I am highly upset and disappointed with the disrespect that my furniture was handled. Lets start by saying a walk through occurred when the movers arrived. My move was from a house to storage unit as our new place was not ready yet. They were extremely nice all, 4 movers were cordial. 3 of the movers spoke limited English so there was a bit of a barrier; that being said I pointed out nd labeled items that were not to be loaded on truck. We were not fully packed that was ok, I asked that they load boxes, furniture and items that were and as I packed would include those boxes. No packing was asked of the movers that is to be made clear. Disassembling of the furniture, including the bed, tables, patio furniture and removing the TVs from the wall was made clear. This is what happened: - The movers taped and loaded empty or half empty boxes. - Furniture was not disassembled and broke during the move. - The TVs were boxed without using the foam pads that were provided in the box. They just stuffed the TVs in the box. - The ASKED to confirm to take a open box answer was no.. they took it anyway, taped it and ultimately took to storage. This affected the availability of boxes to pack with i had to run out and buy more boxes. - Boxes labeled food dont take they loaded on the truck. We were unloading the freezer and they asked to take the box i said NO. Walked off for 5 min to answer a question they loaded the box of frozen foods onto the truck along with the other food boxes. I ran out to the truck to let them know the mover said i dont know. i tried to explain. he attempted to look for the boxes and said its all the way in the back. ok we will get it on the unload. unloading i asked them for the food boxes they said ok. went to answer a question from another mover they had placed the boxes deep in the unit. i asked them to stop and find it the wall of boxes fell down. They had placed those empty boxes on the bottom and the heavy furniture on top. Found 2 boxes of food not the frozen food. Two movers are stepping on my stuff that fell and broke, while the other 2 are still loading up. Im telling them to stop and find the box but they wont. they are still were loading. Called the owner he said i should expect a number of broken items during a move. I explained about the food the lead said Damn well we've opened units with rats and mice and roaches before thats not good. All the while not insisting they help me or taking responsibility. - I asked to file a claim they wouldn't give me the info said take the $200 its better than what you would get from the insurance - Didnt finish the move had to keep the truck overnight, thats a charge that the lead said he would pay for however it was baked in the price a different area - the next day the lead said they did more damage to my furniture than i was aware of. pointed it out to me. they still have a piece to my grill that was not returned ..the drip tray. I asked repeatedly for the invoice took a week to get, no response on my broken furniture. I had to pay another mover to go in and move the items in the unit when they untaped it , the wall fell again the box with the frozen food was rancid in 120+ degrees the smell from the fish and meat was awful in the unit. when they found it one of the movers threw up. I could go on but wont it would be a novel. Dont do it Choose another mover. Do uhaul and hire a mover this company destroyed my stuff read more

See all

The BEST moving company in La! Not only were they super professional but they also gladly accommodated all my last minute needs. Super professional, very friendly, and extremely efficient. They took care of all our belongings and were a pleasure to be around. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDING AND USING THEIR SERVICES AGAIN! read more

We were sooooo thankful that we were able to get their services day of. They came very quickly and did such an amazing job of unloading our truck. We had moved cross country and it would've been super difficult if not for Akela Moving. The movers were extremely nice and personable and did everything so quickly. I've already recommended them to other friends and family thinking of moving to California. 10/10 for sure. Thanks Akela! read more

Good company! Fast response, excellent communication, very up front about costs and times, AND the best price I was able to find on top of that. They're courteous, friendly and they pay close attention to detail as well. Moving is expensive and HARD, if you want VALUE for the money you are willing to put into it Akela Moving delivers! read more

A great, new moving company who performed and delivered as promised. The owner personally does the moves with his business partner and they both do a great job. They were very self sufficient and required minimal direction. I would definitely recommend their business to anyone who needs to move from their old place to a new place. I really appreciated that they were very careful not to ding the new walls, and took their shoes off on my new carpet. Based out of DTLA and service the entire metro with their own truck, blankets, plastic wrap, etc. Will be using again for my next move. Great jobs guys. read more

Akela Moving was absolutely fantastic. They were so hard-working, efficient, and incredibly patient with our complicated multi-location move (to POD storage, new house under construction, and temporary house). Five guys showed up ready to get it DONE and they sure did! The job went fast and the price felt fair! Will definitely use them again! 10/10 recommend! read more

John, Tim and Andrew were all phenomenal and did a really quick job while still paying attention to detail! Amazing movers and highly recommend!!! read more

This guys was amazing ! Akela and his crew showed up on time and packed everything securely and in a timely manner! They wrapped all our furniture and took great care of everything. They were so fast .They worked amazingly and we could not have done the move without them. I would recommend Akela Moving to anyone in Southern California read more

I used Akela Moving last weekend for my move from Larchmont to Westwood - not only were these guys punctual but they were extremely reliable, fast and everything was made so easy! I'll definitely be using Akela for my future moving. These guys made it so easy and I really enjoyed our conversations throughout the day! read more

These guys were awesome. Fully prepared with truck, moving blankets, and anything else you can think of. Very timely, professional, and efficient. Everything got moved without a single scratch. Their price is also impossible to beat! Would without a doubt use them again. Highly recommend for anyone who is thinking of moving! read more

Very good service I got today especially from this Russian guy named Rafael, very easy to work with and reliable strong guys. Came to my home and were polite and fast and didn't waste any time, had a very big moving truck. Even went out of his way to take a video of my last apartment when my phone died. read more

Everyone at Akela has been kind and courteous. They arrived early and they were ready to work everyone was polite and worked well and were very careful with all my items they were sure to ask lots of questions and to make sure to put everything where it belong. Three great guys showed up and gave me a great experience and a good value for my money I highly recommend them as we know it can be hard to find good movers her courteous kind and honest. read more

These guys completely changed my perception of using a moving company. The last time I used one, they just milked the hours for as long as they could. Jason, the foreman, and his crew were real pros. They used extra caution with every box and piece of furniture they touched. They were incredibly fast too and finished about 2-3 hours sooner than I expected! I likely won't be moving again anytime soon but I am definitely making sure anyone I know that is moving will be using Akela Moving and Jason's crew. read more

Mike and his team were absolutely amazing. They took great care of our items and made sure everything looked perfect when they setup everything at our new place. can't recommend this moving company enough! read more

Best decision I could have made when moving. Scheduling the appointment was very easy and the accommodated the time and date I needed. The moving process itself was amazing. I didn't have to lift a finger. Josh and Ygor literally did everything. I felt so disorganized and overwhelmed but in one hour they have put my entire room on the truck and disassembled/moved my bed. They got everything into my new space easily and communicated to make sure everything was placed where I wanted it. They were friendly and flexible and also had all he tools and supplies needed. While unpacking a day or two after my move, I noticed I was missing a piece of art. I was so stressed out but I reached out to Akela and he was quick to respond and check the truck. It was late in the evening and he personally brought the missing item to me within 20 minutes of finding it. I can't recommend them enough. Five star service at an affordable price!! read more

I figured I would make my review after I have emptied all my boxes, which took a couple of months. With that said, here is my review. I was trying to make my move from CA to AZ before Christmas This would allow me to be with my kids and grandkids before Christmas. This is my first interstate move 40 years. The price I received was very good. However, you get what you pay for. Please keep in mind that Akela Moving is an agency and are not the actual movers. The movers they contracted were very nice and gave me lots of boxes prior to the move. After that, it got a bit shaky. First, I was asked to move the day of the move from a 2-day setup (Pack Day1 & Place in Truck Day 2) to an early date and condense pack and move to one day. This was because they all wanted to be home before Christmas, which I can understand. On the moving day, the moving team came late. They brought a rented moving van that smaller that what was required. I was told it would take the 4-5 hours and it took 8. Upon inspection, they almost forgot to pack the master bedroom closet until I brought it to their attention. They barely got everything into the van. Then they made me feel like I misled them on the size of move when they had already inspected the home twice. Basically, they misjudge the size. When they left, drinks (much I provided) and other garbage was left all over the house. They wanted me to be at my new house in AZ 9am the next day. That would only leave me a couple of hours of sleep after driving 9 hours. So, we agreed to 1PM. When they were completed the move, they asked for an additional tip from what was negotiated back in CA. After unpacking everything, I found that my cart and bathroom scale were missing. Also, a couple of my collector Hummels figurines were chipped. Yesterday, I found that the master bedroom frame was missing 2 screws and a cross support had collapsed. The upsides were that I did not have to wait for my delivery. The team was very friendly. The put together my office desk set, which was difficult to do. I was given a very good price. I was given lots of boxes. Most of the items was moved without being broken. Perhaps, if they did not feel rushed and brought the right sized Van they may have done a better job. read more

These guys are awesome. Showed up on time, exceptional handling of my stuff, and moved everything that I couldn't with reasonable price. Will definitely use them again next time I move. read more

Akela moving responded to my quote request with efficiency and clarity. I was easily able to figure out pricing for my move and schedule the exact time I needed. The 80s team movers from Akela were kind and very quick. They carefully wrapped the furniture to ensure it was protected in the move and were well organized. They also easily moved our refrigerator upstairs! Would definitely recommend to make your next move experience seamless and affordable! read more

This moving company rocks! So friendly, energetic and extremely helpful! Thank you Jason and Muhammad!! You guys made my move stress free! Will definitely be using them for any future moves! Thanks guys! read more

We used Akela Moving to move my elderly father-in-law from Fontana to San Diego to live with my wife and I. Akela was very communicative and more than helpful and flexible to get us moved as we had to change our dates duet to unforseen circumstances. Kuka and his crew were awesome and we had zero issues. They were on time, friendly, and worked efficiently. The cost was great for a 9 hour day and we would hire them again if every needed. I highly recommend Akela Moving to take care of your moving needs. You won't go wrong with them. read more

I hired Akela Moving to transport a large piece of furniture into my new home. Air movers were on time, courteous, and kept me updated on their estimated time of arrival. The two men who help me wore masks, were very polite, and took extra care to make sure that my furniture was wrapped and protected during transport. I hired them on the fly because I needed this piece of furniture moved quickly and they responded right away via yelp. No one beat their price! I would highly recommend them if you need professional, courteous movers who will take care of your furniture and make sure that it doesn't get dented or scratched. read more

Excellent service on time and worked so hard! Would hire again 100%. Yerbol team was great!

We had a huge move, 2 houses moved into one! 2 trucks completely packed, 6 movers and a non stop day! Each one of these movers hustled to get us moved, packed, transported, furniture was dissembled and re-assembled with care. It was an insanely hot day and despite the heat everyone was kind and courteous and got us packed up and moved into our new house. Even my daughter commented on how kind everyone was. We had a lot of big heavy pieces, outdoor patio set and a home gym. I am so appreciative to these gentlemen! It was a tough day and they got it done. All I can say is if you need a moving company, book them! read more

Definitely recommend this company! On time , everything is perfectly packed and fast movers! Thank you !

Mike and his crew were incredibly efficient and got what should have taken six hours done in four. Not to mention very affordable. These three guys worked their tails off. There were dozens of stairs at both my old place and the new one, but by the way they handled it, you'd have thought everything was on the ground floor. There's absolutely NO WAY we would have been able to complete our move without them. My good friend recommended them to me (thank you!) and now I'd like to pay it forward and recommend Akela Moving to you and your friends too. Happy holidays! read more

Arrived timely, moved quickly, and were reasonably priced. Overall did a good job and was worth the money spent. Only problem I had was they were not able to assemble my bed, connect refrigerator, or connect washer/dryer. I thought I needed screws for bed and mirror but after movers left I looked behind the dresser and screws were there and Because a piece to my bedpost was not on top of bed post movers said set up would be dangerous. Anyhow will be hiring someone for assembly. But all of the gentleman were excellent movers. Would recommend and will use in the future!!! Thank you read more

Angel was the best. Very considerate. Him and his crew did an amazing job with our move. Highly recommend you use this moving company!

This team is excellent, very quick, careful, professional and did a great job! Definitely hire them for your next job... 5 star service

If I could give this moving company 10 stars I would most definitely do that. Super professional, careful, on time, and very friendly. They were on time which was a plus. Their fee was definitely less expensive then other companies I looked into. I will be relocating within a year to Nevada and I am most definitely calling them when i move again. I highly recommend Akela moving. read more

It's was a easiest moving. Thanks guys. Nice and professional, rate is very fair. No headache at all. I've been dealing with a lot of moving companies always was something wrong like breaking smth or overcharging. Keep it up guys! I will always keep you in mind if i move somewhere and recommend to my friends! read more

Communication was great, showed up on time very helpful went above and beyond what we needed. Loved the attention to detail when packing our items in box's and wrapping all furniture nothing damaged everything went very smoothly and quickly would definitely recommend for any move! read more

We hired Akela Moving to move a one bedroom apartment from LA county to OC. Scheduling was super quick and easy with Akela, who was a very friendly guy. He answered all my questions about the move and let me know ahead of time what to expect. On the day of the move, Jason and Mohammad were punctual and quick to pack everything. They were nice and easygoing throughout the move. I would definitely recommend them for anyone moving to or from LA county. read more

My family friends in LA area needed help with moving last minute. On a suggestion from a close friend decided to give Akela as try. Excellent service all around, great care and efficient. Would highly recommend to anyone that needs help with a moving service! read more

Akela moving was awesome! Great prices and were very quick. They wrapped all of my items very nicely and everything was shipped in perfect condition. I would work with them again! read more

They were excellent in every aspect. On time, took great care of the items transported (they moved a small boat for me down to the Marina), excellent rate. Outstanding efficiency. Friendly service. What's not to like? I highly recommend Akela Moving - their job was well worth the price. I will definitely use their moving service again. read more

Good service from this company! They sent me 2 movers with a truck and they had all the supplies to make my move on a Sunday afternoon seamless and efficient in just a couple hours. Jason and his team were great, friendly, funny, and professional. They took care of everything and were so helpful with packing up my stuff. They carefully wrapped up furniture, disassembled and reassembled my bed, packed up my closet, and handled everything effectively. They had the challenge of moving my large couch out of my small apartment entry way and then up the stairs to the 3rd floor but did it with no issues. It was impressive! I usually hate moving but they made the process so much better. Would use this company again, I can't imagine moving across town without their help. read more

I used Akela in July and I was very impressed. They were friendly, efficient, and a great price. So I didn't hesitate to hire them again in December but later I found out that the ownership has changed. This time, the movers were noticeably slower, not very friendly, and charged us more money at the end. I could tell they just weren't very careful with our stuff and refused to help with disassembling a part of the sofa in order to make it fit thru the staircase. They simply said "we're not going to do that, but you can do it" and went outside for a smoke break while my husband and I were disassembling it. But after all the moving was done they just started slowly screwing in some dining chair legs even though we didn't ask them to, and I realized that it was because they wanted to work extra 15 min and they charged us for 30 extra minutes. Obviously we won't be recommending this company to anyone. read more
