $90 cash/ $100 credit card ADDITIONAL FEES: 50 flat rate for truck, $4 per mile between your locations - Mileage Waived NUMBER OF MOVERS: 2 MINIMUM HOURS: 3 SUPPLIES: We provide moving blankets, dollies, carts and tools free of charge, and we will disassemble and reassemble your furniture. Furniture needs to be properly wrapped to prevent damage. Our movers can wrap the furniture for you during the move. We offer boxes, tape, bubble wrap, shrink wrap, etc. for sale during the move for your convenience. GRATUITIES: Tips are NOT included in the price and are highly appreciated by our movers! INSURANCE: We carry the California standard basic moving insurance. Basic moving insurance covers $.60 per pound up to $300 per article on any freight damages. If you would like additional insurance, it can be bought by calling an insurance company of your choice. OVERTIME: Please make sure you have enough movers for the size of your job. Overtime (time and a half) rates will be applied in excess of eight hours. CANCELLATION: Please communicate with us about any changes to your move. Should you cancel within 24 hours, you will be charged for three hours. PARKING: Make sure that the truck(s) will have adequate space to park next to your building(s). Some cities, like West Hollywood, do require special permits for reserving a space for a moving truck; please check with your city hall prior to your move. You will be responsible for the parking and any parking tickets and processing fees. Melrose Moving called to confirm my 8:00AM - 10:00 AM arrival window the day before and my moving team Denis and Sergey called a tad after 8:00AM to let me know they'd be at my home by 9:10AM, they were. After assessing the workload, completing paperwork, start time was set at 9:30 AM and this duo hustled to load the boxes I'd pre-packed and labeled, although they would have done this for me. If I'd had furniture to dis- then re-assemble they'd have done that too. By noon (we happily paid the three hour minimum in cash and added a generous cash tip) my stuff, well most of it had been delivered to my new home. Uh oh, the bolster and other pillows weren't there. Quick call to Melrose Moving and shortly thereafter, Denis called to apologize and say he was back at my new address with the omitted items. I am thoroughly impressed with Melrose Moving's work ethic and professionalism. Trust me you will be too!

A fraction of the stuff Cozzy and crew moved.

We worked with Cozzy to move back into our house after a lengthy, painful renovation. My wife and I were still frantically finishing putting stuff into boxes when they rolled up. They worked with us and around us. They had to trek through a labrynthian apartment complex to get from their truck to our apartment, and then back again. They showed great care in not hitting the walls. At the other end, they were careful around the newly painted walls, and took great pains not to damage anything. They were quick and very efficient. I'd be happy to work with them again. Cozzy was great and so was his crew.

Denis was the best! I always use melrose movers and the guys are always quick, careful, and work really hard. Would always recommend!

Ekaterina R.

Hi Yelpers! Great moving company. Rudy and the team did a fantastic job for us. They work very careful and precise. We found them through yelp and could not be happier. They were on time, didn't break anything and exceeded our expectations. They even thought to bring extra clothing boxes. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

Mazyar A.

Rudy and the gang were fantastic at moving us to our new home! They were very inviting and made transferring everything over to the new place an absolute breeze. Also made us all the more excited about the new change. They moved us from one city to another and were extremely friendly about it. They also helped our neighbors and made us look nice and friendly to our new neighborhood. Highly recommend them if you happen to need some moving done. Great people.

See all

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

Highly recommend and would use them again in the future!…read more I called 10 days before my move and they were able to come on the exact date and time I wanted. Oscar and Nick texted me when they were 30 minutes away, showed up on time, were friendly, worked quick, and were careful with my belongings. I moved out of a 4th floor apartment into a 2nd floor walk up. They were also able to disassemble my wood bedframe and put it back together for me in my new place and also lifted my heavy dresser up the stairs. They also asked where I wanted things put in my new place. Straightforward pricing--worked exactly as they said it would on the phone. Thank you and I recommend using them!!

Third time was NOT a charm. I first used this company January 2020. They were phenomenal back then…read more Fast forward to March 2026 qand they were still great. Until the 3rd move June 2026. I had to move due to issues with repairs never being done and mold because my landlord is a slumlord. (Do NOT rent from C&S Apartments!) Anyway, the movers the 2nd time around were nice, professional and as quick as could be considering they were helping me pack up to move my belongings into a storage unit. They didn't waste time and were kind. BUT they failed to wrap my solid cherry wood bed set in moving blankets which resulted in all my furniture being scratched up and damaged in the 3rd move, where once again they did NOT wrap my items when moving them out of storage, into the van and then into my new apartment. On the 3rd move the Forman was upset that there were 2 flights of stairs to move the dresser up, despite me saying so in the questionnaire when booking. The Forman said to me that they'd have to charge extra for the stairs. Which I said NO to because that should have been done in the estimate. He kept saying the dresser was heavy... well, your company loved it twice already and no one else whined about it. He then told me, " if you give us a bigger tip, we won't have to charge for it." I let him know that they moved the same dresser up the stairs to the last apartment and didn't charge extra. He also dragged out ending the moving time because he wanted more hours. I literally had to bring boxes in to try to counteract his stalling tactic. Unfortunately, it didnt help because he then hid in the truck while the other 2 guys were putting together my bed. My couch cushion was damaged and they broke a dresser drawer. I was told they'd come and fix it, but 3 months later they never did. I had to go buy the wood glue and do it myself. The company doesn't have full insurance, so don't bother if something major) like my solid wood night stand) gets damaged. You will not be compensated for it. I did get some money for the leather couch cover, but not enough to purchase a new one. Find a company that has full insurance and will own up to their mistakes, if made. There are so many scratches and chips on my bed set. Not to mention missing feet caps that were not missing before the 2nd move. This 3rd move left me with damaged furniture and no accountability for fixing it when they said they would. Instead I was told, "it's the end of the month and we have a lot of moves. Your repair is not a priority." So much for being a loyal customer who had used them 3 times. FIND A BETTER COMPANY! THIS ONE IS NO LONGER GOOD!
