I would recommend Frank with United Van Lines & Ted with Merit Moving System to anyone!! My fiancé and I had a cross country move (Los Angeles to Oklahoma) scheduled for the end of March 2020, and had never used movers before. Frank came out to our apartment for a very thorough in-home estimate. The quote was higher than what we expected to pay for a move, but we decided to go with United anyway because we trusted their expertise over the little guys who were competing for our business. I don't regret this at all! Frank was amazing at quick & clear communication with us, even after-hours & on weekends (and we had TONS of questions about how to pack & what to leave behind to get our costs down). With the COV19 pandemic looming, we called Frank and he expedited our move, at no additional cost, to get us out of LA over 2 weeks earlier than scheduled. The Merit Moving Systems crew (Ted) was amazing - they were on time, professional, and SO fast. All of our belongings arrived in Oklahoma 5 business days later, as quoted, and nothing was damaged! It was so relieving to have such a smooth move with professional, friendly assistance. I was also very concerned that our final charges would be more than we had been estimated, but they were not! We will definitely use their services on any other moves in the future. read more

Merit Moving Systems handled my move from CA to NJ. From the first contact I had with them I started feeling good about them as my possible mover. My confidence in them and in having a successful move experience only grew from there with each interaction. The cost estimating process was transparent and the cost was in line with what I expected based on my research and included fair insurance coverage. Every person I talked with and met was great, polite and a pleasure to work with - the person doing the estimating, the move coordinator, the packers, the cross country driver who led the loading/delivery moving teams and the LA and NJ movers. Everyone that prepared and handled my belongings did so with respect and care. The teams were amazing to watch in action and I felt so good about what they were doing to protect everything. This move was a huge step for me and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. It was such a relief how Merit handled the process throughout. read more

This company is FANTASTIC! Arrived to pick up everything the day they said they would. Came with 5 guys who blanket wrapped everything and loaded the truck while I simply watched. The price was exactly what they quoted with no hidden fees. Everything arrived 2,000 miles away in tack not one thing broke. The people who unloaded couldn't have been any nicer, they went far and above the line of duty in my opinion. I HIGHLY recommend this company! moving is stressful enough let this company get you through it! Rick Sekely read more

You must read this! We were in route to our new city as state. We had been emailing and texting their representative for a while. We had gave him dimensions of two storage units one semi full and the other not so full. We even sent him pictures. He asked what we had I there I told him everything from a one bed room apartment. So he mentioned somethings and I said a few more that were supposed to be written for insurance purposes. When they sent me the form for me to sign like I said I was in route to my new place. They worded things so it seemed that it was for everything as we verbally told the rep. He quoted us $2144. He said that by law he had to collect 10% down even tho he was asking for more than half down. I wanted to pay it all since he was asking for half, he said he could not. He told me somethings that I forgot and when we tried to reach him he would not reply even sent a text that there was no such person and that it was a wrong number. I should have known by then I was ripped off! It's all how they word it that had me thinking it was for all my belongings not just the few key things we talked about. I knew I should had gone with Mission Transport, they were more honest and their price was $4,100 something with only $100 as a deposit. I thought I was getting the deal instead I lost a little over a thousand dollars. I will never recommend this company and will be posting this on my FB so all my friends know about this as well. read more

Merit Moving Systems - Movers Near Me - Corona, California

Relocated from the west coast to the east coast on a fairly short notice, with Merit handling our household goods shipping and also coordinating our cars shipping. Working with Shellie was terrific - she was very accommodating and responsive to our questions / requests, and coordinated everything in a way that will work with our tight schedule. Highly recommended. read more

Merit Moving Systems were absolutley amazing! They were on time, courteous, cared about our items, organized, and friendly. We moved from California to Florida and we were so pleased with our driver Mario and his crew. Their attention to detail was impressive. When the boxes are unloaded, everything is accounted for.

We recently relocated from Elko, NV to Las Vegas Nevada. Shellie Peavey with MMS was very helpful, attentive, and in constant communication answering any question we had during our move. The relocatiom went smooth and since we already had a place in Vegas the move happened within a couple days the same week. Movers were very professional and I was very pleased with the entire process. Highly recommend and thank you for making our move that much easier! read more

We used them for a ~100 mile move for both packing and loading/unloading. They did a virtual walkthrough which I appreciated, because I've had previous moving companies underestimate the truck space and labor required for us. Everything went as we discussed when planning. Everyone was polite and professional. No complaints. read more

I am very happy with my services and the personnel associated with Merit. They guided us every step of the way during a difficult time. Special notation for Brandi, Derek and Sam our driver who kept us focused and relaxed during this crazy time. I highly recommend them for your moving needs. Rick Wooldridge read more

Corona Moving, Merit Moving Systems, Mayflower Moving, Louisville Moving Company, and Armstrong Relocation & Company all participated in my recent cross-country move from Los Angeles, CA to Cleveland, OH and all segments were 5-star earners. The entire team was efficient, accurate, on-time, customer-friendly, and communicated well throughout the entire process. What minor issues that can arise in any move, were each dealt with swiftly and satisfactorily. Specifically, delivery driver owner/operator Ed Flakes and his assistant went above-and-beyond (nearly 4 hours worth) to make sure that I was fully satisfied and the job was completed entirely, when I had issues with the storage unit I had rented. Highly recommended. Would hire again if I ever move cross-country or locally again. read more

After living in the same small beach home in Corona del Mar we had to relocate to South Carolina. There was a ton of stuff after that long in one home, but Merit did it all in two days (minus transit & move in). If I had to do it again (and I won't) I would do it with Merit Moving. Great company and almost no damages across the US . Gregg Alfredson read more

I've worked with Merit Moving Systems four times since 2010, moving all over Southern California. Each time, the movers have been careful, courteous, and extremely professional in their services. I highly recommend using their services above many if not all others. read more

Merit Moving Systems - Fourth and (hopefully) final move. Best moving team ever. - Movers Near Me - Corona, California

Helped me every step of the way from in person inventory to working within my budget and timing to the loading and unloading. Nothing was missing or broken and the service was professional and courteous every step of the way. They allow 9 months to place a claim for anything broken or missing! Highly recommend this company for any long distance move. Mary H. Los Angeles, CA read more

I used Merit to move from NJ to CA and they did a fantastic job packing everything, no items were lost or broken unlike the company I used for my previous move. Shellie was very helpful and responsive which took a lot of the stress of a cross-country move out of the equation. The movers were super efficient and respectful, they placed the furniture where it belongs and laid down mats to avoid tracking dirt into the apartment. I just recommended Merit to a friend who is about to move out of state read more

Highly recommend this company for all moving services! They were very responsive and prompt throughout the process. They made the entire process feel seamless and were flexible with any requests. read more

Relocated from East coast to West coast. Estimate (online video chatting), packing, moving and delivering was on time and smooth. The United Van Line's packers and movers came to our house on time each day and they were professional. It was a pleasant experience. The driver gave us updates on the expected arrival time and it was accurate. Thank you! read more

Do not use this company! We used them for a cross country move. We were moving our items from a home into a storage unit for 3 months. First of all they misjudged the amount of items we had and brought a truck that was already 1/4 full, so they had to spend extra time tetrising our items to the top of the truck just to make it fit. When we took our items our of storage we realized that the movers step on my boxes( i have pictures of boot marks on my smashed boxes), stack furniture up against each other without padding, lay a piano face down on a damp surface, not paper pack items according to the contract, and knowingly damage my furniture. I paid for paper packing in the storage unit so i would know it would be covered and safe in the unit for serveral months. They did not do this with at least 60 percent of our furniture. There were glass cabinets without padding rubbing up against other shelves. All of my dining room chairs were stacked haphazardly on top of each other with nothing covering them. My piano was layed keys side down with only a furni pad around it and about 4 layers of furniture stacked on top of it. There were holes in my boxes and scratches on pretty much everything i own- beds, chairs , cabinets, etc. My newborn had two new pieces of furniture like 3-4 months old from pottery barn that were a gift. They were white, shelves and a rotating standing shelf. The rotating shelf was cracked and had no padding on it. The wall shelves were thrown on top of my dining room chair legs and had no padding. Both are now yellowed from having no paper padding to cover them from moisture. I filled out all the proper insurance paperwork, and after 30 days they are offering to send out a furniture repair person. When asked about other compensation, such as the paper padding I paid for that wasn't used, and the negligence of the movers they are saying they are not liable as of the date it was left in the storage unit because we signed for its arrival. Even though I confirmed with our rep that our insurance would apply until another company or person touched the furniture and i sent them dozens of photos of the damage before anyone else touched it in the storage unit. It is very sad and nothing someone should have to deal with when moving across country (especially with 2 small children) is one of the harder things I've ever done. They were also under the name Mayflower, so I'm not sure which name to watch out for. Just be careful. read more

Had a job-related cross country relocation from Silicon Valley to Florida on a very short time frame. Merit were assigned to us with the corporate relocation package and delivered a smooth and professional experience. They handled everything end-to-end - including packaging, loading/unloading, and cars shipping. Communications were prompt and responsive throughout the process. read more

This review is overdue but moving halfway across the country keeps you tied up for a while. I started researching moving companies online in early 2021 for a planned move from L.A. to The Ozarks. What an eye opener. After reading hundreds of horror stories, I concluded that the moving industry is rotten to the core. It is corrupt and much of it is actually organized criminal enterprise. I learned everything customers did wrong and how they suffered for it. When choosing a business to hire, I always search out and study reviews, independent ones, not from the company's own websites. I came across Merit Moving Systems and they had an exceptionally good reputation in their customer reviews. I called them and set up a video walk-through, then accepted their bid. I did all my own packing (153 boxes). My move got postponed through no fault of my own, but it was no problem for them. Fast forward months, to move day, December 29th. The crew/truck were right on time. The four guys did a fantastic job and were in and out in a couple hours. I did make it easier for them as I had stacked and labeled all my boxes in the garage. At our new place in Missouri, they missed the delivery window by four days but once somebody explained the situation to me over the phone, it was all good. The crew showed up for the delivery right when they said they would. They did an awesome job, even though it was snowing the whole time. Later we got a refund for both the late date and the weight over-estimation. We cannot overstate what an excellent job everybody at Merit Moving Systems did for us. All our stuff: 153 cartons plus furniture, showed up safe and sound. We would definitely recommend them and would hire again. read more

See all

Merit made my work relocations a breeze! Shellie is the best. They handled everything flawlessly.

We used Merit Moving/United for our move from Torrance, CA to Battle Ground, WA. They were amazing! Our Move Coordinator, Frank Buckley, kept everything moving along & kept us informed every step of the way. Everyone we dealt with showed up on time. The loading crew was top notch & so professional. They had our home completely packed up in 3 1/2 hours. The unloading crew was just as amazing &they were done in about 4 hours. The crews treated our belongings with respect & not one thing was broken or damaged in any way. I can recommend Merit with no hesitation whatsoever! read more

We were pleased to work with Shellie during our cross country move. Our situation was ever changing. She was patient with us and she did was she could to make our move as stress-free as possible. We couldn't have asked for better service than what we received. read more

From the first phone call about availability to move my family across the country to the final delivery sign off Merit Moving systems was helpful, knowledgeable and communicative. The crews that they work with were wonderful, on time and amazing at their jobs. Moving is an incredible expense but I feel sincerely that we got top notch service. read more

Great service. We are downsizing from a small commercial office, to a VERY small commercial office across town. Kyle answered questions by phone right up front, gave us an approximate but realistic estimate by phone, and took an order when we were ready. Due to some very finicky rules with the new landlord, our mover would be required to provide VERY specific insurance info. Kyle took care of that with ease. The "muscle" team, led by Jesse, arrived on the correct date, about 5 minutes early. Jesse took about 5 minutes to walk through the office, making note of which pieces would go, then went down to get his men. He brought up two more men and some furniture dollies. They were in and out in about 10 or 15 minutes. At the destination, they had everything in place without incident, and billed us for FEWER hours than the estimate. What more could I ask for! read more

They were quick and responsive.They were always been contact with me and everything was taken care of smoothly and seamlessly. We had small hiccup but I was impress with their effort to resolve it quickly and effortlessly. I would definitely use them again if I have too. read more

I would highly recommend moving with Merit! They are very reliable, responsive and make the process seamless and less stressful for you! I would recommend to anyone looking to move! read more

I recently moved from Los Angeles, CA to Portland, OR with United Van Lines (Merit Moving Systems). My overall moving experience was great. Everyone involved in the process (Frank, Brandy, Carlos and his team, and Stephen and his team) were caring, thoughtful, and hard-working. Packing and loading a 2-bedroom apartment took less than 5 hours, while unloading took less than 2 hours. Everyone came on time as promised. The movers packed everything very carefully, and almost everything was delivered intact. And most importantly, my stuff was delivered well within the provided delivery spread. If I were to move back to Los Angeles, I would definitely work with Merit Moving Systems again. I would recommend this moving company. read more

From San Diego to Sacramento and it could not have been easier! From the estimate to delivery it was truly a pleasure working with Merit Moving Systems. Special shout out to Fernando and his teams in both cities for their patience and professionalism. read more

Merit Moving Systems did a phenomenal job with our move! They did not waste anytime and got all our furniture and belongings moved from one 2100 sq ft home to another 2100 sq ft home within a few hours. Very pleased with their work. read more

I got a new job and the company hired Merit to help me with moving across the country (CT to CA). The movers were very kind and professional when they packed up my stuff and when they moved it all into my new place. There was a bit of miscommunication on time but it wasn't a big deal and it's understandable considering the logistics of a big move. When I received my stuff, one of the handles on my dresser was damaged in the move. I wasn't going to make it a big deal, but one of the movers helped me fix it, and now you can barely tell. I really appreciate their efforts to do the best job that they could. read more

I had to move from California to Florida in November of 2013. This was a big move for me. I have a bad back so I had to be careful with lifting and such, so I was looking for a full service company. After getting quotes from multiple movers, I decided on Merit, who is a subcontractor for United. I worked with John Horist for the entire move. He was a pleasure to deal with and one of the most professional people I've ever worked with. He came by my place, made a complete inventory and gave me a quote for everything on the spot. My move included packing up everything, putting it on the truck, moving it across country, unpacking all my items and, using another company, putting everything back. All of this was handled through John, making it very simple for me. I asked for an additional service of putting the books and videos back on the shelves in roughly the order they were in the old apartment. John agreed and included that for only a small extra cost. Finally, I added a service to dissemble/reassemble my computers and TVs for a small extra fee. The price was better than most of the other quotes that I received. I was nervous on the day of the move, of course, but the packers came and were extremely professional. I have some very fragile items (glass figurines) and they were very careful to pack them so they would not be damaged. It took them most of the day but I was calmed by their professionalism and willingness to explain what they were doing every step of the way. The next day the moving van arrived exactly on time. I mean exactly, to within a minute. I was impressed. The movers got to work immediately and by mid day all of my stuff was on their truck. I signed the final documents and my part was done until I arrived in Florida. I could have purchased an additional service of moving my car for me, but I decided since I'd never driven across the United States I'd just drive it there myself. A friend came along (she flew home after) and it made for a very pleasant several day trip. I was surprised when the movers called me 3 days early saying they would be at my new place the next morning. I was already in Florida so that worked out great. They arrived to within five minutes of the time they said they would be there. The next two days were predictably hectic. The first day movers brought boxes and boxes of stuff up to my place. By late afternoon they were done and everything was in the new apartment. The next day they came back and unpacked, again arriving right on time. There were three crews for this: the person who reassembled my TVs and computers, the ladies from a service who put everything away, and the movers who unpacked it all. They worked together as a solid team and by the early evening my apartment looked great. The furniture was all exactly where Ii wanted it, the books and videos were on the shelves in more-or-less the correct order, all my stuff was neatly put away, the packing materials were all removed, the place was swept up and it all looked gorgeous. Best of all, there was no stress and no strain to my back. After the move I found a couple of minor things that were damaged (a couple of hundred dollars in value) and with one quick phone call and a form, I received a check so I could get them repaired. The move went perfect. The packing/unpacking went perfect. The communication was perfect. And even the minor damage was minimal and handled very professionally. I am happy and would certainly use them again in the future, and recommend them without hesitation. read more

This is our second move with John Horist and Merit. We used them 3 years ago and they were so great that we immediately thought of them again for this move. John's crew also moved my mom at the same time because she was relocating to stay near us. As before, John was thorough during both walkthrus and took good notes so items in our rental house were left behind and there was no confusion. His quote was accurate and fair and he delivered on all of the times and dates he promised. We even moved up the date by a week and he was able to do that. It took 6 guys 2 days straight to pack, load, and move us. All the guys were so nice. Not a scratch or dent on anything. All the boxes were labeled well and put in the correct rooms at the new place. My mom, who was nervous because she'd never used movers before, had the same experience were her guys. She went from trying to put all her "fragile" things into her car that morning, to inviting them for coffee at the end of the day. We give our highest recommendation to John and Merit Moving Systems. read more

We made a move from Michigan to Virginia and couldn't have asked for better. Everything was extremely smooth despite the challenges of the current situation due to the pandemic. Our pack and load was quick and easy, and the delivery and partial unpack (up four flights of stairs) of our things was on time. Nothing was missing or damaged and frequent clear communication was kept throughout our move by our coordinator. read more

We had a very positive experience with Merit Moving Systems/United Van lines for our cross country move from CA to NJ. This was especially highlighted after an exceptionally horrific experience with International Van Lines one year prior (do NOT use them!). Initial communication was easy, and after a detailed virtual walk through of our home in CA they were able to provide us an accurate cost estimate and clearly laid out details/expectations regarding the moving process (delivery time period, how items would be transported, etc). Pick up went smoothly without hiccups (we had admittedly pre-packed all items due to our prior poor experience with another group, so cannot comment on their full service option). Items were transported over approximately a 3 week time period and delivered on our expected day during the expected time window. We received updates prior to delivery to confirm dates/times. Unloading was efficient and organized, with all items accounted for. Thus far in our unpacking we have not found any broken or damaged items. The cost was a bit more than other companies, but given that there were zero issues, we felt it was worth it. We would absolutely use them again for another move. read more

We've used Merit Moving Systems with our past 2 office moves. The company dropped off packing materials well in advance giving staff enough time to pack their items. The moving crew arrived on time as promised to properly prepare our items keeping anything from being damaged during the move. Lastly the final price they charged us came in well under the initial quote. All in all, it was a win win situation with Merit Moving Systems. read more

Merit (through Mayflower) smoothly, professionally and personally executed a complex move from West Hollywood to Texas that involved fragile antiques, fine art, and sensitive research in addition to sentimental treasures. I interviewed multiple moving companies before choosing Merit due to a nightmare experience in an earlier move. Merit was a dream. They were first-rate at every stage. Frank Buckley, my moving coordinator, was patient, compassionate, honest, and has years of experience. I had complete confidence in him and it was justified. Everything played out exactly as he told me it would (and I had endless questions and concerns he responded to immediately and fully). My final bill was actually lower than his estimate and Merit sent me a refund within a few days! I had the double blessing of being assigned their ace driver, Frank #2 as I called him. He phoned me before the move to introduce himself, gave me his cell number, and treated my move and me as if I were a member of his family. He is extraordinary. A big thanks to his cousin, who loaded the truck on the LA side. Their warmth, kindness, courtesy and professionalism made this stressful experience memorable in a good way. Everyone with whom I dealt at Merit was lovely to me. Their rates are competitive and their service is incomparable. If I need moving services, there is no one else I would call. I love Merit and the two Franks:) read more

Reliable, trustworthy, and professional truly describes this company. Our family has used Merit Moving Systems for years including a long haul move to Chicago. Our most recent experience was a move from a single story whole house to a second story condo. Four guys accomplished this task in 10 hours with nothing broken or scratched. The men worked non-stop with only a couple of short breaks. Our rep John Horist and his assistant Sandy were on top of it making sure we were happy. Friends don't waste your time with other moving companies. read more

Moving is a pain. What a relief it is to have Merit assisting you! The whole process was awesome. John did the estimate and was my answer guy. I had a ton of questions and he was quick to respond and so nice. The packers were great. Got everything packed up very quickly and nothing broke. The teams loading the truck in CA and unloading in WA were phenomenal. We are at the end of a gravel road now and it requires some finessing because there was no way a moving truck would make that last mile. No problem. John made the adjustment in the system, Bob made the adjustment here and there were no problems, only solutions. I've moved quite a bit over the years: across the world, across the country and across town. Best move ever! Highly recommend Merit Moving Systems. The rates were very fair, the people a pleasure to work with, and the customer service was amazing. So glad we made the Merit choice! read more
