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

Break in wooden support holding side mirror of dresser.
Susan W.

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.

Move fully complete :)

Movers destroyed the carpet cleaned 2 days prior

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!

Mission Valley

Was moving several hours north after selling house due to husbands sudden death…read more 24/7 was the only moving company i contacted who actually gave me a quote online. all the rest wanted more info or gave reasons why it would cost more to move. Booked 24/7 to do the work. They showed up on the scheduled day about 8:30 am and we did a walk thru, showing them what was going and what was not. moving from a 4 bdrm to a 2 bdrm takes some downsizing. They started right in, wrapping, filling boxes and moving them out to the truck. Taking apart the furniture that needed it and moving it out to the truck. They are definitely good at their job. It took them till 10:30 at night to get it all packed and stowed in the truck. They were prompt on delivery day too. Showed up at 9 am . started unloading and putting together furniture and placing it where requested. Took till 4pm before they were finished with their part of unpacking . Great job! I highly recommend this company. They are prompt, polite and very good at their job.

The person who booked us was very responsive and answered all our questions. The movers they sent were friendly and handled our stuff with care. They wrapped our furniture and took apart some of the bigger items and reassembled them when we got to the new house. They seemed to genuinely want to help. I honestly despise moving and I can't comprehend how these guys do it on a daily basis. Worth every penny to not have to do it ourselves.

Overall bad experience with this company. My wife booked them to help with the final couple items…read morefor our move on 10/24. Their initial time of arrival was between 12-2pm, however they did not arrive until 3:30. We chose this company because they gave us a quote of $100 fee for moving a massage chair but then when the movers arrived tried changing the number to $300. We settled on $200 since we were basically suckered into having to use them, and the issues continued from there. I walked them through the items we needed moved and the ones that we could move ourselves. They proceeded to wrap and pack several items that I told them not to move, adding extra time to the move. They disassembled and wrapped the crap out of several items that did not need to be broken down so much, adding time and frustration as the adjustable bed and couch were broken upon re-assembly. Luckily we fixed the bed, but the couch is not assembling correctly. I told them my 3 high priority items were the massage chair, bed frame and a squat rack. I noticed that the truck was filling up and asked if they were sure they would have room for the squat rack, and he assured me they would. Fast forward SIX HOURS and they did not move the squat rack as it wouldn't fit as i predicted and 25% of the items they dropped off were not re-assembled. They also ate their lunch/dinner upon arrival at our house at 3:30 and took some breaks. I am fine with that EXCEPT they charged us for 6.75 hours. 9:30 minus 3:30 is obviously not 6.75 hours. So not only did they charge us for their lunch and break time but even charged more on top of that. We were also tried from moving a lot of stuff ourselves that day but couldn't go to bed until they had moved our bed. They also left all the plastic wrap in our garage instead of taking with them for disposal. Overall i would not recommend this company to anyone and suggest you look for a more trustworthy company.

Jennifer helped coordinate every detail of the packing and moving with great communication. Vitalii was a great packer and was easy to work with because of his great attitude. The moving team was focused, caring, and provided good communication about their timeline. We arrived at a storage unit and Vitalii and the team used their expert Tetris skills to thoughtfully pack and store everything we brought - a brilliant feat as I myself wasn't sure it would all fit. Overall, outstanding service and I would not hesitate to recommend this team.

We used San Diego Moving & Packing for a local move and had a great experience…read more I went in with a goal of keeping it close to three hours. We didn't quite hit that, but at no point did it feel like anyone was wasting time. The crew hustled the entire job. They listened to how I wanted to prioritize the move. We focused on large furniture first, got all the key items handled, then worked through the rest. Communication was constant. They asked questions, followed direction, and adjusted quickly without any pushback. The team was professional the whole time. No hesitation, even with heavy items or sending things upstairs. Everything was wrapped appropriately, not overdone, just done right. Nothing was damaged, and they were careful with walls and flooring throughout. We had discussed heavier items and drive time ahead of time, and everything was handled fairly. No surprises. I also compared pricing beforehand, and their rate of $199/hour (cash) plus the $60 truck fee was in line with what I was seeing. We ended up at about 3 hours 45 minutes total and paid $825, which felt great for the level of effort and coordination involved. Every move is different, but there were no surprises. Vladimir, Dima, Greg, and Aibek were a great team. They worked hard, communicated well, and stayed professional throughout. Overall, a hardworking, professional crew that provides solid value and takes care of your belongings. I would definitely recommend them.
