    Oversized couch over balcony
    Tiffy L.

    So I had quite a challenging move as I had to get all of my furniture, including bed frames, drawers, cabinets, and an extremely oversized couch out of my two-story condo. My biggest concern was my oversized couch because it would not fit through the narrow hallway stairs, and I knew it had to be thrown over a balcony. Proper Moving came through strong, they thoughtfully wrapped and secured all furniture to avoid any breakages. And were successfully able to maneuver my couch into separate pieces and get it out through the balcony on the second floor. I have to give a shout out to Ismiah as he was kind of managing or taking the lead on the whole move with his team. I hired three movers for the first night and two Movers for a second afternoon. Proper Moving is the most competitively well priced moving service in Orange County. Their response time was very prompt and they were very professional. oh, they even moved all three of my TVs, including a large 80 inch without breaking any of the TVs. They made sure to check before mounting and after relocating the TVs to make sure they all still work. Note: they just do not remount the TVs for you at the new place. Cash payment is required to avoid card fees. If you are hiring professional movers, please be sure to keep them stocked with beverages and don't forget to tip them for their hard physical labor. I feel like $50 tip per Mover should be standard! Couldn't have done this without Proper Moving, so thank you for decreasing my anxiety and stress. I will definitely be referring this company! THANK YOU ISMIAH!!

    Ishmael and Sean (Shawn) helped out tremendously in my move. I moved from a 3rd floor no elevator and they were sweating hard as it is 94f today. We used so many wardrobe boxes and that was clutch! What I also liked was the value of front pricing and no extra charges. They took the time to wrap up the furniture, clean up any plastics and tape after unloading and they really felt like family in a way as we shared stories about our own family and kids. My wife got lunch for them and we made sure they were hydrated. Seeing how hard they worked, I wanted to make sure they were taken care of from my end as well (tipped them generously) because they have families to provide for. Definitely like the Ishmael and Sean (Shawn) that came down to help my family move. To the owner of Proper Moving, you have star movers on the crew you sent. They were wonderful. Hope they get an extra bonus in their paycheck for the excellence they provide ! ;)

    Ismiel and Ilia did a great job helping us load our Penske truck for our cross country move! Quick and efficient and made sure everything fit.

    I had 3 movers and my one bedroom move took only 3 hours. They showed up on time at 8a sharp. I'd highly recommend using them!

From the start, they took the time to walk through our home and clearly ask about everything we wanted to move so they could mentally map out how to load the truck efficiently. They were extremely diligent with protection, using blankets and/or shrink wrap on all furniture and electronics, and they were very by the book when it came to reviewing the contract and confirming details. I especially appreciated that they checked all electronics before and after the move and even had me climb into the truck at the end to verify that nothing had been left behind. The move‑in was just as smooth. We had labeled certain items to go to one level and others to another, and they followed those directions perfectly, with everything ending up exactly where it was supposed to, with no damage and no confusion. Their organization and care were obvious in every box/container they carried and every piece of furniture they placed. Moving is usually a very stressful experience, but Fito and the Pure Moving team made it feel manageable and even reassuring. I found them to be excellent in every way, and I would highly recommend both the company and this specific crew to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful, and professional help on moving day.

Then the messages started coming in. I received 10 inquiries from various moving companies, but Prodigy came in first. You can tell that the 1st messages look automated, but Abby came in with a personal message as well and sent me the specifics to my move quickly. I had her on the phone within a couple of hours. I had diligently worked through all the companies and looked at the various price points and what it included. I was really weary on how fast things would go, but Abby said, for the size of myhome, she suggested 4 movers at $195. Since they also had great reviews and seemed very professional, I completed my reservation by the end of the day. Day of move: Not going to lie, I waited too long to pack up my office and boy, did I feel it on moving day. My office was still not fully packed, it had a lot of furniture to be moved and I was literally still working when they arrived. Arrival time was between 8-9 AM. Ivan called a little after 8 AM to let me know they would be arriving in about 45 min since it was traffic and they were coming from the valley (I was in Echo Park). So I started excusing myself from work and prepared for their arrival. Everything happened so fast. I showed them around the apartment: 2 stories and 1 level up from garage (2 sets of stairs) and then a long driveway. I had stuff in the backyard and the balcony too. I asked if they could put some furniture out on the street for pickup and they helped me out with that as well! I let Ivan know that I was still working on breaking down the office, so he said he would go there last... and they all went to work. All I could here was the plastic wrap noise going round and round. They had broken down everything! Dining table, Peloton, Recliner chair.. It was amazing to watch and they did it with such care. They were done packing up in less than 4 hrs (3 bedroom apartment). We took the drive down south and they beat me there. They were already unloading and asking where to put things. Not only are they movers, they are also interior decorators LOL. We did not move into an empty house, so they helped us move things around and place stuff where we wanted. On top of that, they rebuilt all the things they took apart. I bought them lunch from a Busy Bee in San Pedro and a neighbor even offered them avocados from her tree! At the end of the day, I couldn't find my bag and phone! The whole team helped me try to find it because we thought it got buried in the garage! I had put it aside in one of the bedrooms and forgot where I had put it, but I was so grateful that they tried to help. I was thinking it would be an 8-10 hr day and it turned out to only be 7 hrs including the drive time. They made a very incredibly stressful time in my life as easy as possible. I definitely recommend Ivan and his team at Prodigy

Then Abby, the manager of schedule talked as if I was wrong and was unapologetic then just started complaining WHY CANT WE JUST TAKE THIS DATE SINCE MOVERS THERE ALREADY. I told her cuase were busy today and she just handled the entire situation as if we were to blame and never apologized. On top of that , their work order of WHERE to move my things was the WRONG ADDRESS!!! They dont really care about details and when they make mistakes, they act like your wrong and are rude about it. I understand miscommunications happens all the time, but even after showing her the clear emails which she confirmed herself in writing, she had no apologies. I have zero confidence in this mover company and cancelled the enitre order and will be hiring real pros. I have no idea how they got so many high yelp reviews. I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY.

They were friendly and handled my items with care. The biggest bump in the road was something that was completely my fault, but unfortunately, my sofa did not make it up the stairwell and had to go back to storage making it a very costly move as the drive time became much more expensive. They had really tried to make it work and sadly, my sofa didn't come apart so they had no option to even break it down. My only feedback would be that I had wished they had told me the estimated cost of moving the sofa back into storage as I probably could have gotten partway to a new sofa. Lesson learned for future moves -- make sure to measure the stairwells and elevator prior to the move! Thanks again Justin, Abu, and Nur!
