Long story short, they helped me very last minute out of a jam. I had originally contracted the movers in the area with the most reviews and it was a BIG mistake. They ended up pulling out mid move and left me high and dry. Rafael and Top Notch saved the day! I messaged Rafael on Yelp at like 8:30 pm and he was able to have his crew out the next morning at 8 am to pick up the pieces that the other company left me with. I couldn't believe he was able to help us out on such short notice. Great communication, efficient crew and overall 5 star service. Don't hire Travares if you are considering and hire Top Notch. Save yourself the headache and get the best with Rafael.

The price for moving out seemed very reasonable, as did the storage fees. I finally found a house and they moved me in. Everything was so well packed. when the bill came for moving me back in, I was very pleasantly surprised...much less than I thought it was going to be. monterey xfer checks all the boxes, no pun intended!

What a great find for me having lived in Monterey for 22 years! I used to take my papers to UPS…read moreand would blindly hope their third party vendor would treat my documents securely. UPS charges more because they charge around $1.50/pound and a banker's box is around 35 pounds, which could then run someone around $54 a box. Monterey Transfer only charges around $10 a banker's box. What a difference. Also for a very small extra fee, they'll let you watch the papers being shred on their very large industrial shredding machine on site. That alone is worth going with them. On top of all of this, their office staff was very professional on the phone and very friendly and kind in person. The building and site was clean and organized. Highly recommended and I would use them exclusively in the future.

South Bay Moving Systems overcharged us by over $4,000, violated their contractual delivery…read moreguarantee, charged for services we explicitly declined, and then completely ghosted us when we attempted to resolve the issues. We are now forced to dispute the charges through our credit card company and file complaints with federal regulators. What Went Wrong 1. Massive Billing Errors & Overcharges Original contract: $7,284.89 (later adjusted to $7,194.78 based on actual weight) They charged us $10,244.04 on July 25th - nearly $3,000 MORE than the entire contract amount Added an unauthorized $650 charge on July 27th for repacking services we explicitly declined via email Issued an incomplete refund of $6,509.08, leaving us overcharged by $1,575.18 They admitted to the billing errors but have not corrected them 2. Broken Delivery Guarantee Contract explicitly stated: "guaranteed delivery within 5-11 days from pickup." They delivered on day 12, forcing our family with two small children to sleep on air mattresses and eat takeout because we had no kitchen supplies. There was no apology, no compensation, and no accountability. 3. Complete Communication Breakdown Promised on pickup day (July 16th) that we'd receive delivery scheduling information Went completely silent between July 18-25 despite our calls As a family moving cross-country with small children, we had no idea when to expect our belongings Had to repeatedly call just to get vague "within 11 days" responses 4. Management Refuses to Respond After the billing disaster, I attempted to resolve directly with manager Justin Jenkins - who is the CEO's son. I have had to pro actively reach out to him every day for over two weeks and nothing has been. He promised to put me in touch with the CEO which has not happened. We are 2 months past the move and they still have our money. A friend in King City, CA asked if they should use Southbay for an upcoming move to OR and we told them no, and Id say the same to anyone looking at this review

I'm in…read morethe military, so we've moved domestic to overseas and vice-versa many times, but this is the first time we've had two different companies for packing and driving. The packing company (a local company, not Poulos) did an "okay" job on the first day, but the guys from Poulos absolutely knocked it out of the park on the second day. Brian was at the house ready to go before I even arrived, right at the beginning of the "arrival window" at 0800. He and Cristian started off strong, and as the day went, Nathan and many more team members showed up and seamlessly integrated into the flow (Josh, Octavio, Chris, Emanuel, Luis, and both Davids -- apologies if i missed anyone!). The guys clearly understand the importance of being professional and personable, and everyone was courteous and respectful of our house and property. They worked quickly and efficiently as a team and had everything loaded and ready to ship by 1630. Moving with the military is always stressful, but Brian and his team went above and beyond to make this as easy for us as possible. This was the best interaction I've had with a moving company in 15 years of service. They have my highest recommendation, and will be my preferred TSP in the future. Great job guys!

Thank you! Communication was easy, though sometimes took a couple hours to respond. Move day went fairly smoothly, and we were happy with the care taken to blanket and wrap items. The only disheartening thing was they really hesitated about moving our TV stand because it has glass shelves and is fragile. They didn't say "no" but just kept saying it's fragile and what do we want to do about it, and we were so stressed from the move we just said to not worry about it and we'd figure it out... So we ended up having to donate our TV stand because we had no way to move it. We'd still use them again and recommend them. Maybe just with fragile items have a game plan beforehand.
