Great experience with Move Square. Second time I had them move a 3 bedroom house furniture. They are very respectful, on time, and communicative. They took care of the important thing which is not damaging any items, walls, wood, thersholds, etc... I actullay had to reshedule my move and Arsalan was understanding and did not charge anything extra for that. On top of that, their price is the best that I could find in town. I highly recommend! read more

I used their service to move a house and they were so professional and fast. Highly recommended! read more

Move Square - Movers Near Me - San Diego, California

Amazing Service, super friendly courteous! I appreciate wonderful experience with Alan and Johanas!

I recently moved a 2-bedroom apartment with Move Square. The movers arrived on time, were very professional, punctual, and quick. They made sure they did everything I asked for. They were also the most affordable company among all the ones that provided me a quote. Extremely great value for money. I am very satisfied and would definitely work with them again and recommend them to other movers. read more

Had a good experience with Move Square. This is the second time I've used them to move my 700sqft 1 bedroom apartment. Yohannes and Alan showed up right on time, were super efficient, and somehow managed to fit all my stuff perfectly into a tight storage unit. They worked quickly, handled everything with care, and finished the job in just 4 hours. Pricing was reasonable. Both were really nice to work with and made the whole process easy and stress-free! read more

From start to finish, the experience was a complete disappointment. It took the driver 20 minutes to just park the truck. They decided to take a bedframe apart without having the right tools. I had to loan them tools. It was raining during the delivery and their dolly went off the sidewalk into the mud. The just continued and went straight into the house, leaving muddy tire tracks. They didn't take their trash. Just stay away! read more

Terrible service. I made the mistake of paying a $60 deposit. No need for that. 24/7 movers will match their price and change the date as needed. They agreed to drill in a cabinet for me upon quoting then changed their mind and kept the deposit. Pressured me into using another person, when I said no they said " find someone else!" Watch your step here. read more

Even though the movers were a little bit late, once arrived they have reviewed all the inventory quickly to decide best loading action. The guys were super respectful and very cautious about all my furniture, everything survived the move perfectly. They did not waste time on the clock, they were in and out for a really fair price. Will use them again anytime I move. read more

Maybe the Move Square people that moved us were imposters b/c our experience could not be more opposite than those with positive reviews. To start with, we did not get one of those new yellow trucks with "MoveSquare" logo. Movers showed up in an old white truck with no identifying signage. No logo'd shirts. Pre-move, I pointed out an antique dresser and stressed it needed to be handled with great care. Regardless of warning, they tore the wooden support that holds the rightwing mirror and left it shrink wrapped because otherwise, the mirror would have likely fallen off. They did not wrap the dresser in blankets. In fact, I did not see them using any blankets. Put co. on notice of damage. Movers didn't realize IKEA cubby was bolted to the wall. They forcibly removed it tearing two holes in the drywall; one of which was 9" wide. They left the drywall pieces and bolts dangling from the back of the cubby. Landlord deducted $75 from our security deposit. Provided co. with receipt and request for reimbursement two times. Both requests for such a nominal amount were ignored until I posted this review. Then my requests were declined. Accidently, I paid a portion of their $1000+ fee (local move for contents of 2 bedrooms) on Venmo twice. Noticed error and contacted co. with request for reimbursement. Request declined. Requested again. Request declined again. Stopped payment at bank. Venmo paid it and pursued Move-Square for reimbursement which they got. BTW, they do not have a claim form which is customary for moving companies. No doubt that is because they never pay out on a claim...not even one for less than $100. There isn't a single good reason to hire this company. Don't do it. read more

We recently utilized Move Square's services locally here in Carlsbad. The move went very well and we were impressed with their team efforts. The three employees showed up on time and worked diligently in some very difficult hot weather. The prices they charged for the services were fair and we would certainly recommend this company for your consideration. read more

This review is very delayed, but I saw that I had started this in my yelp drafts, so I figured I'd finish. Not gonna lie, I was really worried about being able to find movers for my parents' move. Not only did they have a large home full (really, really full) of furniture and other items/decor they've accumulated over the years, they also were on a quick timeline and needed someone right away. I did the typical yelp search for quotes from movers. From the beginning, Move Square was really speedy and helpful with their responses. I never waited more than an hour for a response and as little as 10 minutes for one! On moving day, the crew made sure to keep us updated when they were on their way, etc. I really appreciated these notifications, thank you! We hired two trucks and a six men crew and each person was absolutely amazing! Kevin, Will, Jovanni, Alejan, Victor are a few of the members I remember, but all were so positive and super hardworking :) They were very diligent and worked until the job got done, which - due to the amount of stuff we had - was kind of late. We appreciated their hard work and willingness to go the extra mile. Thank you so much! read more

Wow! Anthony and Morrie rocked it non-stop ! Great attitude, smart, strong, and awesome energy. Highly recommed them two. Thank you! read more

Move Square - Move fully complete :) - Movers Near Me - San Diego, California

Good prices but you get what you pay for in speed and communication. I was worried about the arrival window bleeding into night time and overemphasized that there were 3 flights of stairs in the new unit. Would 2 men at 3pm be enough to get the job done? I was reassured yes yes we do this all the time. No there is no issue of darkness, yes 2 men is enough to move 1 bedroom apartment. A few minutes before the END of the arrival window the owner calls and asks if they can reschedule to another day. I said unfortunately no, my utilities are being moved and it's far too late to cancel. They reluctantly say ok they will come. Weird and terribly unprofessional, I was freaking out They loaded the truck really quickly (promising!), but when we got to the destination acted like they didn't know there were stairs. They were visibly concerned and with it already being dark and having stairs. I took on a third of the work running up stairs dozens of times sweating profusely. Why did the owner reassure me if he didn't even communicate with them? All in all the move out took 1 hour and the move into the new apartment took 3 hours. I've never sweat so much in my life. Had I not been able-bodied to take a third of the work on it would have probably taken 6+ hours instead of 4. Keep in mind this is a one bedroom apartment, but due to all boxes needing to be carried one by one probably required MORE MEN!! At one point I asked the guys if they had ever done this before, they seemed so unprepared. Not saying they are a bad company, the movers worked their butts off. But professionalism, communication and proper assessment of men/hours for the job was perplexing to me. Moving is stressful enough next time I'll pay more for a full team of movers (not counting me!!) read more

50% more than quoted, Broken 65' TV, Police Called, drivers almost took off with my stuff. Yea, that bad. Read on. This is the second time I have used to Move Square. Last time wasn't a great experience either and I should have learned my lesson, but my hope was I just got a bad crew last time. I am trying to support small businesses in this time of need and wanted to use a company with decent reviews that were local and I paid for it dearly, it got really bad. I was moving approximately 2 1/2 miles to our new home my pregnant wife and I purchased (we also have a 2.5-year-old). I filled out the questionnaire, spoke to Allen from move Square, explained the size of the home and rooms and he quoted me about $650 for the job weeks before. On moving day, the truck arrives, and I meet Hugo (The foremen). As I experienced last time, there was a language barrier, but we got passed that initially. The move seemed to be going ok for about an hour, then Hugo comes to me and says we should add a 4th guy, it would be more cost-effective, and it begins. An hour later, 4th guy shows up. I am directing them telling them what items are delicate. These guys like to wrap everything, they say it is to keep everything safe, but I watched them burn 2 hours wrapping ridiculous things in plastic-like garden equipment. Seeing this scamish move go down last time, I pre-wrapped the stuff that matters but that didn't seem to speed up the process, in fact, they ended up breaking stuff anyway. Next, about 3 hours in. Hugo tells me the truck is not big enough, and they will need to make 2 trips because if he tries to pack the truck to tight, things may break while driving. I begrudgingly accepted and called the manager Allen and expressed my discontent with the fact that I was paying attention to the time, and now with the additional trip, it's looking like it is going to be more than double what I was quoted. Allen said that "I had a lot of stuff" and they are doing the best they can. I told him the top of my budget for the move was $1,000 ($450 more than I was quoted) and he needed to figure out how to make it work for that price. Once we finished the two trips, the movers started unloading and the new place and destroyed my carpet, I left booties out becuase the carpet was cleaned a 2 days earlier, they walked right past them, finally, I had to lay down towels and moving blankets to try and stop the damage. Shortly after that, I noticed the TV leaning again a dresser, shocked I put it again the wall, unwrapped it and as suspected, completely broken! I quickly got Hugo to see it, he looked, asked to call his boss, he did, and then told me that they would not be responsible for it. So I get on the phone with Allen, (The Boss) and he proceeds to tell me that because they did not wrap it that they are not responsible. I was like "are you kidding me" after some a heated conversation, he threatened to have the movers stop moving, close the truck and leave. I told him if he did that, I am calling the police as it would be theft at that point. The movers proceeded to stop moving, closed the truck, and I called the Oceanside Police Dept. Police came 15 minutes later and explained to the movers that if they left with my property they would be committing a crime, and they would need to unload the rest of my property before we left. So they quickly moved it in the garage in a pile, not in the rooms where I needed it leaving me by myself to carry furniture up the stairs and into the specified rooms. Obviously, this cannot be done with the help of my wife because she is pregnant and now I will have to recruit a friend or two in the middle of the pandemic to finish the move. So frustrating. At this point, Allen kept calling me to try and resolve, slapped me with a $1,200 invoice, and said if I sign and pay the money we could resolve the TV situation later. I was like "nope, we will go ahead and take care of that now or I am not paying you anything and I'll see you in court buddy." I offered for him to claim it on his insurance, he changed the subject. Then the moving foremen Hugo said I only paid for the "basic insurance" and would only cover $.60 per lb - I never had a choice to choose a basic or full coverage premium. Long story short, I told Allen, that I would give him $600 to just leave and not one red cent more. He tried to get $700 out of me and I explained that I would rather go to court over the civil dispute as I suspect they didn't have insurance and or shady labor practices. He accepted the $600 and I signed the final contract document all of this (I wrote it in by hand). So, buyer beware, If you don't sign the final contract once the move is complete, you have some recourse, I am lucky I discovered this before the move was complete, otherwise, I would have been totally at a loss of about $750. So choose a different company. Good luck! read more

Do No Use Them! They are careless, snapped a foot off of my couch as putting it in the truck and that was the first price moved! O said he was going to order a new one and have it delivered to me, still waiting for it 18 months later. And they stated they would pack my stuff for me, I asked if the packing materials were included and was told yes. Then they arrived without the packing materials! O arrived with the materials but now said the boxes were extra. Wait, what? I would have gotten my own boxes at 1/2 the price if I had not been told they were included! So no, call someone else. read more

Esbai, Jambo and Diego were very professional, friendly, and executed their job quickly. All of our belongings were carefully wrapped, moved quickly and arrived with zero damage. We would definitely go with Move Square again-- especially since they have a 5% military discount! Awesome job guys!!! ***Update Aug 2020*** Hired Move Square again and the movers again did an awesome job! This time I had David, Alex, and Jose Luis and they were sooooo fast that we did the move in 3 hrs! Would definitely hire these guys again!!! read more

Very friendly and reliable service with lots of experience. Helped me move big appliances and install a new fridge.

They were responsive and offered competitive rates. They showed up on time and we're easy to work with. We accomplished the move in just two phone calls and 1 email. The two movers Miguel and Jimmie were such hard workers. They moved everything as fast as they could, and a mindful of the hourly charged. Miguel gave updates and time estimates as he worked. All of my items arrived without damage and scuffs. read more

Move Square Movers were pretty awesome! There was a little miscommunication about where the Pick-up location was. They accidentally went to my new location, vice my current location, which caused a slight delay in their arrival but once they arrived, Elan and his partner were very efficient and professional. They got right down to business and got everything packaged and loaded onto the truck and moved to my new Apartment very quickly. They were a delight to work with and I highly recommend this Company to do your next Move! read more

I've worked with many moving companies within the past decade - for local moves, for interstate moves, and even cross-country. Mistakes happen. Things will be broken. After all, movers are only human. But the complete lack of professionalism I've experienced with Move Square's management, during and after the move, was astounding. The manager refused to take any accountability for the damages and did not reimburse even at the minimum coverage ($0.60/lb). And the damage was extensive (please see attached photos). Most of my expensive electronics were broken during this move. Please support literally any other moving company. I originally scheduled a full-service local move with another company. I had done my due diligence and researched the original company. Unfortunately, they had a labor shortage and outsourced the contract to Move Square. I found out on the morning of, when Move Square showed up at my door. With short notice, I wasn't able to look into Move Square, nor was I able to purchase moving insurance. I made the snap decision to proceed with the move anyway. But God, I really should have gotten insurance. Note: Review cut short. See attached for full review They ripped my couch and broke the elevator in one fell swoop, racing to load the couch into the elevator without first checking if it could fit. They used the couch as a battering ram. (See photos) Worse, the crew didn't come forward to tell us they'd broken the elevator. We realized we hadn't seen them bring anything in for a while. Then we received a call from our complex who told us what the crew had done. This resulted in 2 hrs where the crew did nothing. We live on a higher floor, which means a lot of stairs. At least the crew felt guilty. So at the end of the day, the lead guy negotiated with the manager to knock the down time off our bill. Later, we found out that the manager had no intention of compensating us for damages because, in his mind, he'd given us a "discount". More on that later. Nearly everything with an electronic screen was broken. I thankfully brought most electronics ahead. But my TV was shattered. They do not box TVs. They throw a moving blanket on and wrap it in plastic. My Xbox, PC monitor and Bose speakers were also broken upon arrival. I suspect Move Square pays Yelp to filter out negative reviews from their overall rating. I also assume that anyone who gave 5 stars somehow had all of their things delivered intact without a need to put in a damage claim. But again, accidents happen. So professional movers usually send a claim form to provide compensation. Here's an indicator of how shady Move Square is. This is the only company I've encountered that doesn't provide one. You have to call the manager, Arslan, to "submit" your claim... If he chooses to acknowledge it. And Arslan was the LEAST professional part of this move. Forget the negligence of the movers. They at least felt bad. Even while his crew member was vouching for us, Arslan constantly talked over us. He acted like he was going above and beyond "giving us a discount" for the hrs that the crew didn't even work. We were exhausted after this one encounter (especially after the long, stressful move). Going forward, I worked with the original company to talk with Move Square. The other company provides Move Square with some of their extra work, so Move Square cares about this relationship. Arslan was finally on his best behavior, or so it seemed. Arslan supposedly agreed to take responsibility for the damages. I felt relieved. But only until I found out he had no intention of doing so. I called twice. 1st call: he denied ever agreeing to reimburse the couch or TV, which were the two most damaged items. He considered it as part of the 'discount'. I explained (while he talked over me) how this 'discount' was for the crew's downtime (which they caused). It didn't cover the new couch or the TV. Unrelenting, he said to call back to claim damages for the rest of the items I should have just kept him on the phone and finished unpacking right then to keep him to his word. 2nd: He claimed the account was "closed". I reminded him that he told me to call back claim the rest of the items. He just ignored and talked over me. Even at the min rate of 60₵/lb I should've been reimbursed at least $200, and that's excluding the couch and TV. While trying to reason with him, Arslan hung up. And that is exactly why a company like Move Square chooses not to have a claim form. Please just support ANY other moving company. After learning what Arslan had done, the original company stepped up to help reimburse me when they weren't even the ones who damaged my belongings. These are other companies who understand that this is a people business and sincerely want their customers to have a good experience and are willing to make it right. Arslan should not be in business where people are concerned. read more

We needed two strong guys to move some heavy pieces of furniture in our home. One on the ground floor in a bedroom to our garage. The other piece from a second floor bedroom down 19 stairs to the downstairs bedroom. Malik and Akhmed (newly immigrated from Chechnya) handled the task with smiles. Did I mention that we scheduled this at 4 pm one day for a 9 am move the next day. Everyone in the business charges the same standard rates. Go with people getting the best reviews. This company does it right. read more

We hired move square to move several pieces of furniture to and from different addresses. The movers were very kind and courteous, and made sure to really protect the items that I had to move. One of the items was a grandfather clock, which was very sensitive, and they took a lot of care to make sure they did not damage it. I would definitely use them again. read more

We used Move Square last month to move our offices (4 L shaped desks, numerous tall lateral cabinets, computers and peripherals, and misc furniture).

We used their moving service from San Diego to LA. Although we contacted Move Square at the last minute (the other mover we organized cancelled on us 4 days before), these guys were professional. They came on time with a heads up via a text & call. Although the whole move process took a little longer than expected, the crew smoothly finished the move. No damages to furniture or loss. They even took empty boxes and some other trash. We gave them generous tips and they also appreciated. We will definitely consider using Move Sqaure again in the future. Well done read more

Diego, Alan, and Vitaly worked on our move from San Diego to Los Angeles. We had a very straightforward move from 8am-4:30pm. We took care of disassembling furniture and packing fragile and loose items prior to the move which really helped make the move more efficient. They were able to pack some of the larger items. They worked hard the entire time, were open to our request, and friendly. At times one of the guys was a little less aware of his surroundings, but Diego helped manage the team to make sure we stayed on track and got the items out carefully. Overall, it was a great experience for us. read more

This company moved us September 5 one of the movers dropped a night stand and it rolled down a flight of stairs and when it landed it broke the leg off and shattered a tile on landing . The owner promised to repair the tile and night stand now it has been 4 days and he says it's our problem. We tried calling him and asked for it to be finished ASAP as we are being charged daily by the owner of the condo until it is repaired. He also refused to give his insurance information as he didn't want to use it and he promised to fix it all himself. Highly disappointed and dissatisfied. read more

We hired Move Square to help us move from our home in San Diego to our new home in Woodland Hills. Carlos and Will were prompt and professional every step of the way. They showed up on time, and worked HARD from 8am in San Diego until 10:30pm in Woodland Hills completing our entire move in a day. Not to mention they still had to drive back to San Diego at 10:30pm! We had quite a few large, very fragile items and they carefully packed and moved each one perfectly. Every item was treated with care. Both homes were three stories and they never once complained about the stairs or anything else. Just showed up, worked incredibly hard, and did great work. Could not recommend this crew enough, and could not have been happier with the experience. If you have a move coming up look no further. read more

Diego and Ibrahim helped me with my move today, they really took the stress out of moving. From my initial contact and speaking to someone about my inquiry to the last box off of the truck, I couldn't have been more pleased with the professionalism and service of Move square.

They took time to pay attention to details of asking me where I wanted to place my bed and removing extra plastics from my items, they went above and beyond. Thank you Diego and Ibrahim! read more

We recently purchased a home in Chula Vista and were moving from Poway. Due to certain conditions of our purchase our move date was in limbo. Once we received the move in date for our new home we reached out for quotes and short notice availability. Move Square was quick to respond and able to accommodate us. Carlos, Diego, and Marat worked tirelessly to get us moved as efficiently and quickly as possible. They were able to get everything out in a timely fashion although we were still packing. They did a phenomenal job moving our piano down from the second floor and up to the second floor of our new home with no issues. No complaints from me another grateful customer. read more

Moving sucks! Now that that's out of the way, I would like to share my experience shopping for a mover and what I learned. - Most of the quotes/offers itemized every detail. This could be good, but I found it was a way to jack up the price. My move location was less than 15 miles which is a trigger for a price increase of over 15 cited on many quotes. Gas was another price some companies said they could waive while negotiating which started at a high price for the mileage like $50. - Hourly rates have a minimum of 3 hours. Every company had that as a minimum so if you don't have much to move and think you can move it yourself it's something to consider. Be prepared to pay the hourly rate X 3 as a baseline. - Asked if they are licensed. Seems silly to ask but better safe than sorry. With that said, I was very pleased to get a quote for the hourly rate and nothing else. I was actually worried up until when I got my receipt that I was going to have some other hidden fee but the quote and this company were 100% reliable and to the word from start to finish. The day before I was called to be informed of the time I had available within an hour (between 0800-0900) and that they would call 30 mins prior to arrival. Got a call around 0730 today and the guys were here at 0800. I was impressed how fast they were and very considerate. I was unprepared and my apartment was (is still) a mess! I was pretty embarrassed about it all but they were cool and super nice. I was trying to keep up with them clearing drawers and they helped me along the way to stay on target. My move was to a storage unit I have that was already half full and I still have stuff to box up that will be added in by me within the next few days. My goal was to get all the big and heavy stuff loaded first and load the rest in my car so I still have some stuff for my last few days here. I'm also a hopeless procrastinator. Anyway, when we got to my unit I let them know my plans to put the rest of my small stuff in storage later on and the guys made enough space to put all of the big stuff that was loaded into my unit and also helped reorganize the unit so the rest of my stuff would fit. Above and beyond in my opinion. So when it was all done I thought I will probably be paying more than the hourly rate but sure enough, it was just that. Very please with the service! No nonsense great service from start to finish. read more

At the recommendation of a friend, we hired Move Square to move our furniture to our new house. The customer service over the phone was great and even though we had to reschedule at the last minute,it was no problem with Move Square. We got a confirmation call the night before the move and also the morning of to let us know our movers were on their way. Our movers were Juan and David and they were amazing. They both were extremely friendly and professional and most importantly, very careful in packaging and moving our belongings. Both of them were very thorough but also very efficient, not wasting any time. Juan and David really went the extra mile and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for movers. read more

Anthony and Deshawn did a great job helping me move! Definitely would recommend. I will be using their services next time as well.

Excellent and reasonably priced service. Both Diego and Ibrahim were really helpful and finished the move so smoothly.

I really wanted to write a great review on this company. I gave them a chance to make things right but in the end they didn't seem to care. At first communication was great. When they arrived things were looking good. Then bam.. it seemed as if they were in a big hurry to get things done. We were moving from San Diego to San Clemente. We moved all of our delicate things we didn't want broken ahead of time and thankful we choose to do that. We have some expensive mid century furniture and went to great lengths to get them to understand that we wanted it wrapped well etc. When it got to our new home, 3 of the four sides of both couches had scratches, chips and wood dents. They also moved a bed frame into one of the bedrooms and instead of bending over to move it, they guy used his foot (because he was on his phone) and put a huge scratch in our wood floor. They also broke a glass picture that cannot be replaced. I realize furniture is just "stuff" it was the lack of care, the incessant talking on their cell phones and the absolute lack of consideration that got me. When we inquired what they were going to do about everything, they agreed to reduce their fee by 30 minutes off the clock. That is nothing. My couches will cost more than the cost of the move to have repaired, not to mention fixing the huge scratch in the wood floor. Think twice before you give these guys a shot. I would never recommend them read more

I previously used Move Square back in March 2020. I was so genuinely impressed that when I needed to move again only 7 months later it never occurred to me to hire anyone else. From the 1st phone call and amazingly accommodating my needs they once again deserve a 10 STAR!!!! Instead of 2 movers the manager sent me 3 and a truck. Granted I literally only moved less than 1/2 a block. But they still treated it like a long distance move. Everything was shrink wrapped and handled with care. I truly appreciate the hard work of CARLOS, CRISTIAN and DANIYAR. It was down steps and then new place was up steps. Never once did they ever complain...and it was SO HOT last week. Kudos to these fine young men!! Great job. Next move I'll definitely be calling to request you :) PS....they even helped with packing up boxes and taking down curtains. EXCEPTIONAL !!! Thank you gentleman!! read more
