We had a great experience with Peninsula Pack and Move. This was a challenging move with a difficult house to move out of and into, and the crew handled it professionally from start to finish. The team worked efficiently and packed the truck expertly--everything was secure, and nothing was broken or damaged, which really speaks to their care and experience. Toward the end of the move things did slow down a bit, but we were also coming up on nearly seven straight hours of work, so that was completely understandable. By the end, most of the large furniture items were placed inside the house as requested, and the majority of the boxes were left neatly in the garage, which will make unpacking fairly manageable. Overall, great service, strong work ethic, and a crew that clearly knows what they're doing. I would absolutely recommend Peninsula Pack and Move, especially for more complex moves. read more

I would NOT recommend this company! I was quoted $175 hourly for a 28' truck and 3 guys and a minimum of two hours. An additional $50 was disclosed after they showed up. The workers were not efficient with packing the truck, layering things, one layer deep and then taking an unpacked load. This happened not once but twice, stretching out the hourly rate they were making. They did not hook up my washer and dryer as I was told they would and they damaged two pieces of furniture without disclosing they had. We ended up having to rent a U-Haul truck for two more days to finish what they weren't able to finish and this was after we had already packed a PODS container to the max in our driveway. So the stuff they were responsible for moving was mainly furniture. This is not the first time I have moved a moving company in Monterey County and so I had an idea of approximate cost and time. This company milked the clock, costing me more than twice what the move cost the previous time. At one point while moving some furniture at my old place, one of the movers voiced that he had stolen a piece of candy from me. I didn't think it was any big deal and laughed it off, but it made me wonder why he would do that and if he had done it before. When I attempted to contact the owner, David, I left a message, letting him know that I had issues and wanted to talk to him and rather than calling me back, he text me to tell me that he was really busy and that he was able to text. I would assume that being a local company wanting to make a great name, he would've contacted me back to figure out what happened and how he could make things better. The lack of upfront communication carelessness, and the fact that they took advantage of the situation is unacceptable. I expected better. If I could leave zero stars, I would. The service provided on June 27, was not $2500 worth. Do NOT book this company. read more

We use this company to move out of our home booking was easy, reasonably priced and quick. It was explained at Booking that I would have no problem. Re-hiring them to move to our new house. They placed all of our stuff in storage and the three guys working did an amazing job. However, when we move to our new home and we hired the same company, we had one less guy for the same price which naturally took them longer. It was not explained that due to it not being in San Benito county the price was different. I figured I was just miscommunication and continue the service. Once we got to our new location, I noticed a lot of the items were broken, and the mover said that it was due to the weight of the item and that the original mover should have dismantled the furniture fast forward to getting our stuff into our home, the movers said they cannot build our furniture to them, not being the ones to dismantle some of it. I explained it was not explained to me that it was going to be an issue and that I did book same company that dismantled my furniture after talking to the supervisor he explained it wouldn't be a problem. However, the mover stated it would take him a long time due to not being the one to dissemble, and I was going to end up paying more for him trying to figure it out. I wish I would've known this, and I would have gone with another company that was five dollars more an hour however they took pictures of the items when dismantling them and explained it was not a problem to put it back together if we hired them. I am now having to build the bed myself having to buy a new dresser that cost me $500 and buying new cubes for my clothes since they were ripped. ** updating to explain for response** My bed frame is from living spaces and dresser is from Ashley's not IKEA. The cubes are from ikea but the actual broken pieces were very pricey and sturdy material. The people that disassembled our furniture from your company or yourself did not explain that they were the same individuals that needed to assemble it in order to not have problems. If I book you for moving out and into a new home it shouldn't be my responsibility to have the same people loading and u unloading my items. The movers made it very clear that they did not know how to put my items together since they were not the ones to disassemble however, I paid the same amount so why am I the one to be at a disadvantage. It shouldn't be the customers responsibility to get the same set of movers. We did speak on the phone that day and the employee said he would try but it would take him "an extremely Long time because all of these screws, I don't know where they go" I pay per hour so it would be on my dime for them to figure it out. Just a recommendation to have your employee take photos and maybe have them send it to you so you can ensure it can be assembled if they book you again and not have to deal with my dilema. No I declined paying $49 an hour for insurance. Both jobs took 7-9 hours so that would be pricey. It was a risk I took and now paying for it. Thanks read more

The movers were late (past the range they gave). They were sweet men, however, the time required for such a small amount of belongings is absolutely astonishing. I moved from an apartment to a furnished home only 15 minutes away. I supplied approximately $200 in moving materials, yet the move still took 7 hours and cost $1,200 (Paid Zelle to avoid another 5% added). In total, my move today (pictured here) was $1400, two boxes of kitchen supplies(as I again, am moving into a furnished home), my clothes, and my daughters room belongings. Two men = 14 hours of labor for this? The math is just not mathing for me. Billing also began before any actual moving started, which added to my frustration- they parked on the wrong street at said "arrival" time on paper. I move an average of 1-2 per year and I have never had service take this long nor be this expensive. I would not hire these movers simply because you can find people to give you a great service and work very efficiently. read more

A+ all around! Booked our last minute move a week in advance with text/phone confirmation. Reasonably priced, transparent. Day of move all 3 movers were efficient, took excellent care of our stuff (all in great condition), with commendable work ethic. One of the best moving experiences we have had, strongly recommended! read more

Fantastic experience with Peninsula Pack & Move! Jesse is very responsive, clear & professional communication, excellent follow up & reconfirmed all details a couple days prior to scheduled move; arrived exactly on time; movers were great to deal with- professional & friendly & careful moving. Rates were clearly explained & payment was easy. Overall outstanding service & I would use Peninsula Pack & Move again. read more

Good group. Showed up on time. Got it done. Resolved the challenges that came up. Would recommend using them. Moved from a 4 bedroom to a 4 bedroom, with heavy furniture and a lot of boxes. read more

We rented a UHaul ourselves and only needed help unloading it at our son's apartment in Monterey. We got a quote from 3 places in the area and they all were about the same hourly rate but Peninsula Pack and Move only had a 2 hour minimum compared to 4 for the other places. That was perfect because we didnt have much stuff but a few heavy things that we needed help with. David was very accommodating in scheduling our move and was very responsive. Chris and Jesus came for the move and they were awesome. They moved everything quickly and even had to take a bedframe apart to get it in but they had tools and took care of it all. I highly recommend them and I will use them again when I need help. read more

Family Owned Business. Uncle Jesse and nephews Joel and John have done many moving projects (at first just moving things around my house and garage), and then into PODS and out of PODS for me for a year. Then finally a long haul job from Prunedale to Vallejo. Really good at packing delicate paintings. Strong, skilled, hardworking young men. read more

We are very happy that we chose Penninsula Pack and Move. We made the initial reservation with David, and the price he quoted was in our budget. Their fees were transparent with no hidden surprises. The movers arrived a bit earlier to get started. They called us beforehand to make sure the earlier start was OK. Their truck had more than enough cubic space to comfortably load our items so they were able to make the move in one trip. They quickly disassembled things that were too big to move through the door in one shot. They made it up and down the stairs without any scratches or damage to the walls and floor. Jonny and his partner were very respectful and professional. The movers made an impossible job for me, lookly effortlessly easy for them. Thank you, Peninisula Pack and Move. I recommend Peninsula Pack and Move to anyone looking to relocate. read more

I have moved twice now with the help of this company. Both times they were the most prompt and professional folks who were hard working, honest and never damaged any of my items. One move was from Marina to Monterey and the other was Monterey to San Jose. Honest pricing + very competitive staff makes them a no brainer. I cannot recommend them enough, especially being a small business. read more

The estimator failed. And then when he was called on it, he said "you have a history of being a mover, you know that sometimes you can't get it all in the truck" NEVER IN MY MOVING EXPERIENCE DID WE LEAVE CLIENTS PROPERTY 226 miles away from their new home. Then try to get a new contract signed to move the items. No. You were hired specifically to move a three bedroom house, with 5 pieces specifically mentioned on the walk through. Two of those pieces are now 226 miles away and I'll have to arrange someone else to pick up. That being said, the three movers worked hard and fast and were pleasant to deal with. They did everything they could and packed the truck in record time. I would hope this company that has many names retired this estimator and hire someone who knows the job. I'll arrange for the left behind items to be moved by another company. This one can't handle the big loads. read more

Excellent service Right on time. Took great care wrapping and protecting all furniture. Would use them again. !! Very couteous read more

I would highly recommend Peninsula Pack & Move. David patiently and quickly answered all my questions and was very easy to book with. They have some of the best rates that I found. The team of movers was efficient, friendly, and professional! Couldn't ask for more. Would absolutely use them again. read more

These guys were amazing! They were attentive, cooperative, respectful, hardworking, much more careful with my stuff than I am, and had a great sense of humor. I would use them again but I hope that I never move again. I will be sure to recommend them to anyone I know. Oh, and they are reasonably priced. They definitely took away a lot of the stress of moving. read more

Wow! I highly recommend Peninsula Pack and Move! They were professional, very kind, moved our things with care, and worked super hard to get the job done. We are really pleased with their service, definitely above and beyond. I was unexpectedly sick and not able to finish a few boxes or participate much in directing the move, but they managed to get it done without any complaint. Great price for quality of service! read more

These guys were absolutely great. Three young guys showed up to my mom's house on time, worked quickly, and took great care of her antiques, wrapping them in blankets and plastic. They helped me organize the storage unit. Done in nine hours with a 3-hour commute from Monterey to Contra Costa. My only recommendation is bring cash to pay for the move (calculate the number of hours x hourly rate). Zelle (through Chase) was unreliable. I had to pay a 5% service fee for using a card. Would use them again! read more

Great service and price! Peninsula Pack & Move made our lives so much easier moving 115 miles away. The movers were timely, efficient, and friendly! read more

Joel and John knocked it out of the park. Great service and courteous customer service. Highly recommend PP&M for your moving needs!

Whatever you do.... Do not hire this company. My photos are indicative of the type of work they preform, not to mention, they have sticky fingers and are dishonest. Do to litigious matters I will complete my review after the dust settles. Pls review all picks. read more

We called for help moving some furniture and kitchen items from our condo to a storage unit. We were getting ready to sell the condo and wanted to have it cleaned out. The team showed up on time on the day we requested. We had a small 2 hour job but needed the truck and labor. So happy with the work done by the guys. We will call them again for the final move when this place sells!! read more

They showed up on time I called them my angels because I was so stressed and overwhelmed with the task of moving, but they were very professional and careful with my items wrapping things up. Nothing was damaged!! I highly recommend them for your next move. Thanks guys! read more

Update: really nice movers and friendly as well. However, next move I'll use only moving card board boxes and nothing that can be easily opened or viewed. read more

On time, efficient and got the job done. Good value, great quality of service! Would not hesitate to call them again.

I recently contacted Peninsula Pack & Move regarding picking up and moving some furniture that required many flights of stairs. They were awesome and made the job look easy! They provided me with a 30 minute arrival window and showed up right on time. These gentlemen were also kind enough to make a trip back when the seller of the furniture forgot to include some pieces at pick up. Overall, I would use Peninsula Pack & Move again and recommend to friends. read more

Peninsula pack and move did a great job helping my daughter move across Santa Cruz after ucsc graduation. I got a late start scheduling this but they were very accommodating and had a crew and truck for my preferred time. They arrived promptly and got right to work and finished in the estimated time. Super efficient, careful and conscientious; the moving men were awesome. Clean, friendly, polite and charming. They helped me move a heavy table i had driven over in my car. The move was into a 3 level unit and it was quite an aerobic workout but they worked diligently the whole time. And they had the best rate too. YAY! Great experience. Super moving company. Will use again. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Peninsula Pack & Move. I called in the morning and within a couple of hours, my furniture was moved! It wasn't easy. There were 2 very large and very heavy pieces that had to be navigated and transported downstairs. The two young men handled themselves professionally and were able to do the job without fail. Thank you! read more

Great communication all the way from beginning to end of our small in-town move in Santa Cruz. Heavy, awkward pieces and the crew were pros. Family run, hard workers and efficient. Use these dudes . read more

Pros: -Easy to get a quote and decent pricing ($115 per hour for two movers with a truck). -Very kind, hardworking movers. They were patient with my mother who at times was unclear or changed her mind about where she wanted furniture located. I never saw them take a break, other than when I forced them to stop for pizza. They had an excellent attitude, although they weren't the fastest movers I've ever had. -They showed up on-time within their half hour window. Cons: -They showed up with blankets but didn't really use them as much as I'd have liked. A few pieces of the more heavy furniture got pretty dinged up and it could have been avoided if they used the blankets they had. My dryer is also a bit worse for the wear. -Communication about billing could be improved. There were some charges that caught us off guard (3% for using a credit cards, insurance, etc). The charges weren't necessarily unfair, but I think had they been communicated up front it would have been better. The pricing wasn't all that competitive once the fees were added in. Would I hire them again? Yes, but I'd be more insistent that they use blankets on stuff. read more

This moving company showed up on time, which was 9 o'clock on a Monday morning. They were professional and friendly. They did a wonderful job of protecting our furniture and items. They were also mindful of our two dogs. We arrived at our new destination ahead of schedule, which meant that it would not be as expensive as we thought.Our Destiination had 27 steps. These movers never complained and took all of our items respectfully into the house. I would highly recommend these movers. (My take away from this experience is to use professional movers even if you're moving from one unit to another. Our previous property management company recommended their friends and they charged us much more money and ruined several pieces of furniture. They also did not show up on time.) read more

The two young guys who did the job were pleasant people. Late and confused but nice guys. The damage done costs less than $40 for me to replace but the response when I tried to report it to them was not what I expect from any company. Professional would be the last word I could use to describe this company. They removed a couch to be given to friend and in the process they broke my thermostat off the wall along with other small issues but they are easy to buff out. When they were going down the hall, I was behind them. I heard something when it happened but they played it off and replaced the thermostat onto the wall plate before I could see what happened. They said it was nothing but I did notice a little tooth pick sized plastic on the ground but I honestly thought it fell out of the couch and I got distracted because they were about to run into a light fixture near the bedroom. They eventually gave up on going through the hallway/bedroom. And got stuck again at the front door, so I had to help them get out. As I was reattaching the front doors, they left and I walked back in and inspected the house & that's when I noticed the thermostat dial looked weird. It looked weird because they broke the little adjustment dial off the face of the thermostat. When I tried to put it back on the whole thermostat fell off and hung by the wires! When we called the moving team they didn't answer so I called their business number where I was talked over by some young guy telling me he couldn't do anything about it and they aren't responsible. I repeatedly tried to get a word in but he would repeat the same line. When he finally stopped I recommended he get a report from the guy who moved it and I asked to be contacted by an owner because I want to report the mover. He then said he heard from the mover that they bumped something on the wall and that both he and the mover are co-owners. I said if I were him I would wait and get the full story from the mover. Then he said "I feels like I'm being recorded" and told me that no insurance will help because the option was declined by the friend who called for the survive and then he hung up when I tried to ask him about the situation. I even gave them a hand when they struggled to maneuver the couch but this is the return!! Beyond disappointed and yeah it's inexpensive to replace a thermostat but the principle of having "pros" behave this way is why I am here writing. So my warning, the negligence and disrespect of those involved in this company might be a minute expression of their true company culture. I would never recommend this company to anyone. 0/5 stars. Update: The phone number to speak to this company is the phone number provided here on this Yelp page. Now I see they responded to my review and they basically claim 'you have the wrong guy.' Wow. read more

Very good movers! Responded quickly and swiftly came to the location at the exact time.
