    Piano from my moms
    Mayjane F.

    This is my second time using OVA Movers for moving my mom's beloved piano and other furniture. The team needed to move between 3 homes.All this in a little over 3 hrs. Im in awe of their quality. Very professional crew (Sherzod, Rusian, Dosan, and Christopher). Very careful and clean. Definately worth the money. will reach out again for our next move. moms piano will need to be moved one last time. Thank you Valentyn for coordinating.

    damage to flooring of apartment

    Ova movers was recommended to me by a friend. Unfortunately, I will never hire them for their services again. I hired two movers and when I led one of the movers to my apartment, he complained about how the walk to it was far. I'm not sure how a customer is supposed to respond to that comment. Luckily, I was able to shorten the distance via the use of the garage of the location I live. The younger mover wrapped a lot of the items I had and it took him a while. It seemed like most of the moving was done by the other gentleman who was much older. Once everything was moved, the younger guy said it took so long and I responded with yeah, it did. It took them 3 hours to load a 1 bedroom apartment into the truck. Then, he said to me "why didn't you tell us you were moving into a storage unit?" and I was surprised they didn't know. I sent them the address and perhaps it was naive of me to assume they would check to see where I was moving my belongings to. Once we got to the storage unit, it took them an hour to unload and then I paid with a credit card. The young man spoke with his boss on the phone and then told me "my boss asked why did the job take so long?". Once again, as the customer, what are you supposed to respond with? I was surprised it took them so long too. I have no idea what their schedule or day looks like but I was extremely annoyed with the complaints the younger guy said. I also offered to buy them lunch and they said no, they had work to do. Then, I received a text asking for a tip for lunch and I sent one. I tipped them for what I was initially quoted for as I didn't plan for it to be more than that. On Yelp it says they don't charge for the truck or toll but they do and I have it listed on the quote I received. Regardless of my not to great experience dealing with the younger mans lack of professionalism, they still did a good job. Edit: I forgot to mention, they damaged the flooring of the apartment. It's coming out of my security deposit.

    Adilet and his crew did an amazing job. This is my second move with them and they did great work.

    Adilet and his two men crew did an amazing job moving my massive amount of stuff within the city on a busy Friday. They were in and out in 3 hours. Courteous and professional .

    Runner to protect my carpet
    MonicA S.

    Requested a quote and response time was super quick. My brother used them before and they were fast and responsive. However, stars get docked when a $59 fuel charge was added on top of my quote. I moved less than one mile away. I think it's egregious to add that. If my quote was only $357, why am I paying more?!

    We went through Yelp to pick our movers inside SF (0.5 miles move), and based on the majority of reviews and discussions with Valentyn, who is very communicative, we picked Ova. Our experience was anything but great. From the beginning the team that showed up came with some attitude and argued about paying for TV protection, which was included, and then did not cover our floors claiming that they already have scratches. After 2 massive scratches they finally agreed to cover the floors. I just didn't realize we needed to beg for the basic agreement to protect wood floors. The original quote, which included a list of all our items and sizes, was for around 4-5 hours and we ended up at 7.5 hours, which included a lunch break on the middle. I think the business has to give more specific and better estimates, or start visiting the homes in person if they keep missing the estimate (other reviews that seem to be buried in Yelp have the same complaint) To top it off, they just seemed frustrated at drop off when some heavy boxes needed to go upstairs instead of the garage downstairs. So we ended up with our stuff in the wrong location. Finally when we unpacked they had destroyed the side of our mattress. I had wood chips and holes in it. Then the business owner claimed that their insurance covers items for few cents by weight and in a way did not want to file a claim for my mattress (or floors) as I "will only get $40-50 back." So their insurance is quite honestly a scam. Upon payment, which was again much higher than the quote, although we had a horrible experience we understand it was a long day and I gave the team a certain amount of tip and their main guy demanded that I give them more - when I opposed him he asked me to call the owner Valentyn, who insisted that that is not part of their business. Then I got sent the Venmo link from the mover so I can send more tips at a later time. They offered wardrobe boxes that were all broken, they had to tape them to hold few items. Just throw these. And to add a cherry on top, they packed all the wrapping paper and trash on the truck. Once we went inside, they proceeded to fill our trash bins and the Neighbors trash with all these items!! So we had an issue with our neighbor 2 hours after moving to our new spot... Again, the only thing that worked is that they showed up on time and Valentyn was very responsive leading up to the move and during/after. I cannot recommend this business at all

    Broken marble table
    Roman K.

    TLDR; broke our marble table before loading, offered us $34 reimbursement! Mixed experience, but major issues with damage handling. The movers broke our $400 marble table while packing inside our apartment (before even loading it into the truck). When asking for a refund, the movers assured me that Valentyn would make a reasonable offer for our reimbursement. Later that day he told me their insurance only offers $0.60 per pound of the item's weight - offering us $34 for our broke table. Please beware of this insurance policy! Reimbursements are offered by the weight of your item ($0.60 per pound). There was one positive with my experience, the employee Illia was very professional and helpful.

    Moving house!
    Joyce S.

    Tony, Dosan and Vlad came to help us move. They were extremely friendly and moved a ton of things, include some heavy gym equipment. What we appreciate that the they took care of all our items, wrapped and carried them in/out of our homes without damage. We would recommend them for any moves.

This also appears to be illegal in California "Unfair Competition Law (UCL): Charging for a service not rendered (like fuel not used) can be argued as "unfair or deceptive" under California Business and Professions Code § 17200, especially if the surcharge is used as a hidden profit center rather than a cost recovery tool." Below is a reply and here is my response: The information about the fuel fee was presented to be based on a percentage of the total move time. Not your actual cost, which I would have been okay with. I'm not asking for anything to be waived, just transparency. Your remarks about your family are completely out of line. It's clear you want to change the subject from your questionable practice and make this personal. It is not personal. I don't know you other than how you have presented your business here. Very Questionably. I see you removed your statements about your family business. I provided the law that it appears you are not following in a private message.

On the day of the move, the team arrived right on time. The foreman, Guillermo, assessed our situation and calmly confirmed my suspicious that we'd need two trucks (this my error, not OnTrack's). Before I could panic, he had contacted his team and we arranged that ours be a two day move. Guillermo's team wrapped our furniture and had the truck loaded swiftly. At the new house, we had a few of our family help direct traffic. I'd labelled every box with a color-coded room label and the team got everything to the proper room. On day two, Sammy -- part of the original crew -- acted as lead and we repeated the process. Here, a number of items still needed a bit of packing and his team had everything done in record time and -- bless them - marked the boxes for the proper room destinations without prompting. As I now unpack, I'm finding everything in excellent condition and couldn't be more grateful. We'd heard stories about moving nightmares and wanted to share a happy ending. Guillermo and Sammy were AMAZING and their crews were very hard working. Tips: my sister had a table of bottled waters, bags of chips, and other snacks ready for the team when we arrived at the new house. The team appeared grateful for the sustenance. We also tipped each person individually, in cash.
